- Jody sold her big house, did a year of downsizing coupled with no retail shopping and purchased land and placed her new tiny home. She was not talking about going tiny, she was going after it with all she had. It was great to meet her and learn about her life!

This is probably the most realistic tiny house I've ever seen! It's a large amount of space for one person and not so severely minimalist. She's able to keep a lot of stuff AND have decorative elements that bring her joy. LOVE IT!
I was impressed with the size of the cabinet top space in the lavatory. Her choice of upgrade on the tankless water heater was very interesting. Something to keep in mind for myself in the future. Even though I left a comment .. and the truth is .. for me .. I just can't do tiny house living. If others can, more power to em, big respect. But I just can't. I need space and freedom of movement.
@@bevalee1533 We had a tankless water heater installed in our regular old subdivision house in 2008 and love love love it! It does take some getting used to - takes longer for water to heat, can't take a shower while also washing clothes, etc - but the neverending hot water was huuuuge for our family. The one kid who took hour-long showers didn't doom the rest of the family to lukewarm or downright cold showers .... everyone had HOT water! Total game changer and STILL saved $ on energy costs. We love ours and would recommend it to anyone :-)
This actually makes tiny living look super doable and not as intimidating. She doesn't look like she is compromising anything to live tiny.
@@CHSwildcats19 Why didn't you just tell that brat not to take hour-long showers? Kids run the show these days.
CHSwildcats19 well said
This is my favourite tiny house so far. It looks SO spacious, and the layout is so inviting. I would keep the microwave and add a small dishwasher to the kitchen, I love the idea of the drop-down add-on for the countertop. But I love everything else about this place, Jody included. I love her whole vibe.
I love that you did not give up your life. You just got rid of stuff that consumed time! ONE awesome place! Love it!
May I suggest something? I have done it in my kitchen. I cover the sink with a piece of wooden board when I am chopping veggies etc. And thus increase my counter space.
debjani agarwal my husband and I travel for his job and live in hotels ( we’re looking to go tiny and start taking our home with us ) and that’s exactly what I do if we’re not in a suite with a kitchen. It really does give some great prep space 👍🏼
Wow so many options and ways to interpret the space to make it more spacious. Keep up the great work your not way off track to finding the most cost effective soulution....
I tried to get my granite fabricator to salvage the cut out from the counter when I remodeled my 50-year-old kitchen. He just did not get it, so it was lost forever. There are a dozen different ways to add handles that would lift or hinge it out of the way. Stick to your guns and maybe you'll get what you want. No regurts! LOL
what company did you get yours build through?
Yes plus she can do the same with the stovetop. Put a cutting board over it.
Girl....keep that sofa. It looks sooo comfortable. A lot of tiny homes have those storage seats that look too high, too short (width of seat for holding your butt) and too uncomfortable. Even if you recover it keep it!
I plan to!
I think if you want to modify the couch here is an idea. instead of just using the cushions, tear out the spring base of the couch and box that in as your wanted storage. visually it will look the same but be more functional for you in the space.
@@lolohunne8327 That's what she said she was going to do in the video.
@@animallovefest143 no what she said she was going to keep the cushions but build a box for the base.(11:05) I am saying to leave the integrity of the couch in tact (meaning the frame and back of the couch )and use that as the base of her box. leaving the arms on both sides as well.
@@lolohunne8327 Yes, I like your idea [better]. It keeps all the goodness while boosting the benefits.
I love the colours and overall style of the decor, and finally, a bedroom that is bigger than a coffin. Most bedrooms in tiny houses are terribly claustrophobic. Here I see she sacrificed the ceiling height downstairs so she can have more space upstairs which is great. She's got plenty of space for a tiny house and a normal sofa. There are sofa beds with storage underneath which are still comfy, but many tiny house owners build benches that don't really look comfy or big enough for proper relaxing.
You need to stop listening to your friends, do and keep what you want!
I love her!! I love her personality! She is so free ! Please do a update on her ! Please !
Yes, finally! Someone else who never uses her dishwasher. Love the house and your use of color. I'd probably halve (vertically) that huge window across from your kitchen so that I could have a long countertop under it. That'd give me a lot more countertop and still have a pretty big window that stretched the whole length of it.
Countertop along the window will still work as is. I like the color of the counter now and would love to see same color on a countertop/table with stools that can fit under so eat and see that great view through the window. Pity you're going to change it😊
Veronica Gonzalez we wash by hand every time as we’ve never had a dishwasher.
Same here. I use mine to store pots and pans😊
I've not used my dishwasher in 21 yrs! I take that back....I use it for Extra cups, dishes, etc.
Veronica Gonzalez Why would you block off half the kitchen window ? That would immediately cut down on the amount of light into the kitchen.
I love the configuration of this Tiny House. It looks spacious and the height of the lofts are not claustrophobic.
I can't wait to see what you will do with the outside area and the changes you have planned for the inside.
Thankyou for showing us your lovely home.
Wow, I like this one a lot. The staircase is my favorite.
Color is so nice
Mine to so decorative!
Mine three. I LOVE those colors! 💖
"If you don't remember you have it, you probably don't need it." This is very deep.
Great review and planning. Good luck with the shoes.
Yeah that made me think alot too

I have been thinking the same. I am getting rid of everything!
Use black pipe for your safety rail. Extra floor padding under your tree house rug can double as sleeping space. Use a storage bench or cedar chest with casters as a kitty litter box that can double as seating at your flip down table. Just cut a pet size hole for cat to access...the lid lifts for easy cleaning. I love, love, love your tiny, well appointed home!
I appreciate that she explained the progression from living in an 1,800 sf house to a 500 sf apartment to a Tiny House.
Also, how she explained not to get rid of stuff all at once. And to wait until you move so you don't toss things you really want to keep.
Very good idea
I love Tiny Homes that keep the owner's personality in the design. Simply beautiful! I would love to see an update video once all the projects are done 💘
I love her home! The design, colors, furniture; pretty much everything. Awesome!
Great house. It has storage and living space. Your artistic flair shows beautifully all over the place.
Oh My God, just seeing this. Would love to see the updates since this is from 2018.
Love the element of surprise. The dark wood exterior is nice, but when you walk through those doors and you are welcome by all of that burst of color and clean angles, light and brightness, it's just joy. It automatically puts you in a great, happy mood.
Love it! Please show us her updates.
I'd love to see an update as well
Me too!
I love the rainbow elements of your design. One of the great things about paint is that it is easy to change if you feel the need!
this is just wow amazing!! i have been binge watching tiny houses for 2 mths and i have to say this is the most welcoming , aesthetically pleasing , functional house i have ever been. LOVE LOVE the collapsible hook above the w machine , the colour scheme ( who knew black ceilling actually doesnt take that much height from the ceiling ). reading thecomments, i believe everyone here would love to see a video on your studio and also video on yourTiny after u have completed all your projects inside. we r just dying to see!!!
I don't agree with all your critics..( minor things obviously..) but love that you are a work in progress and working to improve the setting.. also love your positive attitude, it comes thru.
I absolutely love hearing from someone who's figuring it out as she goes and has her work in progress! She seems so genuine and kind! :)
Jamie Carroll Totally loves herself. 😡😡👎👎
@@gracepursey2166 no she does not! Very well organized, tasteful in what she does, knows what she wants and needs, resourceful .... the list can go on. Jealous ?!
What an absolutely stunning house, and such a great tour as she talked about everything in the house -- why she bought it, what she uses it for, what it hides etc. Really really enjoyed this. Thanks, Jody!! And good luck with living in the house. I'm sure you will be there for many years. You couldn't ask for anything prettier or nicer :)

I love that she shows her own style when decorating her tiny house; it is so beautiful!
Getting rid of the sofa would be a mistake. 1. nothing will be as comfortable; Foam does not come close. 2. In the spirit of downsizing, here you are, already planning on how to create more storage to have more stuff.
Honestly there has to be something in your life that is not a compromise at all, whereas comfort is concerned. A very comfortable mattress and a very comfortable place to sit are hands down vital. 1 luxurious thing is more than 10 compromised things.
she's going to use the same cushions and the same couch, she's just changing the base of the couch which will have minimal effect on comfort
@@sketchybackroundkid Glad to hear that. Small living should be about making sure that the few things you have are the most comfortable.
I had to move my daughter home as she was diagnosed with MS and needs lots of support. I created a self contained unit in my loft for her. One suggestion my builder made which has worked brilliantly is cutting boards that fit directly into the sink and over the hob, increasing counter spice. They slide sideways when the sink/hub are being used and cost very little to make.
Beautiful home. Spot on with the color you painted your kitchen cupboards. Please make another video a year from now. Would love to see all your updates.
Happy New Year!! ☆♡☆♡
I like how she grew out her dyed hair. Love it
that's the prettiest tiny house ever.😁
Hands down, this is the best tiny house I've ever seen. Beautiful, functional, and spacious. LOVE the big windows and all the light. I like the realistic take Jody has of downsizing, and that she's able to admit it's not easy. This is a great tour, thank you Jody!!
There's something really funny about "I don't love to cook" but then mentioning you Le Creuset dishes! Mostly because I'm the same way
I noticed that as well..the most expensive cooking pieces you can buy
I commented on that too! But I think It s Just a question of being able to understand and of course afford good stuff!
If she cooks she likes quality. And it’s long-lasting and therefore suistainable!
One can make a very unfancy stew, chilli, soup... on very low heat as the cookware retains so much, convecting back into the food from all sides. So less propane usage wasted into her space.
Money makes all things possible--even tiny house creative ideas!
Don't get rid of the sofa! So comfy looking
She's re-purposing it.
Jody is a delight. It’s been a few years now- would love to see the progress she has made and hear about tiny living during COVID. Thanks for sharing.
I'm a historian. My favorite period is 1830's American West. So I found a 900 sq ft house that I close down to 600 in the winter. I decorated it with memorabilia from the 1830's. I live what history taught me is a pioneer life. That's the point. Material needs are minimal. Store bought is minimal. Like then no banks in my life, no credit cards, not even a debit card. I have a checking account to clear my social security payment thru. In one corner I have a desk top computer to look out at the world and laugh at the insanity. Retired comfortably on 750 a month income. Pioneer lifestyle is cheap.
Do u have pix? I also have no bank, cards, etc. And am also a throback. Do u have septic? R u gardening, canning, etc. Do u have utilities and running water? Sorry to ask so many queations. Maybe we could compare.
Old Wisdom where do you live? Pretty inexpensive but great for you!
It's a remote island in North America, away from the maddening crowd.
I live in a water shed area so I have a holding tank. A well that has water clear as gin. I am a spiritualist and it is that guidance that brought me to this acre of heaven on Earth.
Once you understand what I call 'functional spirituality' It's based on the fact that 9 tenths of your brain functions in the subconscious. The world has a room service component to it that will manifest the reality you want or don't want depending on how you approach it. I'll consider your request, why should I be the only one living in heaven on Earth. I went from crippled , going blind and homeless to living with no debt on a private island and drive a rare exotic automobile when I leave the place. It looks like heaven to me.
Agree with the comments I have read. This woman's honesty and reflections were really refreshing and fun to listen to. She is clearly a thoughtful person and has created a lovely home and lifestyle. I wish her blessings and many years of happiness in her tiny!
Omg!!! Your home is gorgeous!!!👠👠👠
So refrershing to see a tiny houses with a decent comfy sofa! 👌
What a gorgeous home! Love your aesthetic--eclectic and funky.
I wouldn't change much either. Love the colors and your life philosophy.
Definitely a great example of how the TH philosophy can be customized for each person.
Thanks for this tour, Jody and THT!
Me and my husband have a small home not so tiny. It's a 24' by 48' foot home. We are off grid we live on 5 acres, we have solar power and a wood burning stove. We love it.
I love love your tiny house! You did an excellent job of presenting it!
Just started becoming obsessed with watching the tiny houses. Where cm I see more of this one? My favorite so far. Love the artistic style. 💕🧡💙💜💛
On of the best Tiny houses I've seen

Please do a follow up video with her 💖
I love everything about this tiny house. So refreshing to have colour instead of varnished wood. Have a great life in your beautiful new home. Thanks for sharing.
Would love to see a follow up to this when everything is finalized. Also, why not lose the microwave and build a pull down shelf for your toaster oven? I want to see humpty in the dark too!
That would have the feature of enhanced safety besides the obvious points of convenience of use and less adjustment to the location [compared with making a spot in the closet].
Would agree there Charlotte...Jody has an amazing home and to see her progress would be great...hey Jody how's about it hun?? 😁
Charlotte T. Smith Try an air fryer, too. I use mine all the time. I don´t have a microwave
I haven't had a microwave in 20 years & don't miss it at all! I have a toaster oven also. ;))
Charlotte T. Smith - Oh, yes - please, a follow up. Want to see her art studio when finished and most especially her yard areas!!! I really love this model.
Absolutely LOVE her design and colors!! Brings life to this tiny home! One day soon.... 🦋🦋🦋
I am happy to see the positive comments on this video. I love her Tiny Home and it is cool to see how she has decorated it. It would be interesting to see what she has kept after a full year. Great video Chris.
I love the classic telephones in all the primary colors, Wow , such a cute home ! Your aesthetics for design are very much like mine, thank you for sharing ;)
Kate Arnoldy FYI -Red, yellow, and blue = primary colors.
I like the phones, too!
@@doloresreynolds8145 I must be colorblind , thank you for pointing that out to me Karen 👍🤣🤣🤣
I also like the piece of scrap metal. It's really a piece of art.
Love your tiny house! It looks so roomy and the large windows are amazing and let a lot of natural light in
Beautiful!😀
Next to the sink, you could add a flip up counter top. It won’t interfere with the stairs, but be popped up when you need extra space. I find flip up counter tops to be very efficient!
The table in the living room does match
Congratulations on your new House! I really like this house and the amount of work and good taste put in it. Tiny can come in many versions. It doesn't need to be DIY at any cost, especially if you have no building skill. I think that the owner is lovely and is able to make her own decision. Sometimes you need to put other people's opinions apart and go for what you really need for your happiness and of course, what you can afford according to your finances. If you still need to pay workers, even a DIY can become very expensive before it's finished.
Get a Casper memory foam bed...you will never regret the investment. Good back support, great sleep. This is the future of bedding.
I have one. Best bed I've ever slept on.
aldina PISCATELLI Hawaiian quilts
THAT USE OF THE CANOPY BED AS A KITCHEN IS GENIUS x 2 would make a great outdoor kabana would love to see part 2
love the Japanese burning of the wood.....thank you
When I build mine, I will call her "THE SHE SHED". So awesome , just beautiful!!
Jan Hoffman I‘ll name mine Tinas Tiny 🤗
And congrats for the silver hair, like looks great!
I'm ready for this process to be done. LOL
This is the ESCAPE ONE XL for everyone wondering.
388 sq ft
Cheapest model is $70,000
jazzy Del who is the builder?
Full of fun color's and "Lively" just like Jody. This house is amazing.
I love her decorating style aesthetic. I could see myself in her design. Enjoy your space Jody.
I love you tiny house it is beautiful, I want one but with the master bedroom downstairs!! ❤
I love this tiny "home"....and especially the painting going up the stair case. Also, love all the colors...good job. Lets see more as you progress with other areas.
I like it and she’s smart to add as she goes.
Anyone else spending time watching tiny homes while staying in place? This is the 3rd one with so much teal. love it!
By far one of my favorite tiny homes!! I *love* the homey touches of real furniture (instead of modular), the Persian rugs, the artwork, and all the colors. For me the second loft would be my closet and dressing area as one little closet would not work! Beautiful home, lovely lady, great and practical tips. Please post a follow up video when the deck and other projects are done.
It doesn't feel small and lots of storage. Great home.
I love that she went into detail about everything!!
This is one of my FAV tiny homes!!!! I LOVE Your artistically, modern home.☺️
I agree sheer should keep that sofa, unless she can find one like that with storage under it but must be just as comfortable!! As we get older comfort is key!
I must say I really like this tiny home. It has so much room and storage. Thanks for showing this one.
She is a Rock Star ⭐️
I’m living in a 1100 sq foot “mansion” but don’t have a microwave. When we remodeled the kitchen did not include a microwave. I cook all the time and haven’t missed it at all!
Your home is very inviting. Love all the natural light with the wonderful windows. I too would enjoy seeing how your space progresses so hopefully you’ll take others opinions expressed in sharing as you go along.
Yes had to heat tortillas finally someone admitted it!!!
Michael Blakey yep!! Bcuz pans and grills take too long 🤨😑
Excellent! This is so livable and warm and cozy at the same time
I feel everything is working in your tiny home Beautifully
I love the colors she did. This is one of my favorite tiny homes so far.
Great video! Lovely tiny with lots of storage ideas. The land use...wow!
Love it! I am in the process myself from a 2800+ sq.ft. To my current apartment 480 sq.ft. To a form of a tiny home 2 years of saving and downsizing. I love the bright and colorful space!
I like the thought of not shopping retail at all. I try to buy used when I can. Gorgeous tiny home! I love my tiny home on wheels so I can change my view whenever I want.
I love the shade of blue used on the kitchen cabinets and the fact there are lots of big windows.
The short ceiling in the bedroom would just be a deal-breaker for me. I like the tiny house idea, but I cannot live with that short ceiling.
You may want to check out these designs: timbercrafttinyhomes.com/
I debated with myself for a couple years before choosing to go with an Escape One XL (in this video). The pricing and modern exterior was just better fir for me... but Timbercraft makes some absolutely lovely homes with standing space bedrooms on gooseneck trailers.
I like it that her dishes are SQUARE. I’ve always liked the square shape from a design perspective, but in a tiny house, with space at a premium, the square FITS and utilizes every SQUARE inch of available space. So... what a great choice!
Beautiful house. I love the colours inside. It’s extremely roomy 😊
Keep that comfy sofa. Don’t you DARE let that go. Even the color goes with your ceiling. Love your colors choice. You got a great eye!!!!
Love the decor of your house. Love love it!! I also love being surrounded by beautiful things and your home is beautiful.
Omg I’ve been looking for this one it’s one of the best layouts: multiple rooms, Feels huge has a great flow.
I've seen plenty of tiny houses and this one is my favorite by far. Beautiful yet practical.
Extremely cute cozy and functional
Basically consumerism but on tiny scaled
Lovey place to call home .
OMG, this is the most gorgeous tiny home i've ever watch
This might be the best tiny house I’ve seen. I love how she utilizes all of her space!
I just love this and your style.
I love the colors! The stairs, the cushions, the rugs... wow
I absolutely LOVE the colors you've 'splashed' your tiny house with. Looking for ward to 'touring' your studio once you get it up and 'running.' Thanks for sharing, Jody. HAPPY NEW YEAR. :-D
Everything is very nice. I love the layout. It is all so cozy looking.You have a wonderful home!!
I want to see the outside when it is finished. I really enjoyed this. One of my top favorite tiny houses. 👏🏻❤️
Very livable and I love the colors - a relaxed approach to transitioning is pragmatic. You can always make changes later on.
This tiny home is soooo beautiful. I love her stairs!!!! And she is so precious.
I've watched a LOT of tiny house videos and the is by far the one i like the most
