VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Vicki is a retired massage therapist that took ten years to downsize from an 1800 sq ft home to 650, then 450, and now less than 200 sq ft. Her 8 1/2 ft wide tiny house has ten massive windows allowing natural light to accent the handmade crafts and local artwork that decorate her interior.
This tiny home has a quaint kitchen with a farmhouse sink, convection stovetop, a full fridge, and a lazy susan that allows easy access to the deep cabinet spaces. The bathroom serves its purpose with a toilet, small sink, and 32" shower. She has a washer/dryer combo stored under the stairs that lead up to an adorable loft. The upstairs area has a full bed and some storage but primarily acts as her puppy's palace.
The outside is Vicki's favorite spot as there's a deck built overlooking a gorgeous view! Her outdoor shower faces nothing but the birds and completes the entire feel of a tiny home in nature.

Please show another video when the guest room is done. You should make the new guest room into your bedroom & make the upstair's bedroom into a guest room! Love how you decorate!👏🤗
She is the first honest tiny living person I’ve seen! She tells you exactly what it’s live and doesn’t sugar coat it.
I absolutely got some amazing advice from her! No loft bed cause changing sheets is bad. ventilation on bathroom: very important. Stair storage with covers: got it. A nice deck with an outside shower? AMAZING I love your advice!!
and you have to scoot around on your knees when going to bed or when waking up. kneeling is ok if its carpeted. I noticed her loft was bare floor. Ouch! Bad on the knees
With that addition if that was me I'd make that my bedroom vs the loft. If you are only having guests every once in awhile let them use the smaller loft space instead and if you have someone who can't use the stairs then do a switcheroo for their visit. Jasper is a cutie and I LOVE that outdoor space.
Agree about the loft !
I love how practical and real she is about tiny house living.
I want her to organize my life.
Lovely home and lady. And, her dog brings her the best company no doubt, three dog beds are well worth the unconditional love. Though, I believe if I were her, I would take the new bedroom being built, as she said she doesn't overly enjoy the loft and would have changed that if she had it to do over again. Guests could take the loft, as they wouldn't be living in it full time, and she could enjoy a larger room on the ground level. Gorgeous surroundings, and deck. She's living her joy!
This is one of my favorites because the bathroom & kitchen are NOT side-by-side. In my world those are two rooms that should NEVER be in close proximity to each other.
I love that she’s lived in her tiny home for a while and found things that didn’t work out or needed to be added.
Hello how are you doing???
Yes... rather than ppl who've been in their's for 3months.
I love the frankness about what works and what doesn’t.
Hello how are you doing????
@@carlokeshawn477 I'm doing good
Would like to see a re visit when the construction is complete
I love that you’re adding the extra room on the ground floor. That way when you’re ready to stop sleeping in the loft, you can move into that more easily accessible room. 👍
Smart.
Hello how are you doing???
@@missylearned9821 hello how are you doing????
What a beautiful tiny home. I agree, she may one day decide to take that bedroom addition for herself.
Hello how are you doing????
Thank you for saying what you would do differently, that is SO helpful! 🌸
Hands down, this is my favorite tiny house. She is so sensible. The small cooktop that is portable is great. Focusing so much on storage.....wonderful storage!
I down sized the same way: 1,300 SQ ft, to 650, to 278, and now 180 SQ ft. I only kept the things I truly love and also gave everything else away. It was so freeing. You've made a beautiful home for you and Jasper!
Because this isn’t working for everyone, take your time is decide what is best FOR YOU. Simple isn’t always that simple. Listen to her. It takes TIME.
Nice setup, like the porch to sit and relax, thank you for sharing your home..
She doesn't talk about cost. People need this info.
No, you don't *need* this info. Why do people think they're entitled to know another's finances? This lady chose to share a part of her life with the rest of us. It's her choice. Respect it.
@@AmandaATXo.o i agree. Also there's the Fact that every state has different prices.
You can't give a price because the house is specific to her needs/wants. Yours would be different. Everything is factored in from choices in flooring, wall, bathroom fixtures, kitchen fixtures etc.
@@cathyhill2965 approximate estimates
Beautiful and yes I would like to find a plan with the bedroom down stairs. Not crawling on my knees any more. Gotta have a huge out door space is my thing. Really good storage. May you find your bliss
Hello
@@carlokeshawn477 hi.
Lots of good points about living tiny. I once lived in 375 square foot studio(all one level). This video has all the cubbies for shoes, hats,scarves.... everything tiny
Hello how are you doing????
Love your tiny house with outdoor shower and deck! I love your minimalist Scandi-designed kitchen, and living room. It looks like a great place to retire! I'm still working at 67 and rent an apartment but dream of owning a tiny house someday. Thanks for sharing your lovely home. Jenny
Absolutely love you disposition and attitude regarding living tiny. Would love to be your tiny house neighbor. Continue to enjoy your not so tiny house and move into the larger room you and Jasper can use the space.
This is a great home, it's the additional room that did it for me. I like first floor bedroom, and it's big enough. Perfect without having to get rid of meaningful items, decorations, or clothes. This home when construction is complete is perfect for 1 or 2 people. Enjoy🎉
Truth always is appreciated . You have a peaceful life now. The nice thing about aging is stuff will change. Dogs ,life, future goes forward. When you get to an age, things become more important than “things”. An out door bath is an amazing thing. Been there and done that.😀😀😀
Hello how are you doing????
Want to see a revisit too. Thanks 💚👍
Hello
I wish she had explained how she found the property. Does she own the land? How large is the lot? How much work is it to maintain it? Is this a tiny home community? The drone shot didn't show anyone near her.
Hello how are you doing????
Lovely home and person! Great idea to add that extra room for one level living since they don't intend to move it.
Hello how are you doing??
Very nice home ! Difficult to make you bed regarding the sheets ? Just sew them together and use like a sleeping bag, no need to tuck in and just smooth them out when you get up !
You mean sew on 3 sides or just on bottom?
This is so clever! TY
@@barrez9307 Sew 2 sides together and bottom to make a bag - I use when I go camping as a liner in my sleeping bag . Easy to take out and wash , and keeps the sleeping bag clean !
@@reddyman6915 Great idea!
I love her Alaskan accent ya'll.
From all the tiny houses i had seen your is what I love the most
Wow! What a lovely lady! I’d easily move into her tiny home, perfect spot. X
I never noticed the knee slapping, so I played some of the video back and....YES, she does a lot of knee slapping! Thanks for pointing that out! Lovely house and nice lady, and her doggie is so cute!
I can't finish the video now. The knee slapping is driving me nuts.
Good grief, are you and the few others commenting on this trolls, can’t you be kind!
@@markbrown2296 Good grief, are you and the few others commenting on this trolls, can’t you be kind!
@@greeneyedgirlina I'm a hungry troll! Feed me!
She needs a working fan in her indoor bathroom. That's why she's getting high humidity in her house. Also a fan above where she's cooking would help. And the title is wrong, this isn't Alaska!
Alaskan tiny house. Not the tiny house in Alaska. Just like you have an Oriental rug or China's kitchenware, etc ..
@@HangTran-kv4rx yes totally “Alaskan”.... that whole shed roof design on a tiny house with wood elements is 100% Alaskan... No, it’s called RUSTIC! It’s a typo, bud.
Any small space is going to have condensation issues, it’s common with tiny’s. Most have to use humidifiers unless they install an air exchange/exhaust system (HRV or ERV). The bathroom fan should really be humidity sensory that self modulates.
Tip- I have installed the Panasonic Whisper (Humidity Sensing) in my bathroom, it’s only $80. I will also be installing 2 exhaust fans in my “cabin/tiny” ☝️ one downstairs and one up top in my loft. They both are automatic, have temp settings and humidity controls, I like the AC infinity options the most but I’d like a stronger CFM so I’m still debating.
I was like Chattanooga is nearby...? Wait... 🤨
@@loduke3905 Uh, Alaska has a lot of Rustic! Timber framing, cabins, etc. There's many design themes that include Rustic elements... Bottom line, if they got their inspiration from something they saw in Alaska, then that's giving credit to the source and perfectly valid... Just like Scandinavian designs, etc., which can also be mixed and matched as designs don't have to be purely from one source or include all design elements from one source. Like a modern farm house design mixes modern and old farm house elements.
Besides, there's examples like Ana White's 2 Tiny house builds that people have been drawing inspiration from for years. So this isn't something new...
The title is still misleading!
Very nice! Love your colors & the design. ❤️
My ears perked up when you mentioned TN & NC. I’m in N E GA & can be in Chattanooga in abt 1 1/2 hrs. I do have some pottery from Clarkesville, GA, Mark of the Potter.
At my age, a loft wouldn’t be practical. I live alone & I’m so tired of “stuff”. I’ve been slowly donating & clearing out my 1700 SF.
I’ll check out Wind River.
Thanks for the tour!
I would much rather have a downstairs bedroom and a proper oven, keep less clothing, and use the loft for storage. But that's me. One thing that makes tiny house videos fascinating is the way people prioritize in very limited space. Gets you thinking about what's really important.
Hello how are you doing????
Lovely lady and lovely house. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hello how are you doing????
I LOVE IT! Our tastes are so similar. With those windows I'd absolutely have my plants! I'd also wrap that porch all the way around. Especially if i was in Alaska. And Id screen it in too. That outdoor shower is amazing. A ballpark guesstimate and where or who built this would be nice to know also.😉 Thanks for sharing.
She is not in Alaska! She is near Chattanooga, Tennessee!
@@sandrabaker5930 Another beautiful place! Makes a little more sense having an outdoor shower there too...lol😁. Im in NC myself and an outside shower would be a dream. (And a screen for that porch.😉)
Absolutely love your home other than the washer combo I prefer washer and dryer
Pls have a new follow up video once the extention of the tiny house complete. This is not a common project as most tiny house owner will built 1 for all n do not do any extension guest room n her beautiful outdoor deck is huge with outdoor shower n gated. I love to see once everything completed.
Hello
I’m sorry but those saying “It’s an Alaskan STYLE house”.... naw babe it’s a typical shed roof design tiny with an add on. It’s “RUSTIC” or a modern cabin. Honestly think they messed up the title BUT either way it’s a beautiful home and she seems extremely happy and proud of it. I like her, she’s got that good ole country girl accent (South Carolina girl here 🤛🏻) and seems adventurous while being laid back at the same time.
Thank you for sharing your home.
Great video. She is so stinking cute. So precious.
What a lovely place to live.
Very nice ma’am. Love the closets. And the open shelves are nice but if they are going to install a banister have then add the doors. Love the shoe storage and your honesty of things that function and don’t function. 😊
Loved this tiny house!!! We custom built our own house (not tiny), and there are always regrets. Why didn't I put a plug here? Why did I not do that? I would make the bedroom addition MY bedroom and let the son have the loft when he visits. Also, if the weather is mild enough where she is, why not relocate a W/D out on the deck or in the new bedroom?
Hello how are you doing????
I was thinking the same about the new bedroom addition.
This is so cute. I bet the addition will be fabulous.
I like how honest she is in sharing her likes and dislikes and what she would do differently.
I love it. But I do find the stairs scary without a rail. Dogs have a habit of getting under your feet.
I'm late seeing this video, so I'm not sure if the person with this tiny home will see my comment but if she does, I just wanted to say one of her art pieces is so beautiful and unique. When she said she like the clean lines and minimalistic Nordic design, then I instantly saw an art piece near her kitchen that looks to me, like trees, but the tree trunks are ancient Nordic runes. Very nice. Very clever. I love it. So i truly hope she sees this msg even though it's so long after this video was released.
Nice to see pets as part of tiny house living.
What a lovely place and what a lovely lady ❤ Made me smile a lot because it seems, she doesn't really want to downsize but hey, it's her life, her home and her happiness. Best wishes from Bavaria 🙋🏻♀
I would definitely move into the addition, it could be your on suite.
Hello how are you doing????
I'd move into the new bedroom, myself. Your son can sleep in the loft. 😉
Absolutely!
I thought that was her plan... if not def should be!
Definitely take the addition!
That's her plan. You know she would not lose a closet to give him one when he only visits and does not live there. She also said the loft was hard on her because of being her age
@@melvawages7143 As I recall, she called it the " guest room" when she was showing the space. Either way, it's going to be a wonderful space.
Very nice! I really like your addition, Deck and views.
This lady must live somewhere near me! I’d like to know more about her community. I love her house and the add-on is great. I’d love a follow up video.
Hello how are you doing????
I am definately going to look into a tiny 🏡 for my retirement in the next 15 months.. Thank you for sharing.
Nice, I know how you feel I just moved from a 1800 square foot home to a 600 square foot tiny house and i love it , i also gave alot of stuff away also Tfs😊
Absolutely Adorable 🥰
I'm always mystified by people who really want to know the price tag. Since this is a custom build, giving a cost for a house unique to her would help others how? Frankly, I don't feel like it's anyone else's business. If you want to go that route, contact a builder you like and get a quote of your own.
Wow what a precious little attitude you have.. have you ever considered it gives people a guide to what they can build for the money they have...what a immature comment
I like to know base price. The rest is personal (custom costs $$) I absolutely love the Canadian company Minimaliste that builds modern homes but, I cannot afford them so I look for other cheaper companies, get a base price and know I don't have to do it all at once (can add as I live and learn what I need.)
The base price is important as is land vs community. I love her views and privacy but, fear needing help or an ambulance out so far.
Hello how are you doing????
@@thinking102 Hello how are you doing????
I like her. Love deck and outside shower and new addition. Love location.
Smart design...details...excellent
Very pretty/well planned home!
It. Looks so vast and painfully lonely looking past the deck. 😔 I would also hate not being able to stand up in my bedroom. Showering in the winter winds?? 😩. No bathtub? 😭 So glad she has a son that can visit.
Hello dee
Lovely home and very honest review. thank you.
Hello
We loved the tour of your home. It's really nice! Thanks for uploading this video.
Hello
you can use the guest space as your bedroom as you get older and don't want to go up the stairs
Lovely! Really liked the clothes closet and not having to look up high to watch TV.
AS she ages she won't want to do those steps. I would love into the new addition. Maybe put in a bed that you could raise up and down.
Chris, been following since the 'Chris and G Travels' days, and I remember that one video where you said the channel was gonna go in a different direction. Congratulations on that decision! It certainly was brilliant and paid off! Now you can still travel making these great videos.
Really like, and this person’s outlook
Well done. Nice dog. Good video. Thanks.
😄👍
I love your home! Thanks for posting the video! Wondering if you might tell me what brand of dehumidifier you have? I’m making a tiny home part of my retirement plan and trying to plan ahead. Thanks so much!
Yes l would like to see a revisit, l hope that new room is a bedroom. I am probably her age and climbing those stairs would be to difficult for me. Lol, beautiful place.
Right on!
Hello
Why does this say Alaska this is obviously Tennessee.
I love the home! Almost what I'm wanting. What bothers me is how it seems like Jasper took over half the house. I've been a little perplexed by her comments on how much space one dog takes. Ah well...the house is amazing plus I like the porch & outdoor shower. 💜
She said Jasper is her son!
Hello
Hi was looking at your balcony and i seen a tiny home that has curtains on the balcony if you interested . u can utube it called "after loosing everything in an earthquake" tiny home. just thought you would like to see how she decorated her balcony. cheers mal
Very nice. Great setup.
What's the size of this? I got the width is 8.5, but what is thr lrnght and the height? Thank's in advance!
V lovely home well planned n built with all features. V spacious n clean
Wow Amazing Video I Love It's Looks Beautiful Tiny House She Very Lucky
Amazing tiny scandinavian house well done :3
May I ask why are you holding your dogs leach inside?
Love your home, it's very nice and the area looks nice too and l love your accent it's so Southern.
Hello
I’m confused about the location of this tiny home. The title of this episode says Retired woman and her beautiful Alaskan tiny home” but beginning at the 5:15 mark she talks about the builder, Wind River, and says “…..they are in Chattanooga [Tennessee], which is close to this….” A few other times she mentions Chattanooga or Tennessee or South Carolina, so I think she is in Tennessee, not Alaska. If she lived In Alaska, I also think she’d have a wood stove somewhere and much bigger trees in the background. On the Wind River Tiny Homes website, you can get an idea of price for those of us interested in that. However, not sure if those prices are current being lumber has skyrocketed this year.
Hmm I'm also confused.
It’s an Alaskan style home
@@archiesgmarshall in what way, the shed roof? I’ve never heard this type of house or tiny house referred to as an Alaskan type.
@@greeneyedgirlina hello
How can I find info on the food service that was mentioned? I’ve been looking for options and I’d love some input on that. Thanks.
Wow, I was raised in Chattanooga, Tn. Living in Dayton , Tn. Now, but I didn't know we had a tiny home business in Chattanooga.
Love your home. Beautiful
Awesome home & she's great !!!
Such contentment!
I love real-life tiny home living as opposed to the new-wave mini-mansion approach.
I want too
Beautiful house you've got
Hello
Your son should have the loft. At some point you will be sleeping on the couch we are getting older. You need to be able to stand in your bedroom .
I like the moon in the new shower!
Hello noonie
Alaska? Or Tennessee?
I was confused about this too. I would love a tiny in Alaska near my grandchildren. I also love TN :D
It is a challenge for me so far to see where I can place a tiny.
Think l would want a cottage instead..
Tiny houses. The time has come .
Hate eeiiling is. Gorgeous ,
Very nice home. I would live there also till they carried me out.
Love the home!! Love Alaska, my birthplace:)
Hello how are you doing????
Dogs have lots of stuff- truer words were never spoken.
