@@susannam.9300 lol cause it's what we can afford. My apartment is smaller than this and I do just fine. If love to have that much space in my bathroom tho 😂 I know theirs is super tiny to some but its bigger than mine
@@mircat28 I think if she plans on co-sleeping she could totally make it work.

@@katherinel4987 When I was homeless my parents told me to go to the catholic church to get help. (I was evicted illegally by our millionaire landlord). I ended up living in my broken down car for almost two years in my aunt's back yard where we pay rent. I also have a serious autoimmune disease. Me and my partner have been working on our own tiny home so I will never have to rent again. What I have I own. We are already taking our landlord to court. Nice to have parents who help and care.
@@katherinel4987 There’s nothing wrong with living on your parents property. The parents want to help out and can make their own choice. Also, art and music degrees are extremely expensive nowadays, so I don’t blame them. To each their own, some people don’t want to be in a large house.
I love small living, but it's been two years out, so I'm curious as to where their now small toddler is sleeping. I hope they were able to keep it and manage a space for the baby too.
Yes and she is pregnant how will she climb up Nd down and crawl later on third trimester Ground floor works well though bedroom space needs standing space atleast
Ok lol then you continue paying rent or a mortgage payment financial freedom is the best thing why pay 12k or more a year when you could spend 17k to build this and it’s paid off then you could invest your money and have a constant cash flow coming in for life
What simple life? You need to first have terrain, all the permissions to build and then build the whole home. Which is frequent far from cities and utilities. I think that people glamorize certain life styles due to this sugar coated youtube videos.
@@LittleChell94 Yes. Sometimes it is not so simple to get a simple life! 😉 This is a good situation to be on a relative's or friend's property with their house already built there. A shed remake is a fairly easy build and utilities are available usually. Most places have a town nearby. Permits are probably the trickiest depending on location and tax concerns for the property owner if the house is not on wheels ( that is also getting looked into by towns lately though)
I feel like if the ceiling on the bottom floor was lower then they could probably stand up on the second floor. Not being able to stand up is a deal breaker for me.

@@createdforeden Dear Eden, I'd like to give you a piece of advice. It would be better to make a spiral staircase to the loft instead of this one. For you with your sweet baby ( I'm sure he / she is healthy and nice ) it will be much convenient.
@@МаксимПешков-д4ж What they have is good because they can easily keep a toddler from climbing on it by a) putting it up, or b) by adding hinged doors to the bottom section (picture it like two cabinet doors closing over the bottom 4 or 5 steps). I saw that parents did that in their 2 story house boat. A spiral staircase, would allow a toddler to climb to an unsafe height on the outside. In other words, even if a gate blocked the stair access at the bottom, it's still a danger due to places for little hands and feet on the outside.

So as a suggestion, get a small blow up pool for the shower. That way it will fit the space when blown up and can be stored away easily when not in use. Great for bathing little ones.
That's what I did! But I don't live in a tiny house lol they're just super practical, and you can find them in the baby area of target and walmart, easy to get.

So sweet. Brings back so many memories for me. 20 years ago, when my husband and I were expecting our first child, we renovated a 750 sq. foot space for the three of us in an upper floor of his mom's house. It was a version of a "tiny" house 20 years ago. We had a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. Our son's crib was in our room. We had everything we needed in 750 sq. feet. But by the time our second child arrived, her cradle was in the living room, and we knew our time was short-lived. Eventually we had to move our family of 3 children into a 1475 sq. foot house, which we have now also outgrown as our children are young adults and each need a bedroom of their own (we have 3 bedrooms) ... but I love looking back at our "beginnings." At the time my friends who were having babies had big, beautiful nurseries to decorate and I felt a little left out, setting up a crib in our bedroom ... none of my babies had a nursery. But we have a beautiful and loving family and 20 years later, lots and lots of thankfulness. Congratulations, best wishes, and keep living your best life!
Wow. I've been to England but obviously I wasn't staying or even going into people's homes. The majority of the houses on my street are around 4000 sq ft. My town's average is probably 3k. You can't legally build a house in our county without 2 acres. I loved how the English all had little gardens, even if it was just a few window boxes and pots on the porch.
I really like the way it is organized , very functional . Don't worry about the neysayers regarding your baby ... Most mama bears don't want to be far from their babies anyway .. You will be fine . It's amazing how little space one needs to be content .. You seem very content to me . Congrats !
Totally!! We were living in a small flat (probably not much bigger than this house), I had a bad back and the baby was awake every 2 hours for the boob so we just co-slept most of the time. They will be absolutely fine in there. When I was pregnant and freaking out about what I need for my baby and how I should parent, someone told me: "You just need to love him." And there's nothing truer than that.
@@parristraylor She said that she will be sleeping downstairs on the couch for however long she needs to. I've been there and it sucks. You start to miss your own bed and sleeping with your boyfriend/husband.
It’s rare you see people actually moving around and into their tiny home spaces. So often they cut out the awkward clicking of the ladder or walking around on your knees in the loft and just make it look so easy starting in each location. This was super realistic, thank you! Loved jt
That was my thought. Probably fine for a starter home, but once that kid gets old enough to fall off those steps... or wants it’s own space to play, it’s done
i know, hopefully they have plans to move when the child gets older bc could you imagine a preteen or teenager living in such close proximity with their parents all the time... they would go insa.]ne..
Wow so cool! Such a blessing your parents let you stay in their backyard, it’s so hard to find land. And it’s a beautiful home ! Congratulations on the growth of your family !
I watched a tiny house show on Netflix, but this is my favorite tiny house I’ve ever seen. It is practical and beautiful! I love all the natural light ❤️
The two rooms downstairs look just like any other small home! Having the loft as a bedroom is the downside of having a tiny home for some people, but hey, while you’re young, what a great house! Beautiful home. I’m so happy for them.
You could certainly move things around in your closet and have baby in there. Our baby sleeps in a ‘snuggle me organic’ and wherever we move it around she feels like it’s her bed and is comfortable. You could do a floor bed or something in the closet after those first few newborn weeks when you’re ready to really settle in.
Most roomy and sensible tiny house I have seen. I love that you have adequate storage and closets upstairs. The FULL kitchen is lovely. I like the large living room.
I have been wanting to build myself a tiny home, possibly off-the-grid, and maybe homestead. I got divorced in 2015 and I want to eventually create an easily manageable lifestyle with as few financial worries as possible-- like everything would be paid for, no utilities plus I would homestead and work out of my home. When I first became divorced, I was unemployed at that time and wound up homeless on a few different occasions. I lived without power for over a year and had trouble keeping myself fed. So I believe my desire to live simply and not have massive debts to pay, stems from that experience. I actually love tiny homes. It is just me, my dog and cat (no kids or hubby) so a tiny home where I can homestead, have a fully equipped living space and work out of my house would be totally ideal for me.
Good luck on your journey! As she pointed out, Ikea makes a ton of great stuff for tiny house living. I actually visited one for the first time this year before the pandemic hit, and they had a mock-up of a 280-ish sq ft tiny house with all their products that you could walk through and get inspiration from. I live in a 500 sq ft apartment myself, and am saving so I can do some furnishing renovation with items from Ikea. I'd definitely recommend giving them a look for when you do make your tiny house.
I love the space! It’s nice to not feel claustrophobic like upstairs. Nice that you are close to your parents too! It’s amazing when you realize how little of things you need!
Awesome tiny house; functional, cute, nicely decorated, roomy, light, and I love the high ceilings. You can tell you and your husband have artistic backgrounds. It shows in the beauty of your tiny house. Congratulations to you both on the blooming family. Thank you for sharing your video.
Your house is beautiful! A stationary home (compared to home on wheels) is more my style but I greatly appreciate the tiny living community and those who live intentionally in this way. Thank you for sharing!
When she was turning on the fan in the loft with her back to the railing, I just pictured how off balance I can be right out of bed. It'd be just like me to stumble a couple steps backwards, catch my calves up against those boxes, and go ass over teakettle to my death.
Thank you for the tour. This home exudes warmth and character to me (not many of these "cookie-cutter" style tiny houses do so).Blessings to you and family.
@@createdforeden I'd rather climb up and down a step stool to get cleaning supplies, bowls, towels, anything cold and one-hand-managable than having to do it with a piping hot lasagna. But if it works for you, do you.
@@morrisonsrocks YES. Please consider moving that oven! You can put a cupboard there to make up for storage lost under the counter. The height and the way that door opens look incredibly dangerous and I’d much rather you go through the annoyance of moving it than the physical pain of dropping a hot dish and burning someone.
I ABSOLUTELY love your home!! It's not a house THATS a HOME!! It's a home bc you've made it your own!!By now you have a baby and have celebrated your first Christmas as a family of 3❤️This is the cutest lil house I've ever seen! And bonus it's in your parents BACKYARD!!!! Congratulations 🎉👏 on new baby and Happy New Year❤️
Loved the tour. I do like all the natural light you get. So tidy and organized. You have all the essentials. Makes me realize how little we do need to live and be happy!
It's nice to see a tiny home video of someone who has lived in the place longer term! A lot of videos I've seen they haven't even lived there a year lol
I agree... putting the cradle under the stairs is NOT the best idea - when the baby wakes up at night and cries you always have to get downstairs...might be stressful, even dangerous when you're sleepy and it's dark 🤷♀️ But the house is very cute, might get soon too small though once the child grows up.
I love watching tiny houses videos, i get so inspired! Once i settle down i want a tiny house. I am a nomad, i have little stuff and a tiny house would fit me perfectly! Love this kitchen!
love the layout - the bedroom loft with the closet behind the bed wall is a very clever design, also the kitchen is great!! Good job on the house and congrats on the little one on the way!!!
This brings back memories... I grew up in 400 square foot (38 square meters) one bedroom studio apartment in Poland. It was just one room for the 6 of us (4 kids and parents). I moved to England at 19 and was so happy to have my own space and privacy! Now at 31 I live in Canada in 2000 square foot house with my boyfriend. There is no way I would ever want to live in that small of a space ever again, not sure why this video was suggested to me! 😂
Maybe it wasn’t by accident but to remind you of the true values in life. There’s a big difference between living with five other people vs. one other person. Also, when you grow up without much money, it’s easy to make earning money and having a lot of stuff very important in life. But it’s a reaction to the extreme situation that led you to think that way. When you choose simple living, you don’t feel forced. You want the freedom of simplicity vs. working so long and hard for material objects that are temporary.
If it meant I didn’t have a massive mortgage round my neck until I was turned 60, then yes I would certainly crawl around on my knees upstairs, especially in a country where the climate permits, where most of your “living” space will be outside!
@@wazz1154 lol That is understandable, if in fact you live in a climate where it's possible to have most of your living space outside. If you save money (instead of blowing it on stuff you really don't need), you have a down payment large enough so that you can afford a 15 year mortgage instead of a 30 year. Well, that and also not buying a home that is truly outside of your budget.
Instead of renting apartments for years before having our kiddos I would have done this If we would have thought of it lol ☺️ we currently live in a 900sq foot house with 3 kids and one on the way and it’s great!
I am not a tiny house fan, but love watching the ideas and how ppl are creative with making things fit and work. I have to say, by far your house is one of the best!! Really nice with allot of space. The table you bought in the kitchen is a replica from a online store (20+ years ago) Fingerhut. It came with 4 folding chairs that fit in the center. That why they were out of the way, and you could use how many you needed at the time. They weren't built for heavy ppl so you had to watch who sat in them. Great 👍 job..
exactly the toddler can't ever go upstairs because they will fall over that little edge they have cute for a couple but definitely not practical for kids
I live in an RV with 4 kids my husband and a giant poodle…. Our RV doesn’t have the loft. It’s 400 sq feet. We all have space. And it’s not cluttered. If it works for them, it works for them.
Thank you for showing us the storage ideas, and giving the costs for building. It's beautifully decorated and you are an excellent guide. I hope you'll post pictures after the baby arrives.
Watching on my tv when I looked up and saw your bump I got so excited because I am expecting as well . Most people don’t want to live in a tiny home with a baby. Your home is beautiful definitely my version of a dream home.
Intentional living...what a great philosophy! Love your home and how you & your husband have customized so much to meet your unique needs. I'm sure it will be fun to continue to customize & evolve when baby comes. Enjoy & thanks for sharing with us!
Biggest disappointment moving into our current home 😂 it’s huge, 2600sq ft and a little over an acre of land, it’s a SUPER fixer so we got a fantastic deal. However cleaning day to day life and renovation mess for many years is kind of traumatizing 😂😂😂 I’m so thankful for it though 🙏🏼
Amber Keever your house is not that big! Mine is 1800 and I wish it was bigger! Tiny houses are so pretty, most like little cottages, but not for me. Cannot make sense out of a room and closet you have to crawl through.
It depends actually. I live in a tiny house and feel like I'm cleaning all the time! Because it's so small, dirt and dust accumulates much faster because it doesn't get spread out over a larger surface area.
Love your hair and outfit. You look very beautiful! 🤰 Your home is Lovely and everything will work well and fit beautifully when your Baby arrives. Congratulations to you both and best wishes.
Cute tiny house.. you can add on a bedroom to the living room. Big enough for a bed and crib.. then add a railing to the loft bedroom - it can become the baby's once she is 4 or 5 yo.
Gorgeous. Love that you have proper comfy seating in the lounge. I believe you said you’ve been there 3 years so you have everything worked out the way you want it. Really appreciated the list of FAQs, so many forget to give these details. All the best for the arrival of your little one.
LOVE the kitchen!! Such a beautiful space overall! What a cozy & fun world y’all have created to live in and now to share that energy with your first baby. 🙃 Peace and Blessings!
I don’t understand why there are 1.6K thumbs down ratings? I find tiny homes to be really neat! While you’re living in your cookie cutter void of furniture & character McMansion & feeling anxious & depressed bc you’re house broke, these ppl are able to live with less stress & more money & probably enjoy their lives a little more! I think tiny house living is genius! And they have a cute, little abode!
Cute house, we have our children and their families living on our property as well. Its their own space but they are close to visit and be supportive. Great tour!
It's actually not hard when you're used to it. I climb the 8th floor everyday to my apartment with a 8 month belly and it isn't hard cause I'm used to it.
When I was pregnant I was up several times a night to go to the bathroom. I can’t imagine having to turn around to go down the ladder with a big tummy...pee and walk back up until 2 hours later and do it again. It’s hard enough to sleep when you get big without having to totally get awake to use the bathroom. I hope she stays downstairs on the couch till that parts over. With the baby coming, maybe a pull out couch?
It's an ADORABLE PLACE, but the smallness would DRIVE ME NUTS!!!! And I HAVE TO HAVE A BATHTUB!!!! I feel bad for you all when the baby is born. You'll be living over your parents doing laundry!!!! Of course, this Video is now two years old, so I'm hoping you've WORKED EVERYTHING OUT!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Ok but in all seriousness, this is the CUTEST tiny house I have ever seen
I agree
Agreed.

Same, or id forgot and stand up one day and get a concussion.
Yes and she is pregnant how will she climb up Nd down and crawl later on third trimester
Ground floor works well though bedroom space needs standing space atleast
It's actually super healthy to crawl around and not just walk everywhere, so that's fine for the bedroom space.

That’s the bare minimum and an obvious thing to do. Wtf.

So as a suggestion, get a small blow up pool for the shower. That way it will fit the space when blown up and can be stored away easily when not in use. Great for bathing little ones.

They have a sunk
We had a little blow up ducky baby bathtub we used for at least 2 years in the shower too, it was the best $10 investment ever! 🛀
I think when it comes to stuff like this, organization and storage is everything! So cute and efficient.
When they remodeled why didn’t they make the loft higher??
I gotta say...that’s one of the best/most spacious/smartest tiny house closets I’ve ever seen! Well done you guys
I adore the fact that there's a junk drawer. That's real living. It looks average sized!! What a wonderful home. Bravo

Did u get a baby? Is it a baby boy or a baby girl? Sorry, I'm just a curious person
Everyone’s worried about the baby thing, I’m secretly hoping they get a swivel tv mount soon lmao
but they're going to put the crib there... I'm sure they don't want the tv floating above the baby... although I didnt see where they could put it, I guess in the kitchen with the husbands desk since it doubles as his computer monitor...
Alright, I'm not big on advice, but let's go with...no mounting things over the baby's sleeping area 🤗🤣
LOL no pls don’t put a tv above a baby xD swivel TVs are good for saving space though
A swivel mount tv is a good ideal or they could use the space where the table they dont use to put a portable crib
Tv and sleeping baby may be hard.
Protip: make that loft upstairs a baby room and get yourself a hideaway bed couch. That side hallway with the coffee bar can easily become a closet and boom you now have an evening adult space without a crying baby.

Brings back so many memories for me. 20 years ago, when my husband and I were expecting our first child, we renovated a 750 sq. foot space for the three of us in an upper floor of his mom's house. It was a version of a "tiny" house 20 years ago. We had a kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. Our son's crib was in our room. We had everything we needed in 750 sq. feet. But by the time our second child arrived, her cradle was in the living room, and we knew our time was short-lived. Eventually we had to move our family of 3 children into a 1475 sq. foot house, which we have now also outgrown as our children are young adults and each need a bedroom of their own (we have 3 bedrooms) ... but I love looking back at our "beginnings." At the time my friends who were having babies had big, beautiful nurseries to decorate and I felt a little left out, setting up a crib in our bedroom ... none of my babies had a nursery. But we have a beautiful and loving family and 20 years later, lots and lots of thankfulness. Congratulations, best wishes, and keep living your best life!
This girl is adorable. I love her personality.She has wonderful parents.
I couldn't agree MORE!!
That's for sure.
thank you so much!

@@DoctorJ42 lol
i’m gonna build this in the sims i LOVE IT
Exactly what I'm here for lol 😆
😂😂😂
Omg yes
Taking notes ✍️ but there will be no crawling upstairs.
Other than the bedroom space that’s literally the size of most houses in the uk 😂
Its bigger than my house especially the kitchen 😂😂🤦♀️🤦♀️ says alot about the uk if they say this is a small house!
@@shanonjones7513 it's about the same size as my house in Jamaica too the only think is my bedroom is a lil bit bigger
Never experienced a house this small and I have lived in the UK all my life.
@@sarahpayne9629 guess you're one of the lucky ones.
Wow. I've been to England but obviously I wasn't staying or even going into people's homes.
The majority of the houses on my street are around 4000 sq ft. My town's average is probably 3k.
You can't legally build a house in our county without 2 acres.
I loved how the English all had little gardens, even if it was just a few window boxes and pots on the porch.
I just realized my house is smaller than yours and I just thought I was poor (I am), but I'm just gonna be like "I have a tiny house!" from now on 🤣💗
That’s because it’s not that tiny, it’s just a normal sized house 🏠
@@suzie_lovescats girl 450 is not a normal house size. Get over it 🤣
@@unicorndreams8564 It is so you get over it 🤪
Love your comment.
@@suzie_lovescats Pretty sure the average home size in the U.S. is 2,000 square feet...
I really like the way it is organized , very functional . Don't worry about the neysayers regarding your baby ... Most mama bears don't want to be far from their babies anyway .. You will be fine . It's amazing how little space one needs to be content .. You seem very content to me . Congrats !
Totally!! We were living in a small flat (probably not much bigger than this house), I had a bad back and the baby was awake every 2 hours for the boob so we just co-slept most of the time. They will be absolutely fine in there. When I was pregnant and freaking out about what I need for my baby and how I should parent, someone told me: "You just need to love him." And there's nothing truer than that.
Lmao sure
Love the layout of the house. It looks bigger than it is, which I imagine keeps you from feeling claustrophobic. Well done!
Yeah i think the white walls and ceilings help. Thanks for watching!!
It doesn’t seem tiny to me, apart from the loft low ceiling.
I loveeee itttt but I can’t imagine having a baby in there lol. Carrying an infant up and down that ladder just makes me cringe 🥴😩
The size of that home will have her making many babies..
@@debbiemarquis3231 wtf
Not to mention when baby starts crawling and peaking through that tiny barrier in the loft. Im guessing they'll have to change that and the ladder gap
Yeah, that open end of the bedroom will have to be modified, and that ladder...
The bedroom, is what I would not like, but everything else was a 👍
It's spacious for a tiny home. I don't really like a bedroom where i can't stand or walk around but over all, it's a beauty 😍
R u serious?
This house would suck if you’re the type that frequently gets up at night to use the bathroom.
It's going to suck with the crib downstairs too
like me lol
Glad y’all don’t live here so u don’t gota worry
@@brebre461 most babies dont really sleep in their crib for a couple of months anyway
@@parristraylor She said that she will be sleeping downstairs on the couch for however long she needs to. I've been there and it sucks. You start to miss your own bed and sleeping with your boyfriend/husband.
So so cute! Thanks for sharing ✨🤍
Omg haiiii natalieeeeeeee
Thanks!🤍
Haiii omg u watch this too?! Xx
Hello there Natalie ily
Lol Natalie hiiii
It’s rare you see people actually moving around and into their tiny home spaces. So often they cut out the awkward clicking of the ladder or walking around on your knees in the loft and just make it look so easy starting in each location. This was super realistic, thank you! Loved jt
I wonder how long they will live in that tiny house with a baby
That was my thought. Probably fine for a starter home, but once that kid gets old enough to fall off those steps... or wants it’s own space to play, it’s done
i know, hopefully they have plans to move when the child gets older bc could you imagine a preteen or teenager living in such close proximity with their parents all the time... they would go insa.]ne..
They house is perfect for a couple. God love her when the baby comes
@@agapeemenee will do
@@agapeemenee I wanted to know,also thank you.
I check it out.
The house is adorable. You're going to end up sleeping on the couch for the first year of the baby's life.
And most likely the end of the pregnancy.
Lol I literally said the same thing and at the end of the pregnancy.
I do the same and I'm not even pregnant! lol
Sooooooo true!!
Well, that was my thought 😅
When baby comes you could have a sofa bed and crib downstairs and you husband could move his desk area upstairs.
@Alexis Young They could lift it up through kitchen area. In any case, I don't think he would be able to work comfortably up there.
Where are they going pee and shower when the baby sleeps? Maybe if she moves the crib to the kitchen area...
@@fiamedknuff They can't lift it up through the kitchen area
What a sweet and lovely lady. I hope her and family live their lives full of love, joy, peace, and comfort for the rest of their days.
Wow so cool! Such a blessing your parents let you stay in their backyard, it’s so hard to find land. And it’s a beautiful home ! Congratulations on the growth of your family !
Ma'am, your house is to beautiful and cozy... Every inch is used very smartly and beautifully.
Congratulations for the baby.
This house is the size of our first appartment lol. The people that lived in it before us had 3 kids!
shimizimer yeah..our first house was a studio apartment. You enter, and thats the bedroom!
I watched a tiny house show on Netflix, but this is my favorite tiny house I’ve ever seen. It is practical and beautiful! I love all the natural light ❤️
The two rooms downstairs look just like any other small home! Having the loft as a bedroom is the downside of having a tiny home for some people, but hey, while you’re young, what a great house! Beautiful home. I’m so happy for them.
Your house and personality are super cute 😍
Aww thanks so much!:)
You could certainly move things around in your closet and have baby in there. Our baby sleeps in a ‘snuggle me organic’ and wherever we move it around she feels like it’s her bed and is comfortable. You could do a floor bed or something in the closet after those first few newborn weeks when you’re ready to really settle in.
I definetly wanna get a snuggle me organic! Planning on sleeping downstairs for a while and not bringing baby upstairs:)
@@createdforeden Would it be too difficult to add another bedroom downstairs? Doesn't have to be big.
Most roomy and sensible tiny house I have seen. I love that you have adequate storage and closets upstairs. The FULL kitchen is lovely. I like the large living room.
I have been wanting to build myself a tiny home, possibly off-the-grid, and maybe homestead. I got divorced in 2015 and I want to eventually create an easily manageable lifestyle with as few financial worries as possible-- like everything would be paid for, no utilities plus I would homestead and work out of my home. When I first became divorced, I was unemployed at that time and wound up homeless on a few different occasions. I lived without power for over a year and had trouble keeping myself fed. So I believe my desire to live simply and not have massive debts to pay, stems from that experience.
I actually love tiny homes. It is just me, my dog and cat (no kids or hubby) so a tiny home where I can homestead, have a fully equipped living space and work out of my house would be totally ideal for me.
wish you the best!
Good luck on your journey! As she pointed out, Ikea makes a ton of great stuff for tiny house living. I actually visited one for the first time this year before the pandemic hit, and they had a mock-up of a 280-ish sq ft tiny house with all their products that you could walk through and get inspiration from. I live in a 500 sq ft apartment myself, and am saving so I can do some furnishing renovation with items from Ikea. I'd definitely recommend giving them a look for when you do make your tiny house.
I love the space! It’s nice to not feel claustrophobic like upstairs. Nice that you are close to your parents too! It’s amazing when you realize how little of things you need!
Awesome tiny house; functional, cute, nicely decorated, roomy, light, and I love the high ceilings. You can tell you and your husband have artistic backgrounds. It shows in the beauty of your tiny house. Congratulations to you both on the blooming family. Thank you for sharing your video.
Your house is beautiful! A stationary home (compared to home on wheels) is more my style but I greatly appreciate the tiny living community and those who live intentionally in this way.
Thank you for sharing!
If I ever buy a tiny house this is exactly the setup I want
Yes, I love it!!
Your tiny house is lovely. Everything seems bright and spacious for a tiny home. Blessings to you, your family.
I’m torn because I love these tiny houses but am super claustrophobic.
When she was turning on the fan in the loft with her back to the railing, I just pictured how off balance I can be right out of bed. It'd be just like me to stumble a couple steps backwards, catch my calves up against those boxes, and go ass over teakettle to my death.
Same
Yea thats pretty scary. I'm kinda clumsy too
Ur comment made me laugh so hard😂
Thank you for the tour. This home exudes warmth and character to me (not many of these "cookie-cutter" style tiny houses do so).Blessings to you and family.
She's got some major guts. Gotta give her that. & a whole lot of positivity.
I've never seen an elevated oven like that!
yeah! we were going to put it underneath the counter, but didn't want to lose out on the storage. It's not the best thing ever, but it works!
That's because it makes no goddamn sense to do it that way lmao
That seems like an incredibly dangerous place to install it.
@@createdforeden I'd rather climb up and down a step stool to get cleaning supplies, bowls, towels, anything cold and one-hand-managable than having to do it with a piping hot lasagna.
But if it works for you, do you.
@@morrisonsrocks YES. Please consider moving that oven! You can put a cupboard there to make up for storage lost under the counter. The height and the way that door opens look incredibly dangerous and I’d much rather you go through the annoyance of moving it than the physical pain of dropping a hot dish and burning someone.
I ABSOLUTELY love your home!! It's not a house THATS a HOME!! It's a home bc you've made it your own!!By now you have a baby and have celebrated your first Christmas as a family of 3❤️This is the cutest lil house I've ever seen! And bonus it's in your parents BACKYARD!!!! Congratulations 🎉👏 on new baby and Happy New Year❤️
Loved the tour. I do like all the natural light you get. So tidy and organized. You have all the essentials. Makes me realize how little we do need to live and be happy!
It's nice to see a tiny home video of someone who has lived in the place longer term! A lot of videos I've seen they haven't even lived there a year lol
haha yeah. 3 years this December!🤩
It's the cutest, great for a couple. As the baby gets bigger I'm excited to see what you guys come up with.
When I think of a tiny house I imagine basically a shed but this is just like a little proper house! Lovely decor throughout 😊
I’m very impressed with how much storage, and space you have. I really appreciate that
The house is very cute. The baby will change everything though.
I agree... putting the cradle under the stairs is NOT the best idea - when the baby wakes up at night and cries you always have to get downstairs...might be stressful, even dangerous when you're sleepy and it's dark 🤷♀️
But the house is very cute, might get soon too small though once the child grows up.
@@pippilangstrumpf1146 more like once the baby starts walking 😆
I'm sure they will manage with the baby.....They will figure it out n be fine!!💜🥰
I was wondering where they'd put the baby too! They'll adapt ~ lol
Mom of 4 here 🙋🏽♀️I was thinking the SAME thing!
The cutest little pregnant lady . Love the house design
I love watching tiny houses videos, i get so inspired! Once i settle down i want a tiny house. I am a nomad, i have little stuff and a tiny house would fit me perfectly! Love this kitchen!
love the layout - the bedroom loft with the closet behind the bed wall is a very clever design, also the kitchen is great!! Good job on the house and congrats on the little one on the way!!!
This brings back memories... I grew up in 400 square foot (38 square meters) one bedroom studio apartment in Poland. It was just one room for the 6 of us (4 kids and parents). I moved to England at 19 and was so happy to have my own space and privacy! Now at 31 I live in Canada in 2000 square foot house with my boyfriend. There is no way I would ever want to live in that small of a space ever again, not sure why this video was suggested to me! 😂
Maybe it wasn’t by accident but to remind you of the true values in life. There’s a big difference between living with five other people vs. one other person. Also, when you grow up without much money, it’s easy to make earning money and having a lot of stuff very important in life. But it’s a reaction to the extreme situation that led you to think that way. When you choose simple living, you don’t feel forced. You want the freedom of simplicity vs. working so long and hard for material objects that are temporary.
I would not live in a house where I had to crawl around! Down stairs is great though!
That kitchen and bathroom look fairly well designed!
Dont live in a tiny house. Very few have first floor bedrooms.
If it meant I didn’t have a massive mortgage round my neck until I was turned 60, then yes I would certainly crawl around on my knees upstairs, especially in a country where the climate permits, where most of your “living” space will be outside!
@@wazz1154 lol That is understandable, if in fact you live in a climate where it's possible to have most of your living space outside.
If you save money (instead of blowing it on stuff you really don't need), you have a down payment large enough so that you can afford a 15 year mortgage instead of a 30 year. Well, that and also not buying a home that is truly outside of your budget.
same. can't do it and that IS okay. Everyone is different. Fortunately, not every tiny house has this issue.
This woman and this tiny home are both adorable 😊
Instead of renting apartments for years before having our kiddos I would have done this If we would have thought of it lol ☺️ we currently live in a 900sq foot house with 3 kids and one on the way and it’s great!
I am not a tiny house fan, but love watching the ideas and how ppl are creative with making things fit and work. I have to say, by far your house is one of the best!! Really nice with allot of space. The table you bought in the kitchen is a replica from a online store (20+ years ago) Fingerhut. It came with 4 folding chairs that fit in the center. That why they were out of the way, and you could use how many you needed at the time. They weren't built for heavy ppl so you had to watch who sat in them. Great 👍 job..
Did she mention what they’re going to do when the baby turns into a toddler, etc.?
Was wondering the exact same thing lol
this spce is not going to be enough for a toddler, may he can stay with grandparents during the day
exactly the toddler can't ever go upstairs because they will fall over that little edge they have cute for a couple but definitely not practical for kids
That loft is dangerous for a crawler and toddler
Omg..she'll figure that out when the time comes..is aren't y'all kid..y the heart attack? 😂
Living in a tiny home when theirs only two of you is perfect but once you start having children, it’s not ideal. You need room and more living space.
I was thinking the same thing..With kids it will become tinier and not as organizrd
They live in their parents backyard, I’m sure mom and dad have plenty of space lol
What’s ideal for you and your child doesn’t have to be ideal and identical for someone else.
I live in an RV with 4 kids my husband and a giant poodle…. Our RV doesn’t have the loft. It’s 400 sq feet. We all have space. And it’s not cluttered. If it works for them, it works for them.
My mom, brother and I lived in an apartment about this big in Brooklyn for years. We loved it. Really fond memories.
Thank you for showing us the storage ideas, and giving the costs for building. It's beautifully decorated and you are an excellent guide. I hope you'll post pictures after the baby arrives.
I will ☺️
Watching on my tv when I looked up and saw your bump I got so excited because I am expecting as well . Most people don’t want to live in a tiny home with a baby. Your home is beautiful definitely my version of a dream home.
Intentional living...what a great philosophy! Love your home and how you & your husband have customized so much to meet your unique needs. I'm sure it will be fun to continue to customize & evolve when baby comes. Enjoy & thanks for sharing with us!
How adorable is she. I dig this space. Very cozy and welcoming. Congratulations on baby to come. Would love to see an update someday.
Smaller the house, less the cleaning. Am i right
Mhm!
Smaller in real life is often super cluttered and hard to keep neat. But everyone is is different
Biggest disappointment moving into our current home 😂 it’s huge, 2600sq ft and a little over an acre of land, it’s a SUPER fixer so we got a fantastic deal. However cleaning day to day life and renovation mess for many years is kind of traumatizing 😂😂😂 I’m so thankful for it though 🙏🏼
Amber Keever your house is not that big! Mine is 1800 and I wish it was bigger! Tiny houses are so pretty, most like little cottages, but not for me. Cannot make sense out of a room and closet you have to crawl through.
It depends actually. I live in a tiny house and feel like I'm cleaning all the time! Because it's so small, dirt and dust accumulates much faster because it doesn't get spread out over a larger surface area.
Adorable home! Adding a new little blessing to your home is so exciting!❤🙏❤👣❤
Thank u 🥰
Love your hair and outfit. You look very beautiful! 🤰 Your home is Lovely and everything will work well and fit beautifully when your Baby arrives. Congratulations to you both and best wishes.
So sweet of you! Thanks!!
Cute tiny house.. you can add on a bedroom to the living room. Big enough for a bed and crib.. then add a railing to the loft bedroom - it can become the baby's once she is 4 or 5 yo.
Gorgeous. Love that you have proper comfy seating in the lounge. I believe you said you’ve been there 3 years so you have everything worked out the way you want it. Really appreciated the list of FAQs, so many forget to give these details. All the best for the arrival of your little one.
You’ve (or someone) designed a wonderful space. This looks much larger and more open that the majority of tiny houses that have more square footage..
She's adorable. I'm sure she's nervous talking because of all the hormones. I hope they have a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby😊
If you ever get a portable washer it looks like it can fit right where the laundry basket is, the laundry basket can fit on top.😊
I Thoroughly enjoyed her tour. She has such a pleasant personality.
LOVE the kitchen!! Such a beautiful space overall! What a cozy & fun world y’all have created to live in and now to share that energy with your first baby. 🙃 Peace and Blessings!
I love that the restroom isn’t in the kitchen like most tiny homes. Such a beautiful well thought-out home!
thank you!
I don’t understand why there are 1.6K thumbs down ratings? I find tiny homes to be really neat! While you’re living in your cookie cutter void of furniture & character McMansion & feeling anxious & depressed bc you’re house broke, these ppl are able to live with less stress & more money & probably enjoy their lives a little more! I think tiny house living is genius! And they have a cute, little abode!
Pretty sure if she didn't ask for advice, don't give it. Love the house, looks very cute!
I am afraid of heights, so I would build a wall, so I wouldn’t fall downstairs.
Cute house, we have our children and their families living on our property as well. Its their own space but they are close to visit and be supportive. Great tour!
I wish more families would be like that. God made families for a reason and some Americans just don't take advantage of that.
I hope to have my whole family live together like this when I start my own family. Just need some land 😅
I’m sure everyone would do it differently if it was there house but it clearly works for them and that’s fine
I absolutely LOVE that bathroom. Wow yes to that tiling!
Clever layout. Glad that you are believers as well. May the Lord's blessings be on you and your family.
She is giving me Diane Keaton vibes.
that's it! I couldn't put my finger on it. YES. thanks...
I felt Drew Barrymore.
@@murieltainter5936 I hope you asked for consent.
Her voice and way she moves are just like Jennifer Jason Leigh from Single White Female.
So cute but very hard pregnant climbing the stairs.
That doesn't seem safe as she gets bigger....but the house is cute!
When she gets bigger she’ll probably have help or sleep on the couch 💗 but I’m sure she’ll be able to handle it
She will have an easy delivery with all that exercise
It's actually not hard when you're used to it.
I climb the 8th floor everyday to my apartment with a 8 month belly and it isn't hard cause I'm used to it.
When I was pregnant I was up several times a night to go to the bathroom. I can’t imagine having to turn around to go down the ladder with a big tummy...pee and walk back up until 2 hours later and do it again. It’s hard enough to sleep when you get big without having to totally get awake to use the bathroom. I hope she stays downstairs on the couch till that parts over. With the baby coming, maybe a pull out couch?
It's an ADORABLE PLACE, but the smallness would DRIVE ME NUTS!!!! And I HAVE TO HAVE A BATHTUB!!!! I feel bad for you all when the baby is born. You'll be living over your parents doing laundry!!!! Of course, this Video is now two years old, so I'm hoping you've WORKED EVERYTHING OUT!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!
