Denetra overcame her fear of the unknown through her faith, smart financial planning & gumption. She's been living tiny for 2 years with her dog, Molly-Sue in 3 different parking spots. They both love it & have no regrets! She has a 26-ft Cypress Equator by Tumbleweed Tiny House. ✨ *Watch a tour the Acony Bell Tiny Home Community where Denetra lives:* ruclips.net/video/CFfWdSuZ_CQ/видео.html
Does Denitra have a RUclips channel, that she is willing to share?
And I thought when she gets her husband he can get the exact same one and they can connect them by there porches 😀👍💜
I'm so happy for her
Girl, they get the trash too? Wow! I'd stay put.... Your home is just that.... Homey. Enjoy 🌹
Very admirable! Her faith is inspiring! Praise the Lord!
I love Denetra's tiny house but I REALLY LOVE her attitude!
She's amazing!
She would be a great neighbor!
Love her openness. ❤️
Ditto
Yep and she’s pretty too a godly woman 🙏🏿
I love how she's always saying that she's grateful or thankful for what she has. A woman of Faith indeed!
Blessing's to you from Buffalo.... Lord I would really have to make a very big life change indeed, 🙏🏽💜💪🏾🙌🏾🍾🥂👍🏾
Agree!!! A good Christian ❤❤❤❤❤
Two things I learned about her - She is grateful, and she cooks everything from scratch! An aorable woman with an adorable house. 😊
Yes yes ❤
Yes! Just darling… such gratitude and clarity. Inspiring!!
She is so smart because she tested living tiny before she bought a permanent place.
Who’s still here a month later?!? Thank you everyone for all your support, encouragement and love. This was such an opportunity to lift up Jesus. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 God bless!!
Thank you for letting us be a small part of your tiny home journey!
You’re so welcome! It was a privilege. ❤️😉
You are adorable! I wish I lived closer and was a tiny house owner-we would be buds!! ;)
I want to do what you did. This is inspiring!. The two tiny home communities in my area that I toured have RVs and mobile homes in the community, which didn't feel secure for me as a single woman. How are you liking the community where you are located? Is it just tiny homes only?
@denetragary2499 Thanks ❤for sharing with the world your faith and home. I’ve been saying I’m gonna branch out into a tiny house for years. Watching your story has given me the courage to start the process! Thank you 🙏🏾!
I love how she was real and truthful about the downsides of her house. So many videos just paint a rosy picture.
We like to show all the sides of tiny living that the owners are willing to share!
So true! I watch thousands of tiny house videos and this is the first time someone has been this transparent!
Yeah 🙂
Trueful and grateful. Full of thankfulness and not boostful. You go girl. God be with you.
I LOVEEE Denetra!! She has an amazing personality and I appreciate that she kept it real. As a black woman, I really appreciate the representation. Thank you for sharing your story, Denetra!
As a woman you should like the representation.
@@vickicornelius9531 No no. I MEANT what I wrote. Don't reduce my existence to suit your agenda.
Very nice. ❤
What got my attention was when she said she’ll finish paying for her house is 5-7 years! 👍🏽
Denetra's so real and funny! "Glory be to God! I have a flush toilet right now!" 🤣All the best to her in the future. 🤗
😀
What an awesome lady. I love how many times she used the word “grateful”!
"I am very grateful to be able to flush... and walk away." Lmao that was my favorite part
We all need friends like Denetra! I appreciate her honesty
I'm a Christian woman also, and she's definitely given me a little bit more strength to start praying for the things I need. The Lord is great, and He can make anything happen.❤🙏
This was the the most honest tiny home video I have seen. She really highlighted all the benefits, but didn't hold back about what she didn't like or what didn't work for her. Many times these tiny home videos are overly idealistic. No living situation is perfect. ❤
So true!
Denetra: If you do get married, get him to buy his own tiny home, trick it out like a man cave and park it next to yours! I saw a couple who did this and it worked for them.
PS. Your freezer is fine!
@Danielle-
No, her freezer is way too small for her needs !!!!!
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Maybe she can get a chest freezer and park it outdoors by the side of the house plugged in with a rain/snow cover.
Nice idea!
😁🤣❤👏🏾👏🏾
🤣🤣🤣
That's hilarious, but smart!!!😁
B.B is super cute, Demetria really made a great job making her into a home. ❤
I enjoyed this episode. I really appreciate Denetra talking about her faith & how it affects her life. I know that will bless others.
She needs her own show🥰 she’s EVERYTHING! No wonder she’s a therapist, she’s definitely a person you can open up too. She gives me hopes I’m in NC I want a tiny home
Amen.
Love Molly Sue
Love this woman's authenticity and spirit. She created a home just for her to fit all her needs and lifestyle. She is a breath of fresh air. Wishing her many blessings in this life.🙏💗
and this....
@@Deputy-Seraph ❤
Her house is beautiful and so is she. What a bunch of great decisions she has made for herself. Smart lady. 🙌🏼
I love how she kept saying I'm so Grateful ❤
As a fellow black woman, i can honestly say that having a tiny house would be awesome. I want a tiny home so bad. Love your house
Go for it!
You get a tiny home!!! It’s yours receive it in faith!!!
I have to say this young lady is really cool. She must be an exceptional therapist. Her attitude shows what a fine person she is. She"d make a terrific friend. Her straightforward attitude I love. I wish her much joy, peace, happiness and sanctuary in her new home !!
This is the difference between a woman who lives a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and one who doesn't.
She is exactly what the Bible describes as how a TRUE BORN AGAIN SPIRIT FILLED CHRISTIAN SHOULD STAND OUT !!!!
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 Dear Heather I totally agree with you !!
😄 that's not a tiny home, compared to lots of people who only lives in a one bedroom. I could surely live in that place and be very grateful.
What a beautiful space and what a lovely woman. And her home reflects all the love she has put into her home. God bless
Denetra is truly a inspiration. I love that she is a vibrant Christian. Her tiny home is cozy and has me envious. Love MollySue too. I think living in such a beautiful village is part of the charm. Denetra would be a friend if I lived there. Thank you for sharing.😊
Oh yeah. We'd be having some lemonade (or wine) on the porch together!
So into Acony Bell! A fabulous location, and with this tiny house?! Dogs, plants, and therapy?! Whats not to love!❤️
Acony Bell is great!
I love what you did with your home! I have to say that I laughed so hard when you said that any men moving in would only have room for his drawers. 😂
I love, love, love your house and what a beautiful setting! I would like to do the same but I have received custody of 2 grandchildren so I have to rethink my plans. We currently live in a 3300 square foot home. It is becoming a burden. Since my husband passed away, this house is a lot of work for just me. Maybe a very small 3 bedroom cottage would be more practical and a lot less work! God bless!
A small cottage sounds lovely and just the right size for you and your grandchildren!
She is adorable. I love her faith, honesty, and positive attitude. Really nice lady.
Thank you for letting your relationship with Creator and Redeemer shine through every aspect of your life! So refreshing to hear someone live their faith and not be censored!
As an atheist, I absolutely loved how her faith shines through. It truly is wonderful to see! Hopefully we all become more accepting of all our different ways of living. Much love to you as well!
Denetra is the kind of Woman I'd be friends with if she lived in my area. (E.TN) I have a couple of Blk Women at my Church that have the EXACT same Spirit & Attitude! Her Tiny Home is Functional & Comfortable, as well as serving her Minimal Life Style! 👍😊👍
Yep….love her and her tiny home!
SHE CAN KEEP HER TINY HOUSE. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE HER.
Thank you for sharing her home. I'm African-American and have been considering a tiny home once I become an empty nester. So I appreciate seeing people of color and their "why".
Thank you so much for watching! We love to see every community embrace tiny living!
Have you seen Claudia's van tour? ruclips.net/video/oPUMzw1Rhjw/видео.html
Why make race a part of her beautiful home ? Unnecessary
@@cindytackett710620:52 Denetria talks about her race.
@@TaushaTW
That's correct
Her sincere expressions of gratitude are inspiring. I hope she has many years of happiness.
Beautiful house and awesome attitude. Happy living. ❤
What an awesome lady! I appreciate her realness and faith. She had the courage to step out of her comfort zone to make this happen. The home is lovely and I wish her all the best.
I'm very impressed with the quality and beautiful design of Denetra's tiny house. Also appreciate her openness about her faith. We need more of these communities like Acony Bell -- for the growing number of us who aren't rabid materialists and want to live simpler lives.
How true! She's a lovely lady. V orderly, so that works well for her. It's refreshing to see someone like her and her tidy TIDY space , wow! I'd have to build a bigger one, custom.. with garden n privacy if it were me. God bless her and I wish for her many happy years of good health xx
Only downside to video was it felt like an advertisement!
You, BB and Molly Sue (the boss) are amazing! I hope someday I can be as organized and functional as you and be able to move into tiny home living! Your sende of humor is amazing and if you were my neighbor, we wld be fast friends! Thank you for sharing your beautiful build! I love that you don't have to sacrifice any amenities at all, plus you still have space for your BFF!!
Wow, young lady, you are a true treasure.Blessings, sweetheart!!
I needed this. I really want to go tiny, but I know I need to work on saving money for a down payment. I’m definitely going tiny. Thank you for sharing her story because you don’t see a lot of black ppl doing this.
Same here. Prayers for us.
Wherever you are at, please check with your county zonng deparrment. A lot of "stinker" government officials are not allowing homes under 850 sq ft to be built - unless you have a parcel that is zoned for two or more structures, or you have an existing home on it, then you can add a tiny home.
Tiny homes cost almost as what an existing home used to cost 2 - 3 years ago. Maybe consider converting a cute shed into a home might be cheaper in the long run.
Yes indeed. I love that we're getting out here and living dreams. Sending blessings. 🙏🏾💙
We love to see it!
Instead of paying $99,000 in home, why not buy a new single wide for half of that? Plus, the single wide would be bigger. You can make a single wide really cute too.
What an endearing personality this lady has…
May God richly bless her as she is staying true to her beliefs…I see that she is letting her light shine..
Jesus is coming soon and this video was a blessing to me…
Life is an adventure…
When we go with God, it’s a safe adventure 🙏🏻💕😇
Yes she’s amazing!! I would love to have her as a neighbor because she is lovely!! Her home is so nice and organized. She definitely adjusted well to this lifestyle.❤
I love her attitude, her spirit, and lastly her tiny home...she is someone I think I would love to talk to and have as a forever friend ..
What a lovely little home . God is so good! Bless you.
Her honesty is very refreshing! So many times you watch these tours and no one talks about the cons.
14:13 “I added up all the years of rent, that I have paid, and it came to over $300k.” Versus the $98k Tiny Home mortgage. Thank you Denetra 🙏.
dont forget rental for that plot of land too lmfao
@@loucipher7782the plot of land is cheaper
Not into religion, but love Denetra's character which shines as she presents her cute tiny house. This is one of the best tiny house designs I have seen for 1 person!
The small house is very cute and elegant. The natural scenery here is so peaceful. she can rest and create everything in this place.
I am she and she is me! I would love all of this for me. Very Inspired I am. So happy for her. Thanks for sharing a piece of your world.
Seriously, I'd move to Acony Bell just so I could be her neighbor! Her joy , honesty and faith are so special. I'm sure her presence adds a lot to their community.
I not only love this house, I love Denetra's honesty.
I hope she has years of happiness and peace in her home ❤
I really love her outlook and how she kept saying she is grateful and thankful
I absolutely loved everything! Her courage and her attitude to make it happen! The house is gorgeous and the little dog is so cute!
I love her attitude and especially her honest reaction and opinions about the toilet, the washer/dryer combo and the steps. Denetra is a neighbor I’d enjoy having. I always wonder about those things and also things like small critters and insects getting in.
It was amazing to turn this video on and be able to relate so well… a Christian who loves animals, is vegan, loves tiny homes, cooks everything from scratch, and likes simple living. And what a fun personality she has! What a blessing this video was to watch! Thank you! ❤
Sounds like it was perfect for you! Thanks for watching!
I agree with you. Her faith leads her in her life and that is awesome.
She is charming. I’d like to have a friend like her.
I always liked tiny home living. It is personal and a space that is used with in comfort. Denetra is a joy to listen to. Love what she did to her home! Wishing her the best. Molly Sue is a cutie.
I love your amazing attitude. May our HEAVENLY FATHER continue to BLESS you 🙏🏾
She's so amazing! Building a tiny house just for herself and her dog in the middle of a beautiful land! So inspiring! ❤
Lovely home. So happy for her to own her own place.
You are such a wonderful Angel. You are helping so many people. You are God sent and you are love!
A very beautiful and well organised, small, sweet home with all the necessary things properly arranged and easily accessible.Quite inspiring.
Thank you for addressing costs, fears, ideas, and being very honest about your life. It really helps all of us understand the struggles, the worries, the joys and the good and bad about living in a tiny home. The one thing that impresses me most about you is you took the time to praise God and be grateful for your life. I very much enjoyed your video and I think it would be great to live in your neighborhood and be your friend.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
You're not addressing the tiny house owner, if you look at the uploader, it's tiny house, not just of this particular lady, just to let you know

That was one of THE BEST Tiny tours and interviews I’ve ever seen . She has the most incredibly warm personality and practical and honest advice about living Tiny. Her home is so well organised it gave me loads of design and organising ideas! I also have a special love of Tumbleweed designs. They are the most homely, warm and cosy Tiny’s out there! ❤❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Yes Indeed!👏🏾👏🏾❤😁
Lovely home, work and life balance. And a vegan too!!! Learnt so much from your lifestyle choices 🙏🏽❤️
Love her tiny home and her vibe! Intelligent, beautiful woman! She has it together, so proud of her! ❤❤❤Congratulations! Beautiful home and location!
This house is as adorable, classy and characterful as the owner. What a wonderful tour: honest, entertaining and informative. Beautiful 💕
Denetra has a beautiful tiny home. She decorated it so pretty. At $99k I would've loved to see her have a larger fridge, and a washer and dryer that worked for her. I love she has nature outside of her door steps.
Love her house but love her personality even more! God bless this woman 🙏🏻
She 🙏 prayed! Yes, she did! ❤
She was so real, open, and honest about her transition to tiny house living. I really enjoyed this tour
Thank you for the kind feedback!
She has such a beautiful spirit and home! 🙏🏾❤ She is right, you don’t see a lot of us in tiny homes but I wanted a tiny house before I got married. Love the idea of it and the financial freedom people have.😊
I agree. Love that more of us are out here living our dreams, enjoying life and making a difference in the world. Many blessings. 🙏🏾💙
Really like the tiny home, really LOVE Denetra!! What a breath of fresh air she was, please have more people like her on your channel!!!
Thank you so so very much for opening your home and sharing your tiny home journey, Denetra. I’m in the process of planning my build. Your faith is inspiring. Hearing about your challenges and successes, and being able to see and feel your space, helps me better envision how to make my build practical, efficient and beautiful. Sending you best wishes for every success.
Her spirit, humor, and attitude are just awesome!
I love how she lives her faith 🙏❤
😅Her personality is A++👌👌. What she said about renting is exactly how I feel. I'm 38 now and I've moved every other year since I was 18 and not by choice. When I see all the cost I spent on moving/ down payments ect... I am just shooked. I know myself and my income if I value my health, will eventually start to go down. The housing in the US has become impossible for those who are working singles there are no help, so having something that you can own and feel safe in has never been so important than it is right now❤
I especially love the nook seating & casual table for feet, snack, or whatever. You did a marvelous creative design!
Oh my goodness, she’s so honest and funny. I love everything in this tiny house. She’s so thankful and grateful to God’s blessings on her. I love it 🥰
Hands down best tiny house tour yet!!! Denetra's tiny house was beautiful and her presence was so calming and steadfast. I appreciated her openness about her faith and tiny house process.
Thanks for watching!
😊
“ Glory be to God for my flush toilet!” 😂😂😂😂
She is delightful in every way! What a blessed home.
She is so adorable, honest and real. She told the good and the bad with humor and by being herself unapologetically. Her home is beautiful and functional and reflects who she is and how she chooses to live. She is inspirational and aspirational.
When humans know themselves well and live the life best for them it radiates….the home is lovely but the owner is even more wonderful. ❤
Denetra! Thank you for the tour. You are such a likeable person. Praise God for your space. ❤
This is the 3rd time I watch this episode and I love it and I rejoice for her. God bless her😊
🙌💕
Love Denetra’s Tiny Home but love her spunky attitude and how she shares how thankful and blessed she is! From one woman of faith to another, you go girl! God’s been faithful to you and is gonna keep blessing you!❤
What a cute tiny house! I really admire Denetra, her faith, her honesty, her humor, and her sweet puppers. Loved this video so much!
Thanks for watching!
You have done something beautiful with your tiny home. You have encouraged me to take that leap as well. I have 2 cats who would love to have extra climbing room. They are my rescues that have in turn rescued my heart and sanity after losing our “Papa Bear”. I had a cute apt, that ended up being too big for me now. I am living with my son and 2 Grands, but my hear misses having my own space. I may be 65 now but I am still able to do my own independent thing. I paint Memory Ornaments for folks who have lost people or pets. As well as canvases. Thank You for showing how much it means to hold to your faith, and also hold on to your confidence. Hope many more blessings come your way, hugs to your beautiful pup as well.
What a lovely thankful positive lady. If more of us will have her attitude, life would be so much better and easier❤
That mini doxie is just the right size for her home. She made the right choice for the areas that are important to her. Its obvious she cooks from scratch and has laid out and outfitted her kitchen work space perfectly. Please thank her for being gracious enough to let us into her home. It was a pleasure.
❤
I like how honest she is! And her tiny home is too cute! Love it!
I just love her! She is a joy to listen to and I admire her honesty!
Denetra answered my question without me asking her. I am a black female and I watch a lot of tiny home videos. The community (Acony Bell) she lives in has caught my attention but I wondered if black people lived there. I was so happy to see her there. I love how honest she was about her dislikes as well as her likes. If I ever become a member of the community, I will look her up.
I just can't imagine her living in Vegas! This home and location feel perfect for her!
She knew exactly what she wanted and created her best life!
I love her joyful, positive attitude and that her faith guides her. A fantastically well thought out and organized space. Just beautiful.
Denetra, your home is beautiful! Your honesty and authenticity is refreshing.
Her faith shines through! It's so encouraging to see a young woman living her dream.
Denetra is a lovely person! She has turned her tiny space into a cozy, functional home for herself and Molly. Beautiful!
It was a joy to meet Denetra. Her maturity and accomplishments are impressive. She shows us clearly her practical faith.
A tiny house and a tiny dog! It doesn't get any better 😊💕
