I think a guitare or any instrument will be awesome for the decoration and for fun

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We have that type of thing in our condo in Halifax 😀 - Trevor

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Love the new home! My only suggestion would be to put the picnic table near the BBQ and maybe the bistro table & chairs near the hammock. Everything looks so nice!!! Congratulations! ~Cara 😊

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks guys! That's a good idea as well. We'll give that some thought 😀 - Trevor

[@jeanguillemette8750]

I love your layout your purchases are perfect for your house it's just the BBQ too close to the house keep up the good work !!

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@wendysmith2743]

Hi there, it's all looking so great! I love the fabulous light fitting hanging in the middle. I was thinking maybe some lovely baskets for the storage space behind the bed would be a great investment. You both have great taste. Happy decorating. Take care.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Oh great idea Wendy! They'd almost be like drawers then for clothing etc 👍 - Trevor

[@crash8563]

Looks great! Is that an induction unit?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

No it's not actually 😀 - Trevor

@@DelightfulTravellers. No offence. It would be better to put small souvenirs of your travel around the world .

[@DelightfulTravellers]

@@christofat2704 No offence taken all good. We pack to light on our travels for souvenirs honestly 😅 👍

[@melaniep9687]

You can also use nice baskets or bins that would fit into the shelves behind the bed for more storage and to keep the place looking neat and clutter-free.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Great idea thanks Melanie - Trevor

[@dereklawrence8843]

Hey Trevor & Anna, great video as always. You guys have much better decorating taste than I do haha Re: Cape Breton photo book ideas, there are many fantastic CB photographers, some online some perhaps not. First one that comes to mind is Warren Gordon in Sydney, just because he did my grad photos (25+ years ago ugh) and he publishes physical books. I’ve since discovered many others including Rob Romard, Michel Soucy, Adam Hill, Kris Tynski, all of which are on IG and/or Twitter. I’m not sure if the others publish physical coffee table / decor books.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We'll look up those names you mentioned. Appreciate the tip Derek - Anna

[@alison1251972]

Congratulations, the tiny home is looking great! I love the coffee station & the book shelf in the stairs. When I travel I have a toiletries bag that hangs up to make things accessible. Do you have a hook in the bathroom that would accommodate a hanging toiletries bag?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Yes we do. We always use hooks for our toiletries as well - Anna

[@joseenoel8093]

We didn't have our bungalow inspected because I wanted the killer green space but, another thing you won't have to contend with is.... Roots in the drain, the water level was always at floor level but, luckily I was home, had a bath 🛁 downstairs and noticed water in the utility room..... So a plumber was called and he used a rotary type of cutter...... This is hubby's 3rd bungalow in that he grew up in one (not me, an old stucco farm house) and his first house was one so it wasn't completely blind! That spring we had ants coming up the pipe (ouch when I unplugged the drain once) as I think they were confused! Last spring we put traps out in March before seeing any, we are always under attack each spring and no problems! Nice you've a hammock, remember to remove it from the elements! P.S. I've also a whirl pool bath which I never use! It works well but takes an awful lot of water (I don't care to sit very long) so I have to remember to jet up to keep jets lubricated. We got it because our renovater (took off, still has a key 🔑 😠) suggested it for the kids' bubble baths... As I was pregnant with the 2nd in Jan. '98, aka (The Ice Storm 😱) we installed a modern stand alone fire place, we use as back up, when it's colder than -10! What amazing views! You won't have that "Need to get to the country feeling" because you're already there!

[@cathygillies7271]

Love the layout of your tiny house. I've watched many tiny house videos and your layout is one I would certainly love. As for books -- Mary Janet MacDonald's new book --Tunes and Wooden Spoons from her Facebook videos is a must. Wonderful recipes and stories -- all from Port Hood and Mabou. Also get the Hiking Trails of Cape Breton --there are lots in the area.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks! We will look that up and we definitely want to get on some trails - Trevor

[@yvonnereza4824]

Very very nice! Congratulations 🎉 on your tiny home 🏡 so lovely ! Is there room for a tv? Cant wait to see the final tour! 💯👏🏼🌅🥰

[@ayngelina]

I love all the natural light, you guys have done such a great job.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks! All those larger windows so help with that. We love how it turned out - Anna

[@joanneyoung904]

i love what you have done with it, it looks so classy ... maybe interior design is another string you should add to your bows

[@mandmgirl7227]

Remember to include some flashlights and spare batteries in case of power outage.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good one thanks Margaret! - Anna

[@BucketListTravellers]

It's looking really cosy in there. We like the under stair storage, and particularly that you've got a selection of games 😀

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Yes games are a must right? We're big fans of the storage in the stairs as well - Trevor

[@animalchatter498]

I was looking at your Airbnb listing...how's it possible to have reviews from 2018 when you just got this tiny house? And who is Robert/Bob? Just wondering.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Robert is our property manager. He had a very similar tiny house on the same property which is no longer available to rent. Instead of creating a brand new listing which takes days to a week to create we decided to switch the profile to our new place given that all the reviews would still apply. It's the same style build and amenities plus the same property / location - Trevor

[@MapManLK]

What a sunny and delightful tour of the tiny house and the, uh. . .grounds! It's all looking very nice. My only red flag was the grill (nearly) up against the (wooden) house. Made my Spidey Sense tingle!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

haha noted!

[@melaniep9687]

Congrats on your lovely new tiny home! Funny what you said about Ikea. Was trying to order a dresser from their website and have it shipped to my son’s apartment in college but it wouldn’t let me. They said I would need to go to the Ikea near me which is 40 miles away to buy it at the store and request to have it shipped. So ridiculous. Oh well, I guess will have to order it from somewhere else then.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You just never know with ikea haha - Trevor

[@deborahwalker3781]

Love what you have done so far, 😊 I was thinking lights for reading in bed. You probably already have and haven’t put up yet. We also have a composting toilet in our bunkie and it works great, 😊

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We have one now actually 😀- Trevor

[@betsygorn2495]

Love your tiny home! I'm stuck in the US right now but would definitely love to rent your tiny home when its easier to get to Cape Breton. I've been to Cape Breton 2 times and loved it! Want to visit for a third time. Also want to see Newfoundland. Have you ever considered Utubing there? Would love to see that!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We had Newfoundland on the list for last spring but then more lockdowns happened. Hopefully next year! 😀 - Trevor

[@beachydayz]

The only thing I would suggest is to locate the bbq away from the wall. The heat will cause siding to melt. Otherwise, it’s really coming along. Looks cozy and comfortable.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You're not the first to suggest that one 😉

[@janicepottie802]

The Cape Breton photographer, Warren Gordon, probably has some books with Cape Breton pictures!!!😀😀

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We'll look him up! Thank you - Trevor

[@ODriscolls]

It's looking so cute! I love the shelf stairs. I wish I had suggestions! Decor is not my strong point. I think I need to embrace some minimalism in my life 😅

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Your goats would luv these stairs😅 You may need the red bucket though - Trevor

[@ODriscolls]

@@DelightfulTravellers hahahahaha they really would! You want a couple of goats for the tiny house? They will escape every enclosure, destroy your belongings and yell at all hours of the day. Just delightful. You can have them 🤣🤣

[@deborahwhite2339]

Beautiful tiny house! Do you have a grey water septic? Composting toilet is the way to go. If only there is some way to further reduce hydrocarbons.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We'll be chatting about all of that in next week's video 🤗 - Anna

[@JSingh_8185]

Where do you get the basic amenities like electricity and water for shower and toilet? How do you do laundry in this tiny home?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

There's power to the house and water comes from the surrounding mountains (stream) The toilet is a composting toilet. There's no washer and dryer - Trevor

[@FromAway]

Where are you keeping the fire extinguisher, smoke and c02 detectors? Bbq against the side of the house may discolour your siding?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Under the sink and there's 2 detectors in the house - Trevor

[@karenglaicar5486]

Very cute tiny house. Looks great. I love your kettle, where did you find it? You guys are doing a great job. Thanks and take care.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

It's made by Bodum. I forget where we actually bought it from though - Trevor

[@paolagaytan6275]

Hey great plan! A tiny home is a wonderful idea. Are you leasing the land? Renting? How do you do with the sewage? Thanks and enjoy!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We'll talk about that in the next video 😀 - Trevor

[@pavelpl8095]

that tine house is so amazing , i love it, greetings!

[@femalism1715]

It's coming together slowly but surely! Cute tiny house! (IMO it needs some art or mirrors and maybe a bit of colour)

[@DelightfulTravellers]

I'm sure we'll be adding some art over time 🤗 - Anna

[@JustinBrehm]

What a great video Trevor & Anna, personally I think you should have a book for people who are there and they can give suggestions because they are physically present vs everyone's opinion that is not there and don't know how to make the space efficient

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good idea Justin. Cheers - Trevor

[@Patti_Wagon]

P.s. you need a name for the Tiny Home! Have a contest to invite your subscribers to come up with name suggestions. 🙄

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks Patti! Your first comment disappeared on us 😅 But yes we didn't name it in the video. It's called 'Tiny Delight' 😀 Hope you're doing well! - Trevor

[@punkinpie27]

It's looking so good! How about a puzzle for a rainy day? Something that would fit on your desk/eating area.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

A puzzle is a great idea! - Anna

[@frenchtons9380]

Cute set up guys!! Careful barbecuing close to the house, I melted my siding that way

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good point! We'll likely move it to a different spot - Anna

[@lelurve]

for the toilet black mirror - i think it is small. i would rather have those peel and stick mirrors from ikea - bigger better :P

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Thanks for the idea 🤗 - Anna

[@teresadoyle1396]

Hey guys, it looks great! Suggestions??? Not sure of the design of the shelf your dishes are on ( meaning, is it a solid bottom or rack style) but I was thinking is there any way you could incorporate a solution by leaning a few plates up behind the other dishes against the wall? Just a thought… It looks amazing so far!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Good idea we probably could do that actually 😀 - Anna

[@wendingourway]

Wow, seems that if travelling ever gets old, interior decorating could be your next calling! Love that black kettle! If you don't have one, what is really neat is a guest book! Had one in my place in Saskatoon when I would travel back to NS for the summer and it was always neat to read when I returned in the fall. Take good care now and hope you both have a wonderful week!

[@overwhelmtoempowerment9974]

So cute - I love it! Unfortunately, no decorating suggestions as I'm not very good with that stuff except, remember to get a guest book and if you're going to be staying during the winter, you will need to think about skirting the tiny house and insulating/wrapping the water pipes in case of freezing. I don't know this from experience but I have seen other tiny house owners who live in colder climates do this.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We won't be staying there in the winter but good call about the pipes etc 😀 - Trevor

[@suebabcock3651]

Good Morning guys, Loved your introduction videos. Feel so privileged to be invited into so many of your personal experiences including your”homes”. Yes I am interested in a bit of intro to use and practicality of the composting facility. I’ve viewed a couple of other bloggers very positive opinions of their composting toilet. I really hope your instructions on its everyday use are very clear for your guests. As a choice for owners, I think it’s wonderful, but hope all your guests are willing to adapt a bit to its everyday use. It seems to me to be the best adaptation to your environment
