VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Before the pandemic, Jaqueline was looking to buy a place in Austin, but with the market being crazy, she chose to rent and found a tiny home! With a wrap-around porch and vaulted ceilings, her 400 sq ft house looks massive! The interior has a simple layout with a living space large enough for an entertainment center, a small couch, and a dog bed for a little pup named Penny. Although downsizing has been a challenge, Jaqueline has managed to get her clothes to fit in the double closet and the rest to fit under the bed. There’s a large farmhouse sink, a microwave, and a dishwasher in the kitchen that she’s so thankful to have!

I'm a 70 year old homeless woman who would give anything to have a home like this! Please pray for me. Thank you

[@jennymcgowin9140]

I will pray for you.🙏🏻

I will pray for you too Robin, 🙏💞

[@cynthiawilliams3239]

This is one of the best tiny house I have seen. I love that the bedroom is downstairs and you don’t have to have the ceiling in your face while you in bed. Penny you have a BEAUTIFUL home.

[@riogrande5761]

One of the better tiny homes featured on KZbin. Bedroom near bathroom is major plus, no having to go downstairs or climbing a ladder to use the toilet! A full 400 sq ft means maximizing features unlike many smaller tiny homes.

[@cynthiagallegos8278]

There is a community, close to Austin TX, that is tiny homes for the Chronically homeless. Check it out.

[@Onyx-Rose150]

The difference between tiny on wheels and tiny on foundation.

[@riogrande5761]

@@Onyx-Rose150 I've seen tiny houses on wheels featured that have bedrooms near the bathroom that didn't require going down stairs or a ladder. They are less common but definitely out there.

[@sira451]

Nice 400 sq ft home. This is a "park" model, manufactured home and currently rents for $1500+ per month. Although I'm glad more communities are opening up, this is not affordable for most people who are trying to lower expenses by going tiny. Thank you for showing this park model home and the tour!

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Wow that is expensive

[@Kiki-wi7px]

Very Nice but Way Too Expensive ! ! !

[@itsno1duh]

You sold me at "no shared walls" ! but good community is still very nice... Fresh airy spacious, good living!

[@juliadoherty83]

Penny is a little heart stopper. She's blessed to have you. This is a tiny home that I could live in - beautiful. I'm with you regarding the dishwasher. 🐕👊🐕

[@sierrawilliams5982]

I wonder why they didn’t include how much she paid.

[@cheeririnaldo435]

This is very livable. Also, having a deck and a covered outdoor space is really important with these tiny homes, so you can extend your living space beyond the interior walls physically and psychologically.

[@Donneczka1]

Lovely home! Love to to see young people embrace minimalism! Too many people in my generation (Baby Boomer) are way too stuck on their stuff. Live small and light on the planet and enjoy your life! Experiences are far better than stuff!

[@cynthiawilson5066]

Totally agree with you

[@roxannegordon6162]

I have STUFF and love it. I could not live the minimalism life without my stuff. There's my main lifestyle as a concert violinist. No it's not as big as a Tuba, or piano. I'm also a painter: Acrylics on canvas. Some quite big. Then there's my sewing machine since I've made quilts for all my siblings and mother: single size, double and queen for my bed and a huge king size quilt for my in laws. That took me 5 months to make and the key to getting these quilts done is to NOT put it away, but keep it sitting nearby to maximize the time I have to keep at it., Then there's my bike to store since I ride about 4-20 miles a week. During summer I'm out camping. I bring my bike, and all the equipment to make hiking safe. Pheww that's a lot of STUFF! Oh wait...I also decorate the 15' marquee at the concert hall. I love the fact the board gave me the opportunity to be the artist. I have lots and lots of totes with decorations stacked in my basement. I look at the next concert Theme to start designing. Those totes also have many large table cloths to cover the reception area. Well, I think that's enough information for now, to explain some people just can't let go of their stuff, nor do they want to. Good luck to you. This tiny house is far better than most I've seen. Especially the bedroom. No silly loft to crawl into like a bed bug that you can't even stand up in. My goodness!!

[@7Jennifer]

Awww, Penny is precious! I feel like I've seen this layout before in another video with a middle-aged lady. I'm not sure if it was on this channel but I liked it then and I still like it. Just a really great use of 400sq ft and the outside space is so fantastic as well.

[@Iris_Transforms_Healing]

Yes, the video title has “Retired Teacher” and it’s very similar. She has a fireplace on her porch.

[@annesmith5192]

I saw the other video, too.

[@00clgordon]

Same, I saw it too. I love this layout. Feels very spacious!

[@lizzieb6311]

Clearly she loves Penny Girl..with all the Penny stuff throughout her lovely home. She’s just adorable! Her home is fantastic!

[@carolechenowith900]

Yes I've seen it too. I believe it is in texas

[@raysun2be]

I do love the park model tiny homes, full size appliances, high ceilings with lots of windows to bring in light. Nice wrap around porch on this one too. Nicely decorated, seems to be a great fit for your current lifestyle!

[@bethyoung3654]

Penny is adorable! Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

[@kricklin]

Penny is adorable!

To anyone reading this, i'm sending you good vibes and blessings. take things one day at a time, focus on putting yourself first and take deep breaths. everything will fall into place

[@marjorjorietillman856]

This house is definitely a home! And it’s absolutely beautiful and has enough space to thrive in, and live your best life! This is as close to perfect as one needs!!😀👍🏼

[@shirleyashanti3031]

Lovely. I could live there in a heartbeat. It seems quite spacious. Thank you for sharing.

[@kareneDallas]

Austin did a great job - allowing the development of this new type of community. Not everyone can afford a mortgage or the cost of renting a house. This is perfect. You get your own space - without sharing walls & you have the community & safety of a neighborhood. Nicely done. You’ve done a great job of incorporating work, entertainment & living areas into your home too.

[@ricardomoseley]

YeS 🙌🏾 & YeS 🙌🏾

[@stephaniewillson9383]

That outside space is an extension of living. Very nice.

[@christinehutchins123]

If you can use your outdoor space all year or close to it that would make a huge difference for me. I wouldn't ever feel confined. Very nice extra living area.

[@12Gaile]

I love this tiny home, Jaclyn & her sweet doggie Penny. ❤️

[@lulucharlie8683]

I love your doggie 🤗 he’s half blind like me! ❤

[@kattinabyse4500]

That outside space is so perfect. The whole little house is great, just enough for 1 to 2 people.

[@christinehutchins123]

And...A sweet dog. Or cat lol

[@michellebrooks5582]

Nicely done and it seems a lot bigger than 400 square feet.

[@debbiemelillo2011]

I have watched a bunch of these tiny home videos. This is by far one of the best laid out and well-decorated tiny homes I’ve ever seen! It was fun to catch all the Penny-inspired items she has in her home as well! Great video! Gorgeous home! I hope she continues to be happy there.

[@gracerascon9026]

Love your "flat" tiny home rental. Being a senior, a loft is a definite "no". Thank you for sharing.

[@erinbrown6962]

Beautiful home and Penny is precious!!! Congratulations on getting into a tiny house!!! I’m excited to do the same! Probably in two years!

[@janwherley8649]

Love love LOVE you little tiny Penny dog !!!! Precious ! And the house, and your presentation, that was pretty good, too !

[@janwherley8649]

oops, same words, I must have written without reading other comments ! Sweet, cute, fragile ? lovely dog.

[@kristimcgowandarkoscellard3126]

What a beautiful home and lovely young woman! I love this build and of course I love her adorable dog! Cheers

[@teresamiller5412]

Of all the tiny homes I’ve seen, I love this floor plan! Thanks

[@pootninny]

I can only imagine how much it must cost for a rental in Austin with all those amenities. I love the layout of that home, it is perfect for me and I’ve been looking a lot

[@bluewrenbirdie]

This exact model doesn't have a unit available at the moment for pricing, but another park model in the same community is currently listed at $1500/month.

[@marysharvey]

What a beautiful community. I could live there easily.

[@geebrewer8186]

A lot of tiny houses to me seem like they are similar to small boats, just kind of small and cramped. This house F/P seems light and spacious. I love the bathroom, actually seems usable. The kitchen is great. I could live in this one, altho I would prefer maybe 600 sq ft

[@puppycat58]

Your home is beautiful 😍....lots of luck in it...your porch is awesome love the way it wraps around... can you put like privacy curtains on your porch if you wanted too....Your fur baby is beautiful 😍....you have great storage.... Lots of Luck... Be Safe Be Blessed

[@tthom2459]

what a gr8 floorplan. Doesn't seem 'tiny' at all. I could totally live in a place like this. She's right . . . the wrap around deck almost doubles the living space

[@justsayingno_pun4460]

Beautiful, love the layout! Wonderful job decorating, and love Penny and picture of her ❤️

[@janinafisher101]

This is a great community especially with being able to rent. Nice spacious tiny house with a ground floor bedroom and spacious kitchen!

[@eh6454]

Very nice, spacious home, larger than the majority of 1 bedroom apartments in the UK!

[@marknewton6984]

It's all I need, besides books. Keep it simple...😎 The Florida Beachcomber

[@dianep3071]

Now this is a tiny home i love. A bedroom on main floor

[@favoritechrisitanmusic4902]

I pray I am able to do this as well before it's too late.

[@jlscielo]

She is precious. And what a great future she will have!🎉 So thoughtful on her use of the space and the need to purge. I am in the process of purging as well to move into a smaller tiny home. We all carry too much extra items as a burden to dust, store and clean! I am looking forward to living more minimally and efficiently and to save money as well for more useful wishes such as travel and also caring for my elderly mom.

[@raymahannah4336]

Impressive! Very nice layout, and the way you have it set up is nice! 🙂 I could definitely do 400sqft with the wrap around porch not being included in that number... I hope it works out in the long run for you!!

[@grandmalisa796]

Bright young woman! She will always remember her time in the tiny home!

[@Bridget2460]

Love the layout, wished you had mentioned cost for those that are very interested that information means a lot.

[@bluewrenbirdie]

This layout doesn't currently have units available, but similar sized units in the same development are around $1500/month to rent.

[@Bridget2460]

Thank you!

[@tngalvols1184]

I absolutely love this floor plan!!!!

[@catherineferguson7646]

Lovely. I must say this young lady is an immaculate house keeper. These shows are encouraging me to downsize things I don't need.

[@thepursuitofhappiness9390]

I definitely like this. If I ever get a tiny home I want a large deck area.

[@ecaldwell9]

Nice video! Nice mix of showing the property - which is why we come to these videos to see. And then you get some content from resident. Good job! Thx U!

[@laceknot1584]

Very NICE love all the natural light coming thru windows ❤️

[@southengirl1]

Lovely and beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@karendeckman1694]

Love it!!! I traded in my rv this past July, was too old to renovate to a mini vacation home! A brand new one was best for our retirement, better yet near the grandkids!!! Enjoy yours! 😉

[@revmichellejones-holmden6318]

This is so beautiful! It seems so peaceful the way it is put together. So much light. Would love to have one!.

[@amyk3020]

I adore your place, love living minimalistic also and Penny is a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing your home. The paint colors make it appear sooo much larger and bright. Used to live in Texas and it seems they are more accepting of these communities that up in the Northeast. Best in 2023!

[@teresabell1014]

That was a lovely home. You explained everything so well. Happy New Year !

Thank you for sharing your home with us but especially for sharing it with Penny! You are both so precious! Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼

[@luckydubefan808]

Love Penny and her tiny home.

[@susanmcmains8593]

Lovely home, & Penny is adorable. I had a thought for the bathroom counter issue, talk with management about putting a small flip up ledge on the side? It would be small, but could help. Thank for sharing!

[@janhatcher6991]

thank you for sharing your tiny home with us. I think about getting a tiny home a lot! It's nice to know that there are communities out there that she can move into. A tiny home is just big enough for me. I'm thinking. I sure like the porch area you have.

[@seetaramsook7254]

Your home is absolutely lovely..love how clean and tidy it is 🥳🥳👍🙏

[@luzTpasco]

I love the lay out of house. I love the location of kitchen to bedroom and bathroom

[@sandrap3047]

Beautiful home! Love all the white! It almost looks huge compared to the tiny homes I've seen. I may have to move to Austin just so I can live in this tiny house community! Penny is so cute! I have a 17 year old dog that is my heart! I'm sure Penny is your heart too!

This is the most practical tiny house ive ever seen.

[@longlivedemocracy756]

When you are thinking about buying - check out Recreational Resort Cottages. I have nothing to do with the company, but have been watching their designs on KZbin videos and they are amazing! I bet you would love one of them. I recently saw one with two bedrooms, one and 1/2 baths plus a loft space all in 399 Sq. Ft!! This current tiny house you are renting is lovely. I love your design aesthetic making it your own. Wishing you and your pup much happiness in the future as you settle into your own place!

[@amybrevard3800]

Loved this one! Great layout and style! If the owner happens to read this what is the title of the pink book on the shelf I can’t see it lol 😂 and I love books and collect these colors for my shelf in my office. Loved your shelves and the pink wall calendar in your home office!

[@philiphaley6314]

I love that you are able to rent these houses, it’s like a trial run to see if tiny living is for you. I particularly like that it’s single floor living, I couldn’t do with climbing up a ladder and crawling into a loft, not at my age that’s for sure 😉😁 This would really suit me, a shame it’s not in the UK Are they all rentals or could you buy one if you wanted too ??
