I absolutely love her voice. It sounds so peaceful and calm, like she's become settled within her self. You can tell she's a lovely person

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

That’s exactly how it felt spending time with her 😊✨

[@feliciawalker183]

I felt the same listening. I found myself so intrigued and drawn into every word. So happy she has found Cranmore Meadows😘

[@despicabledavidshort3806]

I agree, and I love her laugh. she seems very happy

[@mel-danysilverqueen7667]

I love that Niles gets what Niles wants 😹😻

😂😹

[@suzzetteturnbull9535]

I love the stories of courageous decisions to do what’s right for you rather than feeling obligated to follow what’s perceived as societal norms. Very inspiring!!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

That’s one of our favorite thing about the simple living & tiny home movement is helping do make whatever nontraditional choice if it works well for them. 😊💫

[@jennyfulcher8035]

I love how you decorated your tiny home with plants and artwork! I'm an artist so immediately i noticed the Matisse bedspread and painting, Picasso Peace Dove mug, as well as the other paintings and artwork. Really cool and cozy! Jenny

[@thelilacfairy17]

What a kind and pleasant person! I loved hearing her story! The tiny house community has such good people in it!

[@kathleenaltherr4249]

This young woman, what a lovey and settled soul she has and is able to express it so beautifully. The color of the wood and flow of light in her home is perfect. It is a very special space. I am truly happy for her and her dear orange boy. One of ours is a dear orange boy and they are so gentle and amazing. Thank you for sharing this sweet person and her wonderful home with all of us.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We’re honored to share ❤️

[@wakingcharade]

I'd love to see more second hand tiny homes. A growing second hand market will open up the lifestyle to even more people. The custom builds are amazing, and worth featuring for ideas, but it's lovely to see people making second hand spaces work for them, too.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

We agree and hope to show more in the future 😊✨

[@pbear49]

Love the open space and wood makes it very warm and comfortable. I really admire her courage to strike out and buy a tiny house, start a new way of living. That's one of the things that I like about your vlog. All the different stories and what brought them to living tiny. Another great video.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thank you for that kind feedback Paul ☺️❤️

[@nildar5904]

This video more than any I have seen shows how it's possible to live in a 8ft × 20ft home. All those large windows really make a difference. I wish her luck! Thx

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

So true-the more light, the better! ☺️✨

[@flowerchile2676]

Her Dad sounds like a great guy. I love to hear families helping each other.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Always great to hear ☺️

[@dustman96]

Appreciate the genuine, thoughtful talk about your experience. This is the first tiny home I've seen that comes close to the design I envisioned. I believe single story tiny homes are where it's at.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

She had such great perspective! And think single story designs definitely have a lot of appeal 😁😊

[@soulvoyages]

What an amazing person inhabiting authenticity and calmness xx

[@tyrabanxx1514]

Love her chill vibe and the socks! The home looks beautiful. I want a tiny home now

@@TinyHouseExpedition Sorry for the tactless question, but why is she wearing a hat indoors when she's wearing a short sleeve blouse? Is it such a weird fashion?

[@marciwhitton6351]

What a beautiful home and production. I will always appreciate a person who can wear odd socks with confidence. I feel that this tiny house movement is going to gain some serious attraction moving forward in the future for so many people due to affordability issues and I'm one of them. It represents so many things that allow people to live in a more relaxed, efficient and authentic way amongst other things.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Well put and thanks for the love!

[@valerief1231]

I wish I was as cool as her, the art, the plants, Niles, sense of self. Thanks for letting us check out your space, it’s perfect!

[@jennyc1846]

Hi Tyler lovely to meet you and Niles. Wow you live in a beautiful spot in the world. The bright green of those trees against the colour of your home looks stunning. I love how you have your home set out, its your home and you have to do what is right for you. Yes get that deck built and put aa roof over it and you can follow your creative pursuits out there or just read a book. You could even build yourself an outdoor cat enclosure for Niles a few shelves or boards to walk on and some shade cloth or netting of some kind and he's set. Sweetheart you don't need to apologise or "try to explain to others" about your home or lifestyle. They can either accept you as you are or are they really worth knowing in the first place. I think the Covid episode was a scary time for many people across the world, except me and my hubby. As we like to keep to ourselves anyway and live in a beautiful area of Western Australia we were happy to just stay home and not have to mingle with anyone ha ha.. nothing really changed for us except there weren't any other people around...perfect!!. This has been the perfect time for you to realise some of your dreams maybe. To be able to give other aspects of living a go. This is a great channel to learn how others 'do it' also 'Living Big in a Tiny House' is another great channel. I wish you well with your new life. Looks like you have great neighbours and you are so lucky to have a tiny house community in which to live. Its not something which is very common in Australia yet although I gather some parts of Queensland (up north on the east coast of Oz) and New Zealand are both gathering a lot of interest and support for the tiny house movement. Early merry Christmas wishes to you from Western Australia cheers Jenny

[@hollyvick181]

Love the giraffe throw, birds, books, those big windows!!

[@marisamoeller1718]

I absolutely love the fact that she made a cozy little loft for her cat!!

[@eileenmcnichol9657]

Some things I would change decor wise, but it is a nice cozy place and just a perfect size for one person; also has the benefit of not needing to climb a loft. Her cat is beautiful by the way. The scenery is lovely and peacful.

[@arlenedrake9305]

I love all the outdoors coming in it’s beautiful

[@saundraking7168]

Her voice is so soothing. I would listen to an audible read by her.

[@chapman1569]

Again, I love how you presented this house and it's owner. Cozy little home, To me , the shelf on one side with her books, artwork and dishes gives a camper feel, it is quite nice.It leaves space for the light to come from the windows , it opens up the space. Since she bought the home as is, it show us the tiny home can be sold and enjoyed again.I would have liked to know the water, power and heating situation.And budget per month. I think I saw an electric heater in the bathroom. Thanks for talking about the toilet. She is in a park and it looks like she has hookups.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for the feedback! Those would have been points to talk about 😁

[@kerryowen-holmes3719]

I really like the shelves that are up the top-they don’t look claustrophobic like some can. You’re kitty is a cutie❣️ the house doesn’t seem small it’s just great, the whole thing is one of the best I’ve seen. Good luck on the journey. Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

I lovedlovedloved this episode! Tyler nailed it on so many levels...about life, living, just simply *being* and doing what feels right for oneself.. "Selfish" at its root, is simply defined as being concerned with one's welfare, to be "self-ish" That is not at all a bad thing, and I would like to think in this example, I "get" what Tyler was saying. To thine own self be true. I sense a strong BlueQ affinity there in Tyler's house; (the socks were a clue) and I especially relate to the awesomely bawdy towel that got shown several times, (heh heh heh), "F*ck I love cheese" So do I! :-D Just really loved this house, and Tyler...and love to Niles as well, lucky kitty!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Great catch with the towel! 😆 We fell in love with how this turned out because she is so darn charming & thoughtful ☺️

🔥🔥🔥so chill

[@donaldhall2037]

Not sure it could have been done or not...but the Cook Top, I think had it been turned and placed end to end from the Sink to the Fridge and pulled out closer to the edge of the counter..it would have given more counter space * in the back *. Also if and when you had to use both eyes, you wouldn't have to reach over the front eye to get to what's on the back eye. Love all the Window, they really open up the space, making it appear much larger than it is, and giving amazing natural lighting. All I can say is YOU Did Good :).

[@TinyHouseExpedition]
