This Beautiful Tiny House Has A Lot To Love! ❤️

You never know what you’re capable of until you try. When Kristyn and Laura set out to build their tiny home they had no experience, just a tremendous amount of will power, and the result is stunning. They were looking for a project and ended up building a house!
Thanks to their do-it-yourself attitude and some thrifty material sourcing, this couple has managed to build a dream place to call home for an astoundingly low budget!
The house has been beautifully built and is packed full of character, largely thanks to the use of reclaimed and up-cycled materials. There’s a tremendous amount to love about this tiny home.
Best of all, living in this tiny home has helped them to save enough money to purchase land and move onto their next phase of tiny house homesteading.
We hope you enjoy the tour of this beautiful tiny house and meeting the inspiring couple who made it possible. You can follow Laura and Kristyn’s journey on Instagram: / tiny_meyson

This is a home packed full of the charm and character that is only ever found in DIY projects. You can really tell how much of themselves Laura and Kristyn poured into this build. I love how they stumbled into the tiny house movement and only discovered the benefits along the way. And what a remarkable price they were able to build this house for! We hope you enjoy the tour. With Love, Bryce & Rasa

[@sianthesheep]

Sometimes tiny houses - especially the ones made companies - can seem a bit cookie cutter and sterile white but I love their homey mix and match of colours and styles as well as their reuse of secondhand materials. It's great that the tiny homes movement is helping so many young people to get on the property ladder who would never be able to otherwise.

[@allie1953]

I agree. And I very much enjoy seeing homes that people have built themselves, whether from plans or their own design (*especially* their own design!) I like seeing homes that are down-to-earth and real (made to be lived in, full time), as opposed to those boutique sorts that are being used as a B&B type of arrangement. (Just my personal preference for what videos appeal to me).

[@jennyc1846]

Sadly the Tiny Home movement should be helping people of any age this these tough times. Its a pity more shires or local/federal govt bodies don't get together and scrap all of that red tape which prevents these homes being built. Even the WA govt pats themselves on the back and says they are building so many public housing complexes but they appear to be all 3-4 2 storey houses. People waiting on the public housing lists just want a decent roof not all the trimmings. many people want to downsize too and it just doesn't seem possible to live simply any more. I see those beautiful, apparently well managed Eco type community estates in the USA I would give my eye teeth to live in with communal gardens, libraries, kitchens etc why cant Australia have them too. So much space in the country to build them too...

[@allie1953]

@jennyc1846 the real estate lobby is very strong so the tiny home movement is struggling for a toe hold in many places. Banks, real estate companies, and even local councils/towns cannot make much money from tiny homes so laws and codes are enacted to make it difficult, if not imposdible.

[@jennyc1846]

@@allie1953 yep its all about the almighty dollar..they dont care about the little people...

[@Kelly_Ben]

There's another side here in America. It is about the dollar, but not how you think. I live in a small town. Someone proposed a nice trailer park, and we all said no. The taxes paid on less expensive homes are obviously lower, one of the benefits to the owners. However, adding more homes would require another addition to our elementary school and a larger contract to bus to the nearby high school. If it was a 55+ park, it would require our tiny volunteer fire/ems to expand to full time. The taxes paid by the new smaller, less expensive homes requiring these things wouldn't be covered by those new homes. New roads to pave and maintain (Lots of snow and ice here.) A bulk of the costs would be shouldered by the citizens already paying a choking amount of taxes, who are satisfied with the current level of services. I agree restrictions need to be eased, but it has to be done in a smart way that doesn't benefit some and hurt others. The conversation needs to be started in town meetings all around the country.

[@GoshTasha]

Yes! A tiny house bathroom with women self care products in mind lol. I love seeing women designing tiny homes, it just hits differently. My girlfriend and I currently have been living in a 24' x 8.5' tiny for over 1 year designed by men, it's decent but they could have designed the space much better but we rent so now we know what we like so when we build our own we know exactly what we need, thanks for sharing!

[@MagdalenaMantler]

What an amazing tiny home those two women built, and most of it with recycled materials. I just love that. And it feels really warm and welcoming and fits their characters so much.

[@supersonicdevin3212]

You always give the best home tours. Seeing all the cool unique places, you have been inspiring me for years! Thank you Bryce for doing such a great job finding and sharing these beautiful homes.

Such a gorgeous home and a lovely couple. I really love the bookshelf and ladder situation … can’t wait to see an update when they move their home up to their new property 😊

[@allie1953]

I have seen that type of arrangement elsewhere- a book case on a ledge reached by a rolling ladder- and it worked out well and looked really nice. I might try to do something like that in our build.

[@mandyellis876]

Fantastic job! Fair play to the girls for building themselves a character tiny home!

[@gildaolsen2888]

Amazing, so you young and so responsible. They already have a house, land, and future projects. They have a bright future ahead free of debts, mortgages, rents, etc. 😊

[@cannavaras]

Nice to see all the different styles recently. I'll go put the kettle on. Hope you are both well Rasa and Bryce! ❤

[@livingbig]

Thanks Andy! We are both doing great. Really enjoying being back in Australia. It's much warmer and way less rainy that New Zealand, so we are enjoying the break! We hope you enjoy this episode!

[@semistructured]

The fact that they designed and built it themselves makes the house so beautiful, cozy, and have so much character. They also just seem like really lovely people and I wanna be their friend ❤

[@cakeshoe]

Testament to the fact that anyone can DIY it (erm... with plumber and electrician friends ;) ) And despite the fact that this was their first major project, they have created a really beautiful living space -- a real home! Well done, girls! You deserve to be proud of your creation.

[@kayboath2468]

Absolutely gorgeous home the girls and family have created, and their new plot looks stunning. Wishing them all the best for their next chapter ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

This is such a fantastic movement and it's made even better by using reclaimed materials and second hand items. Would love to see this take off all over the world.

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

Land or parking in the US is a HUGE problem. Most states don't allow tiny houses. If it is "RV" certified, you might (if lucky) get to park it in an RV park. Even if you own your own land in the US, you are NOT allowed to live in a THOW on your own Land!

[@buzzawuzza3743]

@@jeanetteshawredden5643 High time we changed those laws.

I can't wait to see what they do with their next place and if that was their block you showed Bryce it looks stunning. I do hope you do a follow-up. BTW apologies to Rasa and Bryce, on several videos I have said I love the content but it was a shame the pictures were so blurry... turned out it was our reception in our new rental...I wish someone had come back to me to say there was no problem with the picture...we now have NBN and the picture is fantastic.

We haven’t seen a tiny with the entrance at the end for a while. It really is a great design for being able to utilise more wall space inside. This home seemed bigger on the inside as it is so well designed. Loved the bathroom design. The extra deck and pergola area would be essential I think. Well done girls! You are both a total inspiration. 🩷🩷

[@elysabethpoodle6234]

These women should give themselves a big pat on the back for how much they managed to fit in this tiny house. It's designed really well and even having stairs rather than a straight up ladder to reach the bedroom even if the stairs are a bit narrow is so important in my eyes. The little amount cost wise to build this is also amazing. These women live in my city too btw. They really have done so well all round - I'm impressed.
