Remodeling a Tiny House on a Budget - Beach Cabin Living - How We made a small bathroom feel larger

Learn how to remodel a tiny house with us. We make our small bathroom feel larger by opening the ceiling and replacing the shower surround. Insulating pipes under the house is easy and quick while Pete is upstairs doing some plumbing to move the drain line for our bathroom vanity and sink. We also take some time on the beach to learn how to catch crab with a fishing pole. It's a success!
We bought a 1960s fully furnished Oregon fisherman's beach cabin! A retro time capsule with beautiful tongue and groove beamed ceilings and stunning Pacific Ocean views. Join us as we demo and remodel this vintage tiny cabin to create our dream Pacific Northwest retreat.

We bought a gazebo ( made in China) and it said it would take 6 people 8 hours to assemble .... it took 2 senior citizens 4 hours. Kind of proud.

[@VintageBombshell]

You should be proud! Great job 👏🏼

[@lisaallenbrennan4831]

I love it! Especially since I'm now a senior citizen! lol

[@user-mx3fr9ny1d]

Happiness is...watching Selena & Pete renovate their cottage

[@luvnalaska44]

Yes!

[@maumau1958]

YES

[@carolackerson7281]

You are sooooo lucky to have a husband like Pete. He took all that extra effort to correct the bathroom sink plumbing. My husband would have said ' sorry babe..your not going to have a cabinet drawer. ' lol

[@judydee7644]

Pete has really gotten into this filming stuff! Who would have guessed?

[@jeweledmirrorqueen]

All I can say is that you are so blessed from your personality to your beach cottage to your husband. You overcame the bad things in life with courage and strength and rewarded with blessings! I’m a little older than you and struggling with the bad things in life like you did and hopefully I’ll be rewarded as well. So happy for you!!

[@tammymurphy2707]

Take good care❤

My Husband always says, The Things You Do For Love." Selena, Pete loves you, he really truly loves you. You two work great together. A beautiful partnership of love respect & fun. It doesn't get any better than that.

[@dianeschenkelberg8270]

You and Pete are so cute together. When you completed the "hall tree" and he came over to you and picked you up to celebrate, OMG!

[@roxannbowker6052]

I love how much Pete loves you

[@plaidpaisley5918]

How lucky and blessed are you to have a handy husband!!

[@Jennifer62389]

The tall cabinet in the living room looks real nice.

[@debbiehines6803]

I'm so impressed that you and Pete have done all this together. My husband and I would kill each other if we tried to do a fraction of these things together. God bless you both.

[@linamixon2284]

The cottage is looking so cozy, lught abd airy. You guys are doing a great job. You are so blessed to have a handyman like Pete, and he's also easy on the eyes. He is a romantic guy who displays his love for you. Keep up the good work. Watching you lifts my spirits, and makes me smile

[@queens6583]

My thoughts exactly. I'd be divorced! LOL

[@elizabethwhite196]

Haha! I think I’ve told Selena the same thing in a previous comment! Yep, life can be sweeter with the right attitude. Will we ever learn?haha!❤

[@wandadelacruz2486]

😂😂 I would have strangled my hubby already. He’s layback and I’m go, go ,go

[@sharongates6142]

Isn’t it strange that we feel so connected to both of you and we really don’t know you. We are rooting for you with each video. It’s really looking good. 🎉🎉🎉

[@VintageBombshell]

You have no idea how much this means to us both ❤️

[@jennifercesario9238]

The bathroom vanity is absolutely gorgeous!❤ Also I cannot get over how perfectly the bench/cabinet goes in the entryway! Everything is coming together so nicely! You and Pete Make such a great team, I just love how well the two of you work together! These videos are truly a joy to watch! Thank you so much for taking us along on this journey with you, it's so fun!!! ❤️

[@shirleyhenry4127]

My husband is handy at any type of repair or new build. We are so lucky to both have a wonderful husbands. We also work together and we are now 74 and 76 so we have been together for 56 years. Happiness is having someone who you love and can grow old with so enjoy. We bought a lake house 15 years ago and the work never stops but we enjoy the work and seeing what you create. We are always improving. Love watching you both so glad to see Pete and your mom and dad.

[@misslindalou6479]

I appreciate that you cite each song and singer.

[@lindafrance9192]

I love that you now have started adding that to your videos. Thank you.

[@missybekind5022]

I have been meaning to tell you that also. 🎶 ❤

[@beckybox2596]

My husband would have said, “take it back” Pete has many skills one of which is being patient. ❤❤ I love that white cabinet, it’s perfect.

[@debrawalls6467]

No matter how I feel you always make my day brighter and better. Your infectious laugh, easy going music, playing with your family on the beach, catching your great big crab to doing money saving diy’s--I feel so much better! Anxiously awaiting your next video ❤😊

[@roxanneboley178]

Me (screaming through screen) "Don't fall apart, Pete! You've come too far!" ❤

[@user-db5km3ro8q]

I love watching you and your husband. You are such a lovely person. I love the way you put your videos together with the music and scenery and everything. Right now I’m watching you and enjoying myself. It’s so peaceful to watch your videos. I love when you’re with your mom too. She’s such a fun person. God bless you.❤

[@user-py1jy7qf8b]

This is going to be the fanciest little house in the woods. The fishermen are living the life. So glad for your happiness.😊

[@teresahansen2270]

It’s good to see there is a man out there who is patient and has a positive attitude to home improvement. It is nonexistent in our home. Love that dinning room set I seen in the back ground.

[@barbaraweiss3119]

Your videos are the most professional and beautiful of any I have seen. Pete and Selena are STARS!

[@teresadawson1351]

Enjoying seeing more of Pete's personality!

[@joellenmeek658]

My husband is like Pete. I could change the furniture around and it would take him forever to notice. But I have to say he and Pete are great guys.

[@carried1113]

The transformation so far looks amazing. And, the change in Pete…he appears so much more comfortable in the vlogs. Love watching you two!

[@luvnalaska44]

Such fun watching two lovely people working towards a common goal with love and respect. Always a joy seeing what you’re tackling next.

This was a wonderful look at all you have done to your Cabin on the Beach. You both work so well together. Looks wonderful. Can't wait to see more!!

[@arlenechasteney2984]

I absolutely love watching you two interact - such kindness and obvious love. Watching you helps somuch with my depression/anxiety. Andof course your wonderful projects and decorating skills.

[@user-gz2hq8tc9n]

You go girl! You will crab tonight. Good job Pete. I look forward to yours videos. Look at the lady plumber. You all are so much fun. Hello from Sparks, Nevada😊

I adore, watching U2 together. You generously have so much fun together. Your little cottage is coming along, so wonderfully can’t wait for the next episode!

[@nitahiltner3348]

I couldn't eat that old crab, let him live out his life. I like that little bush the dog found, I'd put it on a shelf. I LOVE that entry cabinet and those chairs at the dining table!!!

[@kebergify]

Pete is like a mythical unicorn husband...not gonna lie. My husband would not have redone the plumbing for a drawer like he did. And mine would not have been nice when I asked questions on how to do things. You found a gem, Selena! Love to watch you guys work together!

[@barbarashelton6709]

So happy to see you two at the cabin today!! THANK YOU!! Every thing is coming together so nice, the fire look so warm and cozy!

[@leoniemackenzie8557]

Ahh I hope we get to see the fridge on the new cabinet after all your hard lifting Pete. 👍for the longer videos. ❤

You and Pete work so good together. I love what I can see of your dining table. So beautiful. Your cabin is amazing

[@gabbott944]

Love your videos at the Beach house ❤California

[@dwagnerful]

Wouldn't it have been easier to cut a piece out of the cabinet and modify the drawer? You'd lose a bit of drawer space but, boy, that was a lot of work! The cabin is looking really nice! 😊

[@LindaKayHolevas]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! All of that work for a drawer, ha ha. Bless Pete’s heart, doing all of that so Selena has a drawer in the bathroom 😊❤️

[@arlenekeith6235]

I found myself smiling the entire length of the video. The two of you work so well together. Things are coming along nicely. Love you both 😘

Selena I love the way you snort when you giggle so much. I say you two are so awesome. Look everyday for a new video.

[@ehpeachylove]

I was away due to my mother passing and I’m just finally able to catch up on videos I’ve missed. Your hair looks amazing . I love watching the process of the beach house that is going on and it’s looking so much better from the first day we were shown the place. I love the beautiful beach scenes, the joy you both have getting crabs and other sea food fresh from the ocean. I like that you’re both so authentic and share that it’s not always fun too. You both are such a lovely couple. Love the pooch too and so does my dog Lilly Rose.

[@deolindarhoads5381]

You are blessed, most husbands would have said new vanity, that's a lot of work Pete's doing in that bathroom. Lucky

[@kathleentinley7261]

The love storage, I mean the coat, shoe storage matches perfectly. Looks great!

[@sissmith2750]

You need that big chunk of driftwood, or should I say drift tree, in your front yard! 😉 It's beautiful!

[@eileenfh7834]

Are you going to name your cottage?! You are both so talented and patient with the renovation. It’s looking good and the entryway storage unit adds to the cozy cottage charm. Love the beach scenes as well as the music selections. ❤️

[@roymavistanner8399]

Loved every minute of watching this video! Great progress and kudo's to you for your plumbing talents Serena!!! My husband would probably have said to heck with the drawer and shelf in the bathroom and/or just "McIver cut" the drawer and shelf to fit around the floor pipes (then McIver something on the cut drawer so things wouldn't fall through the back....like flexible plastic stapled or glued on!) Pete did it the RIGHT way! Love the music you choose for your video's too! 😊 ~~M~~
