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

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

[@luvnalaska44]

Yes!

[@maumau1958]

YES

[@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!!

[@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

[@maryallen1017]

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.

[@judydee7644]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@plaidpaisley5918]

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

[@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!!! ❤️

[@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 ❤️

[@Jennifer62389]

The tall cabinet in the living room looks real nice.

[@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 ❤😊

[@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. 🎶 ❤

[@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

[@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.

[@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.❤

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@debbiejohnson6909]

So happy you finally got Peter involved in your video world, you couldn't as for a cuter more pleasant human to do them with (besides your momma)! Love your music choices, love your love of your fur baby and salamanders, love the views, I love everything about this series and hope it never ends. You are basically living my dream, so carry on, don't worry be happy!

[@maryjohnson1609]

I look forward to your show every week. You and your family are so fantastic and adding Pete has been great. You’re sweet couple. I wish you had a daily show…. Love Milly ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@debracoverston5464]

I love your dining room table and chairs! Can’t to see when you get it all decorated. The new cabinet looks awesome.

[@ArleneSteinburg]

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!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@rfranksensey]

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!

[@queens6583]

Yes, Pete we do like long videos showing all the stuff. You two are amazing and Selena is the energizer bunny.

[@susierivera5234]

You and hubby are so blessed to have each other 😊❤God bless 😘

[@debrabray8855]

I need another hour of this.😊 Millie finally looks relaxed and at home now that you got her some furniture and blankies.❤

[@barbarashelton6709]

I know Millie will be glad when all the working noise is done. She looks like "please just sit down and be quiet". LOL. The house is really turning into your home. Love it!!

[@VintageBombshell]

Haha that’s exactly what she’s thinking 🤣

[@debbiechaney6607]

[@terrybarbato1672]

I worked beside my husband for all our projects. I’ve missed that in my life. Watching you 2 brings back those memories.

[@bethperkins6698]

Chang my outfit and change my attitude… love it!

[@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!!!

[@maryannwhitten5123]

Pete is such a great & handsome fella, you are a beautiful & lucky lady!

[@user-pm4xk5nl4s]

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

I love the “Petelena” getaway house. It gets more beautiful as you make it your own. I’m so glad you found this place. 🥰

[@wandadelacruz2486]

You both have a such a wicked sense of humor that I absolutely adore. Love how the everything is coming together ❤

[@karenhanley3912]

That tall white cabinet is exquisite!

[@barbarafrancis533]

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.

[@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 😊❤️

[@pamheath7184]

Oh, I cracked up. I live in a mobile home and I do the stuff shuffle. Lol, I love it. The lakehouse is looking great. Glad to see Pete talking to us too. Great show.

[@chickcastiello1362]

S&P. Your life is so blessed. Parents in good health and close enough. Not afraid to work hard for a great life. Succeeding. Your love is so evident and we are so enjoying watching so thanks for the sharing the journey with us. Linda again.

[@joannekendall8531]

Livin the life. I cry tears of joy for you. This is the dream. You both so deserve all the joy and happiness that this beautiful new home is bringing you. It's my 69th birthday today and I will never have the joy of being with someone as wonderful as you two have together, but I am living vicariously through you both and was overcome with joy to see this video today on my birthday. Thank you and know what great joy you have given to me. God bless you both.❤😊

[@kimproffer9456]

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

[@anitafuller2816]

You seem to have a very nice budget. Lots of people can't afford even one house.

[@lisawhittaker6551]

I think the cabinet should be renamed "the mud room" 😊

Oh my gosh! Pete is so good to you! I would've had to go find another cabinet!😂 All the best to you both!❤❤❤

[@wrennknits6048]

The ending had me laughing so hard!! You guys are so fun😊

[@Kate42]

Great marriage! That's what I have to say today. You two are amazing!❤❤

[@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~~

[@dfletcher7803]

I am so 💚🟩🟢 green with envy! Love you guys. Everything is so quaint and beautiful, down to the music.

[@evawohl2572]
