Semi-Retired Woman's 24' Craftsman Tiny Home n Coastal Tiny Community

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Beth lives part-time in her beautiful 250 sqft tiny house with a downstairs bedroom at Tiny Tranquility. She loves tiny home community life, especially being just a block away from the ocean--her happy place. She splits her time (for now) between the Oregon Coast & Long Island, NY, where she has a 1000 sqft home/office for her acupuncture business. 👉🌊🏘️ *Her builder, TruForm Tiny shares building insights & a tour of their new park model tiny house:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJbFhmqAq8ZnjKs

[@robthorne]

great house and great video, well done to both of you: specifically the up and down blinds are brilliant, where do you get these please?

[@graceaxisa4213]

What a delightful owner! I really enjoyed Beth's commentary. Right from the beginning, she had me hooked with her soothing voice, interesting descriptions and humorous add ons. Her house is gorgeous. Absolutely perfect! Stay safe and well, Beth. You're living the dream!

[@padelicious9093]

That’s nice of you :) I agree

TY for your tour!!!

[@donnapiraino3323]

I completely agree

[@shendaraalshedir1933]

Agreed!👍🇨🇦

[@MsK-xm7vw]

I too love the design of this tiny house. As more and more of us are becoming 'Wise Women', we are looking at Tiny Homes; but, we DON'T WANT to crawl into lofts on all fours. It's nice to see that some designer's are beginning to design Tiny Homes that are both beautiful and realistically livable. 🏡

[@nelliehagen5267]

Also the fact that if Beth doesn’t want to do stair’s and sleep in the loft she can sleep downstairs.Nice

[@lucygray6162]

Finally, one ground floor bed AND a loft bed. And a bathroom that has some privacy from both parties in the middle of the night. I love the simplicity of this place, and Beth seems like someone I'd want to hang around with on that deck (with some coffee). The little house gave me a sense of contentment, lovely design. Best wishes to Beth on her coastal living.

[@magdalenepoh1561]

Congrats Beth for your tiny and cosy house!. I like your use of space. Everything looks comfortable n functional. I like that you can admire the sunrise from your room. God bless your house!

[@AgentCathy]

I thought she was super cool too.

[@jennyjolivet9430]

I agree with all of that!

[@kentuckylucky5762]

Awesome!! Love the downstairs...only thing for me a slightly bigger bathroom.. Or add a hot tub outside.

[@flowerchild8198]

Yes! Love the ground floor bed + cozy loft. You could really be comfortable there. It had everything you could need.

[@josetorres-kg5eq]

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

[@sumar207]

I think this is the nicest tiny home I’ve seen so far; and the woman that lives there is an excellent ambassador for the home and the lifestyle.

[@monicajohnston8364]

That is a beautiful, thoughtfully designed tiny home. So many smart details. The bonus roll-out counter over the washer is genius! I want a matching unit, parked next door to Beth because she looks like she would be a great neighbor.

[@DonnaPiaVocci]

same. coffee on the deck and plenty of outdoor fun hiking and strolling the beach. feeling more relaxed already.

[@RUserious63]

Beth is living in my dream house in my dream location. I am 58 years old and changing my life up next year. I already know that I want to be in Oregon and seeing this tiny home community has sold me on the tiny home. I am getting online right now to check it all out. Thanks for sharing.

[@AllyMcFancysp1xn]

I hope you made it to Oregon!

[@CowboyBike06]

Tiny homes just keep getting better and more innovative. I absolutely love Beth’s home!! It feels comfortable and cozy.

[@dominicdelacruz4572]

I've seen a lot of tiny houses before but this appeals to me a lot. The house is so well-designed that I would live there in a heartbeat. She's indeed living the dream. I wish I could spend my retirement years just like her. ♥️

[@tehopanas]

Me too...😍

[@MsCloudcomputer]

[@pinkhangerpresents]

[@valerielove9837]

I agree.

[@mdee860]

Me too, this is the most livable one I've seen. Wondering if loft area would accommodate a long table for art projects?

[@TheCrazyChameleon]

I pretty much decided to build myself a tiny house. I've been looking at videos a couple weeks now. I've lost track of how many homes I reviewed. If I had to pick a winner this is it. Also, Beth is absolutely delightful.

[@Dovietail]

I've watched probably a 100 of these videos, but what strikes me about this one beyond the lovely house is this a lady I would really enjoy having coffee with once a week. That tiny house neighborhoods are so warm and welcoming is something I hadn't really counted on but am so happy to see developing.

[@sandrabrooks1478]

Love it. Yes, a 1,000 sq. ft. home takes more work. A Tiny is freeing for your life.

[@Corolrose1218]

It’s a really nice tiny home. I really like the sleeping alcove downstairs. It sounds the the owner has found her perfect place. I’m glad she is happy. That’s what it’s all about in the long run.

[@bigskiesmontana7267]

The best part of aging is that you get to a point where you know exactly what works for you and what doesn't. Loved the effortless walk through description and the honesty. I watch all tiny home videos and this is absolutely one of the most beautiful and pleasing to me. I am 62, take care of 5 acres close to Glacier and I'm ready for my next phase. I love your community and hope to find the same kind of peace and beauty. After spending my life at sea, I need the ocean too. Thank you Beth for the inspiration! Cheers

[@valerielove9837]

I agree. The effortless and honesty was the best. When I have watched most others talking about their tiny I sometimes have to shut of the volume and just look at the house and fast forward. With her I did not have to.

Great design and use of storage. I stayed at Tiny Tranquility a few weeks ago and loved the concept. It's a blueprint for other tiny home communities.

[@shess1640]

I have enjoyed watching her and seeing all her choices. They really resonate with me. I also live bi-coastally …(NYC and SF) in smallish homes/apts. Now she’s got me rethinking that tiny home fantasy I often have. She’s a gem. So practical with a true appreciation for craft and style! If I see her, I’ll offer to buy her a cup of coffee.

[@PossumLady8262]

Loved Beth’s commentary through out her tour. This is a lady who obviously has a great sense of humor. She reminded me so much of my late aunt who loved being outdoors, extremely active, laughed all the time and was so much fun to be with. Her home is beautiful! I loved the fact she gave the company who built her tiny house a second chance…because look what she ended up with! I wish her the very best.

Coolest house 🏠ever. So is Beth

[@TheCaitling]

Beth's bed is so cool! It reminds me of the structures around beds in houses from a few hundred years ago - how the bed is its own little enclosed spot with woodwork etc around it. Also, I am an acupuncturist and I went Oh! when you mentioned she is an acupuncturist. I can 100% envision her treating and I bet her patients love her.

I've seen so many tiny houses in the last 3 years but this one has a special charm. The subtle decorative items, the mix of pine and white, the railing, the downstairs bed and the blinds. Wow 👏, I think I've found the design for my retirement. Now if only we had tiny house communities in Canada 😔

[@helentaylor7132]

All around perfect tiny home!! Beth and I have beach need, kayaking, hiking and dog love in common. My great grandparents lived in on Long Island. Since I live in PA, don't have ready access to the beach, but found a local spot on the Susquehanna river with craggy rocks and a coal-sand beach below to sustain me. I know not a thing about acupuncture though. Felt an instant kinship with her. The lovely kitchen back splash reminds me of pale green beach glass....

I really like the tiny home and Beth! She seems to have a great common sense approach to her decisions. I like that she made choices for her for example the chair instead of the bench seat. The bench seats never look comfortable. I like all of the color choices, the glass tile in the kitchen was really pretty. I love that tile. I really like the day bed downstairs, and the option of the other bed upstairs. I really just like every single thing about it. The outside of the home looks great too. Seems like things are working out great for her. The back and forth travel would be a pain, but some people don't mind that at all.
