[@ernestinasanchez5305]

A very beautiful and useful tiny home. I really like it. Wish more cities would allow to have them within their "city limits". I would happily replace my 2 story old "barn style" home for one of these. 🏡 ❤

[@rhondapelletier2141]

I’m in Connecticut and they will not allow tiny houses

[@mcdibbern9919]

Lovely home. So sensible to have a bedroom on the ground floor which means you can really age in place. May she be happy wherever she is!

[@bernadettedevereaux8694]

I’ve watch a zillion tiny home videos but this one stands miles above the others. This is the first and only time I’ve seen a bed with enough room on both sides for ease in making up the bed. I adore that fact that she can stand fully in her bedroom. She is also the only owner who has a wardrobe of more than jeans, t shirts and boots. There is only one thing lacking that would make this home completely perfect, that is a handrail for the stairs. What a gem of a house!

[@cassiekay8633]

Agree with everything you said ....and having slipped off some stairs and still paying the price 3 years later I'm with you ; a hand rail on stairs is a safety must !

[@Melissa-yi6hx]

You are exactly right! Charming and lovely and efficient .

[@jacijune]

you haven't seen enough of them then. They are others where you can stand and move around the bedroom. And no stairs. Usually it's the gooseneck trailer builds.

[@catherinebutler3003]

@@jacijune I was thinking the same thing. I’ve watched many many videos of beautiful spacious tiny homes like this one and even more nice features. I really like this one as well and agree with the previous commenter about a railing because I have fallen down a flight of 15 stairs when pregnant. Later when looking for a house, I didn’t want a basement or stairs and was very specific about other things with the house when I prayed. Till this day I’m still very grateful that my Heavenly Father blessed me with what I asked for. 🙏🏾❤️

I'm a single mother living in CA. Been working so hard so I can retire at 50 if things keep going well for me. Bought my first condo this month and I can't be more proud than I am right now. I'm so glad I made good decisions about my finances that changed me forever.

Hey, I’m super proud of you. I wish you can take your time to give me a little guide on how to fix my finances. I’m in a mess right now and any tip from you would really go a long way.

[@GeorgeJeffers681]

Hey sweetie. Apparently, I used the FIRE movement to put my finances in shape. You can research more about it. Then, lnvested in stocks, crypto-currencies and real estates crowdfunding through the assistance of an lnvestment pro I was able to achieve a lot.

[@Bess9779]

It's interesting that I can look at Tiny Houses designed by younger folks & it doesn't feel like it would quite work, but when I see one designed by someone's my age range, they always are designed perfectly. It has to do with space around a bed & comfy couches. LOL.

[@tennparker1]

It is not uncommon find things that are presented as functional and innovative to lack the comfort factor. Like sure, that couch looks great there and fits well but it looks like it would be as comfortable as sitting on a stack of cinder blocks.

[@lavernepuller3080]

Such a nice tiny home! I love the fact that it has a downstairs bedroom, the whole place seems bigger than it actually is. In the bedroom, I'd suggest replacing the overhead light with a nice ceiling fan, which, with a flip of a switch, helps with the air in the summer, and the heat in the colder months. Enjoy your home!

[@DawnOldham]

Yes! And there are so many interesting styles now.

[@LaLadybug2011]

Yes! Hope she sees this comment. Heat rises in the winter and with those tall ceilings, the heat is quickly rising up there-a fan turned to the right setting pushes that warm air back down. I bought my 1940 home with 10' ceilings 20 years ago and the ceiling fans had just been installed - bedrooms, and both living rooms. I have never turned any of them off in 20 years. I just flip the little switch two times a year. I have changed the glass shades on them to keep them "current." Best investment ever!

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

@@LaLadybug2011 Good info ! Thanks 👍

[@Robot_Cajun]

I have a fan that can be controlled by a remote…which means you can reverse the fan’s direction by pressing a button. I’ve had this fan for almost 20 years, though, and the buttons on the remote control have gotten a little soft and harder to make that connection over time. That would be my major concern about installing a fan on such a high ceiling. Maybe modern fans feature both a switch on the fan as well as the remote control, so if one becomes too difficult to operate, you have the other option? Regardless though, I agree. I would install a fan, make sure it has a remote control and hopefully manual switch, and at least get several years of operation before having to worry about any failure.

[@Emg2463]

That's one of the nicest little homes I've seen.

[@CK1000ism]

For those asking, she said she spent $137,000 on the house and it cost about $15,000 to prepare the utilities on the land. She didn't mention land cost.

Land on Whidbey can be pretty expensive, though more in the south than in the north. The video didn't say what town she was in.

I was here to see if someone commented on the price. She could have bought a regular home.

[@norarivkis2513]

I absolutely love her home and whidbey island is a great location. Good to know they allow tiny homes. Her interior is beautiful and functional and perfect for a tiny home.

[@wownewstome6123]

Careful, she didn't explicitly say that. There is a chance it was allowed as a temporary dwelling while a house on a foundation is built on the site. Maybe as a way to keep the building site safe. I do realize she said she was getting a pre-fab house, by the way.

All across America there are post WW2 small homes built on foundation and many with basements, these small homes are under 1,000 sq ft and are in average working communities. The security of having a basement when a Tornado rolls by or even the fact that these post WW2 homes are more secure this is where I would be if I was single and retired. IDK why more people just don't consider the post war cottages.
