Single Mom Takes On Tiny Living To Break Free From High Costs In The City

[@smartmouth0457]

Usually when parents downsize, they don’t prioritize a private space for their kids. It makes me happy to see that she gave her son his own space, and not just a cubby.

[@jenniferromero571]

Thats a boy. Gotta be the hair. Exactly why boys shouldnt have long hair.

[@labab1048]

Oh it’s a boy

[@mindy777-n2f]

Just so everyone knows- the birds and cats are rescue animals. And they go outside everyday. I have a catio for them. 🙌🏼🙏💕

[@erinbrown6962]

God bless you for rescuing them! I love your home 🏡!! It is beautiful!!! I think this is the best layout I have seen. God bless!❤

[@GrummanIsComin]

Wallpapering your refrigerator is an awesome idea. Your big 😊 tiny house looks amazing.

[@imusthavethemountains_]

Your home is beautiful!

[@raidenstark315]

How you doing

[@rhondaillar3906]

I love your home

[@sharlenedegazon-legay9746]

This is by far one of the best tiny houses that I have seen. It checks all the boxes,size,comfort, and beauty!❤❤❤

[@jenniferromero571]

This is not a tiny home. This is a huge trailer.

[@TricriForever]

Mom is so loving giving her son the bedroom on the ground floor. I feel the same way and think it was a good move giving an area of space to call his own and to allow for that sleepover with friends when the time comes. I’m so happy for them but so upset with the circumstances in our country and the economy that has pushed hard working citizens out of the housing market and has made them seek other alternatives in order to live. This mother said something similar to what my aunt told me a number of years back and has stuck with me since “ the way you’ve done things here isn’t wrong sweetie it’s just a different way “ . This after being told how wrong I was I so appreciated that and hearing this lady say something similar made me smile. Best of luck to her and her son, they seem very delightful.

[@ErinRipka]

This is a beautiful tiny house. Your son is a talented artist and seems like a really sweet kid. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

[@BeckBeckGo]

That child is quite intelligent.

[@PenPalJohn]

The altar made me almost cry. This family of two is really special. Beyond the home… this mother is a really special person. What a wholesome story. Thank you for showing this to me KZbin!

[@mindy777-n2f]

Thank you. What a kind response. 🙏

[@Beachlifeforever-vx9bz]

I loved the altar it was so special,this home is beautiful and a perfect fit for mom and son. ❤️🙏🏼

[@adrianarnold1239]

I love your son, 's confidence and his ability to say what he likes and he's still a kid, very boyish and likes to do boy stuff so refreshing... Great job Mom!❤❤❤

[@janinepettit2019]

What a sweet well spoken little boy and a cheerful home.

[@jnhosier3]

I wasn't going to watch this video, I thought of just another tiny..... But the size, layout and use of space are wonderful. Great design.

[@Maymeganjade13]

Ur little boy is so full of life and has a good personality wow good job mama !

[@camarojai6832]

I love this home. And she’s raising such a little man. I love when children find the things that really bring them joy 😊

[@concettamiller1360]

My favorite tiny home. Gorgeous and spacious.

[@DonnaKWeaverAuthor]

I like the idea of making all items have at least two uses.

[@briana14333]

Yes! I’m not living tiny YET, but I’m going to adopt this policy so I’ll be ready when the time comes.

[@uteme]

I do this in my full size house...♡

[@annabluhm8214]

Love your spacious & bright, lovely home. It feels so peaceful! Chase seems so intelligent & articulate.

[@Sheila-wb7rt]

Good for U both

[@barbaraadelman2391]

Gorgeous home! Can't believe it's only 399 SF....seems so much larger and doesn't appear as if you're missing anything. So impressed. 😀

[@tanastoiberg7981]

I agree. This would be my dream home if i could afford to buy something. Lots of space and open land for a tiny home. 🏠

[@SueP-jg9vx]

cuz its 2 floors knida

[@rose-marie7351]

This tiny home is better than my city apartment, well done! More expensive than others but very nice.

[@Sbj24]

What a wonderful son! I have a 10 year old boy as well, it’s such a sweet age 🩷 I love your tiny home!

[@luvyatubers]

The decorating of the interior makes it such a great looking home

[@staceyp434]

I absolutely love the layout. It looks huge in there. I look at thousands of tiny homes. This one is incredible. I’m proud of you Mom for giving your son a home. He’s a sweetheart very secure and what he likes and what he doesn’t like. I can’t believe the lot rent is $1000 thoughthat seems so high and you know the lot rent gonna keep going up you’re gonna have to have a side hustle

[@sylvanramble1757]

This is the nicest designed and decorated tiny home I have seen on KZbin or in person. You hit the jackpot! I am very happy for you.

[@pacificnorthwestgirl2725]

This is a really nice tiny home and I like her decorating style. :)

[@lyfandeth]

Cody, that's called a trundle bed. I grew up on one. Except it had a steel frame, and if flipped a lever, thst came up to full bed height. They used to be very popular. Very nice interior, sounds very reasonable in today's housing market, too!

[@SueP-jg9vx]

i am gonna buy one of those that have legs you can fold out to make a queen bed when you need one. Seems ideal

[@loriurban1070]

Soooo cozy!!!! And good job, mom…your son is amazing!

[@rogertemple7193]

They live in a very nice tiny home and it is awesome especially on the inside and this is the ultimate tiny house thank you. 🇺🇲🏡🏡🇺🇲

[@DeeMontezx1]

Beautiful! So cozy and clean! Great job! He's lucky to have such a lovely mom!

[@valynteena]

Great house and design. I loved how you attributed your finding out about this property to being a gift from God cos the way everything worked out for you shows it truly is.

[@rhonda6791]

Your home is so spacious, it doesn’t feel like a tiny home. Well done!!

[@quietestkitten]

I love that very simple loft bedroom. Not complicated. It has enough space for a bed and storage. A lovely place to simply lie down and relax

[@lulzhh5177]

I would love a home like this. Because tiny but yours is everything.

[@seattlegirl2077]

'Everything needs two uses to stay"... towel storage doubles as cat bed!

[@cindee1794]

I have 3 cats - that was my favorite part. 😁

[@janicesullivan8942]

That was cute to see the cat there.

[@amabla975]

😻😻😻

[@BeckBeckGo]

Oh at least two uses. Because many other things in the home can do double duty.

[@CAM-wk3dj]

Excellent advice❤️

[@xjxy1213]

One of the most beautiful tiny houses i’ve ever seen!

[@weston.weston]

Your home is beautiful, thank you for sharing the Little Lotus with us.

[@jdee1891]

Please ignore the haters. All the best to you and your son. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

[@SueP-jg9vx]

i didnt see any haters??

[@-greentoad]

What haters are there??

[@cathyconway-archer3476]

A beautiful home for you and your talented son. BEST wishes to you !😊

[@bonnies9861]

What a great family you are! Your tiny home is beautiful, as are you and your son. The layout is great - you seem to have everything you need. Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.

[@lunabear4195]

This house is so cute. A lot of tiny homes have so much character compared to a “regular” size home usually they are so bland inside with no life to them.

[@rtyria]

Didn't used to be that way. A lot of old houses are full of character.

[@hopehamby9287]

Love your layout!!! And what a cool kid!!! He's definitely going to go places!!! ❤😊

[@ТатьянаБорисова-ъ5ь1о]

Великолепная атмосфера дома. Атмосфера релакса и уюта. В нем хочется жить. Дом продуман до мелочей и эти многофункциональные "штучки" в виде табуретка, который превращается в столик и кофейного столика, который вдруг становится полноценным рабочим местом - всё это полезные изюминки дома. Мне очень понравился выпуск. Счастья этой милой семье.

[@xraydemo4157]

This is such a beautiful home 💚 I had no idea spacious tiny homes were even possible. Thank you for sharing this.

[@sandraburruspropertygroup]

Love your tiny! I’ve lived in my tiny for 7 months…best decision I’ve ever made. I love it!!

[@JulyMoon82]

Very nice tiny home. The bathroom is great! So is the kitchen. This house has a great layout that is very functional.

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Thankyou for sharing your tiny home~ you have a lovely home. Neither of you seem to want for anything.

[@vickytimmerman1365]

Your son is absolutely adorable, having lived in California Southern California for 30 years, you're comparing everything to living in California many many homes fit a full size king size bed

[@NosyHausfrau]

What a great space and what a great mom. For me, that "place for everything and everything in its place" mentality is more important than space.

[@sira451]

I love your home and would love to know who makes this model. As a single, senior female, I am desperate to downsize and have less financial responsibilities from having a large home. Your video is truly inspiring! Thank you!!

[@heatherdavidson8801]

I loved watching this. Funny informative & downright delightful! 😊. Thank you. Fantastic home you two have built.

[@robertg92103r]

Hi Mindy. This is Robert. We met yesterday at The Redwing on Saturday. Thank you for the positive energy you exude and your wonderful sense in fashion (those yellow shorts!). I love your tiny home and you have a terrific eye for decorating. It's so beautiful. It's given me some ideas for when I move to a brand new renovated unit downstairs. Peace and blessings to you and your wonderful son.

[@mindy777-n2f]

Hi Robert! Thank you. It was lovely meeting you. And your polka dot shorts were amazing!!!! 🎉

[@salscycleshop3416]

What a great layout! Beautiful

What a cozy tiny home and so attractively decorated 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻

[@briana14333]

Adorable little home and family! I especially like the bathroom and the color scheme in the living space. All very cozy and pretty. Well done✨

[@RD-vo5vq]

Mom gets to feel like a kid again in her loft. I’d love a loft to turn into a Movie watching room. I really wish states would start allowing tiny houses neighborhoods so you can own your own land. In this housing market that would make the most sense.

[@SueP-jg9vx]

i didnt realize they don't? why wouldnt they

[@RD-vo5vq]

@@SueP-jg9vx So far from what I’ve seen on KZbin Texas has a planned tiny house community where you own the land and the house. The houses are built like regular houses and are not on wheels.

[@Bosslady0202]

Chase is so cute and happy❤❤❤

[@dbdouglas]

Best floor-plan for that size, very nice!

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

I recently visited on of my students in Germany and they served me a breakfast very similar to this one. It's fun to see how the traditions are across the world. Thank you

[@roxanneberry1250]

Beautiful tiny home fr. Kudos to her son and his art.

[@capuchin334]

I love the kitchen which is pretty huge in a tiny house. I love your gold accents and the wall paper on the fridge. I was really impressed with your loft bedroom. I love order and beauty and space which is so great. Its great that Chase has easy access to the bathroom. I also love your treasures. Chases bedroom is awesome! His art is really amazing. I love his carnivorous plants and the measuring tape on the wall. The bathroom is awesome. The cat was cute cuddled up in the basket. Chase has long hair like my son though his hair is past his bottom. You did a great job in every way with this home and a great parking spot to boot. I look forward to a future update to see how you are all doing! What an incredible mum you are. I am so glad you got exactly what you needed when you needed it. Have a great day.

[@deb9806]

Very nice! Love the size of the rooms and your son's room reminds me of my son's years ago. Rent seemed high but then I remembered where you were. ; )

[@magnapearl9506]

She is a great mom.

[@citygirl713]

LOVE THIS ONE! Her interior design and the colors… love how light everything is. From the curtains, the wall color, the paint color of the kitchen cabinets, the couch. She did a wonderful job! The only thing I’d change for the builder, with this tiny home is, I wouldn’t waste the square footage for the outside of the house.. I’d rather have the square footage inside and just have the front porch. The wrap around porch just seems like wasted square footage that could have been used for more space inside for the living room area.

[@lauramcnally1805]

Beautiful tiny house! The refrigerator with wall paper is a great idea! ☺️

[@marymateika2449]

Beautiful Tiny Home! Very Nice family! God Bless you!❤

[@donnapaquette9231]

Beautiful home I love the decro! I really love the functionality of your home, you put a lot of love into this home ❤

[@TraceyBergum]

Fantastic home you have I am so happy for you that things worked out so nicely in finding an already built place with a spot and set ups. I think it's wonderful there are 2 spaces for you and your son to have your own space and privacy and I am very glad he gets to have an outdoor area to do "boy things" as he says : ) May you have many years of peace and joy in your lovely tiny home!

[@bumblebee_ms]

I would live in this house any day. So lovely!!! ❤❤

$1K a month rent?! That’s high - but I guess for Cali it’s comparable and at least she will eventually own her home

Compared to a NEW York city studio dump for 2500-3500. Take my 1000$
