Solo Mother With Teenage Daughter Builds Amazing Tiny House

The fact that the mom made sure her daugher's room was big enough she could have friends over and private enough she could spend time alone is amazing. So many tiny houses have loft rooms without any privacy and the access to them tends to be difficult

[@janeadelaidelennox7193]

M.L. Soll see, I love this. I decided ages ago to make sure my kid had the bigger space, because she has far more toys than I do. I also made sure to let her personality reflect in every room in the house. Every shelf holds some of her things. Her 3 year old art shares wall real estate with the rest of the wall art. And every room has a kidzone. It’s not cluttered or chaotic or anything. It’s harmonized specifically to reflect the two of us. We both live here. We both deserve to feel like we are home ❤️

Right now I have a king size bed and half a room dedicated to my wardrobe, but man do I just want to nestle up in a room like hers instead!

[@Danbo22987]

Exactly, I see families doing it to "become closer" but there is a fine line between being closer and being unhealthy. Humans have a natural need for alone time, especially if they are introverts. They need to have some space that can allow them to recharge.

[@valerielove9837]

Well said!!!

@@ChewFingers To be fair I think many families living in these houses never intend it to be permanent. It's often something they do as an adventure for a few years and then move on to something else. What works at one stage of life may be different from what works at another. E.g., very young kids usually hate sleeping alone. Although as others have pointed out, these homes aren't actually particularly small by any kind of normal international standard.

@@gabbygirl3951 - In my younger years, I worked for Champion homes. I've seen all kinds of trailers from the cheapest - to the most expensive ones on the market. There is nothing out there that you can buy and renovate for $35k (especially these days. You'd have to go OLD and/or craptastic to get something cheap enough to have room for renovations) that would come close to what she built. Even if you spent the money to completely gut and put new exterior and interior - the walls would be half as thick with half the supports. It's no comparison. Not to mention, she purchased all those materials and built it in California. You could probably replicate it for about 3/4 the cost or less in the midwest somewhere. She did a great job, and has a house built 10x better than anything you can get manufactured, plus it's customized how they like it :) Start browsing online and see what you come up with, keep in mind how much renovations will cost, and then see what kind of home you end up with for $35k.

Made me wonder why the heck more ppl don't enclose their lofts? I think she was lucky that her dad is a contractor with land to build on, so she could really take her time and design it to their needs. I also love how secure the stairways are, with walls on each side. I always feel like ppl could easily fall from stairways in other tiny homes that don't even have banisters. This was very well worth watching!

I love this tiny home so much, I came back to watch this again after a year and I just had to rave about it some more! Ideally, I'm very much a minimalist, so the thought of collecting *anything* rubs me the wrong way. In fact, getting rid of clutter and paring things down to a minimum is one of my motivations for wanting a tiny home. HOWEVER, I am SO IMPRESSED with how neatly they do their collecting! I love how they can just close their little collections away into nice, neat air tight drawers. The glass makes is a nice display case and also keeps it from getting dusty. I couldn't stand all the trinkets at my mother's house because all they did was take up space, look cluttered, and collect dust! But this shan't happen here. Just... bravo!!

[@darnellmartin9558]

When she said "I used alot of discounted material that aren't as nice" I literally replayed the whole video because everything in the tiny house is gorgeous. Who says you can't have things that are chic and affordable. Very well done.

[@personal_playlist9466]

This is no less than A REAL HOUSE. They've got separate bedrooms, lots of privacy and ample space. Love how she gave her daughter such a spacious room, and a vanity area too! SO DAMN COOL. They're artistic, but haven't overdone the colours or decor. Not an iota of space has been wasted. What sets this house apart is the fact that they can manage to stand in a tiny bedroom. I also noticed a full length mirror, which I find lacking in other trailer houses. She's so right about giving living room more area. Their bathroom is amazing too. This is real example of living big in a tiny house. I'm proud of you guys!

[@personal_playlist9466]

Netta Johnson you're right. I've seen enough tiny houses and the main reason these people choose to live this way is because they can't afford a house. They're under debts and have children to feed. For them, tiny house living becomes a necessity. And you know what? These so called tiny houses are in most cases bigger than what people pay huge rents for in big cities!

[@alisonshanahan9529]

@@barnettajohnsonthepancakem3792 I totally agree, there are UTube videos of people who live in their car because they can't afford to pay rent. They have a gym membership so they can shower. They work full time in office jobs, but it's not enough for them to get a place. They are young, under 30, probably have school debts, and are close to being homeless. If they can afford to buy a bus or van and do it up, then I am all for it. The less debt they incur, the less they have to repay, and these days, the cost of schooling is sky high, more than most mortgages. The ones who travel around are the ones who work online or who have mobile jobs. The majority only travel in the holidays. Some cities are beginning to think about the homeless and are building tiny homes for them. A community, so they are not isolated. I am in Australia, I lived in NJ in the mid 70s, I am horrified by how run down the US has become. I was in Hawaii in 1992, then 2013. 1992 was typical American, 2013 was a real shock, homeless people everywhere, all the big hotels owned by Japanese. Very little American food anywhere, no diners anymore. I know Trump is not popular in the US media but he's very popular outside the US, as someone who is actually improving the US economy and getting the US government working, whether they are paid or not. That was one of the things that came out about the US government that horrified Australians. The fact that US government departments would shut down and walk away from their jobs when they had no money to give out. WTF. Our government departments almost never have money to give out, but that doesn't mean they give up! The job still has to be done.... You learn to be creative and bargain! Goodness what a bunch of losers! They really needed Donald Trump to kick them up the arse and tell them to get on with the job. They were still getting paid for sitting at home! Idiots.

See to keep the people slaves to the grid, alternative life choices are not promoted or taught in the schools! Being the cause if one cannot cope with the slave life or do not conform to it, one most likely will end up on the streets, left and by many hoped to fall straight down through the cracks of the sewers!

@@barnettajohnsonthepancakem3792 you are lucky there are so many nice people that replied to you. I think what you said doesn't make any sense what so ever. This lady has only built a tiny house for her self and her daughter, and nothing more or less. Now how is it her problem that there are so many vacant places or homeless people or greedy people when in fact - this is the exact reason she built this tiny house in the first place. This lady has simply built a nest for her and her young, this is what nature intended, this is all she is doing. Tiny houses are the way of a sustainable future, it is no means a fad... No idiot is going to buy an overpriced abode unless they can afford to do so. You need to get a grip on life and stop blaming the wrong people with incorrect arguments.

Also, making room for things they don't necesarily need but actually love, instead of getting rid of everything and go full minimal, is such a refreshing input into tiny living. Just because your space is small, it doesn't have to be completely empty to feel spacious. Lastly, Katie, girl, you are absolutely awesome.
