This project is a reminder that sometimes, the path to fulfillment lies in embracing simplicity and forging your own path. ❤❤

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Well said 🙌💕

[@tanial694]

Oh what a lovely lady. Her cats are so lucky to have her for their carer. It’s so beautiful that she has taken their needs into consideration when she purchased her tiny home. I wish her all the best for her future and getting a divorce is another step in life to gain independence and strength. She will flourish in her new community! Well done!

[@brookieb5816]

Thank you! Love the video. :) For those that are wondering, the home does sit on a trailer and can be moved. But there is block skirting to help protect the lines from the elements.

[@brookieb5816]

Also, I forgot to mention in the video that I have spray foam insulation throughout the house and even under the block skirting. I also have a wall unit AC/heater, and an electric fireplace that I looove.

[@abefroman70]

I love that you had the cats in mind with the catio. I have six rescues with special needs so I might need a bigger catio. Maybe add some catwalks with a high perch for snoozing!🐾❤️

[@user-qf7nv2br9b]

Now I like this one. The kitchen and living room are so cozy . Nice bedroom, bathroom. Great home 🏡

[@MerwinARTist]

Hi Brook .. I'm glad to see your comments here. We love cats too. We live beside a highway .. so have had several hit over the last 12 years. I uses an old satellite dish as the roof and bent 3 10ft. lengths of "top rail" pipe for woven wire fencing. Most old dishes are about 10 ft. across .. so I used 6 top rails .. to go around on the inside of the dish top and bottom. These are connected with small rebar through holes in the pipe that are welded in place. There is 2 x 4 welded wire that goes all around the cage. Inside I have a small cedar tree that is fastened to the ground. The tree has several limbs that have been cut off flat with rounded flat piece of cedar fastened in place .. like shelves at different levels. There is room for several boxes, pet carriers, etc. that can be for hides. In the winter you can put plastic sheeting up as a wind break etc. You could set up something like this and connect it to your house. I'm sharing the idea so you can consider it .. maybe look around for someone who could put that together for you. You have a nice looking place .. and the size is great!! I don't like the narrow 8 ft'ers. 🙂

[@janeysiegrist5061]

[@robinsmith8252]

One of the most enjoyable Tiny home tours yet. The owner's voice is so comforting, I could listen to her all day. She'd be a great ASMR artist. Lovely home and precious kitties.

We can see that! Such a sweet soft voice she has 😊

[@tailgatecarpenter26]

Such an amazing trend for divorced people to go into tiny living. Brooke is amazing and has fabulous decorating choices. The Catio is the winner yet the matching sink and shower tile in the bathroom was a close second. Perfect color choices. I too reinvented myself after a separation and returned to college at age 30. Brooke is already an accomplished nurse and is impressively continuing to further her education. I'm happy to see that she survived the pandemic and is moving positively forward into the future. The only negative I see in the future for the HOA style tiny home communities will be the potential endless rent increases similar to what happens in mobile home parks.

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

😊I love it when these houses look like normal shaped house on the outside. It's a Me "issue" but homes that look like large shoeboxs make me anxious. 🙆

[@MarkS-yb1bl]

That's what I thought before we moved in to our 396 sq ft house. I am fine with the space. Could not imagine living in a larger home now. 😀

[@MarkS-yb1bl]

Her beautiful home is a great addition to our community. Welcome home!

[@gulfgal98]

This might be my favorite tiny house ever. It is so well designed and very livable. I love the kitchen with the counter bar, in particular.

[@SharperMind123]

Pretty brave to move from city life to small town… Barn door is great! Renting out the lot some can defray costs….Cats and fresh air are soothing to the soul…

The UK, needs to rak a leaf out of your book and build tiny house communities for our youngsters and homeless. We've got enough fields. Gorgeous built and your fur baby is gorgeous ❤😻😺

[@sashabenoit1518]

The one thing I would change is switching the placement of the toilet and the little closet area and adding either a bifold door on the closet or a sliding door that slides in front of the toilet. This would make it feel a little more open and roomy, especially having all of that open space in front of you while you're on the toilet instead of squeezing back into that little nook with the vanity right in front of you. I would also possibly put double bifold doors or those doors that you can open and then slide them back along each wall for the laundry area. Or maybe even a curtain. It would just give it a much cleaner, cohesive look and you wouldn't have to have the laundry machines right there in front of you while you're trying to relax on the couch. Other than those minor details, the layout is pretty perfect and it has everything you need! 😊

[@user-em3zp9st3b]

I absolutely love this Tiny Home. After searching for five years, this floor plan is exactly what I am looking for. 11’ by 34’ perfect size. House layout is awesome. How do I get ahold of the builder? I I have my own property. I am seriously interested and would like to further discuss with the builder. Thanks!!

[@rosemarywilliams9969]

Believe me when I tell you that going with the washer and dryer you went with is the best decision you will ever make😅 Non vented combos and pet hair are a nightmare.

[@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom]

How so?

[@BeeKay4444]

Beautiful home. There is a lot here that I love, especially the kitties.

[@cancelbubble6535]

Really great layout, the kitchen is very nice. I would have tried to find a slightly smaller refrigerator as I don't think a single person needs a full size fridge and included some sort of pantry in the saved space. Bathroom is really nice, too, though I would have opted for a non-closet there.

[@gratefulgram]

Very nice and may I say Buster is adorable! 💕 one of the best laid out floor plans I’ve seen, the catio is an awesome addition. Thank you for the tour. Much love and many blessings

[@celletoronto]

I love this layout! So open and comfortable. If I lived alone, this layout would have worked perfectly for me too.

[@brandywineblogger1411]

1) I love the fact that you have a real staircase. So many mini homes have little narrow risers attached to the wall. 2) Yes! Larger kitchen and smaller living room. Great decision. 3) Only part I question- the low ceiling, low space bedroom. Getting dressed is so important. I'd end up with bruised arms and hands. I do see there is some space in front of your closet. 4) Your cats are beautiful. They look like they have some Oriental in the mix. MUCH HAPPINESS!

[@Leafgreen1976]

141k for a tiny home blows my mind. The entire reason for going tiny is to get away from a mortgage.

[@olgahekkert5358]

It's better than an apartment and she has plenty of room to grow. Still less expensive than a big mortgage.

[@nandrews8412]

Better to buy land on unincorporated area and build a tiny cabin. These current tiny homes have become luxury hipster club houses.

[@brookieb5816]

I'm very fortunate to not have a mortgage. :) I might consider buying land one day, but right now I really appreciate having a nice community to live in.

[@streetsmartintelligent]

11' wide is the way to go 8' wide just too cramped. Price is ridiculous though.... for 399sq.ft defeats whole purpose of affordable living Very nice layout though & build. Especially great it's on a concrete foundation, which is not cheap.

[@user-cd9os5yo8t]

Brooke, Molly and Buster, y’all are nestled into a wonderful, cozy home. I nearly fell off my feet at this video as I realized Brooke and her fur babies would be our neighbors about now if we hadn’t changed tiny home course in mid-stream. We had the corner lot next to her reserved and would be settled on it now, but we decided to not leave Texas for family reasons. What an amazingly small world. We are now in our tiny in Texas instead of Arizona, though we had been looking forward to the Luxtiny, Pinetop-Lakeside environment. You created a delightful home, Brooke. Enjoy.

[@brookieb5816]

Aw thanks! I would have loved to meet you, but am glad you are in the right spot for you. Maybe our paths will cross one day!

[@pamelawallace5875]

I really adore Ur tiny home. It’s put together perfectly

[@WilliamSmith-cj6iv]

I love the layout, especially being able to stand up in the loft. However, it appears that the bathtub is installed backwards. There is a slanted end where you lay back to relax while soaking and a vertical end where your feet go. The slanted end is under the faucet head, so you can't lay back without hitting your head. Might want to ask the builder about turning it around. Otherwise you are missing out on the full functionality of the tub.

[@itsamadmadsadworld4360]

I have to say that I absolutely love this home..what a great job on floor plan...makes me think about building my own..the one thing I would do differently is put a wood burning stove in where your litter box is located and make the catio a bit larger and put litter box out there.. I know you'll be very happy with your decision to go with this tiny home....

I do love this home. So well thought out, and I really like the warmth that the wood walls & ceiling adds. I do wonder if the fireplace can heat the entire home when it is cold outside. I think you should put a gazebo in your yard (or a patio with a fire pit) - you have a really nice location, and you’ll enjoy being outside there.
