I love it. I’ve lived in a 400sqft apartment. I’ve also lived in a 3400!!!sqft house. I prefer a small space:) Less to clean. No dark empty creepy rooms sitting unused or with pointless furniture.

[@eagleriver7863]

And also small house is very easy to warm up in the winter and cool down in the summer.

"I'm going to make everything around me beautiful. That will be my life." - Eloise de Wolfe. That is a quote I love and it describes you to a T. 💛Your tiny house tour was amazing. I love how warm and cozy it is. Your dog is so sweet and the quilt is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this, Tamara!

That is such a beautiful quote and it reminds me of my mom so much. She had the same ethic, everything she touched she made beautiful. It was her life to arrange her surroundings in such a way that you were enveloped by an environment of peace and curiosity. Thank you so much for this lovely quote, I will use it to help me remember her.

[@monkeybusiness1999]

It's so nice to see a YT video of a tiny/small home that actually feels like a home ~ unpretentious, relaxed, lived-in & loved. Charming, yet real life stuff. 😊👍 (My 1st apartment was similar; a tiny 1920s cottage about half the size of this house. It only had one small clothes closet, too. Everything else was stored out in the open, so I bought items, usually thrifted, that were functional but pretty. Forty+ years later, still have two $1 Woolworth fruit embossed coffee mugs & a small set of Italian hand painted Fortunoff dishes that I used daily back then. They were a splurge at $2-$3 a piece, on clearance. They're chipped & crazed now, but kept to remind me where I came from.)

That's one of the things I love most about tiny living.....

[@thelandofmint]

According to us Europeans, your house is not tiny, it's a normal size, it's bigger than my very old stone house here in the mountains in central Italy! It's just an American obsession with size, huge houses, huge burgers, huge coffee cups, huge car! Just crazy! 😱

[@Strega_del_Corvo]

I’m an US American and it’s so true. I hate it. I think it’s partly because the country is so big to begin with that there is room for things to be so big, but it’s a disgusting mindset for the environment etc.

[@gloriaterry333]

By America do you mean the continent? Or the USA?

[@NewYawkahBroad]

Not every American is size obsessed. In fact, getting rid of everything and going smaller has been trending a while except among Hollywood and mega-millionaire politicians whose constituents mostly live in the streets.

I agree, wonderful, a tiny house as my retirement (and ongoing) house is my dream. One thought: where you have the full length mirror, I'd consider building in a full length closet, with a mirror on the door. Even something 12" -15" deep would accommodate some coats, dresses etc, and maybe allow a big shelf above for non-seasonal things. A good handyperson could offer suggestions.

[@shirleyvigus8938]

I sold my home 10 years ago and love living without excess stuff in small space that can be cleaned in 10 minutes, does not need a lot of maintenance and allows me to focus on other things besides taking care of a large home.

Thank you Kelly! I have slight claustraphobia too... and was very unsure about how I would do...but I think the windows, light, view and open concept really help. ❤️

How are you doing today Kelly?

[@deeanngunnells6867]

Thank you for sharing! This post is so inspiring! I really need learn to be happy with less. Downsizing really gives you a chance to enjoy your favorite things❤️ I love seeing your Mom’s affirmations. I need to hang my Moms up too!

How are you doing today Dee, hope you’re having a wonderful day?

[@luciagonzalez4899]

Once you are this age you really know what you love and what is important to you! This leaves room for the things you want to do without the extraneous matter!! I live in 900 sq feet, with my husband, and I am still constantly purging from downsizing more than 10 years ago!!! So much stuff that has no meaning needs to go..........

[@victoriamuir8988]

My husband died in October and I am leaving our two story home and moving into a 400 square foot tiny home. I was looking for ways to make the best use of the small quarters and your video was immensely helpful. I chuckle because we own many of the same things and have similar decorating styles so it wasn’t difficult to imagine what my little home will become. I’ll be nestled on a hill among large pines overlooking a beautiful ranch. Thank you for the tour.

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. I wish you peace in your new cozy home. Hugs. ❤️

Lovely cottage! 400 square feet is fine for one person and you have done a fine job. Easy to heat. My best friend in Leeds, England owns a similar size flat. She has lived there for over 20 years and it suits her. Our farm cottage was designed to be 988 square feet for two people, with a walk-out basement. We initially listed the functions we needed. Open concept kitchen/living room for canning and also for hobbies. Two bedrooms, three ample closets, short central hallway and a bath. Downstairs is plumbed for a bath, but only has a set tub, W/D. Plenty of space for a freezer, canned goods, workshop/garden supplies and fire wood. Like you, we pieced together the storage for optimum functionality. No outbuildings, except a double car port. Our taxes on two acres are reasonable, because of the modest square footage on the house. Enjoy your cozy cottage 🏡!

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Thank you! Your farm cottage sounds perfect! ❤️

Love it so inspiring. We don't need a big house.

[@leticiavillarreal3689]

You’re cottage is beautiful and fun! I recently moved into a 800 sft cottage and working on how to arrange furniture. I love the arrangement and lots of light.

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Thank you Leticia! Enjoy your sweet cottage! 🏠🌈❤️

[@zozel77]

I love love love your tiny cottage and the decoration you’ve done is fantastic, it’s so cozy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@fabiolagalindo9102]

It’s beautiful!! We certainly don’t need a huge house to be happy and to call it home! I read once “ Some people Travel the world over to find the beautiful; you must carry it with you or will find it Not”

[@lindamcharie1264]

I think you're home is absolutely beautiful..it is really cosy with all your treasured possessions..l love you're antiques..you have utilized the space that you have perfectly... very clever lady..

[@nancygage7679]

I enjoyed the tour of your cottage. You’ve given me needed inspiration. I’m looking around my house differently. I love how you use storage pieces as dividers. Thank you for sharing. I think I’ll watch again.

How are you doing today Nancy, hope you’re having a wonderful day?

[@animalrescuegeek]

I adore your home! It is so charming. I have been thinking about selling my home, putting the money away and renting for a while until I decide what to do next. I have power tools and love to DIY and would love to find something like this. I really don't need a big space anymore. This gives you the freedom to live close to the area you love and living small would keep me focused on only keeping/gathering what I love. I so enjoyed this. Thank you. -Sue from MI

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Thank you Sue! I have to say, after owning a home for so many years, it is a bit of a relief to rent for a while. I am so glad you enjoyed my house tour ❤️

[@bobbiewhitten1718]

I am way older than you but had always wanted an old 40s -50s cottage. I bought this one not quite 3 years ago. At 946sq ft, I have downsized again and love it. Am a block off of the Gulf of Mexico. This area was pretty much destroyed by Katrina but we have come a long way. Love your cute little home. You have done a great job with the storage thing.

[@Iworkwithnitwits]

I absolutely love your little cottage. So quaint and homey.

[@susanwilson1370]

[@rubyokosi8377]

I love cozy homes. I have one. You did a great job. What I like most is your open storage. Thanks for sharing ♥️

[@ritaalixandre8283]

Amo casas pequnas, bem decoradas elas são muito aconchegantes. Não gosto de casas grandes com muito espaço acho muito impessoais. Parabens pela sua casa ela é linda.♥️♥️♥️

[@vivd7356]

Your place is beautiful and shows how much can be done to make a place your own no matter the size. I recently sold my home in So Cal and considering scaling down. You're an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!

[@brendaeicher7453]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful tiny house, you have utilize each and every space available to make it a gorgeous, comfy home It is so warm and inviting just , nestled away in your little corner of the world ❤️ I ve always loved the idea of a tiny home and as I get older I think I love the idea more and more I’ve never required for much, but I’m not sure what to take and what not to take a list of must haves would be absolutely wonderful You don’t think about what you need until you need it. My sister and her husband moved to Florida about three years ago and eventually I think I will join them one day I know I can’t physically take care of a larger home, so I pray that one day, I will find a tiny home in my future😊 Thank you again for sharing your lovely home and your precious pup❤

[@user-rs6bi5rq1f]

I love love love this decor. I admirer your attitude to down sizing! You have your sweet and loving dog and some of your favorite memories so what wise do you need.

[@cheryllambert5099]

I adore everything about your tiny home. I would move in tomorrow 😊 The only question I have is how do you do laundry? Thank You for sharing your adorable home💕

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Thank you Cheryl! Good question! No laundry here...but my Aunt lives very close by so I do laundry there very conveniently. ❤️
