Affordable Living: Tiny House with Clever Design

[@AaronHinson-j7f]

As a 6’5” homeless man currently staying there due to the devastation of Hurricane Helene, I give it an 11/10. A wonderful home, built and designed by wonderful people. Teddy and Taylor have provided their home free of charge to me and my pup until I am able to fix my own home. They are the best and most generous people I know. Forever grateful.

[@natalieanderson2850]

❤❤❤❤❤ I hope your situation can get resolved - so proud of the Asheville community for the help you are able to provide each other! (Teddy’s mom, btw)

[@Naturevsnurture86]

Hugs. Please stay strong. I know it ain't easy at all

[@tarab603]

I came to comment on how much I love this home & then I saw your post. Now I am here to say, I love Teddy & Taylor. Blessing to you all!

In 2019 I lucked out and purchased 2.5 acres on a environmental lake in northern Minnesota for $27,000, then I put up a 24x32 Pole Frame outbuilding for $26,000 For the next 4 years I finished the interior and since I was able to build slow I took full advantage of sales, marketplace and family handouts. Total cost of my property including a 20x24 garage $114,000. I am debt free.

Great!! Live your true self 🌟✨

[@minniemama2003]

Most beautiful story I've ever heard.

[@Timtime67]

Love it.

[@melaniecarroll2538]

I would love to see a video of your place.

[@nicolaholland1]

I consider myself a tiny home connoisseur considering the number of hours I watch...and this is the most aesthetically and brilliantly designed tiny home I have seen I cannot believe they aren't in the design world. I am blown away by the use of materials. The raised kitchen is just brilliant. I cannot say enough how much I love this one. Brilliant job, astounded they are amateur builders/designers.

[@northernfox6420]

I agree, I'm always blown away at the skills from non-trained people who just jump in and go for it. It has one of the best 'home' feels to it. Lots of clever and thoughtful touches. Love, love, love the exterior rusted metal look mixed with the black double doors. Definitely a 'wow' in my books. Great on them!

[@jayajaya788]

The key thing is to own land and your home!! No morgatge... self-efficient...I love it.. so beautiful

[@annanirathsi1111]

I love how the kitchen being higher up makes the living room seem more cozy. This is such a unique layout, I love it.

[@colleenlongardner2692]

If the storage space under the kitchen is only 2',who gets the privilege of going in?

[@ljwilliams]

Glad to see that you own your land. Thats the key!

[@rvnut1133]

A cabin in the woods, I like everything about it. Perfect for me.

[@humminbirrrd]

When I see couches like the one in this video, I always wonder about the comfort level. I know he said they love it and cuddle on it all the time. But it doesn't have a back. If you just wanted to sit on it like a regular couch, your back would be up against the wall, and I can't see how that would be comfortable. Clearly it works for them, which is great

[@heleneminger]

I have never said this before and I have watched alot of tiny house videos, this is really one of the most well thought out homes. I love how they used their "basement" space.

[@meridethhendry5733]

Absolutely brilliant! Such a clever layout and gorgeous.

[@keeper6101]

TS 6:23 I like the whole house filtration system with the "Homerun" setup. Very useful.

[@childofgodsfavor6909]

Born and raised in NC makes me appreciate the beauty it offers. You all made a great investment for having your own property. You're in a quiet space and place away from the city. Let no one invade it as the government wanted to try Asheville, NC, for its minerals. The mountain areas have so much beauty. 🤗

[@LittleSparrow400]

They are so blessed to be living this life of freedom! Gorgeous property!

[@dianeclark1135]

Love your lovely home….. esp. how you designed steps / elevated the kitchen. Also your outdoor living.

[@18elleinad]

Adorable couple and fantastic home! The kitchen loft design, finishes and design aesthetic are perfect! I usually am drawn to larger tiny homes but honestly this is one of my all time favorites!! The deck and landscaping really add to the charm of your home. Absolutely brilliant. Congratulations you two and God bless.

[@jenniboo9441]

The kitchen is so pretty

[@zx5218]

Believe me your home and location look like it was time well invested. I hope this place brings you a lifetime of happiness.

[@marywatkins6798]

This is a beautiful tiny home. I especially love the kitchen and the storage crawlspace underneath, hidden by the pullout stairs. The only issue I have is the ladder to the sleeping loft. I could not do that at 64, and certainly could not age (more) in this home.

[@allwhatilove914]

well, it's not made to people that are 64 anyways.

[@sjladuke75]

Beautiful home & location- knowing you did this yourselves must be incredibly gratifying & satisfying. Well done all around- a real piece of heaven!

[@PattiMyers-f6d]

Beautiful and thoughtfully designed! Kudos to them!!

[@kimberlystritt8631]

The aesthetics of the materials both side and out are so beautiful blended.

[@Greenway1234]

Beautiful home. Owning the land is the best thing.

[@vickijenkins417]

This is my absolute favorite tiny house .

[@donnaramon6101]

Awesome house, has everything that's needed

[@lynnloehr1566]

Love the kitchen in this tiny house, and the bathroom too. The added storage by raising the kitchen is brilliant, and gives it a really great look. The clothes storage in the bathroom is also brilliant since the washer/dryer is right there. They did a great job.

[@carolyne9862]

What an amazing home! I can't imagine the planning & hard work it took to come to this point - great job!

[@rebeccarothfuss-ym3gs]

Lovely home. Also very nice deck and fire pit area. I really like what you created. The utility/storage area under the kitchen is a great idea.😊❤

[@robinlacey9273]

The rustic look inside and out is beautiful. My style ❤❤❤

[@debkincaid2891]

This is gorgeous. How perfect!

[@jannbeebee]

I love this place. Brilliant ideas and beautiful design features. One of my favourites . You did a lovely job. And the setting looks perfect 🌷

[@kennethmccaleb2517]

This is the nicest tiny house I’ve ever seen! Congrats all around.

[@slipton6493]

Beautiful both inside and out!

[@RobVespa]

Beautiful home! Every little thing about it is neat. Love all the artistic decisions. Not to mention the lovely property! Aside: You were 100% right about the single sink vs. the split sink. I went with a split sink and wished it was a single larger open space fairly quickly afterwards.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Very unique and charming.

[@spindelnett6315]

I got 14 acres of barren pasture in 2003 for £28.5k. Now it's woodland and orchard, and I've learnt and innovated several ways of natural building. These vids are great design inspiration.

[@alank3962]

Great home - efficient design, thoughtful layout, nicely finished build throughout build, really over the top “basement” work and lastly a very well presented home tour and narrative, you guys are both better than most all of the hem-haw the so-called “pros” who just seem to stumble through every tour saying the first unorganized thing that falls out of their mouth. Kudos to you. What a place! ❤

[@lovis3368]

A beautiful home!!😍 Love the kitchen and the living room!🙏

[@dianedixon6199]

Beautifully done, love your tiny house design and the lot, so close to nature, can’t get any better than that!

[@TheKnittedRaven]

Beautiful spot in the trees. Love that it was a DIY too.

[@singthesongofmypeople]

It's got such a moody vibe. Absolutely love this one.

[@debrawucik826]

Very nicely done. My only issue with tiny home living is a bedroom that I can’t stand up in. But your decor and use of space…well done!

[@candacegreen1163]

Gorgeous inside and out! Great job, you two!🎉

Love this tiny house! So beautiful. Thanks for the tour.

[@lynnk1908]

it's really nice. love the space outdoors.

[@Suzwebb1]

Loved the kitchen! Great job!

[@WISouthernBelle]

This is hands down the best tiny house I've seen. I wonder if it's possible to get plans! Or at least pictures of each area to work off of, because this is amazing!!! I wonder if there's a dishwasher...only because with the full sink I am curious how you rinse the dishes as they get washed. Random question, I know. I freaking love this house and wish the video was longer with more detail!

[@karenbenning2166]

What a beautiful home! Great design. Love the utility/storage area.

[@debbiejansen1178]

It's a lovely home. The sofa doesn't look comfortable at all though. The bathroom and kitchen design are perfect. The laundry under the bathroom sink is quite clever. I love tiny places and the designs people come up with it. Your outdoor space is welcoming, too!

[@emmaafa]

what a great story, thank you both for sharing your experience, it's a beautiful home and really suits you both!

Absolutely what I would love to have so it wasn’t my cup of tea, but everything else is down to the sky light in the bedroom that extra head room is absolutely amazing I could go on and on and on thank you.

[@VirginiaBarber-nv9hj]

Well-done!!

[@kristy7468]

Definitely one of my to 5 favorite's!!! Would love to make one of these for me too

Love the tiny home & the rustic look to it. I do think they should have mad3 the couch wider as it doesn’t look very comfortable to sit on

Gorgeous!! 🎉What are the actual measurement of home and deck…Length, Height and depth….? Thx

Beautiful

[@jilltesell8627]

I would love your home The only problem I have is the ladder you go up to get to the bedroom. I hope youcontinue to enjoy it.

[@deaconddd]

Very impressive design. Comparable to what many pre-fab companies are trying to sell for double and triple the price.

[@jennatrusty522]

I like it .....I would love it if you had a full side living room/ full sized bedroom.

[@BeDoHave-so8nr]

Unless that's a real brick wall at the end of the kitchen, having the stove right up against the wall is a fire hazard. A 6 inch landing area to the right of the stove would be safer. Or a fire shield on the wall. Other than that, the house is perfect.

[@intherockies]

You can tell at 5:30 and 7:51 that those areas are real bricks.

[@Mammaj1963]

Those bricks are definitely real

[@BeDoHave-so8nr]

@@intherockies The bricks around the wood burning stove are real, but I was referring to the bricks next to the kitchen stove, forming the end wall. They could be real, but could be faux brick, which can pass for the real thing.If it is a real brick wall, I'd fear for it surviving being moved on a highway, but guess they've figured everything out.

[@pdq5465]

I would think that a real/faut brick wall would be difficult to keep clean hygienic. Wouldn’t be my choice.

[@reginaputman7662]

I love this design! I would put this on my property

[@joyhobbs5431]

Really nice

[@melaniecarroll2538]

The only negative thing for me would be..,changing the sheets on the bed.

[@jenniboo9441]

Why are they talking about everything in the past tense? Do they not live there anymore?

[@zaaz1471]

my impression is they're talking in past tense in two ways - comparing the place they previously lived vs the new place... and that they're referring to the work they did to build this house that was built in the past.

[@1994agolden2012]

I was curious about this too so I checked out there instagram - it sounds like they bought their neighbors property, expanding their 2 acres to 3 and moved into the home on that property. The tiny house is now an Airbnb!

[@craftyShirleyG]

Awesome tiny, except the couch. Just my opinion...im too old to sit on something like that for long. Love everything else

[@thinktoomuchb4028]

Looks great! But I'm sure I'd be hitting my knees and feet on the combo washer/dryer beneath the bathroom sink.
