Her BIG Tiny House customized for 6 pets! Amazing layout & lifestyle

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks to MR COOL! Check out their DIY Ductless Mini-Splits: mrcooldiy.com 😎 Janet loves tiny living with 6 pets, now 5. Since the filming, Echo passed away.🐕 This video is dedicated to his sweet memory.❤ She worked with her builder to customize her impressive 44 ft/13.4 m tiny house. It fits all her needs without sacrificing comfort or storage, and features a standing loft bedroom, home office w/door & a rad rooftop deck. 🏡 *Another amazing home from Indigo River Tiny Homes:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWW9aKOrbrWifdE

[@mmariemarkel7482]

I adore the lively colors used throughout this home 🏡. I especially am vibing on that kitchen cabinet color. It looks so "Florida" which is where I live but teal of any shade, hue, value is my fave. Love her hair style too. Just about 3 weeks ago (July 28, 2023) I buzzed all my hair off for a G.I. JANE kinda length, much to the chagrin of everyone that knows me LOL 😂😅. Much cooler now I don't have all that hair keeping the heat in which I'm sure will resonate with her. Love all the "babies" she has, especially her English bulldog. Best of life to all. NAMASTE ❤

What a lovely home. People are more trouble than animals and she clearly loves her pets and the place is immaculate. Why on earth would anyone refuse her.

Hopefully now that she has a video of her home and set up, she might hopefully not be refused anywhere...

RIP Echo! What a cool house, and as a cat lady, it's nice to see a house geared toward pets, too! It's a shame that Janet didn't feel safe in her old property, but now that she's more mobile, she can move to the safest area for her.

[@avnhealth]

I watched this house being built on the Indigo River KZbin Channel. It's so good to see her all settled in and happy. I loved this house - the space the way everything was so well thought-out and planned and the size! I live in a 6-bedroom house and my kids have gone (except for one and she will be with us for a while I hope :-) To me, this is the perfect tiny home. and what she said (I'm sorry but I didn't catch her name) about the costs and the time spent cleaning is so appealing to me. I hope she has the best life in her tiny home with her beautiful pets - thanks for sharing,

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Happy to hear it! We’re huge Indigo River Tiny Home fans and love what they created for Janet & her animal crew 💓

[@kkkitty5248]

Sorry for the loss of Echo.Rest in paradise little one. Your home and pet family are beautiful. I really like the color of your kitchen cabinets. Good to see you didn’t have to sacrifice your standard of living and kept all of your pet family. Wishing you well in your new state. Take care

[@dawnsmith4275]

Thank you Alexis and Christian for including diverse people in your excellent videos. It's very sad that people do not feel safe in their communities because of what others see as "unconventional". I hope your videos will help people to see that we are all just human beings, and to respect and accept others - even if you don't understand them. Jane't home is lovely, and I would be happy to have her as my neighbor. I'm glad to see she found a community where she feels safe and connected to others. Sorry for the loss of little Echo.

[@rotmage]

man it has been crazy to see how much these tiny homes have increased in price... kinda sad.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

This is on the very high end; there are many options for much less money

[@marvanbee]

it's not limited to tiny homes. Materials have skyrocketed in recent years. Anything you build is more expensive.

[@jacijune]

depends what you want. It can be done cheaper if you go with open shelving instead of housestyle cabinetry and fancy countertops. It's up to each person how fancy or simple they want to go just like with a regular house. Custom builds may be more expensive than a basic design and if you do a lot of diy that will also cut the cost.

[@b_uppy]

​@@marvanbee The prices on tiny homes jumped before the prices for materials jumped.

[@luzmaldonado5951]

Yeahhh, It is a ridiculous price!

[@elisaboots1125]

I'm so relieved that Janet was able to find a lovely Tiny Home community in New Mexico! It's awful to feel unsafe where you live. I loved her house, filled with adorable fur babies🥰 RIP little Echo, Hail the Furry Traveler...

Thanks Guys 😊 another beautiful big Tiny so spacious everything in its place. Janet seems like a nice professional person it shouldn’t matter when it comes to her own personal preference. And how many pets you have there all inside the house 🏠 you paid for.All and all I’m happy she’s finally found a place where she can feel safe comfortable and that it’s working for her to live her best life. My Condolences for precious Echo it’s never easy losing a loved pet sometimes there like your babies 😢🐶❤

So happy to share and that we could provide this great memory of Echo in her tiny house for Janet 💗

[@birdsndog5932]

It is possible! Two parrots and one large dog here. Washing machine, dishwasher, storage space, closets, cabinets, everything! You have my tiny! So sorry about the state of the country at the moment. Nobody deserves feeling unwelcome/unsafe at home. Wish you and your tiny house much joy and peace.

[@angelathevegan2431]

Beautiful Home. Great story too. Her house is just gorgeous. So glad she found the best place for her home. I love the cute pets too. Living in a community that is welcoming, I'm sure gives you peace of mind. I wished her all the best. Sending positive vibes her way. By the way, Christian's advertisement for the Mr. Cool ductless mini system was hilarious.

Awww. Losing a pet is the worst thing in the world. Condolences to you. I love Rolo....having kept English Bulldogs for many years, he's got a special place in my heart -- that blubberly little face! I lost my last one two years ago in March -- his sister the year before in August --- I can't bear to go though it again. I will love watching and enjoying my favorite breed, my precious English Bulldogs as a spectator now.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It’s one of the hardest things to go through for sure. Thanks for sharing the love & our condolences to you as well 💕

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

Yes, you are right, it is one of the worst things in the world, it has happened a few times to me, and every time I'd think "no more pets, I can't go through this again". And guess what?! Eventually, we have a new pet because there are so many dogs and cats (and other animals) who are in the shelter and desperately need a loving home. So don't shop, adopt! It doesn't have to be a English Bulldog. I have the same thing with dachshunds, love them SO much but here in Alberta, Canada, there aren't any dachshunds to adopt, but so many other deserving dogs. Sorry for the long speech, it's just very close to my heart. There is a amazing dog waiting for you in the shelter! All the best : )

Past issues with other people taking care of their animals, or lack thereof, should not be a barrier to others, everyone is different and in this case, its obvious care and love is paramount. I love the BLUE!!

[@marciam6224]

Awww Notch reminds me of our Hermie. He & his sister Bella were rescued from a hoarder. He passed away about 3 years ago. We still have Bella and we also have Gene who was found wandering in the rain & was rescued. The shelter named him Gene Kelly but we dropped the Kelly part. They were supposed to be fosters but we knew after 2 days that we were keeping all 3 of them. We've had them almost 10 years.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Sorry to hear about Hermie! Fostering is so challenging. You just want to love/keep them all!

Your pets are living the life o' Riley, as my Irish granny would say ... and I love it! Your tour was so relaxed ... other tiny home owners seem a bit obsessive/obsessed & frazzled by comparison.

I enjoyed this video very much. I love the tiny house. She has built with so much natural lighting and great Storage! Also, I’m glad she was able to find a place to live that allowed her to keep her animals and not having to give up one or two just give me living rules. I love all the storage that you had in your home and especially the closets allowed you to have spring and summer wardrobe together and then fall and winter in a separate one. Who would love to have that feature in your home. I also love the colorful bathroom. I have a granddaughter that loves color and just about everything she ever draws or colors. She puts a colored rainbow on it, but it’s not the traditional colors of a rainbow… She just uses the colors that she thinks should be in a rainbow I guess and I love that about her. It was really sad to hear you say that you didn’t feel safe in your home. That is just sad for the American people to make somebody else feel like that. We’re all unique and different and we all deserve to be treated respectfully and fairly. I just hate prejudice.!!!!! I am sorry you had to drive to a different state to finally find peace in your home and with the people around you.❣️😊❣️😊♥️♥️♥️ this was a very nice TINY home with a BIG home feeling♥️🌈

I love the light blue through out the house. It's very calming. Also love that suction cup cat tree for the window i need to find that! The cat litter being in the storage is a good idea, but I do think having the food in the same spot might not be a good idea. There are microchip feeders you can get for them that the dogs can't get into!
