I've been watching "Tiny House" videos for years on YT....can't imagine how I missed this one!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HOUSE!!!!

[@Noahsamonte31]

With Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

[@itsanorristhing3825]

As I am watching this the rain is putting me to sleep! I take my earphones off and its pouring outside too! Love this Tiny home! Love where the cat box is! Love your videos Jenna and adore your Tiny house!❤❤🐾🐾

[@cindyrissal3628]

The lady in charge of restoring a historic schoolhouse (built early 1900s) in the area wanted to use appropriate materials for the era in which it was built, so she used wool like you did. I think it's a marvellous idea!

[@3dchick]

Love how their cat wants to be involved in everything 😂❤

[@liiisajarviiis]

I love how the kitty seems to be discovering these new nooks and features with us ☺️

[@summydots]

More than their house I actually liked their insights. They're like a old married couple, calm & content

[@123tube456]

I get inspired every time I watch a tiny home tour...one day. Thanks for sharing.

[@sammic974]

Good to see a longer couch arrangement. So often that is skimped on. Most people like to sprawl. I loved the wall larder shelving with the stacked mason and kilner jars. Well thought out kitchen. Lovely warm tones.

[@MoRob]

this is a really excellent example of regular normal usage, cost saving breakdowns, and how a couple can successfully work in small spaces together and still make it. I love this. And that hidden cat caddy...brilliant, I need to implement that in ours.

[@debrakay1096]

My favorite part is how you both say Please & Thank you more. Many couple forget that. I'd like a tiny art gallery for my back yard.

[@oOMissPoodlePantsOo]

That cat was the STAR of this show!

[@TheresaPowers]

No it wasn't. The best part was when they said that they are more communicative with each other and say please and thank you more.

[@valeriegriner5644]

Absolutely! I love the build, but the cat was the STAR!

[@violetbennett2407]

Why do people feel the need to tell us what all they in their storage spaces?

[@scotnick59]

Seems to me that he has a pretty neat Dad, too

[@hikingmarie9]

Jenna, I have watched all of your videos multiple times. As we draw close to starting our build, this spring, I am returning to your videos because you cover the nuts and bolts of the inner workings of the tiny house. I greatly appreciate this information. I can educate myself about a system and then watch/ read one of your interviews and see the technology implemented in a tiny house. All the best. Thanks again for what you do.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

For sure they'll cherish this more since they build it together. Rooting for you guys! ✨

[@cyndifoore7743]

I really like your house, wood gives such warmth. Love the litter box system and how laid back your cat is. He doesn’t mind strangers being around at all.

[@xk5xe]

Aww the cat asleep on the sofa is such a cutie!! :) Aside from that I have to say I really do like this tiny house. It is simple and open yet extremely well thought. The top elements of the house for me are the desk/dining/telly area, the kitty litter with access through the bathroom for kitty, and the round shower which is unique, adds incredible character, yet it is so practical! Chris and Malissa also look really happy living in it which for me adds to the appeal of tailoring a space to meet your needs and really to make you happy and comfortable. Thanks for sharing this, its really a great inspiration!

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

Sweet house. Sweet couple. Love the peaceful vibe.

[@rhondah.1478]

That cat is living its best life. And his ladder skills are really impressive.

[@darlenemoak63]

That is some of the most beautiful pantry storage I have seen & I have been watching tiny house/van/RV videos for a while. Very well done! I love you house!

[@143summer28]

I love how the big kitty always wants to in every shot.. if you see my cat on the couch, she'll there the whole time.

[@genkatqltr737]

143summer28. Obviously kitty (SubCat?), loves his kitty parents very much and feels very secure and loved! 🐾🐈🐾🐱💕

[@shorkieyorkie8262]

Such a generous video to enjoy; I will watch this and share it often. Hats off to this couple for their accomplishments. What's exceptionally lovely are their loving, cooperative, joyous and admirable adaptive natures. It's also clear that planning played a major role in their success. Subcat raises this video on many levels!

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks so much for introducing the TTH, Chris, & Malissa. What a great couple, what a great dwelling.

[@Frantic618]

This video is the best I've seen (out of many)! Thoughtful and common sense galore. And a man who will wash dishes and empty the cat's litter box! WHOOHOO!

[@evahutchison968]

What a cute couple and thumbs up to their tiny house design.The one that really stole the show on FREED up living was CATCAT!!!

[@bardamu9662]

Great couple and great tiny house ... I like its style ... minimalist and the cat is gorgeous! Kudos and best of luck and happiness!

[@ZalthorAndNoggin]

What a fabulous couple. Really grounded and clearly very happy...and then there's Subcat...what a gorgeous, gorgeous animal. I love him to bits [see my "name" includes Noggin, my cat]! As for the house it's glorious. Malissa has designed something really special and I love all the tiny windows. The kitchen is just great as is the wine barrel shower. What an amazing idea. Thanks very much for showing us such a functional and beautiful little home.

[@busybeenature9092]

They make a cute couple. I liked their kitchen rack, kept properly with jars, and filled with things.

[@vivalaleta]

We put a 36" wide door on our small flat, where there had been a 32" one, plus a ginormous window and I love the doll house look it gave our place. To each her own. :)

[@littleshepherdfarm2128]

My wife and I love watching these tiny house films with you Jenna. But every time I tell her let's build one and move into it she comes up with excuses :Too much stuff an nowhere to keep it and it makes no sense to put it into storage" is the usual one. She cracks me up. I'm ready and willing to drop everything and do it. Been ready to do this for years. In fact, back in 2013 when I lost my over the road business and was looking for work out of state I was actually thinking of just buying some cheap land out of the way and starting over with a tiny home, bt they weren't a big item then. And look how far they've come! People who do this obviously have set backs and have to make some major changes but in the long run it's worth it because it's theirs and they can take it anywhere if they get evicted. I love that thought and have always wanted my own place away from everyone else. So...we love your show and these wonderful people who do this. What a nice thing they're doing for themselves and can teach their kids later on.

[@tishuk9433]

Can understand how u r passionate about living tiny but stuck...😔

[@joydasko5171]

I know this was from 5 years ago, but this is by far my favorite tiny house I've ever seen. I will use this house as inspiration for mine 🥰

[@4everHolySpirit]

Love your tiny house. You did a good job with it @ the solar thing was also a smart idea. What I also REALLY liked was when you said how you said thank you to each other @ made it a point to give each other their space, @ I believe only couples who are truly in love as you are could live in a tiny house, because you're not selfish to each other. God Bless.

[@kristaharmon7584]

What a cute couple! A great house. Sweet kit-cat. And the lowest monthly bills. Man! They are living large!

[@adrondube]

The Tiny Tack House and Vina's Tiny House, to me, are still two of the most beautiful THOWs to emulate.

[@marabethf7263]

+Yeah, right. Oh, thanks for the acronym! I always like using them, and have been falling in love with THOWs this week, so the timing is perfect!

[@brendadrew834]

Love it! I actually like Tiny Homes with the warm wood interior instead of all white interiors which are kind of cold! Much cozier with warm woods which look great with some green plants! Cute cat! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

[@3dchick]

It's fantastic to see someone with high tech in a tiny. Im a 3d artist, too, and spend a lot of time figuring out how to incorporate my equipment into a future tiny! Great episode!

[@td5444]

LOVE IT ALL. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO GO OUT AND TAKE ON THE ADVENTURE OF BUILDING MY OWN.

[@abiroberts7120]

I would never want to live in such a small space but I love watching these videos

[@gillkaramani5545]

You are a lovely couple with a very cute and well organized tiny home.... ALL THE BEST

[@teesha123]

Woah! The blooper at the end was crazy! Humming bird in background, funny face, dog peeing, humming bird video bombing in front! Insane! haha. You can't plan that stuff!

[@kimdawcatgirl]

Kitty coming down the ladder was super cute! What a big guy. Couldn't hear what they called him...sub cat? or something like that. He makes this tiny house a home to me; I love cats!

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

I saw so much that I liked in this video about tiny house living. Here is my list. 1) Cats make awesome tiny house pets even with an interior liter box. 2) This couple are so symbiotic. I loved the way they talked and worked together. 3) The home it self is designed to work of grid, this is perfect for tiny houses. 4) The smaller door. 5) The roomy loft 6) The warm wood tones 7) The soft kitchen lighting. 8)The pocket bathroom door with the outhouse moon carved into it. 9) The indoor metal water tank that pings longer when it's almost empty. 10) The incinolet toilet. (keep in mind that they have solar offgrid power only. ) 11) The solar off grid power. 12) The fact that they planed the size and upgradability of the house around their future expanding family. 13) Their miniscule $300 lot rent. 14) The beautiful stain and innumerable little details of their house and how they live and work together that makes their home and home life a shining example of what every body's house and home life should be like. *BRAVO!*

[@desktorp]

Anthony Rizzo Toxoplasmosis doesn't go away.

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

***** But they have it vented to the outside.

[@desktorp]

Anthony Rizzo Bro, if you think a vent is going to stop cat shit particles from infecting their blood and brain, you're wrong. It's one thing to choose to live in something the size of a standard jail cell, but choosing to cram a kitty in there really brings the filth to another level. I love cats, but they're disgusting animals.

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

***** I don't think you do love cat's. I've owned dogs and cats all my life and my cats have always been cleaner than my dogs. Cat's also take up less space and in some cases spend the majority of their time outside the house. Also the fact that you compare tiny houses to a jail cell also tells me that they wouldn't be a good candidate for your living arrangements. A person who lives in a jail cell is a prisoner. Do you understand that? A person who lives in a tiny house has made a conscience choice to downsize belongings and useless space and live around what really matters only! Can you see where a cat would fit into this? Some people need their pets be they cats, dog or other for companionship. A cat can be an integral part of tiny house living.

[@AnthonyRizzo2]

Tenebarum I guess it would depend on where the house is parked and if they have access to toilets elsewhere.

[@helenbeee519]

this is the only traditional bedroom loft without dormers that doesnt leave me feeling claustrophobic. Its a great design. Thanks for the tour. :)

[@reesesjournals8185]

Love the simplicity inside 👍🏽

[@whatdanthinksof]

That cat is everything I need.

[@luluparl1245]

☀️😄

[@Frantic618]

DELIGHTFUL! And so well-thought-out. And a lovely cat, too... he does like to be in all the shots, doesn't he?

[@49ersrules32]

You Guys rock every video shows that tiny house are nothing like RVs but a awesome home that you can live your whole life happy

[@Epiha]

I love that cat, I want to pet and hug that giant fur ball. So cute! Great and well thought out tiny house. I love this channel as it looks no only on the inside of a tiny house but external features as well.

[@judyhobday5334]

really enjoyed the tour with this sweet couple and their kitty.

[@outdoorsboy]

Love the home and the use of space. I also have a few (yes...3!) cats, so I love your hidden litter box space with the access door. But the solar!!! Yes! Love that. Thanks for sharing

[@katiemartell6520]

Great house, sweet couple, smart cat. He’s a treat-spotter cat like ours is. I love their smart cat litter arrangement!

[@SHADOWBOXERBAYBEE]

the perfect couple + sub cat lol Truly a great video of how this works for them!

[@chadsullivan8013]

I wish you knew how excited i get when i see you post a new video..... you guys are the best and i can’t thank you enough for sharing you journey with all of us...and all that it takes to put these kick ass videos together....

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

Thank you!

[@StainedglassWings]

Ditto, these videos have become one of my favourite things to watch. And since its on youtube and there are no commercials they are often the length of a 30min tv show! Love all the details that they go over and all the ideas I get from each episode

[@Maaariella]

Such a lovely house and lovely couple!

[@ballet07]

Yes! Adapt and be flexible!😁 Lovely home

[@GM-fd5pl]

Love that adorable couple. They'd make great parents too.

[@kimberlyjohnson7961]

You guys are smart. No need to be in a big house. Big mortgage payment Stressful life.

[@naim27bakar]

Love the house....its beautiful, tidy and complete with everything... The couple are wonderful and the cat is cute 😄😄

[@jmeyer3rn]

Na'im A.Bakar There WAS the dog outside. I assume it was their dog, but maybe a neighbor's. Does he get to come indoors when there's no camera crew hanging around?

[@missamymay]

+Judith Meyer Its the host's (camera crew) dog. Watch some of their other videos, the dog is in most :)

[@jmeyer3rn]

OK.

[@dianenicolelhertzler1622]

Really liked your Tiny Tack House. I can see you put a lot of thought into it and that it works well for both of you. Thanks for showing others how great "Tiny House Living" can be. Take care.

[@lisavaldez9183]

I really love the style and design of this home!! I'm graduating from college this spring and just can't wait to save up for my own tiny house. Thanks for giving me more home ideas and again, your tiny house is awesome!

[@yourmelody1493]

Any update on the tiny home?

[@mayamyu]

Great idea with the natural wool as isolator - I love it 🤔⭐✨🎉👑💫😍

[@tylerasmith52]

Love this channel so much. The music, the interviews, everything. Just makes me happy about my future tiny house and life!!!

[@breker19er]

Great design! One of the best tiny houses I have seen!

[@joh22293]

Every time I watch one of these tiny house videos I am getting an ad where the first shot in the ad is of a kitchen twice as large as these houses all by itself.

[@Nairuulagch]

Very smart couple, plus what a greenish lifestyle. Imagine those tons of cooling and heating saved bills.

[@earthlingbrittany]

Malissa & Chris thanks for the tour! It's great to see your TH! =)

[@TinyHouseCustoms]

Hands down the best one yet.. This ones going to be a major hit!

[@birgitt1963ful]

Tiny House Customs ooo

[@roycelane8318]

This is of the nicest tiny houses I've seen, I'm ready to make the move in a year from 3500 sq,ft, with just me and 3 cats lol.. I'm not sure about composting ,but I did see the incinolet head and that does look appealing, but I do not know enough about both yet

[@meekatomey-alleyne8160]

Just found this channel - love it! It's giving me ideas for a tiny house in England.

[@brendalengyel876]

Love it! Cute cat too! I like how he gave the "tour" with you!

[@Septentria]

i like the way your cat goes down the ladder . a 3 * litter ! Nice and functional home and gorgeous couple. Very interesting the way you experiment a deeper communication.. Glad to see a sticker of Action for animals :)

[@MammaRaw]

I noticed that Action for Animals magnet on your fridge! Cute space.

[@cordelloz]

what a lovely couple and tiny house!

[@kb9847]

Tiny House Giant Journey I love this show. You do such a great job of interviewing and it just feels like we are chatting over coffee. Thanks for putting so much effort into your channel. :)

[@TinyHouseGiantJourney]

R unners Thank you so much! Glad to see that the effort pays off :)

[@jaineehayes5482]

im so sorry

[@suzanner8473]

fantastic house, fantastic people, fantastic tour - I found this really helpful with all the info about water, grey water, costs involved etc. Thank you! :-)

[@zarahp2098]

What a LOVELY and well planned house! I adore this. :D

[@juxtn]

I LOVE!!! the shower, I watched a ton of these small house videos and you're shower is the most original and best idea.

[@christineloggie4785]

Love Love Love this house!!! Beautiful job - Thank you for sharing!

[@crystalheart9]

Loved the tour of this lovely tiny house. Kitty looks happy there too >^..^

[@jvertrees1988]

Kitty is the true star of this show! Meow!

[@TwilightMysts]

I loved the way the loft was done. The 2 lamps against the front wall, the mat in front of the ladder, and the plants and nicknacks on each side. The design of the great room was nice too. I think the side entrance designs feel so much more roomy and organized. Other than the little porch, I am not a fan of the back entrance tiny houses I am afraid.

[@bundamadina1505]

beautiful house ... wow .... inspired to make a mini house like this

[@bethminer2222]

I love their house!

[@katiebrown6599]

Such a cute house! One of my favorites you have shown.

[@TheMrsliferette]

I think your tiny house is the best from all the ones I've seen :)

[@rebeccabrear4456]

I love your tiny house. One of the nicest ones I've seen. Thank you for the tour:) I live in Kitsap County, Washington.

[@shabbychicbohodotcom]

I want a tiny house, they're so cute. I've downsized twice and am trying to get to the point where I can go this tiny. It's so much harder than it looks but I'm determined to keep trying.

[@wly9028]

I'm quite impressed with the wine barrel for shower space. More often than not, bathroom fixtures costs quite a lot. Recycled wine barrel for shower is quite genius

[@amadayanes4266]

Beatiful and look very practical. Thanks for show it.

[@cristobalmartinez410]

Love this gorgeous home! Congrats!

[@iratepirate4756]

Love that cat who's got to be in the middle of everything, "who wants to show off the house, kitty wants to show off

[@ravenfury77]

This place is awesome. Luv the design and wood work put into it the craftsmanship is very nice. When I put mine together I will be using a bit of this one and a few others. Keep on the journey.

[@gerrigeorge6459]

I started using peatmoss in my litterbox instead of litter, it works GREAT! I just start with a very small layer and in the evenings sprinkle enough to cover any business done that day, no smell at all, after a week or two change it out, rinse pan and viola we start again.

[@mickimc2883]

Beautiful home!

[@Saral_Lekhi]

Such a charming house.👍

[@bunnymad5049]

Awesome! Thanks so much. We were thinking of a tv, but they're heavy for swivelling so I'm showing hubby. xxx Gorgeous home.

[@ginnylorenz5265]

Beautiful home. I love all the wood inside. Also.....lovely happy couple and darling kitty. Thank you.

[@philiq18]

Nice tour. I love that you both keep improving the production of your videos. Really great stuff and I'm a fan of the blooper reel at the end. :)

[@bonniegarber9915]

Very nice! I see you have the Fiesta mugs, I use those mugs for so much!! Oatmeal, soup, strawberry shortcake, just about everything not put on a plate! Lol.... good choice!
