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.
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!
Awww...Sweet Holly...thank you for sharing that beautiful quote...I am honored. 🙏😘❤️
Hi Holly. I love that saying, beautiful! And yes, it definitely describes Tamara
@@claudiaglows thanks Claudia! 💜 as that quote applies to you too. You ladies are wonderful people!
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.
@@cherish78748 we miss our Angel Mamas. 👼❤️
Your home may be tiny, but it's big on charm. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
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.)
U look just like ur mom. I am so sorry she passed so young.
400 square feet of heaven! What a difference a season makes in your yard.
Really so cozy and inviting. Is it your house or your aunt 's house? Lucky to have someone give you this special home, she is another angel in your life. Beautiful mom as well, all the best!
Would LOVE to see it again in the summer. My husband is older and not in great health so I am starting to contemplate what my life will look like solo when I downsize. Thank you for sharing your adorable home.
Thank you Anna. I am definitely planning a summer tour which will include the gardens for sure. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. ❤️
Sorry to hear about your husband, sending you the warmest hug x
Sending hugs!
Hi Anna, hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Anna?
Your "accidental dream house" is charming. You have everything you need minus clutter. Enjoy your time there.
🙏❤️
That's one of the things I love most about tiny living..... How well thought out and utilised storage is...also how well people improvise for storage and that, because there's no room to have loads of "stuff", you just the to keep the things that mean the most to you and make you the most happy. 💘🏡💘
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
I love small houses... no place for junk... only stuff you really need...
Right!? I have always been interested in tiny houses...but was a little worried about actually living in one...luckily I LOVE it. It makes life very simple...tiny house/big life 🏠🌈❤️
Yes! People this days are obsessed with how much square footage they have and that only calls for the need of getting for stuff/furniture and just owning more and more.
Your home is so quaint and cozy. Anyone could easily see why you love your home!
I love to see a house filled with objects that hold memory and bring beauty. I have a picture of my mother smiling at me on my dresser. When things are especially troubling, her smile seems to reassure me that everything is going to be all right. Your house is warm and inviting!
Thank you Ginny. Our Mamas are with us always ❤️
You had me at the front door! I've been wanting to go tiny for at least ten years but my husband is dead set against it😡 Your house is perfect! The location is perfect! What a blessing. I would never leave the property!!
I fell in love with a tiny cottage and bought it asap. it is a 600 sq ft home and I love every corner. it feels beachy and cozy and now renovating it vintage style.
Just discovered your channel, and I love your house. I want a tiny house so bad, I just turned 66 and I'm ready just can't convince my husband. Your skin is beautiful and your makeup videos are great. I worked in the cosmetic industry for over 40 years, still can't get enough
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! 😱
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.
By America do you mean the continent? Or the USA?
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.
@@gloriaterry333 I guess it’s the USA and Canada so North America
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
It just feels welcoming ,comfortable ,warm and what a home should be.
I can see why you wouldn’t want to leave. Your home is charming. You’ve made the most of the space and a knack for making it livable!
❤️
Honestly it doesn't look too small! Great job utilizing every nook and cranny.
Also thank you for showing the picture of your gorgeous mother. She was really stunning. I loved her hand written lil note. It was touching and moving seeing this.
🙏❤️
Hi Nadine, hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
@@MikeTyson0700 amen 🙏🏻
@@nadineF smile 😊
Where are you from if I may ask , I’m from Key West Florida.
Oh Tamara, I totally understand why you are in love with your tiny house. You have made it very inviting, warm and cozy
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you Paula, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
Your cottage is absolutely adorable! It's cozy and quaint and I just love it! I cried when you talked about the note cards your mother left and how you cherish her handwriting. Gosh, I miss my mom so much. I am lucky enough to have a few notes and cards from my mom. I love to look at her handwriting and it just makes me feel close to her even though she is no longer here :)
Our Angel Mamas are always with us ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today, hope you’re having a wonderful day over there?
I feel the same way as both of you about my cherished pieces of mom’s handwriting including the last card I got from her before she died rather unexpectedly (17 years ago, at 67. I’m 61 now.) Never heard anyone share this same thought before. Thanks for the fun tour of your charming cottage and for all your tips shared so lovingly.
I love it. Thanks. I am 70 now living in SWAustralia and love small houses. Keep happy and safe. Love your doggie. I have a rescue rag doll cat. Blessings to you.
Keeps you minimalist , giving or selling away and truly using just what you need ...
Your cottage is so lovely. Your mom was beautiful. Love her affirmations.
This was so fun, thank you! I love your wonderfully cozy home and can understand why it's your 'surprise dream house'!
Thank you Kimberly! ❤️
Great home 🏡 especially just for one. Cozy, Curious what state are you in. Love the snow and summer. It nice that you have lake. Does it bring a breeze at night.
So nice 🥺
The next time I catch myself feeling frustrated about not having enough storage in my 1050 sq. ft. condo, I'll think of you in your absolutely enchanting cottage and smile. Then I'll be inspired to get creative.
I love your cute tiny house, it's very charming. Bosley is also adorable.
🙏❤️
Your tiny cottage is lovely. The open space concept makes it seem much bigger than it is. You have organized your space very well. I enjoyed the tour.
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
I love your tiny home. It's perfect! ☺
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.
I don’t blame you Tamara just to live in that area near the lake and the beach I would live in a small house too if I was on my own. I love small, cosy houses and you have made yours so beautiful and you have managed the storage challenge so well. Your little dog is adorable. Thank you so much for letting us have a tour around your lovely beach house. I bet it’s amazing there in the summertime 🥰💜
Thank you Katrina! I am planning a garden tour for sure this summer! Stay tuned ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Katrina, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
I could live in a tiny house . I would love it!!
Your home is so cozy and cheerful. Such a reflection of you. I can see why you like it. I’m from Minnesota and I know that you are in Minnetonka I am assuming by the lake. Such a beautiful area. I can see why you wouldn’t want to leave there. Thank you for sharing your home with us. So fun to see where you film from.
Thank you Cindy! We've been SO lucky to have a mild winter here in MN...so far! Especially with limited to no travel. Spring is right around the corner! ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today, hope you’re having a wonderful day Cindy?
I love it. I pray God gives me an opportunity to hv a place like this.
Lovely home. The last 5 minutes was the best part because you were straight to the point and gave a panoramic view that summed up the entire 22 minute tour.
It’s like a She-shed, I love it! I need my own cozy little cottage like this!
❤️
So creative! I love small homes. We downsized to 1300 sq ft , which sounds huge BUT there are 3 adults living here! Bosley is adorable, we have a doodle just like him but brown. Be sure to share the summer tour . I would stay there forever, sooo cozy. Xo
Sounds super cozy! Aren't doodles the best!? I am planning a garden tour for sure so stay tuned. 🙏😘❤️
So cozy (Bosley blends in so well. LOL!) Love the paintings, particularly your daughter's self-portrait. Your mother was beautiful; you look a lot like her. Charming house. Thank you for inviting us in.
🙏❤️
It’s cozy and perfect. You are inspirational for women...you’re happy, kind, content, beautiful. I truly do aspire to be like you as I enter my 50’s....enjoying nature with a sense of peace. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️
Awww...thank you for your kind sweet words ❤️
This is perfectly said. I too am close to 50 and I strive to encompass the traits she displays. This house is so cozy and great for her and her cute dog!♥️
I love your precious home. What a perfect jewel box. The one and only thing I didn’t see and could not live without is washer and dryer. Thanks for sharing. (Please consider another home tour in the early summer.). You and your angel mom are beautiful.
Thank you Kelley! can't wait until spring/summer when I can share my garden 🌻🌺🌻
Absolutely adorable. Our son is a home builder and is building us a tiny home 400 square ft and this gives us a great idea of what to expect. Love it. 😁💛
I could 100% live in this space! My apartment is 465 sq ft and I do just fine in it. Love all of your artwork and your mom was truly beautiful. The lockets from her are so gorgeous. I love the dried flowers from your garden and all of the windows/light you get! Bosley is adorable! I think I'd part the greens by the sleeping area so he could see outside though. Somebody needs to keep an eye on the neighborhood! 😄 Thanks for sharing your wonderful and cozy space with us!
Me too!
Love the fact that you have color🌈 and mix of everything personal, the paintings, travel souvenirs, your moms affirmations. I keep alot of the same too. Impressed with how well you've organized every little inch . Seems like you have it just the way you want it and are enjoying.
Thank you Sharon! I am so glad you enjoyed my rustic little cottage. ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Sharon?
I love your little home. It is cosy and functional. Your treasures are proudly displayed and not stored away not being enjoyed. My favourite part of this video is the affirmation on your fridge in your mum’s handwriting. That made me choke up. Just the right balance of not over cluttered and tidy. Thank you for sharing your home with us. ❤️
I love how you decorated your tiny home..you designed it with what you have and everything goes well together. Nothing cookie cutter. I like the warm colours with other bright pops of colour to make your living area cozy and welcoming. All your decor reflects your personality..Nice job🌺🌵🍃🌎
What an adorable little cottage. I would live there in a heartbeat!❣
Wonderful lovely little home. Just right for our stage in life. So cozy and charming.
i love this. Thanks for sharing it. 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. I have lived in a cabin in the Tetons, an old Adobe in Santa Fe and now in a 750 sq ft cottage in Santa Barbara. All great. I love your space.
Hi Tamara, I absolutely love your cottage, it is so darling! It is cozy, functional and you have all that you need. You have it set up so cute, I love the birds and angels. The picture of your Ma is beautiful, she is right there with you at all times. So sorry you lost her at such a young age. Home is where the heart is and I can tell that your heart is right there. Bosley is so adorable! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! Much love to you, Sheila
Aww...thank you so much Sheila. 🙏🏠❤️
You are a pro in showing us your beautiful home...it was not in a hurry n the info you gave us is sharp
That is the most open, spacious feeling and warmest, homey and cozy "tiny" home I have seen in all the years I have been viewing Tiny homes on You tube presentations ! I LOVE IT.
Thank you so much Elaine! I've been addicted to tiny house videos for years as well...there are some amazing ones out there! Considering this was not build with storage or function in mind, I find it suprisingly workable. I definitely lack ceiling height...but maybe the windows and sunlight makes up for that somewhat. 🙏🏠❤️
😍I love your tiny cottage. Super cool how you upcycled cupcake tins to store little stuff in your bathroom. One thyme I noticed is that your whole families full of artists which is amazing. BUT 😣 I have to re-watch this video again because I was distracted by your butiful hair. 🤗I'm renting a 300sqfoot now and love getting ideas from video's like these. Thank you for sharing👏👏👏
Tamara....I think I grew up close to where you live. it's crazy to think, back in the day, people would travel 30 mins for their weekend getaways. I adore your home....its definitely a hidden gem. Its heartbreaking to see they have torn so many of these cottages down to build these outrageous size homes. I have not ventured far....I now live on the most western part of the lake.
Hey Neighbor! I have lived in the area all my life as well..and yes, SO sad to see the charming cottages replaced with ridiculously huge mansions. If I ever win the lottery, I'll buy a huge lake mansion and knock it down and build a perfect small house. ❤️
I live in a studio apt about the size of your home. Yes I can so relate the limited storage in a tiny home. But I’ve learned to adapt to what I have and love it. I’m now doing makeovers in my home. Nothing like the joys of living in a tiny home. Yours is so cozy I love it.
Don'T THINK i could live without curtains but a cute cottage.
No curtains in the bathroom? Yikes. 😳
@@cindyprice546 I see nails above the window so I bet she places a covering over it when showering.
I hate curtains! But I live in the Shetland Islands so don’t really need them as it’s very quiet!
Awesome thank you. I lived in a tiny house in Florida, I loved it. I now live in Wisconsin. My house is now 900 ft.², double my Florida home.... it’s much easier to do it in the south than the north LOL.
One thing I did is I had one huge piece of furniture, an antique buffet. I’m a furniture artist so I stored all my paints and tools in it. In my home and also doubled as a kitchen island and cut off from the kitchen....
A regular buffet would be too high for your TV, I think. But you could do a low profile mid century buffet put TV and shelves on top for more storage.
I say buffet because often dressers have a lot of wasted space....
I think antique, artist painted furniture, would give more hominess. If you paint you could use the colors from your daughters painting. Go crazy with the paint,. Look at turquoise iris here on TH-cam for inspiration.
I miss, miss, miss my tiny home. Thank you so much for sharing.
Loved learning about your tiny house. It is so charming and cozy! And the view!!! Especially enjoyed learning about your family. Tears filled my eyes when you spoke of your mom. And your daughter and aunt are so talented. Thank you for inviting us into your home.
Aww...Barbara, thank you so much for your sweet comment. ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
Your home is charming, lots of windows, great layout, very cozy. I love it!
I think this is absolutely lovely. As a minimalist, the amount of things are quite high (for me), however, when when I think of the word "charming", this is exactly the kind of a house I would think of...welcoming, interesting, with many things to look over and wonder about.
It is a lovely tiny house. It is so charming. Such a haven of memories and comfort. I too have a little cottage. It is a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the world. Your home is beautiful. Thank you.
Love the fact it's your "accidental" dream home!
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.
Hi Tamara! I live in a tiny house too with limited storage. I put a dresser in my living room for clothes and hung the tv up on the wall above it. Made it few more breathable. :) I love your cottage you did a great job it’s super cozy
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❤
Love your home! Your mother was so pretty, you look exactly like her!
Thank you Sharon. My Mom was a true beauty inside and out. She was my best friend. I can only hope to be half the woman she was. ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Sharon, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
I watched your video a year or so ago and loved your cottage. I’ve been thinking of it for some reason for a couple weeks now and low and behold it came up when I searched for tiny cottages tonight. I watched your tour again and loved it even more. Thanks so much for it. ❤
Your house is just like you - colorful, efficient, and cozy! I'd never manage, since I'm claustrophobic. But I love it! 😍😘
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. ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Kelly?
Thank you for sharing your warm, inviting and cozy cottage. It was a pleasure❤
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!
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Dee, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
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..........
I love your little cottage by the lake. I love that you use what you have and I love your slowly collected art. I also love all those windows and your lush plants. I live in a house with my boyfriend of 13 years. Our house is 582 square feet. It needs alot of work but it is 100%paid for.
Thank you for inviting me into your home! I love it! I have a small home to myself, but wouldn't call it my dream home because it's not by the beach, 😂, I wish more TH-camrs would do house tours! That was fun!
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 🏡!
Thank you! Your farm cottage sounds perfect! ❤️
I love your home. It’s so cozy and perfect for everything you need.
❤️
What a charming home, big for my needs and habits. I love it. Bless you and your memories of your mother. Sixty, by todays standards, is really young. May angels surround you.
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.
Thank you Leticia! Enjoy your sweet cottage! 🏠🌈❤️
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.
Love it so inspiring. We don't need a big house.
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Christine, hope you’re having a wonderful day?
You are so Sweet to give us a home tour ❤️. It is lovely there esp. with all the windows, your beautiful colors, and the neat areas for storage. Thank you for the tour ‼️
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
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 ❤️
Out of curiosity I visited your channel after seeing the words "Tiny Cottage Tour" in the menu bar on far right. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing how you decorated your small spaces with such vivid colors and functional pieces. Your mother was lovely. My mother died at age 63, also ... much too young. The Mexican glassware is so very pretty! You have splendid taste in decorating, Tamara. This vlog just made my day brighter.
Our Angel Mamas will always be with us ❤️
I love your tiny home and the area you live in is such a blessing. I just found your channel and so inspired with your share on makeup and life. Thank you!
This is my first visit to your channel, and I was delighted to see your beautiful cottage and how you have utilized the space. It reminds me of the one bedroom apartment I had before remarrying. My sofa was a hide-a-bed for family visits and my bedroom was large enough for my sewing area where I made six bridesmaid dresses when my daughter got married. But I was so content there, and grew flowers on my little patio and had a swing, too. Now I have a small room for my quilting, hubby has a tiny office, and guests stay in the finished basement. But we still keep things as simple as possible. We open all the blinds as soon as we get up. We have a swing in back and a glider in front. And yet someday we will probably downsize as we are getting older and health issues arise, but it will be beautiful, too.
You have made this season of your life full of beauty and thoughtfulness and light and love. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to viewing your videos and especially a summer tour! Blessings!!!
I love love love your tiny cottage and the decoration you’ve done is fantastic, it’s so cozy! ❤️❤️❤️
Your tiny home is perfect.My home is 600sq feet so not much bigger but I love little homes.They are cozy and have a warmer homey feel to them and less to clean.
So often people live in houses or homes way bigger than what they need and end up not using a lot of the space.
Your little home is perfect for you.
🥰
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💕
Thank you Cheryl! Good question! No laundry here...but my Aunt lives very close by so I do laundry there very conveniently. ❤️
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Cheryl?
You have tons of storage , your kitchen and the beautiful table is wonderful. That house is just beautiful. I love those windows by your breakfast area.
Your house is just so cute and cozy. I love all the windows. I had to downsize and live in a 490 sq, ft. Apartment. I only have one window in my bedroom. I do have a closet which is jam packed. You did a nice job decorating.
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Emily?
you're so creative and there is no shortage of functionality or good use of space. All this in a versatile vintage and pop art backdrop! love it all and thank you so very much.
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!
Awww I love your quaint tiny home. I feel like it gives you a hug.❤️
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.♥️♥️♥️
What a charming space you've made for yourself. I have a small place up north that my husband and I use for small trips. I've never done anything to it. I left it just as we bought it. As I've gotten older, I've wanted to do something to make it cozy and more charming. I got wonderful ideas as a result of your little tour. Turns out you can turn something from drab to special, using some decorating tips and tricks. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. I found your channel because of the garden tour. I love garden tours. That led me to this video. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos! ❤️
I loved this awesome tour - I always wondered about (& admired) your cozy-looking place. It looks so familiar to me cuz I have the same layout in my NYC studio! I so envy your closeness to the beach/lake & the big sunny windows & cute garden. But you might envy my sweeping city view & 5 closets & marble bathroom sink. I have a dishwasher I never use, so you’re not missing anything there. Living in a small place, you learn quickly you can’t be a saver/pack-rat & life is a constant swirl of purging, right? 😉
Thank you so much...I am so glad you enjoyed the tour! For sure constant purging and editing! I love NYC...My cousin had a tiny place for years in the East Village and I visited many times. (she now lives in Up State and I love visiting her there as well!). How wonderful to have sweeping city views and closets and beautiful finishes and a studio that was actually DESIGNED to maximize space. Your home sounds wonderful! ❤️
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.
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. ❤️
I love it!. I would live there in a minute.
Hi 👋 , hope you’re safe over there, hope this year brings happiness and prosperity to all Americans and all over the world 🌎
How are you doing today Susan, hope you’re having a wonderful day
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..
Tamara,
I loved this! I was just thinking I wonder what Tamara’s tiny house looks like and I bet it is lovely 🧡 and It is!!! My aunt had a home on Long Lake for years. Not sure where you are.
Laguna!!! I live here now but will be heading back towards my Naples Long Beach salon soon. Your daughter ( and aunt) are so talented 🙌🏻I love how you kept saying ... Challenging 😉😂
Have a blessed day Tamara and everyone. 🙌🏻🍑Lisa
Thank you Lisa! Long Lake is not too far from me! Good luck with your next move in the California sunshine. ❤️

I’m so tired of moving! We have moved for the salons 7xs in 11 years!!! This next move is our last and I hope HOME🧡🍑🙌🏻
I think your house is perfect, you found a purpose for everything, is charming, cozy, organized, clean and very homey and like you said in a perfect place 👌 I just wonder how beautiful have to be specially in spring and summer 😍 with your doggy having fun outside, God bless you 🤗
OMG I see where you get your fabulous looks...your mother was so beautiful! You know I loved this video and I've secretly really wanted to see this but didn't want to be rude and ask LOL Do you ever get nervous that people can look in your windows and see you? I'd have more window light in our home if it wasn't for ShyGuy...I mean it's like a blackout in here because he is so afraid people can see us in the house LOL I think if it was just me I could do this ... I THINK LOL Love you...love love love your tiny home! It really reflects the person that you are...beautiful xoxo
Aww...Mary thank you! My Mama was a true beauty inside and out. I miss her. I should have pointed out my window coverings because I have several people worried about my privacy...but during the day I let the sun shine in. Plus I have a ferocious watch dog protecting me...not...but he does bark and no one could ever surprise me. I am always so happy when you stop by...you know I've been part of the Fritzy Family for years...becuase I adore YOU! ❤️
At night I want total privacy and during the day everything is wide open. I laugh when I say that because we have only 3 windows and a single French door.
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”
We lived in a 5 hundred square ft home.. all four of us.. we had plenty of room because no wasted space 2/1 and garage..loved it!
