I love every inch of this place! So many people would be so much happier if they would simply go back to doing things the way we used to. I admire everything you and your husband are doing, God bless you!
She and her husband are so industrious--they're so blessed and fortunate to have so many skills which they have been able to use to build up their homestead--and they enjoy their hard work too. I so admire all the wonderful things they have built to live off the land and off grid in such a peaceful place. Just having a creek would be enough for me--love the comforting, serene sound of a flowing creek in the country.
FREEDOM is priceless!!! Bravo to this couple for breaking free of the corporate world & downsizing. 💪 Puppy is adorable & so happy running around freely. 💙
I love you, sis. You have a beautiful heart. I don't know you, but I feel that good people with beautiful hearts are rare. So, I wish you all the best with your life and husband. Thank you for the tour.
I love your content. I am African, i always tell my friends that one has to rescue him/herself. You cant complain without taking action to rescue yourself. I love the way you found ways to live a better life. Good thinking skills. Blessings to you.
All those times you were laid off, it was a blessing and when it happened the last time and you quit, this was the time that it was meant to change your life for the better. What a wonderful homely and calm place you have made for yourselves. Well done to you both. We don't need a lot of stuff to be happy. We just need to live without stress and love what you have and are with. Your place is beautiful and you have such an aura and grace about you. Hope you do more videos for us to watch how you are doing.
What a brilliant setup! The creativity and practicality combination of this property is clever and aesthetically attractive. This is REAL living. Congratulations to you and your husband on your very many achievements. 🦋
What a great setup! And she's absolutely right - simplicity is a big key to joyful living. Homesteading is work, but it comes with a lot of freedom - including freedom from being laid off! Very inspiring video.
This is the most inventive, original, creative design for tiny house living that I've ever seen. Kudos to you and your husband for all you're doing to keep life simple, yet complete!👍 Blessings and Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🙏🤗
I'm so happy for this lady and her hubby. She lives VERY well with only a tiny fridge, becuz what she eats is mostly FRESH produce and really, what else does your body need? Hope her homestead runs well throughout the years and the family lives comfortably in retirement. Thanks for the video!
lOVE THIS COUPLE ..this is a HOME ..its so great to have a partner that you live "on purpose" with ...it eliminates the need to be ostentatious and fill you space up with ego ..this is what I call "living true" ...live with what you REALLY need ...it has opened my eyes to redirect what I've designed for my future home ...it REALLY doesn't have to be ANYTHING like what we see .they've nailed it
I am so impressed with what you guys have done on such small acreage. You are so right...we ALL could live without a lot of the things we have. Life could be so simple !
This is fantastic. So proud of y’all for learning on purpose to live w less. A few years ago we gave away 98% of our stuff-three houses worth-and moved into a very small 700’ square (not legit tiny) home. We do have the amenities, albeit no room for a dining table, but we are slowly learning to live without so much, and it is getting to feel so normal and healthy. We have a bit to go, but I see people constantly buying things-so much plastic and so many electronics and so much junk food-and I feel like we have come so far. We did move to a lot that is almost completely as if it is a gravel pit w an inch of top soil on it, full of fleas and rock, so we’ve had to put in raised beds and use whatever rock we dig up to create islands where we use cardboard and then add compost and top it off w mulch to try to at least start somewhere. It took us two and a half summers to get our first zinnia, to be honest, and we celebrated that little flower. It’s been so disappointing, but we are learning as much as we can w full time jobs and all that rock. Next place will hopefully, please the Lord, be more fertile and ready. For now, we are finding farms from which to purchase better food when we can and are getting better at reusing everything we can in whatever ways we can. It’s amazing how much clearer I can think now without all of that “noise” in my mind. Thank you for some really fantastic ideas that we can absolutely use now, even as renters. Coming soon-find some land of our own.
I’m h I love so much of this for you! And I agree I see so much waste in shopping too. I’m glad you got some ideas. And I wish you all the best in finding a perfect place for you to buy! 🎉❤
This is lovely… while I personally couldn’t live this life I totally admire this couple for seeing some land that others would see as trash and they have found a way to resurrect it. The gardens look lovely and it’s amazing how much they already are supplementing the couples lifestyle but her ambition to get it to a much higher percentage is great!
I've seen many of these tiny homes videos, and your entire set up is in my top 5. Everything about the house and homestead is amazing. I'm not sure how much of it I can do as I am partially disabled. You are living my dream. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us!
Thank you 🙏 it helps that we have kept everything small and simple and functional on the acre. It looks so pretty when the gardens are all up and growing! ❤
Wow. I'm so impressed with what you and your husband have accomplished in just a few years. Obviously you are a great team!! I'm also very happy for you. My best wishes and God's blessings.❤😊 Rebecca
This is one of the best place I've seen. I love every inch of this property. This couple has done a great job. This is an example of the way life should be lived. ❤❤❤
This is amazing love your story and what you have done with your property. This is what I want to do thank you for the inspiration. You have given me a better vision for what and how we want to build. God Bless you and keep you safe in your travels of this life.😊
Understandable this took you so much time. So carefully thought out, so amazing. Your serenity is what I admire most, you prioritize living over all else. Thanks so much for sharing...
Fabulous tiny. I absolutely love the way the house looks from the outside and also the 4 degree roof pitch that gives so much extra height. Fair play to you both for creating such a sustainable lifestyle for yourselves!
I do not blame you for quitting the corporate world. I left it a long time ago. Broke and happy instead of stressed and miserable ❤ love y'alls spot and house 😊
I’ve found that you need to live in a space for a while before you can figure out how best to organize your home & store things. Plus, your needs & tastes change over time. Your home is beautiful. I’m glad that it’s working for you & your husband & that you’re happier. That’s such a blessing. Good for you 👍🏻💐❤️🇨🇦
I completely agree - we started with bare bones and added as we lived in it and changed it as we needed - it’s a huge help in a small space to build simple and grow into it! ❤ thank you so much for the comment. 💞🙏
Super smart and resourceful couple. They know how to truly live without things they don't really need. I am impressed with how they set this tiny home up to allow them to actually retire someday. They took the reigns and took control of their lives. I wish I was that creative. Very inspiring!
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the compliments 🙏💞 it’s been so peaceful living with less and we are so thankful we made the choice to do this 💞 have a wonderful thanksgiving 🍁
Great job 👏 Melanie! I’ve followed you on FB for a few years now and have seen all that you’ve done on your property. It’s nice to see everything presented in this video. I love ❤️ your place. ❤❤❤
Wow! This couple is amazing at what they have done. I think that this one I have enjoyed watching more that any❤! Can’t wait to follow you and see what you do!
I like your chicken coop where the eggs roll to the front. I love your gardens and tiny home .Good job. I agree a big loft with high ceiling is fabulous. The bed/ chair in loft is great. 👍👍Oh the bathroom is wonderful.
Wow Mel and Jon y’all have a beautiful homestead! I’ve seen pictures of most of it, it was fun to see how to see is on video. Thanks for all the hard work you in the tiny universe.
Lovely video. You were clever enough to see the potential of the land. Well, septic, hydro but a lot of junk. Good for you to see all that and just went to work. A little paradise.
Thanks 😊 it definitely takes time! We just do one thing at a time and finish and then the next but it has taken years. You got this! 🙌💞 thanks for watching ❤
Thank you. Yes for sure, it takes a lot of time and work to bring a property back and we have had a lot to do. ❤ it’s pretty now … but lol it was such a mess 😂
I'm happy for you and your husband. Time is precious, so you made a wise decision. Love your little house. It's nice and cozy. Wish I had one myself. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing. 🤩
This makes my heart happy ♥My adventure is similar in ways. We became debt free during covid with all those checks they sent out. We lived in Washington state and buying a house there was ridiculous! We started looking elsewhere for a livable fixer upper. We moved in 2023 to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and we love it. We bought a house on almost 1/2 an acre for $23,000 and paid cash. We have lots of plans to become more self-reliant. We also have chickens, 5 hens and 1 rooster which is almost too much eggs for just the two of us but it allows us to sell a couple dozen to earn back the cost of feed for them. Essentially they have paid for themselves. I now work very part-time as a substitute teacher which I love and my husband has retired. However he has tons of things to keep him busy! Stay blessed Copeland Family!
Oh my goodness I love this for you so much! It’s an amazing feeling to be debt free! And a huge congratulations 🎉 for that! I’m very happy for you guys too! ❤
This is amazing! So glad you got out of a life that wasn't working for you, Melanie. I love to see people doing tiny home living a bit differently. Lots os ideas in this one! Thanks. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, that's so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story. If we don’t take the time to be with our loved ones now, when will we? I love your decision! You might not have all the fancy appliances at home, but you’re definitely choosing happiness and lasting contentment! Wishing you all the best!
Thank you 🙏 we have a lot of fun stuff in our tiny I’m sure they are limited on time to film but I share them on our social media if you want to see more ❤
Fantastic way to live! Very flexible, useful, and cozy! That hobbit house root cellar is amazing! I, too, have been through a series of layoffs every couple of years (companies have NO loyalty to their employees any more), and I know the frustration of having to start over again. I live in the upper midwest, so first and foremost, I'd need to make sure the home would be both massively insulated, as well as being extremely sturdy (we still get BIG snows, frigid below zero temps, wind, and even tornadoes). Also, one floor would be the only way to go, I don't want to be crawling up narrow stairs or ladders to go to bed (or nighttime bathroom breaks!). Ah someday!
Thank you so much- I am so sorry to hear that about the layoffs. It’s really awful how companies treat employees these days! 😢 I wish you all the best in designing and creating a space that is perfect for you! ❤
Now this is the life!!!! This is a REAL tiny house!!!!! and the homestead is just so functional and amazing!!!!!!
Thank you so much ❤ 🎉 we love our tiny home ❤😊
I love every inch of this place! So many people would be so much happier if they would simply go back to doing things the way we used to. I admire everything you and your husband are doing, God bless you!
Thank you so very much ❤
I came here to say this !
"Small electric appliances are a huge trick and blessing-few people realize that!"
This is what the average person should be able to do. What a great story!!!
Thank you 🙏 i absolutely agree! 👍
She and her husband are so industrious--they're so blessed and fortunate to have so many skills which they have been able to use to build up their homestead--and they enjoy their hard work too.

Thank you ! It has been life changing for sure 💞
Our puppy is such a ham / he just tuned 6 months old ❤🐶🐾
I love you, sis. You have a beautiful heart. I don't know you, but I feel that good people with beautiful hearts are rare. So, I wish you all the best with your life and husband. Thank you for the tour.
You are so very kind 🙏💞 thank you ❤
I feel the same. We would be great friends.
This space is evolving into a very unique space, and I like it a lot!
Thank you 😊 it’s been a lot of work but we love how it is coming together ❤
I love your content. I am African, i always tell my friends that one has to rescue him/herself.
You cant complain without taking action to rescue yourself.
I love the way you found ways to live a better life.
Good thinking skills.
Blessings to you.
I have a friends from the Ivory Coast that says the same thing. Such a great motto! Greetings from Virginia- thanks for watching our tour ❤
For sure. The victim card is for losers.
I love how they built it for their own life and there is nothing pretentious about it. Comfortable and practical.
Thank you 😊

Thanks 😊 it definitely takes time! We just do one thing at a time and finish and then the next but it has taken years. You got this! 🙌💞 thanks for watching ❤
Amazing! Thank you for sharing that what we are seeing right now is process of growth over a few years.
Thank you. Yes for sure, it takes a lot of time and work to bring a property back and we have had a lot to do. ❤ it’s pretty now … but lol it was such a mess 😂

Thank you! I couldn’t agree more! Time is sooo precious ❤ thanks for watching 💞
A great story sounds like your shining and much less stress in your life good for you love all the little storage areas you have😊
Thank you 🙏 we definitely have less stress 💞💞
This makes my heart happy ♥My adventure is similar in ways. We became debt free during covid with all those checks they sent out. We lived in Washington state and buying a house there was ridiculous! We started looking elsewhere for a livable fixer upper. We moved in 2023 to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and we love it.
We bought a house on almost 1/2 an acre for $23,000 and paid cash. We have lots of plans to become more self-reliant. We also have chickens, 5 hens and 1 rooster which is almost too much eggs for just the two of us but it allows us to sell a couple dozen to earn back the cost of feed for them. Essentially they have paid for themselves.
I now work very part-time as a substitute teacher which I love and my husband has retired. However he has tons of things to keep him busy! Stay blessed Copeland Family!
Oh my goodness I love this for you so much! It’s an amazing feeling to be debt free! And a huge congratulations 🎉 for that! I’m very happy for you guys too! ❤
Your home is amazing I love the storage solutions you and hubby have built ❤

Love some of the little details seen but not discussed: the egg shelf, wringer washer, hammock chairs etc. Inspiring build!!
Thank you 🙏 we have a lot of fun stuff in our tiny I’m sure they are limited on time to film but I share them on our social media if you want to see more ❤
Fantastic way to live! Very flexible, useful, and cozy! That hobbit house root cellar is amazing! I, too, have been through a series of layoffs every couple of years (companies have NO loyalty to their employees any more), and I know the frustration of having to start over again. I live in the upper midwest, so first and foremost, I'd need to make sure the home would be both massively insulated, as well as being extremely sturdy (we still get BIG snows, frigid below zero temps, wind, and even tornadoes). Also, one floor would be the only way to go, I don't want to be crawling up narrow stairs or ladders to go to bed (or nighttime bathroom breaks!). Ah someday!
Thank you so much- I am so sorry to hear that about the layoffs. It’s really awful how companies treat employees these days! 😢 I wish you all the best in designing and creating a space that is perfect for you! ❤
I so enjoyed watching your video ! Hopefully it will inspire others to down size their lives and live a more simple life and truly be HAPPY !
Thank you we enjoyed sharing our tiny 💞
I never heard of cats and chickens together. I like the Hobbit storage. You came up with a lot of good design ideas.
