This Family Downsized Their Home To Upsize Their Life

- In this weeks episode we meet a beautiful young family who chose to sell their conventional home in the city, move to the country and build a tiny house, downsizing their home, but upsizing their quality of life!
Selling a conventional home and going tiny has allowed this couple to become debt and mortgage free, which has had some dramatic effects on their lifestyle. For Deb and Peter this decision was all about being able to be there for their family and focus on the things in life which are truly important.
We hope you enjoy meeting this wonderful family and visiting their beautiful tiny house.

It's so exciting for us to be back with our very first tiny house tour of 2021! We absolutely loved meeting Deb and Pete and visiting their beautiful tiny home. This is a family who really understands what's important in life and whose tiny house has helped them to be there for their family when needed, and also helped them to weather some storms of their own! We hope you enjoy the tour! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
And it's a great house too.
Glad to have you guys back. Thanks for bringing this tiny to us. It’s truly a beautiful family tiny house.
After watching this I decided to move next to their house.
Great house, lovely kitchen. I wonder if they will sell the tiny house in the future when they need more space and want to expand their family. Perhaps they could rent it out and use the funds towards paying for a mortgage on a bigger place (should they need to)?
Happy New Year Bryce and Rasa. Thank you for yet another great video. I smiled all the way through this one - what a wonderful family with beautiful souls.
[I see Shay has struck again :) her designs are so well thought out]
I just love seeing the comments like "this one is their fav house" in every video. It just shows there are tiny house design for everyone!!
That's a nice way to look at it
Lol it is prob me commenting lol they are all my favorites!!
It sure does!
Lots of nice people!

Bryce put video on Brand new tube too.
Thank you
Why does everyones parents have the most epic properties 😂💗
That's really the secret to "affordable" tiny house living: inherit land. 🤣🤣🤣
@@marim0y yeah, this was gorgeous and all, but I'd love to see some examples of people living in cities on a budget instead of huge inherited properties!
Seriously. Like here in Europe, if your parents don't own land, you have to take a mortgage just to afford a piece of earth ...
@@erichachenberger7914 so true :D
@@erichachenberger7914 You have to find an affordable property first... Challenging...
This channel was an accident, but now I spend all my days watching these beautiful and charming tiny homes videos. Bryce is such a considerate and kind host, as well. This show should be a feature on a main tv channel. I enjoy it quite a lot. 😊
im obsessed
Well Jenn...if you want to get married....I can build us one...in AZ, FL or NC
It is addictive, isn't it? 😂
The parents are so cool..I love how the father was talking about his father at the beginning of the video.
Downsize Your Home and Upsize Your Life sounds like a good title for your next book. 😎 I'll take a small % of the book sales for that title. LOL!
It sure does!
Such a sensible family! They know what their priorities are and have made a plan and have begun acting on it. The tiny home is lovely and the property is just stunning. Add to that the fact that they are there for his parents and it’s just a perfect situation. It’s also a good reminder that tiny homes can be stepping stones for some people and can generate rental income at the next stage of their life!
Very well said Dawn! :)
@@livingbig Thank you! I ❤️ your channel SO much! Tiny homes are a bit of a hobby for me- watching them and making files of different ones I like for different reasons. If the time in my life ever comes where a tiny home is the best answer, I’ll be ready!
@@livingbig were not getting notifications when you upload new videos?
That man loves his wife! ... it's the way he looks at her for me!
Besides this being a great tiny, I really enjoyed watching this couple interact with each other. You can tell by the way they listen to each other and the way they take turns talking that they really love and respect each other. Great first video for the new year!
I really felt that while watching them, too. They seem to have a beautiful relationship built on mutual love and respect.
I was also observing that. How the husband touches his wife. He appreciate her
With 116 likes just after this video was uploaded 3 minutes ago shows how much people love this channel. I always press the like button before watching the video, because I am sure I will love the video.
Thanks Esther!!!
So am I
I do the same. I love this channel. It’s one of my very favorites! ❤️
Me too. I don't think I've ever hated any videos on this channel. In fact am sure I've liked them all even after a few rewatches.
Me too
This channel has put an urge in me to leave everything behind and move to New Zealand and start a new life in a tiny little home. Thank you, Bryce. Loving your videos so much :)
If only it were that easy!
Join the club! It must be amazing to live in NZ. Especially is a Tiny House.
@Heartsongsutube I know NZ has closed their borders due to the pandemic, but it I don’t think it will change their immigration policies in the future...
Hold up, I'm coming...lol
A couple of years ago (pre COVID) we were lucky enough to visit the South Island which is incredibly beautiful. Then in Easter 2020 we were booked to go to the North Island but thanks to COVID the trip was cancelled - we live in hope of eventually getting over to NZ again - apart from NZ having so many beautiful places to visit the people are friendly and easy going.
They don't want to raise their daughter on a device and get her outdoors and I'm stuck inside watching this on a device! Is it wrong for a 47 year old man to be jealous of a 4 year old?
Not at all 🥰
I was thinking smt like, am I too old to want to join the little one on the trampoline... 🤔 I am 44 🙈
Surely not. As long as there are ppl more lucky than us, we shall be jellous, envious,
No. Kids are built for the easy life. It's healthier for their growth.
The power is you!
What a special family. I love how they came to help out their folks and stayed close to be supportive. They found a beautiful lifestyle.
I see love in their eyes! Oh, what a cute family! And the tiny house, too!
Hello Laura how are you doing!!
TH-cam: How many black t-shirts you own
Bryce:YES
Well he's an architect
He has given a tour of his house and mentioned he is a minimalist so he only has a few pieces of clothes. Its most likely the same shirt
NZ's national colour :P
😂😂
it's his color uniform
I never noticed that!😂.
What all I see is his presentation. The way he approach is so humble and overwhelming, who won't welcome him! "After you..."☺️
I love it when they say that having a tiny home makes you go outside a lot more :) I think it's such an important 'trick' to create an environment for yourself that forces you to do the things, live your life the way it is actually good for you.
Glad to see you back. My goodness, New Zealand is beautiful. I want to move there to live that Hobbit life.
I was telling my kids the other day love to visit NEW Zealand!
Nice people,but it's too far!
new zealand is still closed unfortunately
Me too 😊
Nothing down south guys NZ doesn't exist, lol
This is a lovely, well designed tiny home and a delightful couple. I always especially like the situations when these homes are parked at the home of older parents - it's such a great way for families to be close and to help each other.
Hello Janet how are you doing!!
One of the best tiny homes I’ve seen, one that allows for family space, family values, and tips that are useful even for someone with a larger home - how to utilize a space well, to its fullest, and with practicality. (Drawers instead of a huge pantry cupboard - what a light bulb moment!) This home shows how living with kids is practical and possible in a tiny home, and feels roomy too. Love the home, and enamored by the family.
What really caught my attention in the bathroom is the poster 🤣.
Toothbrush: I hate my job.
Tissue: Oh, please!
Edited: Seriously?! 😆 3 likes?
This is such a stunning home! For me, it's the perfect balance aesthetically, with the white walls, the beautiful timber throughout the home (especially in the floor!) and the beautiful accents like the kitchen backsplash and bathroom wall. It definitely feels really welcoming, and that couch fits the space so well, it's crazy! The extra width I think is one of the biggest reasons this house feels so big, it avoids feeling like just a long corridor and seems like a great choice if you're not planning on moving your tiny home very frequently. A wonderful tour as always, you make a great host Bryce, and your camera work is just amazing, Rasa. Thank you for all the time and love you put in to make such incredible content, wishing you all the best for 2021!
Thanks so much Autumn! :) Wishing you all the best for the new year too!
I think all the large windows is what makes it feel so big!👌🏻
Has anyone made a compilation of every time bryce says "Oh, this is lovely, nice, etc" ? It would honestly make my day.
"ohhh this is LOVELY! I LOVE what you've done with this space!" 🤣 I love it
Not only that, but I notice that Bryce seems to sound even more Kiwi when he's with other New Zealanders! ;-) Love it.
“Isn’t it??”
so cozy!!
Drinking game :P
I think this is one of my favourite tiny houses from the hundreds of tiny house videos I have seen. Congratulations guys!
Omg the way they look at each other is soooo 🤍
I love seeing this side of the world. You can tell the different accents depending on where people are from. Before I would just group everyone in one pot...New Zealanders or Australians. I feel like I'm learning more than just the tiny living...I'm learning about the culture. Thank you!
Thanks Desea! I'm so glad you're enjoying our videos and that we can also share some of our country with you!
Me too! English is not my first language, but I really like to feel the different accents and the word selection, just fav!
Live this home. One problem with all tiny homes us tat the bathroom always right next to the kitchen
I LOVE dialects and try to place them whenever I get a chance. I am wondering how many different dialects do you have in New Zealand? I am from Germany and we have an abundance of dialects...
@@MsSneaky0815 3 dialects
Kiwi English
Bro/Mate and
Cuzy Bro 😂🤣 churr
Introduced this channel to a friend of mine, and she jokingly said, "Wow, he must be a vampire, he's constantly asking for permission to enter!" and I said "1. He's CONSTANTLY in SUNLIGHT, and 2. He's just properly raised to be polite." She snapped back, "Oh, you just take all the fun out of it!" ...but she still mutters an occasional "such a cute polite daywalker" from time to time! XD
He can walk in daylight because he is one half vampire. He said it in one episode.
ladyofthemasque there are day walkers
😂😂 OMG That's funny
For those who don’t know vampires can’t enter places without permission. Lots of story’s don’t like that rule though
"Sound proof as well so minimal distraction for her" ;)
I was totally looking for the comments on that! Heavy duty love making!
As they said, they are trying to grow their family
🤣😂
Here it is.. the comment i've been looking for 😂
scrolled the entire comments looking for this one. i couldnt have been the only one thinking naughty lol
One of the most beautiful spacious "Tiny Homes," I've ever seen. The open air porch that opens the home up is wonderful! I love the family, the home, and their daughter is so cute! I'm sorry about his Mom. Great job! 🙏💗😁🌲🌳
Hello Ann how are you doing!!
Watching this channel I have come to realize that people from New Zealand are really blessed.
We are!!!!
Yes I was thinking the same thing from watching all the videos
I love the wallpaper in the daughter’s loft and have not seen anything like it.
I always thought I hated wallpaper and then I saw this and wanted that Wallpaper !!! It is so magical and beautiful !
@@cassiekay8633 I love it too! If the homeowners are reading this - is there any chance of telling us the pattern name?
@@Susan-qg9tm I hope so ! I really believe that that the visual elements of your home can create and change mood and this wallpaper would be so creatively inspiring ,but also relaxing and it is so beautiful ! (and how could anyone feel negative in a room with that wallpaper ? )
@@Susan-qg9tm loomwell is the brand and name of print is Mila wallpaper! 😊
@@smithwhanau1 Thank you so much! I love your home and think that you guys did a fabulous job. I could live there in a heartbeat, LOL. Love and best wishes from Australia.
God bless this family. They really understand what's important in life. x
I love their deck. Really brings out the size of their home. I also appreciate the fact that you are so nice to everyone you meet and there is such excitement in your voice when interviewing people. Very inspiring!
this channel has inspired me to actually start making steps toward living tiny. thank you bryce
You're very welcome Cayden! All the best for your tiny journey and we will look forward to filming your tour some day. :)
Same.
I think this family is my favorite so far!
Hello Mother, how are you doing today
What a beautiful couple, they are so relaxed and loving and are obviously very in-tune with each other and their daughter.
Hello Sharon how are you doing!!
Bryce's videos give me so much peace. And I love watching them so much!
Yeah. Mee too.
Lovely house! I normally don't like black and white decor, but it was balanced really well with the wood floors and worktops, and the huge windows with the garden outside! Especially loved the bathroom with the mirror door, and the loft was really spacious and roomy in contrast to many other lofts. My only pet peeve is the stairs, for some reason tiny houses often seem to miss banisters. I'm definitely too clumsy to live without one! 😅
Love the design and spacious..nice for sharing their home Bryce & Rasa...God Bless
10:39 ok if you look when she opens the drawer, it has a notch cut out for the sink's drainage. Genius way to use space more efficiently!
I too noticed that
What a beautiful family and home! I love the fact that tiny house living has enabled them to have their “loves” in order!🥰
This is my favorite tiny home yet! And you guys are adorable. Love the Bible Stories Book! Praying for AU and NZ in California.
I absolutely agree, we accumulate so much stuff we don’t need! I envy everyone already living in a tiny home, planning on ours right now!
This is just gorgeous. It doesn't even seem tiny. Love the kitchen seriously. It is a beautiful area.
Man I just love seeing this couple. The way they look when one of them talking. What a great house and parking space too! I’m super jealous!
I love the look of the interior, and it's always nice to see a couch that actually looks comfortable!
Hello Patrais, how are you doing today
"In this week's episode of living big in a tiny house. We make our oversized presenter crawl on his hands and knees into a room built for a 3ft child."
Bryce well appreciates the necessity of having padded carpeting in loft areas.
Claustrophobia really kicked into high gear on that one for me,
Beautiful tiny home and what a great family! And as always Bryce, great job, if you are as nice in real life as you are on the series, it is a joy for the families to show you around their tiny homes. You make everyone feel comfortable.
The surrounding is great, a lovely family (Deb, Peter & little girl) and of course beautiful spacious tiny house, god bless you! Thanks to you Bryce.
So good to 'come home' today after the past few crazy weeks. Sitting and watching folks living a dream in a comfy home... and as someone living in cold gray dreary NYS can I just say - All. That. Green. Outside!!! haha. I'm all dreamy over the house, then a peek sneaks in of the green trees and grass outside!
I'm going to re-binge watch the shows today. Nothing to see outside, and I love seeing all the cheery folks on your show.
How miserable the lives of these people disliking this wonderful video
@thenewmiLONNIEum But then slightly less great when he charges you rent:)
@@stanleykroft I do not know the tax situation down there but it might be a way to deal with taxes.
@@WyrdHag No, from people who got tired hearing "yeah deeeefanatly" from her after the third time.
The house is awesome
I thought that, they must be having a really bad day! I have never used the dislike button ever! Glad they don't comment as well, i only see lovely positive comments on this channel.
JEALOUSY WORKS IN MANY WAYS!!
Without a doubt my favorite tiny house! If I didn’t live two continents away I would put in an offer.
What a lovely couple. Totally inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
I love tiny house.
So glad your back featuring another awesome tiny house sir. Love your channel.
Thanks so much!
@@livingbig your welcome sir. Your channel inspires me to dream a simple tiny house. Tiny but clean and organize home.
I've been waiting for new uploads.. Great to see 2021 has started for real!!
Oh I just love this entire story! What a great story. Bless their family.
What a lovely couple. God bless them...and their tiny home.
Hello Debra how are you doing!!
Very brave of both of you to say 'deck' so many times as Kiwis on a family channel. Bravo.
😂
😂😂😂
Be still and know that I am God wow I love that bible verse plaque in their beautiful home everlasting love and endless blessings
Psalms 46:10
I guess if you feel the need to bow your head to a sky fairy sure. Too bad he can stand free.
Such a stunning home and the couple have such a loving bond
This story touches my heart. It's amazing.
What a beautiful and peaceful vibe this home provides! It must be so wonderful to be able to build a house that exactly fits all your needs and likes! The design is fresh and modern but still homely. I loved the deep blue in the bathroom and the huge deck! Wow!
The extra 2' in width really makes an enormous difference. I like everything about this home except for the height of the bedrooms. The spaces are all so very functional and just beautiful. The decking and windows really make a difference. Love all the black and white.
Incredibly gorgeous home. 😍 Awesome layout. The pantry is a winner all day. I love ❤️ the happiness and caring spirit of this family, and their wee one is pure joy. It must be such a comfort and joy for his father to have them near. What blessings. Thank you for sharing this wonderful home that has everything meaningful woven into it. Thrilling episode.
Loved this episode! Lovely family, and I absolutely love the design. It's my favorite design so far.
Less is more just says it all. Lovely home, people and land!
THANK YOU Bryce & Rasa, you're a fab team who always present the best stories. Hope you guys rested up over the break. Its WONDERFUL to have you back! With love from Hawkes Bay xx
Hello Cynthia how are you doing!!
This is just awesome! Enjoy your home and your family!
What a lovely family! Beautiful home, deck, and oh my the view is wonderful! Especially like the kitchen with all the counter space.
Hello Nancy how are you doing!!
Love it.
God is good.
Beautiful home. Beautiful family too.
What a lovely home for a beautiful family. Wishing you blessings upon blessings. 💜
Thank you, Bryce and Rasa, for directly contributing to the global tiny home movement!
Love the vibes in this build, the spacious kitchen is key for cookouts when the whanau come around and the big bathroom is perfect for us big-boned people 😁
"Set your mind on things above and not on earth." (Colossians 3:2)
Amazing!
17:16
Amen
This couple is so cozy & charming! The tiny house is Awesome! God Bless... Namaste 🙏
Another beauty. Love how you are protecting your daughter.
Congrats Deb and Peter. This is such a beautiful home that you guys have created. well Done Guys and God's Abundant favour and blessings on your guys ALWAYS
At this point, I'm mostly here to see Bryce wedging himself into tiny books designed for children 🤣
Absolutely love the design of this house. Such a lovely family. Living the dream!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful home and a very lovely family. 🥰
Such a beautiful home!! Super smart loft area!! LOVE that! A gorgeous kitchen . . . can I say it . . . this is my favorite tiny house!
So very sorry for their loss.
Thank you Bryce and Rasa!! XOXO
I sometimes forget bryce is like 6' 3" 😂. It always makes it funny when he has to crouch to fit in some rooms
Stunning, there's enough space for everything. It never looks like a tiny house. Inside & outside is just beautiful! ...such a happy place!
What a lovely family and a great wee house. It's cool to hear of their future plans for growing their family and building a slightly bigger home to suit. I haven't seen many tiny house families talking of plans for expansion, so go them!
the way he looks at her ❤️❤️❤️
Tiny (family) homes really embody the human spirit - being there for each other and living mindfully to maximise time together. Awesome they can be there for extended family too!
What a lovely family and home.... Cheers for sharing your paradise 😀
BEST one I’ve seen yet!!! Love their heart and love that family!! God Bless them and their family in all they do 🙏🏽💜🏡
A Brazilian guy that love this channel 🇧🇷
Thanks Bruno!
I love love the layout of this home and the deck and the yard is pristine. The only draw back for me as with most tiny homes if the no head room in the lofts. I really love the ones that had standing room in the loft that's a must have for me.
Such a beautiful couple! It's so lovely to watch their interaction with each other and their daughter. Their tiny is gorgeous; a real inspiration.
This is so darling love how you and your daughters together and still have your privacy. So cozy for all of you and nice large kitchen and the deck is awesome too love it all .bless your family . Enjoy your time home . THANK YOU FOR SHARING ......❤️❤️❤️
Be Still and Know! Psalm 46:10. What a lovely reminder to have in your home. This tiny home is awesome, great layout and spacious. I don't think I've seen a bedroom set up like this before! I like the financial security that living tiny gives to many people. Wish you all all the best in your endeavors re: land and another home.
As a Kiwi living abroad for 38 years now I’ve been enjoying your series and is great to hear the old kiwi accent and what a great tiny home on a great location . Excellent
Kiwi?
What a nice tiny home and such a beautiful family that looks after each other. That's the way to be for sure. May God bless this family and their home. Thanks, @Living Big In A Tiny Home for sharing!
I hope you read this mate but the way your wife looks at you and supports your words is amazing she is a keeper bro
This is such a lovely family and the home is beautiful.
Thanks for continuing to bring us great content during the pandemic! Cant wait for the day I can take the ideas ive liked from this series and make my own tiny home. Bryce will be getting the first invite! 😁
Fortunately here in New Zealand we are free of community transmission, so no danger in producing content. We would never put ourselves or others at risk. :)
@@livingbig i edited my original comment, didn’t mean it that way. Just got another reason to move to New Zealand ✌️
Such a beautiful couple and beautiful home. God bless them!
Nagyon tetszik, elegáns, praktikus, mindennel felszerelt, ház, boldog Család... még ebben az évben építek, ötleteket keresgélek. Köszönjük, hogy megnézhettük, üdv Éva, Magyarország-ról
Love your life values, Deb and Peter and that your lovely daughter has the benefit of outdoor fun, instead of being glued to a screen. Family time is key... So much time is spent cleaning a large property - In that respect, I'm grateful for my tiny flat! Oh, your home is absolutely gorgeous btw...
Hello Cassandra how are you doing!!
