"So I sleep in my piano and I watch my painting!"
I never thought I would hear a sentence like that.
Fari Wu me either
She's such a sweet lady!😍✨😍
so wholesome and sweet xD
Fari Wu--About 30 or so years ago, there was an interview with Lucille Ball. She liked to recline on an antique sofa (she had REAL antiques) in her home. She hung a painting sideways so that she could enjoy looking at it when she reclined on the sofa.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pianobed. That's exactly why the internet was invented - to bring us all this kind of information. Absolutely brilliant!
I love how she used her grandparents furniture. That was really neat!
I thought it was a beautiful touch, very clever! She's an awesome lady, it makes my soul happy to see people living the life they want and being totally at peace, I can almost feel her happiness while watching this! ❤
The dresser made into a closet is very impressive.
I did not know pianos turned into beds back in the day.
Shorty is a charming lady.
There's something about this tiny house that makes it the best I've seen online. It might be the owner too. You can tell that her spirit is part of her home too. Beautiful!
it warm and cozy. it’s homey. I love old wold style.
@Bob, I agree she is so cute! I want her for my neighbor! She didn't say where the a/c was though, lol!
I think it's because it's a museum that's entirely livable. It's totally unique!
Yes!!! The house is awesome and so is she.
I couldn't have said it any better.
Of literally thousands of tiny houses I've seen this is my favorite.
Kevin Wilcox - I totally agree Kevin. I have seen 1000's of tiny houses and I always say oh that was my all time fav. But when I saw this one. . . .I fell in love!!! It is THE MOST amazing tiny house I have ever seen and the lady has infused her love throughout the whole place and it shows. Beautiful indeed. Michelle
Kevin Wilcox DITTO!!
Same
Same. The best . It's actually very functional too .but I wish it had a little bigger bath . But it's fine.
Sameeeee! Omg it's sooooo livable but homely and lovely! She hides everything so well and storage is absolutely adorable!
Im 36 but can this woman adopt me and teach me all of her ways????????!!!! Wow! Just intelligent, brilliant and so loving. She is priceless
Shorty took it to a whole other level! Almost anyone can build a TH but to have a fully functional 21st Century house that looks entirely authentic to the Civil War Period blew me away! Awesome attention to detail! Love watching Jenna's video's!
I have done C.W.Renactment. Her closet is too small for any garb!
@@healinggrounds19 I work for NOAH, the original Tiny Home Inspection & Certification Company, and have so since 2015. I can tell you that in my experience, Tiny Homes have hidden storage just about everywhere. Just because you don't see an abundance of it hilighted during the video tour, that does not mean it doesn't exist. Some of the unconventional storage methods employed in (let's say Tiny Houses, for this example) that I have seen include but are not limited tp the following; Under-floor Storage (main floor & loft both), Some ppl build a cabinet around their 3/4 sized fridge and raise it for convenience, by putting a drawer underneath that matches the optional encapsulating cabinet. Same premise with regards to under-cabinet drawers. Also, there is undermounted Storage (primarily welded to trailer undercarriage) and Storage can also be incorporated into a 'hitch shed' or cantilevered structure added to the home,. You can also find additional storage inside of the furniture! I have even seen storage pop down from the kitchen ceiling, in-between the loft floor joists. I appreciate your expertise in total garb rate times available storage volume mass, I just wanted ppl to know that there are an infinite number of ways to incorporate additional storage into your future Tiny Home, in case you also happen to be a fan of both Tiny's and Civil War Reenactments. :)
This is the most creative bed solutions I've ever seen in a Tiny House! Who knew about piano beds before this video?
I want a Piano bed
It was incredible!
Tiny House Giant Journey not me! 😂
Never heard of a piano bed. This house is awesome. She is very creative!
I didn't. This is in fact a totally awesome way to incorporate a piano in your tiny house.
The way she used her grandparents dresser as stairs is brilliant! I couldn't of think of a better way to incorporate it in to the building. So much love in that little house.
I saw this house in person at the St. Augustine Amphitheater farmer's market, and it's STUNNING. So creative and beautiful in every detail.
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_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!
THIS might very well be the BEST tiny house I have ever seen! The way she incorporated her ancestors’ possessions in this house is a beautiful testament to them, and it gives us a sense of them and their lives. Sooo wonderful!
LOVE IT! Absolutely beautiful. When I was 12 we moved into a Historic Victorian House. My mother completely designed the house using everything real from that time period. She even cooked a lot of things from the time period. She entertained in the parlor otherwise we weren't really allowed in there. It had Gourgous solid oak pocket doors with wonderful intricate designs. The parlor and master bedroom had a stained glass panel on top of a window. Everything was original. The parlor had a beautiful cherry wood fireplace with the same designs as the doors. When I was 17 we had to move for my step dad's job and the young couple that bought it, completely gutted it and made the whole inside modern. They also painted the outside to look more modern. It was extremely Sad.
As someone who’s an old soul and collected antiques since I was 14, that makes me physically ill
Suzette Sanborn how dare they ruin the charm or an old house! When I can afford a house, and legally buy one! I want it to be historical, and when I have enough money a french chateau!
It may seem strange, but, I don't like the huge open space of the modern design. I want it to feel spacious, but, I like my kitchen large but separate with a pantry. I love the Parlor and a dining room with a swinging door. Yeah, I like the separate cozy places.
It IS really sad to see larger, older homes cut up to be apartments, or otherwise changed. I'd love to have a Victorian home with big rooms and large windows.
So wonderful how she built a museum she lives in. It's a modern spin on an antique home.
My parents have always been history buffs, so I grew up appreciating antiques. I have never seen or heard of a piano bed... it is BRILLIANT! I can’t wait to look up and learn more about them. Thanks! (BTW... I saw that Gator sticker on your bumper.... this Seminole forgives you!)
This UGA Dawg forgives her, too(lol!) She seems like SUCH an interesting person. I'd love to meet her.
I love the ways Shorty has hidden the modern stuff, brilliant and full of love!
This is so amazing. I love the unusual use of objects and the way she hides the modern amenities. I also love the feeling of being surrounded by antique objects.
The piano was such an important part of family gatherings, that just about most homes had one...but to think of the space they took up in the small houses of the past! This surely indicates just how highly valued they were! I LOVE THIS HOME and I am so very glad Shorty ended up living there permanently. Such a waste otherwise! This home is loved; a reflection of its owners passion and spirit. Thank you!
That stove and ice chest/refrigerator are absolutely incredible. I love how she has the stairs to the loft hidden instead of right in the middle of of the home like every other tiny house I've seen. This might be the most creative tiny house I've ever seen. This is really incredible and I actually watched it a twice just to take everything in.
This has been my favorite tiny home yet!! I love how she incorporated all the repurposed items into the home, especially her grandparents dressers!
This the best tiny house I have ever seen. I think it's because I grew up in a home with much of the same type furniture and decorations. I have bureaus just like hers as well as an ice box and pictures of my great grandparents. Thank you for showing us a new and different tiny home!
*Wow...*
I've been following the tiny house movement for several years now, and this is got to be the most interesting one I've ever seen! And the owners attitude and personality is so real and so authentic. This is definitely going on my favorites list! LOL. ♥️
The piano bed is lovely. Also great to see a real separation between the kitchen and living space.
The bed is so cool, I would be too lazy to use it
Wimsem - Tekenen & Knutselen id literally just keep it open and watch tv LOL
The simplicity and antique vibe is amazing 👌 🌟
This is my favorite tiny house tour of all time! The complete absence of hipper-than-thou-itis is like a breath of fresh air... Shorty is a gem, and so is her home :)
The generator in the wood box was such a cute surprise! If this woman is reading these comments - I’m so inspired by what you do! You have a great personality and sense of humor and I hope you never stop following your passions! That’s a beautiful home ☺️
My husband and I love this channel! We dream of living this lifestyle and live vicariously through those who have made the dream into a reality. I especially loved this particular video. It’s so fascinating with the civil war reenactment and the antiques!! Can’t wait to see what’s next! 💛😊
I've done a walk thru of her tiny before, yet I've learned so much more from this video tour. She is a very interesting woman with her love of history. She actually lives it.
Wow. It always amazes me to see how people go all the way with what they love. Kudos to the lady!
She’s very creative and it shows in the way she decorated her tiny house. I absolutely love it. The loft upstairs looks so cozy.
She was really happy. So nice to see someone so happy with her life and home. A real joy to watch.
Oh my goodness! Iso exciting to realize I saw her house in Tampa at the HCC event about a year ago. It was mine and my daughter's favorite house of the entire show! We did not get to meet the owner as she was at a festival. It is nice to see her here. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Sherri Robinson I also remember this house from show! I was looking in the comments hoping to see someone else from the show haha
It's so exciting when that happens isn't it? I was beyond myself with excitement that day. My daughter was so sweet to surprise me by taking me to the show.
I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you! Yes, I was at a reenactment that weekend and loaned my house to HCC for their event. Thanks for visiting!
As a re-an actor, I can totally relate to her. Wet camp tear downs are the worst. Not only do you have the sopping wet, heavy canvas lodge & awning to deal with, but all the equipment as well. Then, when you get home, you have to lay it all out & set up or spread the lodge to dry. If you don't mold sets in. I remember a set - up at one rendezvous where the participants had built a little log cabin on a trailer. They hid the wheels with hay bales or something. I'm still trying to talk my husband into doing that!
Anne Mumford I’ve never been able to join a re-enactment (nobody really does it in my county aside from the SCA), but that does sound like a hassle, thanks for the warning! I guess I’ll have to get my tiny house built first...
Venus Gillespie. It's more of a hassle if you're a vendor because you have all your gear plus merchandise to sell. If you're not a vendor, try to keep your things pared down. Some camps are pretty elaborate. We do 1840's time period. No hoop skirts for me! Our motto is if it doesn't fit in an expanded cab pickup truck with an 8 foot bed, it doesn't make it on the gear list. An enclosed trailer with a drop down ramp is the best. That way you can build shelves in it and you can use a hand cart to unload the big stuff like the wood stove we use in cooler months. When you start getting up in middle age climbing in and out of a truck bed is no fun, so we'll be looking at a trailer in the next couple years. Just don't bring enough gear to outfit three camps just to look cool. Pare down to essentials. Pioneers fit everything in a covered wagon, and they weren't as big as prove think.
I meant on the last sentence they the wagons weren't as big as people think. I'm not the best at typing some days.
Anne Mumford re-an actor. I'm high.
I have lattice that fits around the base of the house at reenactments, so unless you look close, you can't see it's on wheels. At least once at each event, someone says "this house wasn't here last week, you must have built it fast"..
This is one of the best tiny homes I’ve seen. It’s just the cutest tiny house inside and out. I love the way the stairs to the loft are hidden in the kitchen. Very well thought out and imaginative design, yet extremely cozy.
She’s so sweet
So glad she found her happy place ❣️
This is my favorite one so far!
The piano is a piece of art!
Beautiful. A lot of thought...and work went into this charming tiny house. Congratulations Shorty - thanks for the tour!!
I am always amazed by tiny houses. I think they are very creative. When I am older I want one.
I love this! Thank you for sharing. As a pianist who longs for a tiny home, I finally feel like there is hope for me to have both a piano and a smaller space. Now, if only I can find a way to do this with my smallish grand, I'm all set!
Heidi Lueck I hope you find a way!
Heidi Lueck , maybe make a bed that drops above the piano?
Sleep on top of the grand when it’s folded down, perhaps? I don’t know, you’d need a sturdy lid...my music teacher actually uses the top of his piano as a table, maybe you could do that?
This is my problem too! Could prolly only be able to afford a tiny home, but i want to have space for a baby grand too!
on the voice they do a tiny baby grand
Such a unique house... one of my faves so I painted it in watercolour :)
Lisa Adams, I cherish that painting! Thank you so much!
I was so moved by this video. Not just for the uniqueness and beauty, but the style, the grace and preservation this Lady brought to every inch of her tiny (HUGE) house! I say huge because she's managed to compact and utilize every inch of her antique style with authentic and breathtaking keepsakes! I literally had tears in my eyes when she talked about the steps and how they were once her grandparents dresser and she turned 2 drawer's sideways for her closet! Every thing about this home is incredible! From the spindle posts out front, to her authentic piano bed which I had never heard of nor did we ever read about in history book's, to her lacy curtains and comfy chair, and the church window that was given to her, to that amazing sewing machine and all her genuine photos! I especially loved the portrait of her and her granddaughter! Very beautiful! I loved her laugh, her laid back attitude, her love for preservation and history and her easy going style! I'd love to meet her one day! She moved me and inspired me! Thanks for sharing! This one's a gem!!
~ Sincerely, Suzi
This by far is the most fascinating Tiny home I’ve ever seen you cover ❤️
So much warmth and wholeheartedness in this video.
Such great use of every available space, but it didn’t seem crowded or claustrophobic (except for the bathroom, that was a wee bit tight!) I loved all of Shorty’s decorative touches, it made her home so cozy. I don’t know how she stays in Florida without AC, she’s a much tougher woman than I am!
WOW, I love that home.
I thought you might be interested in my tiny house. I got it almost free as a blessing from God. It is actually a 1952 Pontiac Chief trailer. It is actually built out of wood with wood siding, a house-type roof and a tiny attic. I call it a tiny house because it really is one, cause it’s made out of wood. I painted it pale peach with dark brown trim to look like a tiny Tudor. I painted the interior pink, blue and green pastels because I had to patch the walls. It is in a trailer park, where it has been for at least 50 years. I think my tiny house is important because it is proof that a tiny house will last long enough to pass down to great grandchildren
Coleen Hilton that sounds lovely
You should post a video to show it off!
I sure would love to see pictures of it!!!
Oh sounds gorgeous post a video we would all love it xx
Laura Erwin amazing house you are a very clever lady : cheers from Melbourne Australia
How she hides all her modern things is so clever!! I especially love the generator in the woodbox, lol
Your dining/sewing table...I've seen that in antique shops that call it a "bride's table" (folded down, two people could dine on it back in the day and, as the family grew, pulling out the side made the table large enough for a family). I've also seen it called a "gate-leg table" with a more complex support system of legs. You're lucky to have one!!
@Speaking Truth--I spotted one in an "antique" shop near my home, but at the time I didn't have enough money for it. When I went back for it, it was gone. I really shouldn't complain. I got some really nice pieces from that shop over the years. None of them are true antiques, but they are nicer than the flakeboard/particleboard pieces available in most stores today.
i love how uniquely her this home is; those are always my favorites.
So, so AWESOME! Love this time period house.
As a lifelong history buff and antique collector who has been thinking of going tiny for about 6yrs now, this is my absolute dream tiny home! 💕 Well done 🖒🖒
A home is where your heart is!! This truly is a wonderful example of this!!
"So I just lay in my piano and watch my painting!" 😂
That woman is just so fun, cheerful, passionate and lovely, she's just everything!
This is my all time favourite tiny house! I love the loft space and the repurposed dressers as stairs. Thanks for sharing
I've watched a lot of Tiny house Vids, But I will say this Tiny House is the best by far. The way the modern conveniences are hidden is amazing.
I admire your tenacity Shorty! That look likes a lot of work but you created an absolute masterpiece paying homage to an older time. Kudos Lady!
What a wonderful character she is and such a special tiny home. I love that her great grandma was Australian!
This is one of the best ones I’ve seen yet!! ❤️
This is my favorite tiny house! ......because it is WICKED AWESOME!
I don't even like old things/decor at all but this was just magical because of her connection to this house - Even the fact that the name she gave it connected to such a simple yet impactful part of her childhood. And the ending with her sitting in her happy place just made me feel so warm and genuinely happy for her. Success at it's finest
Two of my favorite things. Historical Costume and Tiny Houses. Absolutely lovely. Thank you for making this video. :)
Great video and beautiful shots. Had a big smile on my face the whole time watching this very special tiny house
For some reason this video made me think of my grandma, and I got teary-eyed...
This was absolutely beautiful. Not only is it such a creative home made with so much history in mind, but the owner also gets to truly live her passion in this house. I bet Shorty Robbins is wonderful company, to boot!
Never seen a tiny home that was such a perfect puzzle piece fit for its owner, but I hope to see more like it in the future.
Piano bed - genius!
'Wonder Woman' - you are amazing - loved your story - everything so beautiful - thx for sharing - cheers from Canada
Wonderful tiny home. As a reenactor/recreator I can appreciate not having to fold up wet rugs and canvas after an event. I'd live in this any day. Well done!
I like the piano bed but she also has a proper bedroom to use as well. It’s a very nice creative home!
So many creative ways to hide things. Lovely. 😄
That is so cool! The bed piano omg! I love this ❤️
Love this Victorian house. She really did a great job making it look authentic. I enjoyed looking at all the time period thing in the background. And the clever way she camouflaged modern items.
Awww, I think this is my favorite Tiny Home because she can live in the era she wants to.
Awesome house! Love it!
I think most homes were tiny in those days. I LOVE the dogs!
My husband bought me a shed shell with porch, lifts, and windows. He finished out the interior in cedar and other wood. Although it is just my happy place now I could easily live in it if I chose. 😁 Nicest act of love!
Wow! This is a real life of living in a tiny house from the past !! What a great job she did for creating this historical looking house, with many clever ideas to hide modern elements nowadays we can’t live without.
Very interesting and very clever ideas. Sweet gal. I really enjoyed the video.thank you!
That was great! What an interesting lady. Thank you!
I so love this vintage Victorian home with all of it's unique furniture, i.e., piano bed, grandparent's dressers for steps and closets, and the antique pieces certainly add to it's flair. Very cozy and inviting. I might someday be able to go that small, but I would need to get rid of a lot of stuff. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Bless her and her tiny house and cute little dog! She is living the dream and her tiny house is adorable, so much character and warmth, it’s like stepping back in time. Very clever to hide the modern stuff but still nice to have access to these things. One of the nicest tiny houses I have seen xxx
I think this is my favourite episode you've released, now to make it my reality! 😎
Awsome house and a awsome lady 🤗
The loveliest tiny house I have ever seen.
Clever and joyous for the Owner. Im glad. Every house should bring the owners that much joy. Thanks for the share.
Such a sweet and functional tiny home! I love how she's incorporated so much authentic design within her house, and tucks the modern bits away. I met folks doing a reenactment of a NW trading camp from the civil war period at a local park on one of our rivers. The women were dressed as native Americans, (as the trappers didn't bring Caucasian women along) and one couple let us peek inside the tent at their comfy air mattress, hidden under Hudson Bay blankets and furs!
I have seen this one before, but not as involved. Thanks!!
How beautiful to incorporate family keepsakes and personal history into this tiny home. Love it❤️
Love this woman and her house. So unique yet fun. Great sense of contentment.
Looks cozy
Awesome!!
OMG ... stairs & storage made from grandparents' dresser. I'm crying now.
This book is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to create various types of garden buildings. The book provides clear and detailed instructions with numerous photos. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxBE-xSmFU7PIaMFUmmhnFxE035s5svtxeAs a novice, I appreciated the book's step-by-step approach to the basics of building. The book also appeals to the more advanced DIY enthusiast with projects ranging from simple to complex. The book is up to date with the latest trends, such as solar panels, green roofs, and sweet chestnut shakes. The book has inspired me to pursue more projects in the future.
Beautiful home. This is all you need you can see the joy in her face. Thank you this was an excellent tour.
9:35 I’d seen your home on another show and really loved the old look and feel. It’s even more exciting to see, and hear the stories behind everything you have. I am an antiques fanatic and love everything about life before modern technologies so of course I love what you are portraying. 🥰
I like the house it’s really cute but I could not go through all that to go to bed each night. I love the idea of it but not the practicality of it. The bathrooms in tiny house just unpleasant to see. I don’t know how people sit in the room they give themselves. She has no knee room at all. I like the thought of going smaller which I have but I could never go so tiny that my space is no longer comfortable for me. Kudos to people who can. I love watching the videos
Kat Naps They have other tiny house builds with more space and bigger bathrooms. Just do a search.
you do you boo
jacijune I have looked at tons of plans and yea you’re right some have bigger bathrooms but than another space is smaller. I however have taken some of the concepts of tiny living and used it in a smaller house. These tiny houses has great storage ideas.
It's refreshing to see people sharing their separate options with respect. Great job guys.
I hadn't planned on living in it while I was building it, that kind of evolved... I would definitely have made the bathroom bigger if I had known I'd be using it for more than camping!
Such a nice tiny house! i watched quite a few videos of people living in tiny homes, and the more i watch them, the more i want this kind of life for myself...
You seem like such a nice person! Love your house. The picture of you and your granddaughter covering the TV is a treasure. God bless you.🌷Mary Lou
I sleep in a coffin--it works great !!
