    Many Americans have much larger homes than they really need and put themselves in a bind trying to pay for them. I applaud you for thinking small and for being creative and organized and making a beautiful home that you can most likely pay off much sooner than if you had chosen one 2 to 3 times that size. Looks to me like you have everything you need. You seem to be a very sweet lady with a happy family and that is what counts in life. Wishing you much happiness in your lovely home, and keep smiling. It's healthy, brings joy to those you love, and promotes peace and harmony within your home. Blessings to you and your family as you continue your journey!

    I think a small round upholstered storage ottoman would finish off that living room with a nice thick shag rug would make it cozy and the kids could use the ottoman to play on and you guys could use it to rest your legs. Super cute home. I can see you growing out of this home soon. Very good use of space and beautifully organized with soothing color pallet.

      My home is only 800 sq. ft. People teased that I have a small house. My small house has been paid off for 21 years. I paid $12,000 for a foreclosed house 21 years ago. I've just calculated how much these people who teased me have paid in rent. They have paid an average of $400-$700 per month in rent for 21 years, that is $100, 800.00-$176, 400.00 in rent.

      I grew up in a 750 sf house. It was small, but really well situated. As I grew into my teens a second bathroom or family room would have been nice, but on the whole it was great. My home now is larger (1100 sf), but I don’t think I would ever want more than 1500 sf.

      I would say it's tiny, most houses here in Europe are 2 story high. So it's usually 400 sqft on each floor, equals to 800 sqft. Sometimes some houses are 1000 sqft or more.
      Apartments are smaller though. So I guess that's where the misconception came from.

    I have a 900square foot house that is similar to yours. The extra space I think comes from the third bedroom, a slightly bigger bathroom and a separate, externally accessed, laundry. We also have a detached garage and shed. I was so worried that my house would be too small to be practical, but turns out we do not need as much stuff or space as we have been conditioned in recent years to think we do (particularly here in Australia, which I suspect is similar to the US. Other countries with smaller land area I know are different). Great tour. Thank you xx

    this video couldn't have come at a better time. I was just here, looking at all the stuff I own and thought to myself, "I want to be a minimalist and live tiny so badly, but I just have so much stuff! I wish there was someone online that showed how to live with less stuff but also was honest enough to show their 'junky side' too." Thanks so much! I really needed this. it shows that you can still have the best of both worlds. I don't necessarily want to just get rid of everything just for the sake of saying i'm a "minimalist" because I do have a lot of things I love. And I worked hard for. not only that, I feel as though everything has a season...and literally a season. I can't wear sweaters in the summer so why would I just get rid of them. Just store them!

    Love the simple and clean aesthetic of this house. For the people saying this house is not tiny. When you have four people in a 700 square foot house that equals less than 200 square feet a person. That's basically the size of a bath.

    • @Mar10la
      @Mar10la 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So their house equals the surface of less than 4 bath tubs? That doesn't make any sense to me. I think the point is that what is considered small or tiny is just a matter of by whom it is perceived. I understand it will be to most living in America or Canada for example, but it's definitely not for most people in Europe. I still do agree that it's small though, for a family of four

    I love those Ikea shoe cabinets, I have 6 in my home, one in the bathroom, three in the living room, and two in the family room. I use the ones in the living for shoes, all the others for various things. I love your idea of putting one in your bedroom as a clothes hamper. Your home is really beautiful.

    I would need more color. I lived in apartments with white walls until I was 33. When I bought my small condo, first thing I did was paint every room a different pastel color. It was 1993, so these colors were in style. I do like the comfy feel of your home & adore your wood artwork in the bedroom.

    Your house is amazing. I love the soothing color scheme and the clever use of storage cabinets. I think the word tiny that some commenters seem to be hung up on is relative. You also did a great job on the video. I have been searching for video tours of small/tiny houses like yours rather than the kind built on trailers. I am a fellow chicken tender :)

    Even if it was just me, that is as tiny as I'd ever want to go. There is no place in a true tiny house (under 200 sf, which to me is a closet) for someone who has true hobbies like quilting and has equipment and fabric, cutting tables, etc. Too many are going that small and regretting it later, adding storage buildings, which defeats the purpose, in my humble opinion. This is perfect, though I prefer a more rustic color scheme for me personally. Thank you for the tour!

      Me too! The storage shed she showed, I have a hallway cupboard about half that size and it is filled floor to ceiling with shelves for all my craft supplies and fabric! I always think that I could never live in a tiny home and give up my love of crafting and sewing! This home is lovely though and her organisation just gave me a kick up the arse to get on and finish organising mine! My house is about the same size, much bigger bathroom though, and bedroom, but I only have one bedroom so that allows the rooms to be a bit bigger overall. I need to trawl the ikea website and get ordering a ton of storage organisers! The only downside of crafting, is it can get messy really fast! Especially when you pop back and forth to bring out another tool or multiple supplies to work with! Am I right? 😂 A neat and tidy home can look like a hurricane swept through the living room in the blink of an eye! Or is that just me...? 😜😜😜

    We used to live in a 300 square metre house in Brisbane, Australia - there were 6 of us in our family. It was sooooooo big, if I had to clean it on my own it would have taken me 2 days to clean it every week but most of the time my 4 children helped with the cleaning and even then it took 5 of us at least ½ a day to clean it - what a waste of time!!!! AND I am very, very organised, I am NOT a hoarder, I have a place for everything and everything is in it’s place and I trained my 4 children to be neat, tidy and clean. My children left home and now my husband and I live in a 100 square metre unit and it only takes me 2 - 3 hours to do the cleaning each week - what joy. I think small homes are nicer because you get to spend more time with your children as a family. I grew up in a small house, again there were 6 of us in our family and I had to share a bedroom with my sister, wasn’t a problem at all. As children no toy was more interesting than playing outside where we were every spare second of every day. My children only had 2 boxes of toys between the 4 of them and the best entertainment for them was playing outside - for them to be inside was torture... which is how it should be...

    Thanks for sharing your lovely home. I am very, very impressed by how you made use of only 700 sq ft. Everything has its place, is neat and organized ... and with two children. It's important for people to know how much space they have to work with, and then purchase accordingly (or pare down). As I've seen in some small home and apartment tours, people tend to purchase over sized furniture or have too much furniture that give an otherwise nice space a cramped look. Thanks again.
