Solo Mother's Charming Tiny House Gives Financial Freedom
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2020
- In this weeks episode we meet Michelle, an inspirational solo mother who has constructed a beautiful tiny home in order to gain financial freedom now that her children have left home.
With her Children now older, this new empty nester has constructed a wonderful place to call home for less than the cost of a deposit on a regular larger home. This home is beautifully constructed and designed to be totally off the grid, giving Michelle the ability to park her tiny house in more locations.
This is a great example of how downsizing into a tiny house on wheels can help to free up financial resources and assist people in obtaining more freedom in life. We hope you enjoy the tour of this very special tiny house on wheels.

One of the things that I've always loved about the tiny house movement, is the way that it can help to financially liberate people and allow them a greater quality of life through downsizing. Michelle's inspirational story is a great example of that! I hope you all enjoy this tour of her lovely tiny home. With Love, Bryce & Rasa
I don't think I'll ever get a tiny house...
keep safe you guys and keep the dreams alive!
I love this channel! You are a great host/interviewer.
We went opposite... building an ever extending home.
My favorite host and show is back😊
I NEED to build myself a tiny house so that I can get Bryce to come and say 'This is LOVELY!' in person. Love this channel.
Haha
Same!
Oh, and I'm in love with Michelle too. She's just the sweetest thing.
😂😂😂😂 indeed
Me too🙋🏼♀️!!!
Michelle is one of the sweetest guests to appear on here, and that is saying something since every guest is a delight.
Meh. She’s financially irresponsible
Shame she’s still using her parents at her age and ain’t got her shit together for her kids
@@fireboltaz = troll. Go away.
@@perthbeastzzzz4574 - And it's a shame that miserable people like you need to spread their unhappiness around.
@@perthbeastzzzz4574 You certainly live up to your name! You area beast! A miserable and hateful one!
A sweet, charming lady. Her house is very light and airy feeling and the level of craftsmanship is very good. Good attention to details.
She sure is! Thanks Anthony!
@@shivangiparekh4980 Observant! I'm a patron. For a few bucks a month supporting the channel I get a bit of an advanced look at the videos.
Yeah
yeah love the crafts!!
That "surprise" pull out pantry in the bathroom is BOMB!! Such a great idea! Beautiful house all the way around, I love to see other moms doing well and thriving!🤗
Yesss! loved it too!
This is a brilliant idea! Bet it’d work well in any size home - in nearly any room. Storage ‘at the back’ usually ends up untouched over time.
What an inspiration to single mothers everywhere
Somehow I've always forgotten to praise the truly grand camera-work; it certainly enhances these perfect presentations. Thank you.
Rasa @ her best 👍
I liked how she’s also direct her answers to the person behind the camera - felt like a new dimension and showed how kind she seemed!
Ghai Me toooooooo! She’s sweet, but it made for an awkward interview. Bless her.
Totally agree. I imagine the lady behind the camera smiling to her😀
I love how giddy and excited this woman is. She seems so proud and happy in her space, just smiles all around. I couldn't help giggling watching this haha Great video Bryce and Rasa, love coming to this channel for inspiration for my future tiny house!
She’s an imbecile
@@fireboltaz what's wrong with you?
Eli Czaplinski aside from not filtering honesty?
@@fireboltaz Get a life dude🤦
@@fireboltaz what a truly nasty person you must be to make that comment 😡
I love how this tiny home really enables a sense of freedom and independence for Michelle! It must have been really hard to raise 4 boys on her own, I applaud women like her 👏❤
You have mirrored my own thoughts. Raising four boys alone means everything revolves around them. To be in a space that is completely hers must be nirvana.
You can really feel that her tiny home is her sanctuary that feeds her soul, frees her, and still allows her to be integral to her family. I'd call that successful living. Cheers!
Really beautiful & SWEET TINY HOUSE filled with gorgeous colors, meaningful pieces, and Michelle's needs & comforts. This is her very own home and isn't that wonderful! It ALWAYS feels like a really special honor to get to meet someone and have a tour through their home.
Thanks so much! And you're so right. I'm very grateful to the wonderful people who invite us into their lives and homes.
Very nice. Would have liked to see that counter extension more closely....from afar it looked like a waterfall effect... wonder how that was accomplished?
@@gailcraig4495 I saw a piano hinge at at 5:53. Then she swung it up and propped it up with a leg.
What a really lovely lady! The whole house spoke of family love, her boys now moved on but still very much a major part of her life, all the treasures she has gathered over the years. I love the beautiful window, again the special family connection 😊 Most of all I really hope she continues to make the most of her life, staying happy and content, a really lovely lady ❤
that was very kind of you to say WW. Well said. And that stained glass window was really amazing.
😍
@@timbutler3213 I don't know what to say, thank You! That was lovely of you to say as well 😊
How gorgeous that she named her house after her grandmothers. 🥰🌈
Love the blue vibe...well done on your beautiful home.
I absolutely love it when people are able to escape the rent trap, well done on her and her beautiful home! 👏
I think the most important thing is that she is content and happy!
Exactly! While not perfect, tiny houses remove a lot of financial stress from people allowing them to become happier people!
watching these videos always makes me so happy 😀 😁 such a sweet Lady!
Michelle is such a sweet lady and she’s made such an incredible home for herself!
It’s So nice that she is living next to her parents!Im so happy for her.Her house is beautiful!
This woman has a beautiful soul, which is reflected in her home and spiritual accents. Fortunately, once again, this tiny home was able to use family property to put the home on. That is the most frustrating challenge to tiny home living. Finding property is the key if you can afford the ticket price to purchase land or pay high lot rent in a rv park with no privacy.
at least in your country its legal to permanently live in a rv park, in my country those can only used for vacations or week-end stays....so unless you have someone in the family with a really big yard, you have to buy land, and with plotsizes meant for 'real' houses thats WAY expensive! i´ve been searching for a small, affordable plot for years, the normal, big ones would cost me twice as much as the actual home!
Always touching to see a dedicated, hard working mom, getting out of the financial burden and finding the balance she needs (as a single mom myself, I relate to that a lot and it gives me hope)!
In America living with or adjacent with your parents seems like its always viewed as a failure, we need not have that stigma anymore
Not only in America... In some SEA too apparently...
Nice too cause she can support her elderly parents.
@actionfighters Well I agree with you, it's a bad stigma. We have to think about being there for our parents in their old age. Its easier to live near them than moving in with them. Everyone needs their own space. They will need us. Michelle had the right idea.
I wish I could have cared for my parents. Lost them in my 20s. I have missed them every single day since. I do not see this living arrangement as a bad thing at all. Not at all. It’s a blessing for her parents and for Michelle.
As we get older we realize how much we value being near our parents. They so suddenly are not there anymore and I wish so much that I had spent more time with my Dad and could be with my Mum now
Me: Ooh it’s almost 1AM I should go to bed...
Tiny House: I’m about to end this girl’s whole sleeping routine😂
It’s very gorgeous and colorful I think! Well done madam👍🏻
12:58 AM
HAHAHAHA!! Exactly.
Aww! Bryce, you and your partner have a way of making people feel at ease. I was so happy for Michelle and her beautiful home. You guys made her feel so special
I could see it in the way her face lit up when she was giving the tour of her lovely home. Love your videos! Stay safe🌸
Michelle's tiny home is just gorgeous, and I'm absolutely totally in love with that stained glass window, absolutely stunning ❤️❤️
I love Michelle's home and I LOVE Michelle! What a lovely lady-she just exudes warmth and joy. The fact that she honors her family in so many ways is so touching.
She is so lucky to have what appears to be a very close family, just wonderful.
I Love Michelle and her Tiny Home it is so Adorable... am also a Solo Parent...
The stain glass is amazing in her home. I love the way she set up her couch - it’s really like a living room. Well done!!!
right?Frick those benches they put a sponge on and call them "sofas" XD
The thing that caught my attention the most is the window! It's so well made and so beautiful, it was a great idea putting it in there!!😍
She shows a palpable sense of relief at feeling financially free. Good On her!
I love that it’s not too perfect, it adds charm and feels homey and cozy. It also shows personality. Really impressed and in awe with this tiny home
The spirit of true Hygge.
Exactly! Nice to see some realistic charm here & there!✌️
Michelle's house really emphasizes how someone can be gentle & meek in their demeanor but their tiny house lets their personality explode. Great house, great channel!
I am so happy to see Michelle living the life she wants now. She is such a lovely person, a little shy on the outside, yet such tremendous inner strength to have raise 4 boys on her own!
I saw that Moosewood cookbook! Listening to Michelle talk about her tiny house made me happy. Congratulations Michelle. You really nailed it.
SlownSteady I noticed that as well. 😃
Add me to that list as well!!
Lol and the Magic Eye too.
I saw it because of the word „Katzen“ - in german it means „cats“ and I wondered why she has a german book about cats 😂 then googled it and found out it‘s a cookbook 😅😍
LaurinchenEliannah - How to Cook Cats.
Awww. Poor fur babies.
Her home is one of the most roomy tiny houses I’ve ever seen! I’m so glad it’s been working out well for her, it looks very well designed!
Absolutely love the bathroom sink and the pull-out storage! Nice colour choice for the sink & couch too - my fave ;-)
The pull out storage in the bathroom is a super clever use of space! Was great to see that. :)
What a gorgeous space made for the sweetest lady. I would live here in a heartbeat.
She's so sweet and charming 😊😊😊
What a beautiful, personal, functional tiny home. Ticks every box!
Bryce: Oh this is lovely
Michelle: yeah 😄
Beautiful home!! Love the hidden pull out pantry! So happy to see that she has such a wonderful place to call home!!
Eek I don't know why, but your closing comments in the episode made me a bit teary Bryce! Congratulations Michelle, wishing you many happy years in your beautiful new home 😊
Very lovely, warm and inviting, she made me feel happy just watching; and I admire her dedication and sacrifice to her family. Excited for her next journey and being free to do what she wants. Best of luck😊
I love the bathroom cabinet that rolls out, but has storage on the front too! The bathroom sink is gorgeous!
Michelle is such a sweet lady! Her house is beautiful, congratulations and well done!
Thank you for sharing Bryce and Rasa! I LOVE your channel and am totally addicted! XOXO
Michelle has the loveliest energy!
We LOVE her windows! Ever since we found this channel we have been hooked. This must be a sign that we have been thinking in the right direction. Thank you Bryce. You have opened our eyes to endless possibilities with this channel.
I've been watching every episode for years. I'm hoping to downsize in my golden years. Hopefully regulations on Tiny homes will be easier by then.
What a sweet heart she has! How wonderful that she has a close family! She's decorated that home so beautifully. I love how warm and welcoming it is!
Her bed loft is so great. The best so far I have seen, I think. Lovely home.
She's so sweet. Love the lead in glass window
Such a beautiful home... what attracts me the most she loves her flowers, the
Beautification is breathtaking....10/10 in my book.
I love all the little decor pieces and how beautifully lit the home is. Wish her happiness and peace.
That's a really functional tiny home.I love the fact that she can stand up in the loft.
Now this is what you call PARADISE 🥰🥰🥰 I love her house so much... you can tell lots of love and creativity went in her home💘💙
i love watching these videos they are soothing. keep safe everyone
Absolutely love the stained glass and the tea area. That's a first and it's perfect! Such a lovely home and a wonderful mom. Thank you for sharing.
I have watched many of Bryce's videos and anxiously look forward to each new one. Not only are the homes very interesting but Bryce's voice is very relaxing. A part of me wishes I could live like this but I have several thousand books and it would never work. Still, I love watching these videos.
I love Michelle and her home! They fit each other perfectly
Amazing bathroom and bedroom. This lady is so lovely! She’s so positive and happy!
The interior design is the best i have ever seen so far in a tiny house.
I cried in a cool way at the end of the video because I can see the hardships that she has been through raising 4 boys on her own in a rented house. Now she has finally settled down. Bless her courageous soul.
She seems like the sweetest lady! How thoughtful of her to match the exterior of her house with her parents!
She is so sweet!! I love her beautiful tiny home!!
This show is so comforting, thank you for making it
But that stained glass window, made my first words "lovely"... makes it illuminate warm coziness. Breathtaking.
I love that she is close to her parents as well ❤️
What a great tiny house and what a beautiful story behing it. Michelle is inspiring!
I trully believe, if we all lived in tiny homes the world could be a better place, all dept free, enjoying our surroundings and loved ones more, keeping a balance with nature.
Thank you for sharing all these videos and the stories behing it, always look forward to seeing them! One day hoping to make my own tiny home.
Greetings from Honduras!
Such a lovely home, she did an amazing job. My dream (apart from travelling) is to build my own tiny home.. As a single mum of older children too, who are about to venture off with their lives, it's nice to have these videos as inspiration 😊
Wow! I love her choices of colors and use of plants. The colors in the big bold stained glass bring the Tiny to life. I also love the use of black trim that beautifully contrast the orange tan walls. 😍
TAKE A SHOT EVERY TIME SHE SAYS "YEAH!"
Yeah, yeah yeah😂 gotta love her

What a beautiful home ! It’s so nice that she is there to help take care of her parents but has her own space and can go see her children when she wants to. Such a beautiful story 😍
I gasped when I saw the interior. Gorgeous home😍
This whole house has got me so mesmerized... I am in love with it!
Lovely home for a lovely woman, she seems awesome! I really liked the colour scheme and loft in this one. Thanks for another great video Bryce!
That wicked piece of stain glass, took me straight back to. The Dark Side of the Moon. It truly is a talking piece of artwork in her tiny house. Awesome!
She had some really nice artwork. I loved the little stepping stones going from her house to her parents’ and that sink was soooo cool.
I saw the Moosewood Cookbook on her bedroom shelf, I love Ithaca, NY. That’s where I went to college! Brings back memories.
Adorable tiny home!! Love her bedroom layout, and the stained glass which is quirky and cool! This tiny home is beautiful! There is nothing about it that I dislike.
Such a lovely hardworking woman. She deserves everything that this life has to offer. She raised her family, and is now helping her parents, is she not the sweetest person ever?!?!
Great video, thank you for sharing.
happy to see how happy she seems in her tiny home! She seems like such a great mom too!
What a gorgeous tiny home. The stained glass window upon entering is such a cool element and also the way she uses pops of color all over the house that somehow tie in together. One can see her talents throughout the place! I love her style!
Lovely home! She is a sweet lady.
Willing to be there when her parents need her.
OMG wow. It's absolutely perfect. Such lovely bits of artistry... And colours that carry throughout as a theme
She did such a great job, so happy for her.
I can see how happy and relief of the stress of life she is.
One of my favorite videos on your channel. Michelle is lovely and she has made a beautiful home.
THIS.IS.ABSOLUTELY.LOVELY 😜
I love how these videos start ❤️
What a sweet mum and delightful story, she certainly deserves it, she's done her time and now to focus on her parents and possibly grand children in the future...good for her and her beautiful home...
This is such a lovely lady, I mean the positivity she has can be felt in the way she speaks the way she explained things. ♥️♥️
Bryce, you are so lovely. You do such a good job of encouraging her to keep talking though she seems a bit nervous. This is a lovely house too, so full of family memories
Goal: leave the rat race, downsize to build small house, and travel
And spend more money on it than comparable houses.
@@Josef_R what you mean?
@@shaloon64 I said what I mean. They are ridiculously overpriced.
u cant travel freely
@@Josef_R ya I would not wanna spend anywhere close to $160 000 for a tiny house even if it's nice like this one.
It’s a dream to have a tiny house and have you guys come see it 🥰
you can tell she reslly loves blue just by seeing her house....😍
I like the fact that she makes eye contact with the camera. It gives the viewer a sense of acknowledgement that someone else is there and that person is not "out of the picture by default," which sometimes experience by the camera-person. Such a beautiful house and a lovely lady :)
My weekly dose of tiny house is here!!
This is so amazing... Loved the bathroom and that massive glass in the entrance.
This definetly my goal to achieve in the next 3-4 years, build my own container home 👏👏
Its the way of the future 💯
Such a lovely woman, thank you team for bringing another great episode!!!!!!!
I love this woman. She raised her 4 children, now living in her own house besides her parents, looking after her parents and also enjoying her live to the fullest. And her home feels so warm, friendly and good.
What a sweetheart she is!! Her home is beautiful & just right. Love that she is living her life exactly the way she wants to!! Enjoying life 💖
What an incredible home and an incredible story! We kept our home small for the same reasons, and we're also hoping to go even smaller once our kids are grown!
Wow very cool. I love her style!
I love her energy... Beautiful light ✨
The world needs more Michelles. She is very sweet and this is very much reflected in her beautiful home. In these difficult times it's lovely - and necessary - to have such positive stories. Many thanks from Sydney, Aust - Dave
Stunningly beautiful ❤️
