I fully agree. I’m truly dreading giving up my sanctuary to live with someone else, even though that someone is a man I love. Why would I want to go from sleeping in my comfortable bed in silence with blackout curtains to a halved, uncomfortable bed with snoring and light pollution? 😢 I need my quality sleep in order to function optimally.

I used to say that the best thing for a marriage would be a duplex...one side for each partner. I'm thinking that this is an even better idea. Before my hubby passed we had separate bedrooms because he was ill and snored like crazy, and I still had to get up for work and needed to sleep! It worked really great for us, but there was always a "friend" who seemed devastated that we didn't sleep in the same bed every night! Our relationship was so wonderful, and I miss him every day.
This is Ryk: I am sorry Karen for your loss. You did it the way it worked for you.....its like people who don't have kids giving parenting advice....people have forgotten how to be respectful.

I would recommend to young couples to also plan to eventually have separate bathrooms and closets for each of you. It doesn't matter so much when you are newlyweds, but in a few years it spares you a lot of irritation. ;)
My Hubby and I (28 yrs and counting - both in our 70's) have two tiny house cabins on the same 20 acres. We are happier now than we have ever been. He has his shop and I have a studio, so we do have some out buildings, but even those are independent of each other. We love each other, but this makes life so much more comfortable!
@@TinyHouseExpedition not sure we qualify as tiny...mine is 750 sq. ft. his is 700...but would be willing to share...I did mine out of two storage sheds connected in an L shape on a cement foundation.... he built his stick frame on standing pillars (a work in progress). Mine is completed.

"His and Hers" tiny homes? You are absolute geniuses. I love this idea! They are both such beautiful homes. It's lovely that you have your own spaces, but you still come together.
I absolutely love this arrangement: that way, no one compromises on their individual style and most importantly, each person has their own space, which makes coming together seem like perpetual dates 🙂
@@Rapturetjmoore . Hehehe. I know exactly what you mean. My hubby snores too and sometimes I'm so frustrated, I want to put him out. No wonder I'm so intrigued by this kind of arrangement. 😄 🤣
I have separate bedrooms I love it would not have it any other way, since he would not move out I moved out the bedroom into a spare bedroom never moving back
The husband has jokes for days and I’m living for it! They seem very happy to have their own spaces yet still have the ability to stay together! I might need to send this to my parents 😂
I've always wanted this - two separate homes with maybe a fire pit in the middle. We can have our own styles and stuff and space.. but still be together. I would 100 percent live this way and not really care what others say.

I adore this. After being through so many failed relationships, where I was the one mainly having to leave and start all over, I love the fact of having my own things that can't be taken away. By each having their own spaces but yet still together, that is the ultimate sense of security. I like the mans house best, they are living my dream....now just to find a husband like hers. Lol
I'm with you there. I've decided that I'm never moving in with someone again unless we are married, because I'm not going through upheavals like that if things don't work out, ive learned my lesson. Independence is so important, it just sucks that world has gotten crazy expensive so it makes the most economical sense to live with your partner.
I understand the failed relationships. I've been there, too, including two disastrous marriages to two different big jerks. Now I just prefer to live alone, and leave all the narcissistic males to their own mirrors!
What I love about this Vlog, is that it's just not about Tiny Houses but, it's a collective of lives and experiences of people. The fact that this great couple have separate but shared places is a treasure.. It works for them and seem really happy. What a great life philosophy too. I love what they did in both places There very different and designed which the individual interests and tastes.. Keep these great videos coming.
After a bad fight my parents started staying in separate rooms and ever since then they got along SO MUCH better. It seemed some of their arguments stemmed from not having that much freedom in their spaces (like dad wanted this lamp while mom didn't) now they have their own space they got closer lmao
For an older couple coming together I think this is the ideal situation to maintain a happy relationship. My girlfriend had gotten sick for sometime and her husband was not able to get enough sleep for work so he ended up taking the guest room. It worked out so great for them that when they moved they selected a house where they would both have a really nice separate bedroom. Seems to be working out great for them.
My husband and I have separate bedrooms. I'm a chronic pain sufferer and am constantly struggling to get comfortable. After 14 1/2 years of this nonsense (my conditions), I finally convinced my husband to take to guest room. It's been wonderful for both of us. He gets a good night's rest and I don't have to worry that I'm keeping him awake all night with my constant shifting and noise making. Plus he snores louder than 80 lumberjacks sawing wood at train depot! 😂
I knew an older couple that did the same thing once their kids were grown and out of the house. They lived in separate homes across from each other on the same street. 😄 It worked.
Absolutely love the idea of 2 tiny's side by side for a couple. There's always space for guest, potential rental income, and as the outlet for creative expression. What a fantastic couple!
What a great idea. I wished every family member in my household could live in separate tiny houses instead under one roof. This way everyone could have their own privacy and would avoid a lot of conflict. 😊
There's a video here on YT that shows that very thing. A family has built a compound where each of their teenage children have their own tiny. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it, but if one looks it up on the YT search engine, it should be easy enough to find it.
I love the idea of this. My hubby, college aged kiddo, and I can have our own spaces. As she mentioned in the video, people have a man cave ( or a she shed), so why not just have separate tiny homes. I'd still want to sleep with my hubby every night and he agrees, but a separate space for guests would be nice. My parents are getting older so having another tiny house for them would give them independence while still being able to care for them. Until they'd move in it would make an awesome guest house.
This would work like a CHARM for me! Being close enough to see each other but still having personal space that you can personalize to your liking and knowing that the other person is within reach. I’m BIG on ME TIME so I just think this is unique YES but I have a feeling that this couple will be together forever. This was so nice to watch 😊
I must say that this seems like the perfect arrangement. Most couples end up in separate bedrooms eventually, so why not have a completely separate space to yourself. More marriages may have thrived with this living concept.
I love the idea of having separate tiny houses, giving you the freedom to just like the husband said, express yourself. And oh the husband's tiny house looks impressive
"Cute"? A couple in their mid or late 50's, cute? Cute is for puppies, kittens and babies, and even those things lose their cuteness once they reach a certain age and stage of life. This coupole isn't "cute," and certainly not "sooooooo" cute!
I love the idea of two people, two tiny homes virtually side-by-side. It's like one good sized home for two with a patio in the middle. Great idea, folks.
I really liked her house. So cozy. Then we saw Ryk’s place and I was like wow! Awesome, Man Cave! They both have amazing taste and style. What an amazing couple. Amazing compound lifestyle! The way you showed their places was like having a great cup of coffee on a cold blustery day. Sooooo satisfying!👌👍😉
I LOVE THIS!!! We've been married almost 42 years, and I've always thought how nice it would be to live next door to each other. I already have my own digs designed. I told my hub I could design his too, but, for some reason, he gets offended that I'd rather be married neighbors. LOL!! What a dream come true!
I've seen the use of cubbies as the bed foundation, stacked side by side for long cubes, her mattress fit on top perfectly. Store bought, the put together furniture place we all know. I would have never checked Etsy, but I need under bed storage (doing an RV Reno, permanently installed plumbing. Found myself solo at 63, I never got to sing, "when I'm 64"!!! Buy this 10 x 35 ft 1 bed with (tip outs, now called slides) There is no head room for much raising of anything. I bought non woven type fabric drawers, as I didn't need to support anything, just to find what would fit. I came home in a mini monsoon last night, still in the car! Headed out before it starts again today..... hoping they fit.
After living in 350 sq ft, I had a glass room aka the sauna. It serves more as storage during construction on the main home, I insulated and darkened from the sun, then installed my A/C, my living space, when complete will be 630 sq ft. Buying this project was a necessity for a roof over my head. I also learned, by the tiny house rule of thumb, under 399 sq ft was NOT going to work for me and my STUFF! Furniture passed on from relatives, especially. I have my parents bedroom suite, big clunky traditional 70's stuff. I'm repurposing the armoire into a TV stand. Then nightstand, never fitting next to the bed will become an end table in the living space. Having fun making what I have useful, or making it so!!! (The water in the sunroom last night is not to be talked about here..... Another post!
It’s true when you get older you tend to look at stuff a different way. You realized it’s time to start decluttering and enjoy what makes you happy. Good luck to this couple and their many adventures.
You spend most of your life accumulating the stuff, and then it takes years to get rid of all of it, especially when you end up with belongings from other relatives who passed away. I could easily have 2 to 3 homes I have so much "treasure". I don't want to just chuck a lot of my stuff as a lot of it is pretty nice, so trying to sell or give away the best of it and it is taking much longer than I thought. My house looks like the back room at the Salvation Army.
Same as couples that hide in the house from one another because they do not , never have and never will get along … but usually stay together for the kids! They seem super happy and if that works then maybe they are smarter then the rest if us ( actually there is no maybe , THEY ARE 💗
You guys are by far, to me, the coolest inspirational couple! Most likely more couples would have long lasting loving relationship!! Bravo for following through and setting hope and promising options for others
This is so ideal! If I ever find myself in a relationship again, this is a great way to be close & still independent. I hope they love Oregon as much as I have living here my entire life...I think they've got s good thing going 🌲🌊❤
Wow now this couple has the right idea, they're actually paying less rent monthly for two tiny's then if they were to live in an apartment somewhere else. They're living the life and so they should. More power to them.🙏🏽😊
If that's "less" rent, then I sure as the world wouldn't want to live wherever they are! I have a beautiful two bedroom apartment in a sweet tiny city in the Midwest, live alone (after two disastrous "marriages"), and pay only 1/5 the rent they pay there. I don't have to take care of the outside, and if anything goes wrong inside, I call the maintenance crew and they take care of it. I do like that couple's idea, and I do like their homes, but not such terribly expensive rent!
@@jb6712 That's pretty much the national average, so I hope you're aware that you live in a rental market that's one of the most affordable in the country and enjoy having the extra spending money that most don't have.
This is so ideal for older folks getting together later in life. It's harder to combine when you're older. This would be ideal for me, but I would want our own property on adjacent lots that we own. I have concerns of moving into someone else's property... If he dies before me, would his offspring contest the homesite and me getting kicked to the curb. This way, I'd have my own house with no worries of being left homeless. Hopefully, we both live to be 100 and healthy.
My husband and I have been married for 50 years, I can see where this would be beneficial. I have my hobbies and interests and my husband has his, but I'm organized and he IS NOT, so this makes it VERY difficult for me. I constantly feel pressured to try to keep him organized because he's constantly looking for things and accusing me of hiding it. I can't stand the mess. Separate BUT together would be perfect. Great idea.
This is just bloody brilliant - I reckon that every couple of any age who has the possibility of living separately but together should do it. It's incredibly beneficial to the relationship and one's individual mental well-being. I love this arrangement they've got going...
We are a young couple but we have separate rooms. He goes to bed early and gets up early and I like to stay up late and we can do our hobbies in our rooms. It sounds weird but it works great having our very own spaces and then everything else is shared.
I love the Mount Hood area!!! After 35 years together, my hubby & i would definitely need separate homes!!! (Plus 2 more rooms for all our projects!!!) My brother and sister-in-luv's live across the river in White Salmon.
My male best friend and I wanted to do this, we ranked about it for years but he had to take care of his mom. Unfortunately shortly after his mom died and before he could retire a severe medical issue resulted in his having to live in a long term medical care facility. We used to dream of having 2 tiny homes connected by breezeways to a building in between them to serve as a kitchen, family room, a guest bedroom area and a bathroom. If we both sold our properties we could've done it. The mid section was for when family visited or could've served as an airbnb when not in use by visitors. I still think it was a good idea. I have to help my 89 year old mom now, don't know what's going to happen. I'm not free to move. I still dream of tiny house living in the country but close to a town. I want chickens and a garden. I'm happy for this couple and I think separate homes with shared spaces is a great idea!
Don’t give up your dream. I am 80, live in a cabin I built myself, grow all my own food, and am off grid. Been living like this for 60 years. It’s wonderful.
They're both such characters and their homes are perfect for them. He's done an amazing job setting up his space and I love seeing how they use both homes together
Together but living apart is the way to go. The happiest couples I know have separate homes/condos and go back and forth. I love the side by side tiny homes idea.
This couple is quite happy, I love their attitude. Their homes are very nice, the man cave house has a sophisticated decor, the wall of artwork that separates the kitchen from the office is superb, love love love. I like their approach to make their homes practical, having a place to land when coming in and to store the clothes seems to lack in several tiny homes.
Apart from having a bit more expenses, this double tiny for a couple looks close to perfect. Nobody has to sacrifice anything in terms of space, independence, design, hobbies and quirks. I suspect a much better set up for, like they say, mature couples, who have passed the lovey dovey stage in their relationships. Yet it allows them companionship and the closeness of someone they trust, and enjoy spending a lot of peaceful and quality time with. Another plus point is if one is a snorer, you can even sleep separately! Love both the tinys but am slightly more biased to the husband's space. Industrial and sleek yet feels mystical with his quirky collections, love it!
What an awesome idea!!! By the time someone is 'older' and has been living alone for several years, they're also fairly set in their ways and how they like things to be. You two have what I consider a perfect solution - a total WIN/WIN situation. Congratulations and many, many years of happiness together in your lovely homes.
This couple couldn’t be any sweeter or more perfect for each other! Loved everything about their lifestyle, their choice in design & decor. Thanks you guys for sharing your lives with us❤️🙏❤️
This couple has the perfect solution to aging together. Both spaces are comfy and artistic. I liked how one of the houses can be used when there is company. I do think about aging in place and having a bed or recliner accessible if someone has surgery is something to consider. Just loved their houses, adventurous spirits, and location.
This couple has a beautiful set up without giving up their independence and ability to express themselves individually. They are both beautiful and full of character and charm. I guess I’m a little envious. :-)
The ideal living setup is for each person to have their own self-contained space. Regardless of the situation.. conventional family, a couple...platonic or intimate relationship..we all , at some time need time to ourselves .... be it for a few hours or a few days. All relationships will benefit when that privacy is respected.
I LOVE how different their houses are, each has so much personality. There's things I like about each, but overall I think I'd prefer to live in his house. I love his kitchen and the fact he basically has his own wine cellar 😂. I love that she has a dedicated creative space whilst he has a dedicated office space. If I got married I would love a set up like this.
I love his tiny house ! I cried it’s so beautiful. I fell in love with tiny houses in 2010. I had become disabled and I had to give up my career. I was very depressed so my husband brought an iPad home to me one day. I found youtube and tiny homes. It’s changed my life. It gave me hope. We did purchase a property 12 acres and converted a shed cabin. But we don’t live in it. We settled in a very small country town in a typical 3 bed 2 baths after selling our big suburban home. Currently we are transforming our back yard. It’s completely tropical. Big pool with a deck. A hot tub deck. Soon the back porch will be a sunroom. And the carport will be enclosed it will be huge office for my husband. I’m not sure if we will stay here. Although I love the things my husband has built. We might move to Florida where our youngest lives. If we do that we will sale both properties and give that a try. But honestly I’m comfortable. And if we lived in the shed cabin I would be happy there too. Life is a journey. Enjoy where you are on that journey. Thank you so much for sharing! Leslye
My husband and I are approaching our retirement years. So we're preparing ahead of time. We sold our home which we were still under water in, and bought a mobile home free and clear. He then stripped the interior and we , well, he rebuilt it the way we wanted our retirement home to be. It turned out gorgeous! Never seen one like it before. Now we're free and clear of a mortgage in our retirement home, paying under $750 a month for lot rental, gas, light,water, cable,insurance, etc... Cars are all paid off too!
Talk about living the good life! This couple has found that golden key to true love and utter happiness❤️ Beautiful life, Beautiful couple, Beautiful homes❤️
That's so ideal for couples!! No more fights for what's mine, yours, and who gets to say over what, or the problems that come from needing your own space. I want this!!
I could have never imagined how the husband's tiny home would be on the inside but it was beautifully appointed with his works of art and collectibles that he valued. I loved his choice of design of the space and also how he organized the kitchen and bathroom. The office table was so unique and he thought of everything he wanted to feel he had enough space to live in and still connect with his wife/partner. As a woman myself, I assumed I would have been more attracted to the way a women's decor, design, colors and functionality would be but I found her space too cluttered and I didn't like the open stairs to the loft. The husband's house was way more attractive, functional and style of what I would love for myself. They both had their own styles and instead of compromising and giving up what they love, I see their situation a perfect solution. They are connected, have what they each love and the style they want. Also to my big surprise, the husband's Tony house was way more organized and really neat and tidy, especially the kitchens. This is the perfect couple enjoying their lives together separately with room to breathe and keep their individual styles. I would definitely do this and have a separate tiny house next to one another with my husband if we ever considered tiny house living. I also think married couples who are retired need their own space to do their hobbies and have a place to call their own. They can spend as much or as little time as they want.
They both have a good style. I personally really like his tiny house more. 2 separate house but parked side by side is a good idea for a couple.
This is every introvert's dream😍 Doing things together but separately.
Absolutely!
I so agree. Introvert here ✋🏿

This couple has the right idea. Chef's kiss!!
I adore this. After being through so many failed relationships, where I was the one mainly having to leave and start all over, I love the fact of having my own things that can't be taken away. By each having their own spaces but yet still together, that is the ultimate sense of security. I like the mans house best, they are living my dream....now just to find a husband like hers. Lol
This is Ryk: I understand where you are coming from. Take care of you and follow your passion...these houses were ours! Thanks for visiting.
Yep, been there!!
I'm with you there. I've decided that I'm never moving in with someone again unless we are married, because I'm not going through upheavals like that if things don't work out, ive learned my lesson. Independence is so important, it just sucks that world has gotten crazy expensive so it makes the most economical sense to live with your partner.
I understand the failed relationships. I've been there, too, including two disastrous marriages to two different big jerks. Now I just prefer to live alone, and leave all the narcissistic males to their own mirrors!
this chick got a lot of Idols in her house LOL
What I love about this Vlog, is that it's just not about Tiny Houses but, it's a collective of lives and experiences of people. The fact that this great couple have separate but shared places is a treasure.. It works for them and seem really happy. What a great life philosophy too. I love what they did in both places There very different and designed which the individual interests and tastes.. Keep these great videos coming.
Thank for the kind feedback Paul!
it would be a "great life-"for the homeless driven out by high rents to just have a roof over their heads
Great video...I watch alot...thnx....just bought an,8×20...perfect for solo,senior,female
This is the new age version of mom and dad having their own spaces in a regular house 💙
Finally, people with stuff. Love the separate spaces.
Love the separate tiny homes for self expression, and more room in between the houses for hanging out!🥰
This is actually a great idea and could probably save lots of marriages
After a bad fight my parents started staying in separate rooms and ever since then they got along SO MUCH better. It seemed some of their arguments stemmed from not having that much freedom in their spaces (like dad wanted this lamp while mom didn't) now they have their own space they got closer lmao
Absolutely
For an older couple coming together I think this is the ideal situation to maintain a happy relationship. My girlfriend had gotten sick for sometime and her husband was not able to get enough sleep for work so he ended up taking the guest room. It worked out so great for them that when they moved they selected a house where they would both have a really nice separate bedroom. Seems to be working out great for them.
My husband and I have separate bedrooms. I'm a chronic pain sufferer and am constantly struggling to get comfortable. After 14 1/2 years of this nonsense (my conditions), I finally convinced my husband to take to guest room. It's been wonderful for both of us. He gets a good night's rest and I don't have to worry that I'm keeping him awake all night with my constant shifting and noise making. Plus he snores louder than 80 lumberjacks sawing wood at train depot! 😂
Same thing happened with us. My husband got sick and at one point I had to get some sleep and now we happily have separate rooms.
@@juliefisk8066 I hear you! I have chronic pain and other issues,my other half takes the spare room when I'm just too poorly x works for us!
I knew an older couple that did the same thing once their kids were grown and out of the house. They lived in separate homes across from each other on the same street. 😄 It worked.
I divorced my ex and went no contact. Now, I no longer have to deal with he., I have a dog, a motorcycle, a boat and peace.
Absolutely love the idea of 2 tiny's side by side for a couple. There's always space for guest, potential rental income, and as the outlet for creative expression. What a fantastic couple!
Great points!
Couldn't agree more!
What a great idea. I wished every family member in my household could live in separate tiny houses instead under one roof. This way everyone could have their own privacy and would avoid a lot of conflict. 😊
There's a video here on YT that shows that very thing. A family has built a compound where each of their teenage children have their own tiny. I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it, but if one looks it up on the YT search engine, it should be easy enough to find it.
I love the idea of this. My hubby, college aged kiddo, and I can have our own spaces. As she mentioned in the video, people have a man cave ( or a she shed), so why not just have separate tiny homes. I'd still want to sleep with my hubby every night and he agrees, but a separate space for guests would be nice.
My parents are getting older so having another tiny house for them would give them independence while still being able to care for them. Until they'd move in it would make an awesome guest house.
That’s the exact setup my ex’s in-laws had in the eastern mountains in Jamaica. A beautiful little compound.
This would work like a CHARM for me! Being close enough to see each other but still having personal space that you can personalize to your liking and knowing that the other person is within reach. I’m BIG on ME TIME so I just think this is unique YES but I have a feeling that this couple will be together forever. This was so nice to watch 😊
I think it’s quite brilliant having two separate places, together! Especially if one of you is a bit OCD, but your spouse is not.
Good point 😅
I’d possibly still be married to my OCD ex-spouse if we’d had separate living spaces with options to eat and sleep together.
Or snores
I must say that this seems like the perfect arrangement. Most couples end up in separate bedrooms eventually, so why not have a completely separate space to yourself. More marriages may have thrived with this living concept.
I love the idea of having separate tiny houses, giving you the freedom to just like the husband said, express yourself. And oh the husband's tiny house looks impressive
This is the very best I have ever seen in the tiny house world.
They are soooooooo cute! They seem so comfortable with each other and so proud of their own style and tiny house. What an inspiration!
"Cute"? A couple in their mid or late 50's, cute? Cute is for puppies, kittens and babies, and even those things lose their cuteness once they reach a certain age and stage of life. This coupole isn't "cute," and certainly not "sooooooo" cute!
@@jb6712 well, that's your point of view. Definitely not mine.
@@jb6712 Sorry you’re wrong, they are definitely a super cute couple
You are absolutely right
Love this idea of having two tiny homes for a married couple! If it doesn't work out, you still have a home of your own!
I love the idea of two people, two tiny homes virtually side-by-side. It's like one good sized home for two with a patio in the middle. Great idea, folks.
I really liked her house. So cozy. Then we saw Ryk’s place and I was like wow! Awesome, Man Cave! They both have amazing taste and style. What an amazing couple. Amazing compound lifestyle! The way you showed their places was like having a great cup of coffee on a cold blustery day. Sooooo satisfying!👌👍😉
This is Ryk: great cup of coffee on a cold blustery day...that is a great comment ;-). thanks!
I'm a 70 y.o. woman, and I like his house somewhat better than hers, too.
@@jb6712 😆👍LOVE IT!!!👍😉
Hello 👋
My only concern is her open staircase without handrail.
If my wife and I ever get our vows renewed or whatever people do, I’m definitely adding in “and I will make you coffee every morning”.
I LOVE THIS!!! We've been married almost 42 years, and I've always thought how nice it would be to live next door to each other. I already have my own digs designed. I told my hub I could design his too, but, for some reason, he gets offended that I'd rather be married neighbors. LOL!! What a dream come true!
We’ve lived this way for 3 years now and wouldnt have it any other way!❤
@@elisaboots1125 I am so impressed by you two! What a wonderful way to live!! (big hugs)
@@nomopms1Thanks!😊
Love the semi raised bed. No wasted space, headroom and no ladder. Great idea.
Seriously an incredible use of space!
I've seen the use of cubbies as the bed foundation, stacked side by side for long cubes, her mattress fit on top perfectly. Store bought, the put together furniture place we all know. I would have never checked Etsy, but I need under bed storage (doing an RV Reno, permanently installed plumbing. Found myself solo at 63, I never got to sing, "when I'm 64"!!! Buy this 10 x 35 ft 1 bed with (tip outs, now called slides) There is no head room for much raising of anything. I bought non woven type fabric drawers, as I didn't need to support anything, just to find what would fit. I came home in a mini monsoon last night, still in the car! Headed out before it starts again today..... hoping they fit.
After living in 350 sq ft, I had a glass room aka the sauna. It serves more as storage during construction on the main home, I insulated and darkened from the sun, then installed my A/C, my living space, when complete will be 630 sq ft. Buying this project was a necessity for a roof over my head. I also learned, by the tiny house rule of thumb, under 399 sq ft was NOT going to work for me and my STUFF! Furniture passed on from relatives, especially. I have my parents bedroom suite, big clunky traditional 70's stuff. I'm repurposing the armoire into a TV stand. Then nightstand, never fitting next to the bed will become an end table in the living space. Having fun making what I have useful, or making it so!!! (The water in the sunroom last night is not to be talked about here..... Another post!
It’s true when you get older you tend to look at stuff a different way. You realized it’s time to start decluttering and enjoy what makes you happy. Good luck to this couple and their many adventures.
You spend most of your life accumulating the stuff, and then it takes years to get rid of all of it, especially when you end up with belongings from other relatives who passed away. I could easily have 2 to 3 homes I have so much "treasure". I don't want to just chuck a lot of my stuff as a lot of it is pretty nice, so trying to sell or give away the best of it and it is taking much longer than I thought. My house looks like the back room at the Salvation Army.
Same as couples that hide in the house from one another because they do not , never have and never will get along … but usually stay together for the kids!
They seem super happy and if that works then maybe they are smarter then the rest if us ( actually there is no maybe , THEY ARE 💗
I love it. I must say, “these are the best tiny homes I’ve seen.” The ‘his’ house I like a lot.
You guys are by far, to me, the coolest inspirational couple! Most likely more couples would have long lasting loving relationship!! Bravo for following through and setting hope and promising options for others
This is so ideal! If I ever find myself in a relationship again, this is a great way to be close & still independent. I hope they love Oregon as much as I have living here my entire life...I think they've got s good thing going 🌲🌊❤
Absolutely!
Wow now this couple has the right idea, they're actually paying less rent monthly for two tiny's then if they were to live in an apartment somewhere else. They're living the life and so they should. More power to them.🙏🏽😊
This is Ryk: Many thanks!
If that's "less" rent, then I sure as the world wouldn't want to live wherever they are! I have a beautiful two bedroom apartment in a sweet tiny city in the Midwest, live alone (after two disastrous "marriages"), and pay only 1/5 the rent they pay there. I don't have to take care of the outside, and if anything goes wrong inside, I call the maintenance crew and they take care of it.
I do like that couple's idea, and I do like their homes, but not such terribly expensive rent!
@@jb6712 That's pretty much the national average, so I hope you're aware that you live in a rental market that's one of the most affordable in the country and enjoy having the extra spending money that most don't have.
I love that he has his man's cave and she has her she shed. Excellent idea.
Love that they’re doing what works best for them and not based on cultural standards ☺️✨
is it just me, or do they seem like the nicest, most chill couples ever?
This is so ideal for older folks getting together later in life. It's harder to combine when you're older. This would be ideal for me, but I would want our own property on adjacent lots that we own.
I have concerns of moving into someone else's property... If he dies before me, would his offspring contest the homesite and me getting kicked to the curb. This way, I'd have my own house with no worries of being left homeless. Hopefully, we both live to be 100 and healthy.
My husband and I have been married for 50 years, I can see where this would be beneficial. I have my hobbies and interests and my husband has his, but I'm organized and he IS NOT, so this makes it VERY difficult for me. I constantly feel pressured to try to keep him organized because he's constantly looking for things and accusing me of hiding it. I can't stand the mess. Separate BUT together would be perfect. Great idea.
This is just bloody brilliant - I reckon that every couple of any age who has the possibility of living separately but together should do it. It's incredibly beneficial to the relationship and one's individual mental well-being. I love this arrangement they've got going...
We are a young couple but we have separate rooms. He goes to bed early and gets up early and I like to stay up late and we can do our hobbies in our rooms. It sounds weird but it works great having our very own spaces and then everything else is shared.
Loved his space. It's fabulous. Very talented guy
Love that Magic has her own areas!!
LET ME SAY THIS COUPLE IS SO GREAT!!!
They definitely have the rt now figured out!
I absolutely love this
Plus I wish she would reply I need to know more about them oils❤❤❤❤
I love the Mount Hood area!!! After 35 years together, my hubby & i would definitely need separate homes!!! (Plus 2 more rooms for all our projects!!!)
My brother and sister-in-luv's live across the river in White Salmon.
I’ve been saying this for years. IF I get married, I want my own room at the very least. This is an amazing option.
I love the husband home and the custom cabinet ware.
what couple wouldn't love this set up that keep your relationship so fresh ... perfect👌
My male best friend and I wanted to do this, we ranked about it for years but he had to take care of his mom. Unfortunately shortly after his mom died and before he could retire a severe medical issue resulted in his having to live in a long term medical care facility. We used to dream of having 2 tiny homes connected by breezeways to a building in between them to serve as a kitchen, family room, a guest bedroom area and a bathroom. If we both sold our properties we could've done it. The mid section was for when family visited or could've served as an airbnb when not in use by visitors. I still think it was a good idea. I have to help my 89 year old mom now, don't know what's going to happen. I'm not free to move. I still dream of tiny house living in the country but close to a town. I want chickens and a garden. I'm happy for this couple and I think separate homes with shared spaces is a great idea!
We hope you get to do it one day ❤️
Don’t give up your dream. I am 80, live in a cabin I built myself, grow all my own food, and am off grid. Been living like this for 60 years. It’s wonderful.
They're both such characters and their homes are perfect for them. He's done an amazing job setting up his space and I love seeing how they use both homes together
Thank you for watching!❤
Together but living apart is the way to go. The happiest couples I know have separate homes/condos and go back and forth. I love the side by side tiny homes idea.
@Jim Q. Starr Bonjour.
His & Her's ....simply Gorgeous and beautiful and amazing 🤩😍
I love Ryk's tiny home! The style and the decor is sooo nice and clean. They really seem like a nice fun couple, I would like to be their friends.
They're lovely!
This couple is quite happy, I love their attitude. Their homes are very nice, the man cave house has a sophisticated decor, the wall of artwork that separates the kitchen from the office is superb, love love love. I like their approach to make their homes practical, having a place to land when coming in and to store the clothes seems to lack in several tiny homes.
Yes💕
I love the spiritual vibe & art of her house and living next door to your partner is brilliant.
"Spiritual" vibe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Apart from having a bit more expenses, this double tiny for a couple looks close to perfect. Nobody has to sacrifice anything in terms of space, independence, design, hobbies and quirks. I suspect a much better set up for, like they say, mature couples, who have passed the lovey dovey stage in their relationships. Yet it allows them companionship and the closeness of someone they trust, and enjoy spending a lot of peaceful and quality time with. Another plus point is if one is a snorer, you can even sleep separately!
Love both the tinys but am slightly more biased to the husband's space. Industrial and sleek yet feels mystical with his quirky collections, love it!
Wishing them many many years of independent togetherness ❤️❤️❤️
Great points! 😊
This couple has the right idea!!!
I have loved the husband's tiny house more..It's really beautiful..
This is a little paradise. I adore the whole set up. And they are the cutest couple ever.
What an awesome idea!!! By the time someone is 'older' and has been living alone for several years, they're also fairly set in their ways and how they like things to be. You two have what I consider a perfect solution - a total WIN/WIN situation. Congratulations and many, many years of happiness together in your lovely homes.
Absolutely!!
This couple couldn’t be any sweeter or more perfect for each other! Loved everything about their lifestyle, their choice in design & decor. Thanks you guys for sharing your lives with us❤️🙏❤️
This couple is actually so cute. I love it ❤😊😅
I love them. Shade is important. All that is missing is a pool.
These two are sooo adorable! What a perfect solution for independent people who love each. I could so do a marriage like this. How fun!
Their houses are gorgeous and radiating positive energy
Thank you! 😊
This couple has the perfect solution to aging together. Both spaces are comfy and artistic. I liked how one of the houses can be used when there is company. I do think about aging in place and having a bed or recliner accessible if someone has surgery is something to consider. Just loved their houses, adventurous spirits, and location.
They're such an adorable couple! I LOVE how he looks at her!❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Ok that's so cute that he vowed to always make her coffee
This couple has a beautiful set up without giving up their independence and ability to express themselves individually. They are both beautiful and full of character and charm. I guess I’m a little envious. :-)
This way of living appeals to me big time. If I ever marry again this is how I want to do it. U have your own identity yet are very much together
The ideal living setup is for each person to have their own self-contained space. Regardless of the situation.. conventional family, a couple...platonic or intimate relationship..we all , at some time need time to ourselves .... be it for a few hours or a few days.
All relationships will benefit when that privacy is respected.
What a beautiful couple with beautiful homes!!
I LOVE how different their houses are, each has so much personality. There's things I like about each, but overall I think I'd prefer to live in his house.
I love his kitchen and the fact he basically has his own wine cellar 😂. I love that she has a dedicated creative space whilst he has a dedicated office space. If I got married I would love a set up like this.
I love his tiny house ! I cried it’s so beautiful. I fell in love with tiny houses in 2010. I had become disabled and I had to give up my career. I was very depressed so my husband brought an iPad home to me one day. I found youtube and tiny homes. It’s changed my life. It gave me hope. We did purchase a property 12 acres and converted a shed cabin. But we don’t live in it. We settled in a very small country town in a typical 3 bed 2 baths after selling our big suburban home. Currently we are transforming our back yard. It’s completely tropical. Big pool with a deck. A hot tub deck. Soon the back porch will be a sunroom. And the carport will be enclosed it will be huge office for my husband. I’m not sure if we will stay here. Although I love the things my husband has built. We might move to Florida where our youngest lives. If we do that we will sale both properties and give that a try. But honestly I’m comfortable. And if we lived in the shed cabin I would be happy there too. Life is a journey. Enjoy where you are on that journey. Thank you so much for sharing! Leslye
My husband and I are approaching our retirement years. So we're preparing ahead of time. We sold our home which we were still under water in, and bought a mobile home free and clear. He then stripped the interior and we , well, he rebuilt it the way we wanted our retirement home to be. It turned out gorgeous! Never seen one like it before. Now we're free and clear of a mortgage in our retirement home, paying under $750 a month for lot rental, gas, light,water, cable,insurance, etc... Cars are all paid off too!
Congratulations!!
Talk about living the good life! This couple has found that golden key to true love and utter happiness❤️ Beautiful life, Beautiful couple, Beautiful homes❤️
Thank you very much!
He is lucky to have such a lovely wife.
Both have their own separate spaces?? These 2 are gonna be together FOREVERRRRR!!!!
we plan on it!😊
Everyone talking about the couple but really there houses are beautiful and that outdoor setup is perfect.
Good Morning to Magic, he's so lovingly beautiful! I love your holistic vibe, it is so refreshing and relaxed!
Great idea to have two tiny homes right next to each other. Time together and time apart! Fantastic!
I loooovvvveee this idea! I've always said I wouldn't mind living separately from my spouse🤷🏾♀️😊
2 living spaces is always going to be better, 2 van conversions 2 trailers or 2 tiny houses doing it this way is so much better for so many reasons
That's so ideal for couples!! No more fights for what's mine, yours, and who gets to say over what, or the problems that come from needing your own space. I want this!!
I could have never imagined how the husband's tiny home would be on the inside but it was beautifully appointed with his works of art and collectibles that he valued. I loved his choice of design of the space and also how he organized the kitchen and bathroom. The office table was so unique and he thought of everything he wanted to feel he had enough space to live in and still connect with his wife/partner. As a woman myself, I assumed I would have been more attracted to the way a women's decor, design, colors and functionality would be but I found her space too cluttered and I didn't like the open stairs to the loft. The husband's house was way more attractive, functional and style of what I would love for myself. They both had their own styles and instead of compromising and giving up what they love, I see their situation a perfect solution. They are connected, have what they each love and the style they want. Also to my big surprise, the husband's Tony house was way more organized and really neat and tidy, especially the kitchens. This is the perfect couple enjoying their lives together separately with room to breathe and keep their individual styles. I would definitely do this and have a separate tiny house next to one another with my husband if we ever considered tiny house living. I also think married couples who are retired need their own space to do their hobbies and have a place to call their own. They can spend as much or as little time as they want.
I agree. I would definitely do his design
I LOVE Ryk's tiny home. I could live there easily. Living arrangement is wonderful. Happy couple!
Living my Dreams, married with own tiny houses.
Yes you have your comfort and privacy outside, nice.
