    Hope you enjoy the tour of Shorty’s now full-time tiny home, “Nawaka”. While it highlights 19th century Florida pioneer cabin life, it's full of cleverly tucked away modern conveniences, like A/C, a solar generator and a TV. The most ingenious (and historically accurate!) feature is Shorty’s piano bed! Please like, comment & sub.🙏 New videos Tuesdays & Thursdays at 3:30pm EST.

    Absolutely, without a doubt, THE BEST tiny house! So freakin clever. The whole time i kept thinking what a waste of space with that piano in such a small space...then when she opened it, i died! I LOVE everything about this.

    I love the lanterns that you can raise and lower. So cool! I’ve been sewing since I was a young girl. I’m now 58. I love your antique sewing machine. What a great way to hide the TV. When we bought our house there was an old iron that looks a lot yours laying in the flower bed. Ours is rusted but it’s still cool. My husband just died on 12/29/2020. This four bedroom house is way too big for just me. I’m serious thinking of a tiny house. All the Victorian ones I see are two level. I’m disabled so I can’t do stairs. Oh my gosh I was not expecting the piano to turn into a bed. This style would work for me. Thanks so much for sharing

    She is adorable, just like her home. Reminds me of my first house. I owned a Victorian, built in 1888, complete with a huge turret & several antiques and paintings. We loved it but located on a busy road and just not a good mix with young kids so we moved. We really miss it. Truly a unique experience to have lived there.

    I love this. Usually when we see people having unconventional living themes, historical or otherwise, you can tell that they're really detached from reality and sacrifice their personal comfort to be accurate to the lifestyle. This lady however, is not in denial that she's in the modern world and does not sacrifice comfort for authenticity. She doesn't scorn technology and instead combines it with her period themed home. She's amazing and I wish I could visit her lovely home
