Retired Woman helps to build her own Affordable Tiny House - so cute!

- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Meet Cheryl, a joyful retiree who's been living in her cute tiny house for 7 years in 2 tiny home communities. While only 13 sqm / 140 sqft, she adores living in her tiny home with a downstairs bed--fully maximized with clever storage solutions. The only way she could afford it was to do a DIY build, but that came with steep challenges. Fortunately, Incredible Tiny Homes had an amazing workshop offer. They would build an affordable tiny house shell, and then they'd provide mentoring for you & friends to come finish as much as possible in a week. Now, Cheryl is living her best retirement life with friends at The Bird's Nest Tiny Home & RV Community.

I not only love her tiny house but I love Cheryl’s outlook on life.What a joyful woman
❤❤❤ Cheryl is the best she adds to our community at The Bird’s Nest big time
I have a pretty good life here at The Bird’s Nest. Good neighbors who put up with my foolishness and keep me entertained!
@@cherylhuff1914I'm so glad your content in your little school house! 🏡 ❤
She was so thoughtful about everything she had installed. This woman was probably a wonderful teacher.
I do love a challenge and that came in handy when I was teaching!
Finally a homeowner who brought/uses her sewing machine! You CAN go tiny & keep quilting or sewing! Yea!!
I got a 1950 Featherweight a few months ago and I love it so much! Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t sew in a tiny house. 🧵
What a sweet lady and it's so obvious that she has the perfect temperament for a teacher. Her house is adorable and just right.
I love having a house that is just right for me!
Sweetheart -
What a sweet lady 🙏🏻❤️
She is the sweetest!
I agree
Thank you for your kind words. I have good neighbors here in The Bird’s Nest community and we spend a lot of time laughing.
This is about the longest I’ve heard of someone living in a tiny house of this size. Kudos to Cheryl for making it work for her lifestyle.
I don’t deserve kudos. 😉 My house is just the right size for me so I don’t feel like I’m making a sacrifice. It feels like home.
@@cherylhuff1914 Yes! You know when it is just the right house. When I viewed my current house it was exactly what I wanted and I immediately made an offer - and the owner accepted it on the spot (they were there).
I love her & her tiny house!! I could easily live there!! It is so cute, custom & perfect!! God bless her & her son!! ❤🙏🏻♥️
I’m very lucky to have such a good son!
Amazing story from Cheryl on how her home was built and her son's generous involvement. Her home is not too big or too small, but just right for her. I do like how there is space around her home for an outdoor area, not just rows and rows of tiny homes. Thanks for posting Cheryl's tiny home and thanks to Cheryl for sharing her story.
You are most welcome! It was a joy to work with Cheryl and film at The Bird's Nest (community tour coming soon!) ☺️❤️
We have so much space between our homes it is great not to be on top of your neighbors. We have to be our selves out here.
@@TinyHouseExpedition Looking forward to it.
Cheryl is such a delight! Truly happy, content, industrious,organized, productive, sweet and joyous! We all could learn much from her.
Thank you for this tour but most of all for introducing us to this lovely and warm lady who knows what she needs and wants, plus appears to be living her best life!
-Cheryl, I commend you and wish you continued blessings with every need met!
Oh! I forgot to add…
LOVE. that it seems you are painting everything bright white…. As I highly approve!
What an awesome lady. I'ld love to have her for a neighbor.
Ditto! ☺️
She has been my neighbor for 8 years. We met at Tiny Lots on the Prairie and I was so happy she decided to move with me to The Bird’s Nest♥️🍄
@@thebirdsnest2157 from neighbors to besties?! 💃🪩💃
@@TinyHouseExpeditionMore like partners in crime!😂
❤
What a precious little house! It looks like it was built in the 1930's. Such a sweet lady.
I used to have a lot more things from the 30s’s but I really had to pare down my collection!
What a lovely woman. She has a very good relationship with her son and I love seeing her be so happy and grateful for his help when she needed a loan until her house sold. She so creative, too! I wouldn't have thought of recreating the stain glass windows on paper! It really did add a lot of charm to the house!
This time of year is the only time you can see the shades this well. The Bird’s Nest has giant sunflowers everywhere and they surround my house!
This sweet Lady is as Adorable as her Tiny! 😍 I met Cheryl at a Tiny House Show 8 years ago! We sat next to each other and little did we know - GOD created an Amazing Tiny friendship! She is a tiny Genius 😁 The Birds Nest is an Awesome Homestead-Tiny Village! It's an enjoyable space on a wonderful property! The residence are all one BIG 💕 happy community 🪺 Cheryl you ROCK! 💪🏾
We were both wanting a tiny house but not sure how to make it happen. And here we are now, still friends, and in our own tiny houses! I still hope that we’ll be neighbors one day. 😉
@@cherylhuff1914
"It's only been 6 years... and I'll get to it." You are a lady after my own heart. Nice home. 😊
I’m better at starting than finishing - and I’m not all that good at starting! 😉
I like all of the knickknacks she has. So many tiny houses look sterile and unlived-in. This one looks like a home.
So true! 💕
You should see how she does Christmas 🎄 its magical
I’ve never had a problem with making my home looked lived in.😅 I obviously live by my motto “If you’re not happy, lower your standards.”
@@cherylhuff1914Agree 💯 % !!!
If you could sleep and craft at the same time, you would wake up with some wonderful creations. 😅
Omgh; she’s the sweetest!
💯✨
Thank you for your kind words. I don’t even like having my picture taken but Tiny House Expedition did such a good job!
Lovely woman and the house is charming
Thank you! I do love my house!😊
So charming! The lady and the tiny house.
Thank you! I love my tiny house.
You show what it's really like living in a tiny house! This is the first video I've seen that didn't have the tiny home looking pristine, uncluttered , magazine spread fake looking.
Awe ❤ Cheryl is the sweetest lady ❤ The children were very lucky to have Cheryl be their teacher ❤ Chery has the cutest house and is blessed to enjoy everything everyday 💯
I am so fortunate to have my house and I try never to forget that!
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉OMG precious -now that was made in America!!!!!!!
I love your Tiny House. You look so happy, and that is so important. Big isn't better. Your Son sounds like a beautiful soul. You are blessed. Thanks for the tour, and God Bless you.
Heather from, Ontario, Canada
You’re so welcome! I’ve been very happy at The Bird’s Nest and I love my tiny house. 😊
What an adorable lady !! She pats her home. I tell mine how much i love her 😂. I rarely wish to go anywhere as i just simply ADORE our home.
I always think I’ll run a bunch of errands when I go into town but I end up just going home!
It’s nice to know there are people who have love affairs with their homes. I have acquaintances who look at me sideways because I love my home so much.
@@avalon1108Those people are missing out!
This was so sweet, her happiness is contagious. What a beautiful person she is.
Thank you. My tiny house makes me so happy!
I absolutely love that people said they would never get a big sink like that & said I like it, I'm gettin it!!!! Best response ever!!!! It's your space, you do it how YOU want!!❤❤❤
I know that if I love something, I will find a way to make it work!
I agree that a big sink is a necessity!
Lovely. I retired at 62 and now I’m 65 and was a teacher also. Enjoy you retirement and you beautiful tiny home. Oh and by the way I just purchased a tiny home last year just waiting on it to be builded. So thankful to God for that. Have a beautiful day and thanks for sharing.
I hope you enjoy your retirement and your tiny house. There’s a whole world out there!
I love her story. She really thought it out and she got what she wanted. What an inspiration
I had a lot of help! And my neighbors continue to help and to inspire me.
What a totally enjoyable video. I can relate so much with Cheryl!!! The stuff was stifling me too after my husband passed. I still have more downsizing to do and went from a multilevel 2800sq ft home to a Casita trailer to a condo and now waiting for Incredible Tiny Homes to complete building my Woody tiny house on wheels!!! Tiny feels very comfortable and comforting. Less time taking care of stuff and more time growing and being. More is less.
Enjoy your life Cheryl...
Loved this episode and this lady! She’s living her life in a way that’s realistic for her and loving it. There is a lesson here to be learned. I will be 65 this year and certainly know about limitations that effect my ability to get things done. I live in a really small A frame cabin and have loved it while so many giggle or simply wonder how I do it. Keep life simple. Glad she has a good relationship with her son. I never had children but know people who are estranged from theirs. It warms my heart when I see someone with a close family relationship. I was close to my parents and there is nothing like that bond. Great show. Brought tears to my eyes this one did. ❤
I’m glad you’re providing entertainment for those around you. It’s a gift you and I share. 😂
I love the red door. It has real character as well as a pop of color outside. Very welcoming. Love the inside, too.
Red makes me happy!
She made the best decision that she could have for herself and makes it perfect for the life she wants perfectly content good for her
Living tiny isn’t for everyone but it’s perfect for me!
I love her stained glass front window it’s so cute!!!
You have everything you need. Keep loving life 💞🌷
Charming lady with an inspiring story. One thing occurred; could she maybe get a little garden shed to store all her craft stuff and creat a little more space inside? May she have many happy years in her Tiny and may she have endless supplies of Guinness to enjoy there too!
Cheers to that! 🍻
I have neighbors here at The Bird’s Nest who would be driven crazy living in a house with all the “clutter” but I like having everything within reach when the urge strikes!
I do have 2 lofts for the craft overflow and if I run out of space, it’s time for another downsizing. 😉
@cherylhuff1914 I love the way you thong Cheryl ! I currently live in a little 2 bedroom cottage built in 1904. I'll be 67 in April, have physical challenges and I think more everyday that I still have too much stuff. I need a smaller space like we yours and downsize even more !! So love you tiny home !! Hugs !
Sweet, sweet Cheryl ♥️
Thank you. My home makes me very happy!
First, love this Chanel ! , this lady and this home are exceptional , I think she is so quietly brilliant , the design and layout are so well thought out and to her specifications. I have watched an innumerable amount of tiny home videos but amazingly this one stands out. Thank you for sharing your home🌼
I had a lot of time to plan and a lot of experience living in places that didn’t work for me. I feel so fortunate to have had that pay off in a house that is just right!
This is the most well thought out tiny home build I have ever come across. Thank you Cheryl for the tips and inspiration. Many happy and joyful years to you.
I’m so happy for you, and I sew also, so I’m so glad you have a place for your machine 😊😊
Cheryl, how adorable and so functioning for you. When we embark on such a journey, you have to take everything into consideration. No mistakes! Great job!😊 Yes! China.. every girl needs a few special pieces. Your micro is retro looking and so adorable!
And now Andy and Amanda are in Vegas at the Super Bowl, hosted by Lowe's. ITH has come a long, long way!❤
This house is adorable!
I love how you painted the blinds to match your stained window!
Lovely home!!❤
I wish I could craft in my sleep! Adorable house
That’s what staying up all night is for!😂 I’ve always been a night owl so I’m the unofficial night watchman at The Bird’s Nest.
You are an absolute sweetheart. God bless you always. 😊
I love that she pats her wall. High five her cute little home
It’s been 7 years and I’m still loving my tiny house!
Love Cheryl & her tiny home !!!
Love this! Adorable! So great she uses her deck, it’s like adding another room to her house!
We call the pallet next to the pad “the annex!”
BLESSINGS to you Ms Cheryl for sharing your lovely story. May you continue to have JOY in your Home & Community!!😊⭐👑
Cannot wait❤❤❤❤
What are you waiting for???
The layout of the Tiny House so great.
I had a lot of time to plan and then it all happened so fast!
I loved so much her soul ❤
Thank you! Having a simpler life surrounded by people at The Bird’s Nest who also value that helps me to be a better version of myself. And we have a lot of fun!
@@cherylhuff1914 ❤️
Life lesson! 😊 What a great lady. What lucky children who were taught by her. I need to watch this every day to feel inspired. Obviously her kindness has been inherited by her son. I wish we had these in Spain.
Thank You for sharing your house Cheryl it is really nice and practical. The birds nest is such a nice community for women. The small 🏠🏡🏠 communities that are made by people living tiny are best ones.
Tiny living is a way for people to live a good life at a much lower income.
It does seem that focus who live tiny or just live tiny do create really wonderful tiny home communities 💗
I love my tiny house neighbors!
Thanks for Sharing this Video. God bless. ❤❤❤
Love this lady! Rock on Mama!
What a lovely woman!
Thank you for your kind words. 😊
Would love to come and live with y’all, seems like you’re my kind of folks, …..loving and kind and empowering women. Right on !
Love Incredible tiny homes ❤
What a fascinating story that Cheryl shared and she is a delightful person! Her home is sweet and cozy and her organization is wonderful. I like her heart pillows and her pie slices bunting. She did a great job downsizing. I love her tiny house but I would need some trees and foliage near it if it was mine. Couldn't stand the sun beating down all around my home and I'd want the privacy that landscaping would provide. Her happiness can't be denied and I'm happy for her. TFS her story!
You are so welcome!💕❤️
Nature knows best. There are trees along the creek bed and a giant oak up by the gully because those are the places they get enough water.
I wish you could see this place when it’s not winter, though. My house is surrounded by giant sunflowers that block the worst of the sun for most of the year and I specifically chose a white roof to help with that, too.
I’m definitely a tree-hugger😉, but I’ve learned to appreciate the habitats that grasslands provide, too.
The only word for *everything* about this video is *LOVE!*
🙌💕
Beautiful home, delightful lady.
Sweet lady, sweet house!
Thank you! 🥰
What a great story! Love the house. Cheryl & her son share a wonderful connection.
I think he’s the best!
What a sweet woman and story.
Thank you. I know how lucky I am!
I Love your Home, it's Beautiful actually, and Sooo Peaceful! I am Happy for you, God Is Sooo Good, God Bless You Always!🏡
❤️
SHE SEEMS GENUINELY HAPPY🌻 I LOVE THAT THERE IS A 🛀🏽 #SimpleLiving #Minimalist
Old bones need soaking at the end of the day! And there’s always some kind of outside project going on at The Bird’s Nest so sometimes I have several layers of East Texas dirt (caked in sweat) to soak off. 😂
Enjoy!
Love her home and her life seems happy❤
Sooooo happy!🥰
Love the microwave ❤
Isn't darling?! Love retro-looking appliances 😍
Me, too! I love the look of the 30’s and 40’s but I appreciate the conveniences we have today 😉
What a sweet lady and she has her home just a the way she wants it. She uses every inch of it, I would have to have a little bigger home because I would get the closed in feeling but she loves her home and that’s great.She has a sweet son too!
What a beautiful story. It just goes to show that we can live, thrive, and be happy with just the minimum amount of “stuff”.
Being 6’ I couldn’t agree more: design your space to your size. And she did an excellent job! And glad she did keep that beautiful pitcher.
Tiny houses can be as unique as their owners. I’d love to see your ideas for a tall tiny house!
I like the little house it's compact but it has everything that she needs
Compact - I like the sound of that!😂
Your home is so sweet. You made use of all your space. You seem so happy and that what really matters.
I am so happy in my tiny and I wish that for everyone!
I love her tiny home! It is perfect for one person. I could easily live in that small space.
It’s not for everyone but I love living in a tiny!
She is so Amazing 💓🥰!!!! -She has such a great spirit.
The stained glass beauty!🥰
I love those windows, too!
isn’t ❤she the sweetest lady !
Thank you!🥰
What a cozy home!
So cute.Looks like a happy place to live.😊
The stained glass window is beautiful❤ That's the coolest microwave ever
You shouldbe a teacher!!! Your voice is soothing and you explain things well. I kinda love you lady lolol. Xo❤💛💚
I really liked being a teacher. But I love retirement, too!
She's so lovely
I love her and her tiny home, she is a real winner, God bless you🙏❤️❤️🙏
Thank you. I feel very fortunate to have my tiny home!
3/16/24...JUST HER STYLE + DESIGN! WHAT AN INTERESTING STORY!
Tiny home people always seem like they’d be good friends to have.
💯☺️❤️ so many wonderful down to earth, resourceful, kind & fun folks
I agree! Tiny house people are the best!
Randy Jones is absolutely amazing!
❤ WHAT A LOVELY LADY LIVING IN HER BEAUTIFUL TINY HOME ...THANKS FOR SHARING ❤..
I knew I could count on Tiny House Expedition to make me look good! I’m not that good at complete sentences!
She is precious!
Thank you! I’m sure you can tell that I’m not comfortable in front of a camera but your kind words make it easier.
What a lovely gal...
I recall seeing her story elsewhere and I loved her TH then, and still love it now. She is as adorable as her home is. SO cozy and how lovely after all the years she supported her son he was able to help her out when she needed it. I love the Turkey! Turkeys are such cool animals.
🙌🦃✨💖
We are all fascinated by the turkey!
Beautiful lady congratulations ❤
Thank you. I feel very lucky!
Lovely little lady!! And. funny ...
What a lovely woman! She has such a positive outlook on life. I like the way she's designed the interior just to fit herself. She has all she needs.
🙌💯❣️
I love nursing and don't care what religion you are,I help ❤ is my passion and joy
My favorite tiny house.
Mine, too! 😉
Congratulations and your life is perfect!
It’s perfect for me!
She is just delightful!
You are a lovely person! Enjoy!
Thank you for those kind words. 😊
It sounds like all that thinking and planning in advance made for a wonderful house designed perfectly for Cheryl. Bless Randy Jones at Incredible Tiny Homes for all the people whose lives he's transforming!!
I wanted a tiny house years before I was able to go tiny so I tried to channel all that energy into researching and planning. By the time I had the opportunity, I knew exactly what I needed!
@@cherylhuff1914 That was very sensible! And it paid off! 😊
