She Started With Only $3000 And Built This Incredible Tiny House!
Вставка

- In this weeks episode we meet an inspiring young woman who started with only $3000 and built an incredible tiny house for herself. You never know what you can accomplish until you try and that’s exactly what Sophie discovered when she set out to construct her dream DIY tiny house.
This is a tiny home that has been beautifully crafted with love and creativity. To keep costs down, many of the items in this house have been pre-loved and up-cycled which helps to give the house a real sense of character.
Now parked up on a dream spot in Byron Bay, Queensland, this home is surrounded by beautiful permaculture gardens and is totally off-grid, capturing rain water and with a good sized solar set-up. Sophie has all she needs in her little house.
This tiny house project has also enabled Sophie to create a workshop space in her home, where she now weaves her own beautiful textiles on a vintage loom. You can find out more about her artistic work via her website: scribblygumwea...
We hope you enjoy the tour of this remarkable tiny house and meeting the wonderful woman who built it. You can also find Sophie on Instagram: / scribblygum_weavings

This handcrafted tiny house is a work of art. I really love stories like this one. For those who decide to take on the journey of building their own homes with no prior experience, often, it's one of the most difficult things they will ever do. It's often also one of the most rewarding. Sophie's story is a wonderful example of what is possible. We hope you enjoy this episode! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
I look forward to your shows...they are awesome
You are the best because your videos have many good ideas.... thank you
These fantastic episodes you and your crew continually churn out...they are like Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I savor them to its sweet core and the wondrous life and possibilities they capture and inspire! ❤
Lol 😆 thank you for adding the conversions for this "slow" American. It's appreciated!!!

I love how every bit of this house is exactly to Sophie's preference. This tiny house is not trying to be anything else but exactly what she wants. Love that for her!
Yes well said
You’re so pretty 😍
This. 💜💜💜
One of the most inspiring things in life is seeing other people's dreams come true. So happy for this woman!
Absolutely man 🎉❤
I love how interactions with other people can change the direction of our lives. That person at the school who offered to let Sophie live on their land really made a huge impact on her life. Sophie’s hard work is to be commended. I wish her all the best as she grows her gardens and her business!
Hi Dawn,
Thank you for your well wishes. Sophie
As a spinner, weaver (my loom is also a Saori) and knitter myself it is such a joy to see this home. Everything about it is warm, inviting and peaceful. What an inspiration Sophie is.
I used to sell handmade area rugs from around the world, as well as NZ wool carpet. Just loved the beautiful dyed yarns, linen curtains, and the Blue/Green pallette with all the wood. Seemed quite like home.
As a Sniper, same
Agreed! I only dabble in fiber arts but what she’s created here is impressive. Wheels can be quite compact, especially if you get an e-spinner, but the fact that she has room for any kind of loom other than a small tapestry or backstrap loom is incredible.
How thrilling to click on this video, as I do everytime you drop one, and to find it is actually someone I know. This wonderful woman was my granddaughter's teacher and I was always keen on hearing about how her tiny house build was going. So lovely to see it completed. Sophie, you have created an exquisite, soul-filled dwelling that echos your love of nature and beauty. Absolutely love it. Very inspiring. 💖
How lovely that you have that connection! It truly is a lovely home on every level!
'It's a small world' as they say. What a lovely connection. And yes, this home is all this and more...
Haha! I thought that kind of thing was only that prevalent where I live and grew up, we're not a big city, but everyone knows everyone and even if you move away you run into people who are like the older sibling of your schoolmate. I love things like that!
@@lapislazarus8899 We bump into people we know/knew in the unlikeliest of places... in ways that we couldn't possibly have contrived ourselves! Also those we fall in love with and end up living with/marrying.
Hi Gael, Nice to see you here and thank you for your message :)
See you around the shire some time 🌟
The hammock, loom, color palette, and Bryce’s hair were such exquisite parts of this episode:)
🤣 😂
Whats wrong with Bryce's hair?
@@englishwoman7697 I think you misread his post... he said Bryce's hair is exquisite, and I laughed because I think a majority of us agree!
My thoughts exactly 🙃☺️
Appreciated seeing someone living in their house while they finish it, as that's how I plan to afford mine. It's also refreshing to hear a story other than "my parents had land and let me park here" since for so many of us that is not an option. Thank you for your inspiring videos!
My respects go to her for kicking the system in the teeth and building her own house. She has financial freedom, as opposed to being buried under debts and not able to get off the economical treadmill system. It was worth her effort. 💖
Watching my first Living Big from the bed of my tiny home, and it being another woman who did it by herself, perfection. Love your home and what you created, well done! ❤
That's so exciting! Congratulations on your own tiny house!
When will we see you in here? Don’t forget to mention this too
That is exciting. How lovely. I remember watching these videos in bed every Saturday morning way back before I built mine. It's a thing!
@@sophie_marino it’s such a thing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@candyjamaican if I ever finish 😅😅😅
This house wins from any commercial made tiny house. The personal character makes this such a beautiful house. Perfectly done madam :)
Thank you.
I just love it when owners use all that beautiful, reclaimed wood. You did a wonderful job incorporating all that wood into your build. And all the hard work you've put in as a whole. Just such a cozy, warm nest of a home. You should be very, very proud.
What a fascinating woman and wonderful off grid home. I'll go put the kettle on and sit down in front of the fire for this one. Hope you are enjoying your spring guys!
Hey Andy! Sounds like a great plan mate. Enjoy your coffee and your warm fire!
I can't even describe how much I love Sophie's home. I felt my whole body relax just seeing her home and imagining being in it. Sophie means wisdom; indeed she is aptly named.
Hello
Bryce: That last drone shot as the camera was pulling away gave this tiny house and the scenery a fairytale painting at the last page of a storybook feel. There was a scene of Sophie sitting outside weaving on her loom that added credence to the magical fantasy feel of the setting. Sophie is living inside the world of Grimm’s Fairy Tales. ❤Diane, Vancouver, Canada. SaNO05/22. 10:38 pm
One of my favourites so far! I love how her personal style matches her home. It feels really warm and beautiful.
It's refreshing to see someone thrive in a non-tech environment. So hard to escape "the world" these days and she's done it.
🙏
Such a cozy home full of artistic touches as well as weaving crafts. I love the woodwork, re-purposed ladders, stained glass window, and aesthetics of the space. It certainly embraces you in a warm hug whenever you come home. Thanks for sharing. Jenny USA
Love how Sophie is living her values.....an awesome tiny house.
Sophie was absolutely delightful. I love her free spirited aura. She has created such a glorious place. Not only her home but her studio as well. I loved all the different woods, fabrics and textiles that she is created what a talented little powerhouse. Also loved her family‘s belongings in there as well. Everything had purpose and meaning. I loved it. Thank you Bryce as always love from California🤟🏻🇺🇸😎💜
Hello Liz how are you doing today
The bucket loo is a stage too far for me, but otherwise, I could move into this house and not change a thing! Space for books, crafts and plants, all that beautiful wood, the lovely blue shades and that stunning stained glass window. This is perfection! (It just needs a composting loo and I'm moving in 😄)
The bucket loo actually isn't that bad. I was worried about it at first, but stayed with Soph for a week and got used to it pretty quickly. It's amazing how adaptable us humans are 😊😊
I totally agree! Her home is lovely, but could never go for her “toilet system!”
I absolutely agree, the house is gorgeous. However, there is no way I'd be using a bucket, especially for 3 YEARS! What does she do with the waste? You can't just dig holes and dump it, in most places that is illegal. Even if it isn't you can pollute nearby streams or underground fresh water, and people use that water for drinking, bathing, etc.
If she had a proper outhouse built or was composting legally that would be one thing, but after 3 years what does she do with it all?? Do the people that own the land know what she's doing? I wish she had said more than pointing to a bucket, because it makes me wonder if she's digging holes randomly or something.
@@antmarino1 you've stayed there? That's is really cool! What does she do to dispose of waste?
@@antmarino1 it's not a composting/bucket "toilet" that would bother me, rather it is how low the sitting position is....and small surface area(no seat) for sitting. Haven't seen one that looks comfortable.
Woah that’s my sister and I helped build that incredible house with her 💙 such an amazing time it was
Hey bro!
Hey bro! Love you!
A home built with love. A house of colour, texture, warmth and serenity. Everything about this beautiful tiny is representative of Sophie's lovely personality. Gorgeous setting, love the whole exterior set-up. Congratulations.
That home does indeed look like a giant hug. I love how tiny homes make it possible for people to get exactly what they want, be it modern, classic or eclectic. Thanks so much for showing us!
Was a teacher, and finished work at the end of last year... I hear you sister. 🙏🏻
Great tiny house, great spot. Love the fire.
It looks so peaceful and I love homes that reflect the owners and not just show pieces that are in at the time.
As I fiber artist myself I’m so excited to see someone who’s been able to incorporate their studio space work in a tiny house.
Thank you for sharing such a joyful home. ❤️ ❤️ the calming colors, the no-tech loft, the stained glass, loom and all that makes this home pure magic. Precious in every way.
I always admired how Bryce appreciate hardwork of every tiny home owner but in this story it reflects from all of his heart!!!! These days this thing is lacking, everyone wants credit but don't want to appreciate others hardwork, you are a wonderful human being Bryce!!!
Absolutely fabulous, in every way. Calm, beautiful, efficient home sweet home. Pure tiny house ethics going on here. Very best wishes to owner; big thank you to Bryce.
Thank you Emma.
Great home. Very serene & calming. Love all the textiles she used in decorating.
Thanks for showcasing many tiny homes, I am from India and tiny homes culture is not really in.. but I surely see it no farther and hopefully own one tiny home one day .. thanks Bryce .. keep sharing ..
I would love to see the tiny house movement grow in India. I’ve always wanted to visit and now that travel is opening up again it’s high on my list of places to find some stories to share. :)
Tiny homes here in India is kind of difficult especially tiny homes on trailers. Roads are messed up at least in my area. But yeah a static tiny house is doable.
@@DTechDive The roads are dusty as well as full of interesting pot holes and various travelers of all sorts if I remember rightly, lol… use the windshield wipers to clear the dust more than when it rains!
India is a lovely country.
@@louisegogel7973 I don't want to admit it but yeah it's true 😅
The huge tree that her home is nestled under is just magnificent.
Full time artist in a beautiful, self-built home. This is the tiny house dream. ❤🏡
I love everything about it except the bucket toilet system!
When I watch these videos and see the amount of creativity and craftmanship that many of them have (like the stained glass window and restored furniture in this one), I am amazed at what people can do when they formulate a vision and have the skill to make it live. Kudos to all who do it.
Thank you 🙏
Such a blessing to be able to handcraft your own home specifically to your own needs and likes.
My wife and I really enjoyed the calmness of this episode. As a hobbyist woodworker, I felt moved by shots of Sophie enjoying her passions in such a tranquil environment. Didn't Ghandi spin every day? Many thanks for a beautiful moment in a gorgeous space with lovely souls! Cheers from Sydney - Dave
It is incredible the amount of personal details that this house has, elements that tell about her family story and about herself. A beautiful Tiny House, simple and magical. Congratulations to Sophie on her great achievement.
Hello Sonia how are you doing today
Why do all the places featured in Australia have these super idyllic living spots? Just beautiful. That kitchen is perfect. I absolutely love this build and her idea of extending off the bathroom as well. Her bedroom space is so cozy, but I'd have to add a light up there for before-sleeping reading. The drying rack is something I'm going to keep in mind for my own TH!
Many people picture the harsh and endless desert of the outback when they think of Australia. But the truth is that most of the Australian coastline regions are beautiful and scenic. That said, I was lucky to grow up in the area surrounding Byron Bay where this tiny home is. This region is considered by many to be the most beautiful location in Australia (green rolling hills, sub-tropical forests, expansive white beaches etc), with an almost perfect climate of 10-30 C for 95% of the year.
Wow! Another inspiring and beautiful tiny home.Thanks Bryce again for sharing this wonderful and unique home. Keep safe and God bless
I loved the vibrant simplicity of the home!! She is so content and happy... No technology when you sleep is a very good idea.. Loved it all in total.. Loads of love to you and Sophies for sharing the tour with us...
Exactly how she needs it to be. And easy to alter if required. A constant work in progress and as living art as her cloth creations. A wonderful gorgeous home for a wonderful lady 💖
It is always a pleasure to be notified at this time of the day (3:31AM in Cebu City, PH) and take on another inspiration. Thanks Bryce for consecutively posting inspiring videos.
Sophie is a woman after my own heart! Having a space like this to weave and do other yarn arts is just my idea of perfection. I had to go snooping to find out what kind of loom that is! I think it might be exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, Sophie!
Beautiful home, so much uniquenesse made more special by the fact that it started with little more than a dream on a sheet of paper. She brought it to life with hard work and dedication. I’m saving my money so I can one day have a tiny home. I only wish I could build it myself….. very inspiring.
Really dig this one, well done Sophie! Thanks for another video Bryce and Rasa, we appreciate everything you do!
This home is too beautiful for words. It's perfection
Really a sanctuary! What a special person and home! I am most impressed by having a completely unplugged sleeping loft. I don't think I've ever seen that. Wow.
Indeed this is a darling home, I love that she is living in her studio and it really works beautifully...I love that it is a work in progress, thinking it out as she goes...nothing wrong with a bucket system when you are brave and resourceful...awesome weaving as well...
Bryce, I have been watching for years. I LOVE how genuine you are! You're such a great interviewer. Rasa, these shots & edits are such HIGH QUALITY. You are talented my girl!
👋,, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed day for you Emily?
LOVE this lady. She's living how many people I think will be living in the future very soon, which is a GREAT thing. Thanks for sharing!
This is such a Sweet, Gentle & Beautiful home. I love that Sophie has wrapped all her creativity and love into her space and the space outside looks happy for her to be there 🌳
Such a lovely, creative person and a Home with Heart ❤
Thank you so much Bryce & Rasa...you bring such joy and inspiration to us with your videos 🙏💞
Sophie you’ve created a magical home. Bravo. Your textiles are beautiful and I can’t wait to have a closer look at Scribblygum 💚
OMG, this is yet another superlative, Bryce. A characterful home in a stunning location.... Love the colour scheme, use of wood...
Blimey, they just keep coming. Another winner and kudos to Sophie for learning woodwork in order to bring her vision to life... One amazing lady.
She's so calm. Very impressed that she stuck it out and made her own home.
Absolutely stunning! Perfectly crafted to be homey, rustic, artistic....quite an accomplishment!
So pretty - and truly tiny at 20 ft still manages to feel really spacious.
Omg I love love love this woman and her setup, so cozy and unpretentious. Absolutely beautiful💗🌷🌺
WOW ! This piece really stirred emotion in me. Perhaps because i can sense and relate to Sophie's needs and EXTRAORDINARY accomplishment !
Actually, i can't relate to the accomplishment, because i can't imagine i'd be able to do something like that - particularly so much so by my own hands.
CONGRATULATIONS and HUGE respect and admiration of you Sophie !
AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AT THAT !!!
THANK YOU BRYCE & RASA !!!
Beautiful home… I was surprised you was not sitting in the hammock Bryce at the end of the interview! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful homes with us on UA-cam!
This home is beautiful 😍.... this is specifically done to her needs...the spinning wheel is absolutely gorgeous 😍....and it's your grandmother's which makes it so much more special...the view you have is spectacular...the outside bathroom is nice but I would want one inside as well... love the built-in day bed... lots of luck your home is gorgeous God Bless
7:00 when you find something you truly need on the side of the road for FREE, it’s the best feeling 😎
I just love her home and how she created it!! Thanks again!! It just gives me so much joy to watch these videos!!!!
This house is very cozy and unique and very well thought out by this lady. She is living life on her terms. I love it!!
Such a fantastic home. I love it a LOT. So warm and homey. Perfect, as is. Love her loom work also. The hammock makes her house so comfey, too.
and her name is sophie??? omg!! this tiny house gives me "Howls moving castle" vibes! so beautiful!
This tiny house is so beautiful! Be proud of your pretty home!
A very organic tiny home! So unique and sweet! Sophie has made it her very own one of a kind!
She summed it up perfectly...It’s like a big hug when I come home. That is how I felt watching this 😘❤️
Incredibly admirable. I have the deepest respect for people like Sophie ♥️
Such a simple beautiful lady n has accomplished to build her artistic home for herself. A hardworking artistic lady. Hats off Mam
Aaaaah! A fellow spinnner & weaver! Love this! My hubby & I just built a craft room for all of my various hobbies, & I’ve joked about hanging a hammock in there to just live in that space, & there Sophie has done just that! I’m inspired to follow through with it!
What an amazing home! Last week I thought it was my favourite, now this one is so awesome! Loving textiles makes it even more beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
"It's like a big hug coming home." That is so beautiful!
This tiny house story is different and beautiful, I like that how she told that the loft didn't had the power/charging point so it will help her rest with no devices around ! Also saying that the experience has now made her ready to go with tools and her craft is really appreciated!!! Thanks for sharing this , it's really inspiring 💟♾️☮️
This young woman has created a beautiful zen environment for her self and I hope she feels as accomplished as she appears to her veiwers
I love the earthy, homely feel of Sophie's tiny. And what an inspiring setting! Absolutely gorgeous. And I got a very Beatrix Potter vibe from her home! Not sure where that came from, but it's a very good thing.
Sometimes I feel wonder to who that do the art and save their own live with big spirit like her.. love her and her passion of life.. go girl! ❤️
Hi MIa, Thank you 😊Sophie
I have to say that this is definitely one of my top 10 favorite tiny homes. She was extremely blessed and lucky to find the amazing windows and doors that helped her design her home. I love the use of the different woods and colors in the house esthetic and helping marry it with the nature found outside. I especially love that she has created the space to allow her to create the textiles which is how she now earns her living. Wool, spinning, weaving, and anything having to do with wool or can be created using it have always been dear to me from a young age because my eldest sister,who recently passed, was an amazing and gifted artist. She introduced me to spinning and weaving after she learned how to and had purchased her first loom. This was after she got married and she and her husband moved to a farm in West Virginia and she opened a craft and fabric store where she sold the various textiles she made. I was 6 years old and she sparked my love for creating pretty much anything by hand. I never chose one art from and have taught myself how to do many different types of things, but I always wanted to be like my eldest sister who was 12 years older than me and I looked up to her. We had always been close even though she was so much older. Having a space to be creative is a must for me.
I love her tech free loft and stained glass window. So inspiring!
Dear Sophie, the way you’ve embraced all of this art caused my heart to sing the entire watch.
Your lifestyle makes me peacefully nostalgic.
Thank you all for this share. Bless you all on your journeys always 🌸
Especially love the use of color in this home, and the long counters of warm woods. Sophie seems wonderfully serene and contented in her space. Long may she remain so!
My favourite so far! Sophie is a legend
You have achieved such a lovely, cosy, homely, interesting home. I congratulate you Sophie. I think this is my favourite tiny home.
What a beautiful tiny home. Plus, she did most of the planning & work herself. 👍👏 She's amazing! Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
Loved this was built by a woman taught by another woman - in a trade where building is mostly men teaching to other men it is wonderful to see women empowering other women like this!
For anyone that may say something about her bucket system, my family actually had to do that for a bit. When I was in 9th grade (14-15yo), my dad, mom, 2 brothers, and myself built a house. We moved into it as soon as the all the framing was up. We used the bucket system for almost a year. Ours was outside away from the house, but it sucked. We had no protection from the weather, bugs, or any potential critters (snakes). Point being, as long as proper disposal is done, I have no qualms.
Anyhoo, I like what she did with the little amount of money she had.
Thank you for posting this. This set up is just temporary and has changed from it's initial design. It is on it's way to becoming something else. There are future design plans for a bathroom and studio that will be accessed via the to-be-installed backdoor. The whole thing with this build is that I have been able to do projects on the house as the money came in. This was for the case for everything. Power, plumbing, cabinetry. It was a shell when I moved in. So thanks again for getting it. 🙏Sophie
@@sophie_marino No problem at all. I know how some people can be. Sometimes you have to do things that aren't pleasant or comfortable. If I could talk my wife into it (been trying), I'd be doing the same thing.
Sophie's home is marvelous. I like these darling owner created spaces, like big hugs.
Great job as usual Bryce , Sophie did a wonderful job very impressive.Thank you for this video.
She has a lovely peaceful home.
Sophie is such a lovely creator! LOVE that she did this. So homey and sweet-like her!
So beautiful, she's very talented and has great vision ❤️
What a beautiful home - the colour palette of that interior is so cohesive and calming. Really lovely!
I adored this woman’s calm spirit, I could tell she was an old soul and deep thinker. I visited her weavings site and it’s just the kind of thing I adore, handmade with love on the loom. I will definitely be buying one of her shawls soon. I love the old slow ways and ancestral tradition and she embodies that. I’m glad she can live her own independent life free of untenable massive mortgages and no creative time. She is truly living my dream, except I’m a painter and art jeweller. Thank you Bryce for inspiring us with all these little houses. For those who don’t know Byron bay is a place in NSW where all the creatives, bohemians, hippies, free spirits etc go live, but the houses are massively expensive for years now. So you don’t have to figure out other ways of being in that community.
Do have to figure out, not don’t.
So much beauty in this home! Sophie is truly an artist, with an eye for design and color and space-making. Everything is done to a 'T'. Big applause to her for this fantastic outcome for the home, and then the beautifully designed outdoor spaces, as well.👍💕☮
STUNNING!!! Love this home!
I knew she was a creative when I seen the recycled metal and then you went indoor and I was like YEAP! Love the Japanese loom (my tiny home will be mostly my art creative space on the lower leave...a Hammock Too OMG!
One of my favourite tiny houses. Congrats to this woman!
You can feel Sophie in this house! It is so welcoming and lovely :)
