I love this host guy. He's so nice and sweet and such a great host too! Pointed out the best parts of the home and asked great questions, polite and courteous. He's wonderful!
Fara Yaman 🇺🇸 ....and soft spoken...and love his accent 🏡
Fara Yaman Kiwi men are very liberated from macho traits compared to other nations - well as lot of the guys, not all of course.
Hot, ryt?
Daryl Espenilla definitely Easy on the eyes!
That's why Bryce makes these the most watchable of all the tiny home channels.
This one looks actually nicer than some of the much more expensive builds we've seen. It's just gorgeous!
I agree. There's something so special about the timbers used in this home and all the character it brings to the house.
She really personalized it with her own unique signature and made it hers. I would do the same. She's right, cant do that quite so much in a conventional home. Many lack character considering how expensive they are.
I agree.....it has great character & charm!
$19k US? Wow. This is perhaps the best bang-for-your-buck tiny house I've seen. The drying rack on the pulley was a creative highlight for me. Very slick. She cut no corners and had tons of style. All reclaim/recycled. Wow. Amazing work!
Steve Shanley at the end she said $26k though
+Kate Li in NZ dollars. Bryce put the US conversion in parenthesis. :)
I want a house with no cut corners! XD jk I agree completely!
in ecuador it is possible to built a house with that price¡ even with 5000
Not 19K but 26K They both say so at the end.
there needs to be more people like this on the planet.
more people like the goverment who would let us do this. in an acceptable place of course
+shawndra J. I'm sad....around my town I would be considered strange if I did this...yet knowing and hearing how others would want to do this also...secretly. I'm not one to keep up with the Joneses...but also don't want to be the"strange" one.
+shawndra J. yes and I have to wonder wy that is. and I really don't care what people think but growing up I was the odd one out and I seem to have been trying not to be now. but to stay true to myself at the same time. I am rebuilding my small camper. I want to keep the outside pleasant but the inside will hopefully be all me
yeah i agree, i would love to do this but here im my country ( the Netherlands) its just almost impossible thanks to goverment regulations
It is almost impossible everywhere because of so much regulations
First off, what a beautiful spirit Annelies is. She smiles and sing-songs her way through this whole video. Wonderful! Second, terrific home. It is full of fantastic touches that make living in a small space practical and possible.
I love how the warmth of this home really does reflect her personality. Thanks for watching the tour! :)
I love the details that people put into tiny houses, and the fact that the quality of construction is usually top notch. But what I love best is your ability to find these places and point out the details that make them work for each individual, and your willingness to share with us. Thank you!
Thanks so much! That's lovely of you to say. :) Thank-you for watching!
You don't really see the horror stories. For example, many solar powered tiny homes have huge issues with power generation from time to time, especially the winter months. The mobile tiny homes, no matter how well built, can buckle under the stress of driving around with it, causing serious structural damage that is very difficult and expensive to fix. There is a lot of damage that can occur by moving a tiny home, because traditional wood buildings really aren't designed for that, it is essentially like putting your tiny home through an earthquake. The trailers themselves also flex, they simply aren't built to make things sturdy.
Overall, it can get quite pricey, in many cases near or even more pricey than a traditional home. She spent $19K, and that's with building it herself and cheap materials or reclaimed free materials and the total price doesn't really include everything. Then you've gotta think about stuff like land costs, land taxes, she has city water hookup which costs money to get hooked up. Tiny homes sadly, aren't all that practical unless you live in a big city with a place to park it, because big cities usually have gigantic living costs, like new york where you need to be a millionaire just to rent an apartment.
Your points are all valid, but I have realized these points already from my searches. The majority of tiny homes are not meant to be moved more than 2 or 3 times, so a permanent site is better unless you are going to invest in the structural strength you'd need for transporting it. I am glad to see you have been doing your homework too. :) It's always best to educate yourself before major decisions.
C North You had to just go and piss on it did'nt you ? Its not just about money ,its about challenging yourself and thinking outside the box. SUre it has to be built and designed right to move but the point is people are doing it and bucking the mortgage trap . More power to them and less credit to whiners like you . You can build light and strong . In fact lighter is better when moving if its a well designed torsion box structure. Your negativity is a horror story that stops people from empowering themselves.
C North I think most of us looking at Tiny Houses understand the issues. I know the woman in this video does-did you take a look when they were showing the beginning of the walls going up? Did you notice the metal cross bracing? She knows she has to keep the structure light, yet flexible if it has to be moved-which is likely will at some point. Also, I feel she is better off living in a flexible structure like this on a trailer instead of a foundation where she is. Christchurch, New Zealand has had so many problems with earthquakes and all the tremors-I think her Tiny House is better able to handle the shifting earth!
I love her laugh and smile; makes me feel warm and happy inside. She did such an amazing job with this home.
People who own a bit of land who are otherwise struggling could really benefit from leasing some of it out to tiny house owners too.
great idea!
Tiny house owners are all cheap and broke as fuck. Not the type you want on your property. They are basically trailer trash.
you weren't kidding about your screen name were you
They are tiny trailer trash.
I like the house, it's adorable, but the 2 of them talked to each other more than they toured the house! They did have chemistry going on, lol!
Oh wow this woman did an incredible job. I love her its "my house" not "a house" comment. :)
Absolutely beautiful home!! Congratulations to her on what an amazing job she did. Her father must be very proud of her.
Thank you Bryce for sharing
Roy
You're welcome Roy! Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the vid. :)

15 y.o. Brazilian girl addicted to watching tiny house videos. Hope to get there someday. Love your videos, great production!
Me too!
Yes, me too.
Me too! I want to try this so bad! Lol
Did you tried. Querida?
18 year old filipina~ I'm super excited to save up and plan and design for a tiny house!
This is really gorgeous. I've been binge watching tiny house videos and this one is by far my favorite one. What a beautiful and talented girl. I loved every inch of her home. She did an outstanding job building this.
T.T. Love Totally agree. The neat bathroom and drying rack were fab too....and those stairs.
Same as you...
So cute and cozy. I'm very impressed with conscientious she is about reusing material. She's done a beautiful job!
I really like this one, and she is really cute too. Something about a woman who can do things for herself, and knows how to use tools is pretty darn special in my books!
Wow. I never see Tiny Houses that I feel I could just move into-but I feel like if I could just enter this screen I could move into this house in a heartbeat!! What a gorgeous, warm home! I especially love the little wood cook stove! Everything has so much warmth, so much character! Her father should be so proud of her!!
Driven past this gorgeous house and always been curious about its story. Stoked to find out! Amazing job! :)
This home just breathes with beauty. So cozy and clean.
During the segment starting at 2:41, I was fixated by the little floaties in the air. It looked a little like a filter but it must be just the normal particles in the air. I loved this feature! What I carry from this project is just the simple idea of 'reclaiming'. It's not new but its done with such a purity here in this space that you can't help but be compelled. I love the simplicity of the space but of course just all that character. LOVE.
That bugged me too:) maybe an air filter will be good in small spaces.
I think the floating lights were either reflections (as from sequins, or a mobile) or dispersion of light through a prism.
dust from the wood stove...
I actually don't hate the floaties. I felt they were rather pretty - eye catching.
really?
I consider this a proper tiny house for a proper price, great video.
This one is the best. She has everything covered and pure class!
What a natural girl. I love it.
When I see this wonderful tiny house, I really « feel as if this was my home » One can easily imagine living in there. This young woman is radiant and kind, she puts a lot of things coming from her family inside and I like the simplicity and warmth of the decoration. As for the charming young man asking questions, he really knows how to make people at ease, good for him.
This house is gorgeous. And I loved the adaptation of the indoor drying rack. Really smart idea.
I don't want to look at anymore tiny homes.This one is my favorite! What an incredible job! Beautiful and very cozy🌻
This girl is a f@*kin dream she's gorgeous and can build a house, there's dudes that can't build sh%t, she's amazing
For sure! :)
lee shihad
Queer women like myself are dying for girls like her. XD
So much swearing for a simple compliment. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@kreativepulp8760 raised by wolves?
Beautiful. I could imagine something similar being ideal as tiny house in mountains, snow and fireplace...nothung better than that.
*nothing
mississippi old houses
I love this home, I keep coming back to it, this is my fifth time watching
krispy noodle me too 😊
So many nice features in this home!!! Love the spoon drawer pulls, the kitchen counter, the brick mold as a spice rack, the stair storage, the long sofa, the fireplace with the oven and cooktop. Looks like quality work on a budget!
I love everything about this house, Annelies did such a wonderful job making the space incredibly functional without looking jam-packed. Thank you for sharing, I found this one particularly inspiring!
This has to be one of the best videos on this channel. Not only the house has so much characters, its owner has the same characters as the house! The way she talks and tells the story of the house and her core design principles that are obviously very important to her. Quite inspiring.
'TO DO: Receive cuddles from Tom' :-)
I have struggled for ages with how to create a simple lift-system for an elevator bed that can be pulled with a normal winch (not the long armed kind, just a regular one), and watched an endless amount of UA-cam-videos on the subject, to no use. Seeing that drying rack just made it all come together in my head. Thank you!!! I am sooo grateful 💛💛💛
👍I like it. The price is right too. Note to self - I love that drying rack idea. She seems like a sweet person. It’s wonderful that she had a supportive dad and friends to help her out. 💞
The drying rack is a clever idea. I love the kitchen basin too. Clever girl. Very nice tiny 🏠
Loving you in Orange, Bryce. 😉😂😂
Wow, you two have amazing chemistry ! ;-)
Secondly, I take my hat off to Annelies for having the guts to do this. I would LOVE to build my own little house, but am concerned about Council regulations (annoying) and where to park it, as buying land here in New Zealand is super expensive. Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who own a farm!
Also, I'd need a larger space for my books and even though I'm only 5ft tall, I like lofty ceilings and not to feel enclosed too much. Annelies's space is very cute and I love all the reclaimed materials she used. Well done!
TheWellReadLady agree
Yes regulations is what keeps me hesitant
I liked her TO DO LIST.
*Receive cuddles from Tom* 😍😍😍nice one
I admire this woman so much, what a beautiful house!!
Love the drying rack!! Best one I've seen so far
This is one of my favorite tiny house so far. Maybe i want a Little bigger one. But this one is Lovely, so cozy, warm and welcoming. Thumbs up!
I've watched so many of these but this is the most pleasing tiny home thus far. That she built it mainly herself is an accomplishment but beyond that there is a pleasing balance between the house feeling professionally put together yet personally handcrafted. Thank you for sharing it!
my favorite book by Tim Winton in her sleeping loft book shelf! What a wonderful woman doing amazing work, this house is beautiful and so well crafted
This guy is wonderful. If you watch all his videos, he is enthusiastic and complementary with everyone's house. He never says anything negative and they must feel epic when he leaves.
love that stove and heater
TenJ59 right!? I couldn't help but think how cozy and amazing it'd be to warm up your home while cooking a pot of stew or soup or something. I guess I just forgot that things like cooking and heating can be done simultaneously without wasting energy. Definitely going to need a similar piece in my future tiny home.
Awesome layout and great drying rack (I am stealing that idea) =) and several others... Great Job... It has become obvious to me that the houses that are designed and built by the people (person) living in the space are the best... great idea to live in it some as you build. What is necessary gets worked in... (the only change I would make is I would have put a shorter window in the kitchen and put some cabinets above and a escape way out of the loft)...
For me it's the better looking tiny hose I've seen for such a low investment, brilliant result. Cheers to the hard work and passion put into it
Great looking place and classy gal! Reminds me of a princess for some reason :^)
Lovely house and lovely lady. Finally someone who shows how they line dry clothes....up at the top of the ceiling where it's warm!
Bryce's best line: "Prepackaged history." What a great interview. Love the drone shots, as well.
This house is stunning so cute and I love all the stories behind everything
Beverley Butterfly
It's a lovely place and nicely done.
Can't imagine living there at all though.
Very nice love it!!! it looks so small from the outside but on the inside it's bigger than I thought it would be........
May be nearly 3 years late but still have to say, outstanding, lovely, really inventive warm touch to everything. Love the look of the whole place.
Beautiful tiny house. I hope the government can subsidize people who have limited resources. Tiny houses will be more practical instead of building housing which is more expensive and make other people very dependent of housing. This tiny house will save a lot of money.
Hello, I have to say, this young women definitely knows how to build her own unique home. I love the idea that she and her father used old material and hand me downs from the family. I put myself in her shoes and sat down in her living room and reminisced on all the objects. On how and who built it. Where it came from, etc. Its beautifully placed memories. Thank you for sharing her story.
Beautiful... ^^ Well narated. It's very inspirational for anyone that wants to build or live in a tiny home.
Bryce, i think you are the best appreciator i have ever seen. Can only imagine what a great father or father figure you would be. You genuinely are a perfect mirror of The Unconditional, .. in every video you are really connected, as if THIS tiny house is the Only one you have seen, this loft the only loft... and the person before you the Only person. That is truly remarkable. The camerawork is superb also.
I love her smile, so beautiful
Love it all !! The cool Grandpa's brick mold turned spice rack, the bright white interior of the pantry, the imaginative repurposing brings in a touch of whimsy ♡ and practicality!!
This home is the best tiny house Ive seen.every single detail is so appealing to the eye and yet so practical.more so the owner is a most wonderful combination of beauty and talent of being a good carpenter and yet a good cook.just a warm and inviting person in an equally cosy and perfect home.
What a charming house! Some great ideas, like the table design and the drying rack, and I love the angles of the roof. She definitely has a grasp on the balance of form vs function.
I love this home and how she did the layout every area has it own space I love that even down to the steps and uses that space this is nice!!!😉
The best tiny house I've seen yet. Excellent floor plan and materials. She did a wonderful job.
What a sweet person and so wise. Everything we do certainly is a series of steps...There were moments on screen that she looked like she could be your sister... Probably my favorite part of the house was the sleeping loft, followed by the clothes dry rack...Another unique find, thanks for this video.
Yeah, I really liked how she said that. It's so true and it's great to be reminded that everything can be accomplished if we just break things down into little bite-sized pieces. :)
The girl is sunshine, smiling and laughing. nice to watch such positive people
This is beautiful house Tiny House - at the cost of $ 16,000 it's amazing out put
Another outstanding kiwi build. We are crushing this Tiny House Movement. I watch A LOT of these and her self-build is really beautiful. I love the wide planks of recycled timber she has used to horizontally line the lounge. The colour of the enamel on her wood stove works so well with the sea green end wall. Antique tins, retro design touches, a big round seagrass mat, a maidenhead fern in the bathroom, the vintage bathroom cupboard, wooden drying rack, sliding door construction over pantry and all the glorious salvaged timber. The list goes on ! The dormer in the loft is nicely considered creating a spacious feeling and she even has cross-ventilating windows. The whole place rocks ! I love it - one of the best smaller TH I have seen. Perfect.
dream house .. i always wanted small house n happy life.... seems perfect . so beautiful
Another beautiful home. I LOVE the way she kept things simple and focused on a design that was 100% supportive of the way she lives. Awesome little stove, kitchen for cooking amazing meals, incredibly cozy yet spacious loft, steps instead of a ladder, roomy shower...wish I could move in! I REALLY appreciate that you always ask the cost of people's creations. It keeps it real and with the wide variety of homes you've highlighted on your channel with their corresponding range of costs, it really let's one know that if they want to build something within their means THEY CAN DO IT!
Love how the to do sign says 'Receive cuddle from Tom' :)
What a wonderful home, she has done a great job. I love the fact that she used all reclaimed materials. This is one of my favorites, especially all the bookcases and the drying rack.
So empowering ! Beautiful Work of art ! Merci.
Thanks for watching Joanna!
This is my favorite tiny home. It's amazing!! So functional, eco-friendly, open, and overall beautiful.
this is so well done especially for the price. designed very well too!!
This young girl has done a great job on her tiny house...a real cozy, workable place, like it.
Wonderful home, so cozy and efficient. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of the loveliest tiny homes I have ever seen. So much craftmanship, great ideas (that drying rack!!!) and super thoughtful space planning make it so liveable. Bravo! Thanks Bryce for showcasing this one.
I absolutely love this channel. I hope to build my own tiny house soon. lots of info and tips. i love her home its perfect.thanks Bryce please keep the vids coming. Jeff from Ohio USA.
Yes, the house has character putting a little of fam history into it. The woodwork is so calming & the young lady owner is simply awesome, as welcoming as the vibe of the house. I like the hanging clothesline which is unrecognizable, such clever idea.
Perfect! I'm glad you and who's filming are doing these videos with so many people creating tiny houses these days, someone needs to keep them up. We are working on the same thing and ideal towards the future of humanity. The day we get in contact will be great🤓
I have to agree with so many comments here. This is a beautiful tiny home. If this charming, talented lady can do so much, with such a small space, imagine what she could do with a little bigger space. I guess much of this process happens in the heart, opposed to those anonymous homes that usually find their roots in profit. Thank you Bryce, and Annelies, there is hope.
Beautiful little house and lovely features. Good for her!
I believe I watched this episode when it was brand new and I've never forgotten it. Everything is so practical and welcoming. She did a beautiful job.
Same and this is my 3rd time watching. I love this house and her personality too!
Bryce, I'm so happy to see you back with regular videos. Great job, as always!!
What a beautiful sweet soul Annelies is, she had those lovely white sparklies floating nearby her when she was talking in a couple of shots (no, they weren't dust) and what a truly gorgeous home. An inspirational gal indeed
rather live in that than a studio flat
Yup! Me too! :)
I love that she's used a maslin for the sink, it's just Brilliant! The Sheila maid they're just perfect for drying, such an old idea yet still the most environmentally and financially the best way. This whole place was outstanding 💖💖
Anna congratulations, you have a beautiful home goes hand in hand with your beautiful soul, so humble, talented ,positive , enthusiastic, friendly, i bet your conservative and environmentally concious. I wish i gOT married and have a child WITH an attitude like yours.. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING YOURSELF TO THE WORLD TO EMULATE. GOD BLESS YOU....
i forget to say this your sweet and industrious too, i always love to see uour video everytime i open youtube maybe to hear your calm and sweet voice so adorable...THANKS BRYCE FOR POSTING THIS..
I watch this channel 50% for the home build, and 50% for the homebuilder personality. I love this one on both counts! I love Anneliese , I think I'm in love!
impressive house..enjoyed it.
She did a most remarkable job. She is such a lovely young lady as well. The home is just beautiful.
Awesome stuff! Loved the guitar at the end too - you should have more music throughout!
The construction is so fine. A house built like furniture. Good sense of scale. The drying rack like some in medieval English kitchens. And the stairs like Japanese farmhouse tansu. Thank you,New Zealanders.
Apparently I need to move out of the states. We don't have women this industrious, creative, and sweet - all at the same time. So dreamy!
Everyone should move from the states haha (just kidding lol)
Hehe, well all the decent ones anyway. I'm ready to search the globe for my tiny house soulmate :)
I'm sure there are plenty of industrious women in the states and yes, I'd move too
Move farther south lol.
I love this house! So cheaply done! I love how she said that anyone can build it. Just one step at a time. I keep fantasizing about building my own.(Have no experience, just Shop 101 lol) However, to have someone build it is not that cheap. Her statements give me motivation! Plus I would love to build my own!!
Hmmm, I wonder how much muscle you need to build a home like this. I'm probably a lot smaller than her , just abit above 5foot . I wonder if I could do it ??!! would like to try.
You could almost have a 3 storey tiny house! :D
LOL, took me a minute or two to get it. HAHA I get it. Yep it's not so tiny for me. More like medium size.
I'm short, too, shorter than you, and if I had my own tiny house, I'd make the roof of the kitchen much lower to give me more standing room upstrairs for the bed area (or come up with another idea). I've had a bed on the floor for almost a decade, and I know I don't like to crawl around. Even when I go camping, I like a tent I can stand up in.
Clover HighFive Yeh, I know what you mean. I'd do the same. I guess there are peaks for being short. Pity no one else can enter our houses!
readu100 yay for hobbitses!
Whenever I'm watching tiny house videos, I prefer this OVER THE MOON to tiny house listing, it's less about earning money and more about the people. ♥️♥️
What are the white sparkly lights at 2:50 ? Pretty cool.
Beautiful home. I love the composting toilet! But seriously... overheat from 20°? Bahaha
I LOVE recycling and so much character was added by using materials that were sourced + recycled. That hanging clothes drying rack is fabulous and the loft is stunning! The big windows, the cosy wood slants & beautiful storage makes this loft feel very special; l bet she sleeps very well!👍🏻😄🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
I totally sensed chemistry between these two! Does anyone know if they ever got together? They make a cute couple!
Yes, They will make good looking couple 😍
He's already spoken for by the amazing girl behind the camera ;)
Very clever use of space. I have watched a lot of tiny house videos and this one, except for the fridge, was the best. I am impressed that she created so much counter space and storage space. The drying is very unique and practical.
Im just here to see the comments, I wonderif anyone else thought they looked good together?
yeah , i sensed a nice chemestry going on ;-)
yeah i rekon he would of smashed her box afterwards
hahaha living big indeed!
YES! And he definitely has a crush on her for sure! His body language, eye contact, hanging on her every word, and slew of compliments was a dead ringer. She was blushing a bit around him .. they would be cute couple!
Leanne Walter I was thinking the same thing! They would make an adorable couple!
