This is lovely. I like that she doesn’t have to crawl around on all 4s in her main bedroom.
A real luxury 😅
@@TinyHouseExpedition 😂😂
Oh absolutely! This is the main thing I would need if I ever buy a tiny home.
A true Texas Educator! So proud of her and love her home and humbleness. Since I live in Texas I love that she said where she acquired it! God Bless her, please continue to educate our Texas kiddos!
I really love her generous vision for sharing the tony home experience with other educators. As a retired educator, good fellowship is a wonderful thing!!😊😊
Truly wonderful 💗
Can i say how much i love the woman who hosts? I actually don't hate the ads because of her. What a delight!
Lovely tiny home!
Absolutely love your tiny home. It’s beautiful AND looks like a real person actually lives there. Also love your realistic thoughts on tiny living.
She seems like such a sincere, sweet and caring person. The idea of having tinies for educators is a fabulous idea and I hope your plan comest to fruition. I plan for the same but for Artists of all mediums. The creative community have a very hard time with affordable housing.
Absolutely love your plan to help support artists creative community ❤️ best wishes with your planning!
Love this! Considering a tiny house after living in an apartment. The rising costs of living in an apartment or house is rising. So living tiny, renting in a community would be wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this information.
That's what I'm doing, I'm moving out of my $1,735 a month one bedroom apartment to live with my mom and save for my tiny house. The rent rates have become ridiculous.
Lovely home for a kind and caring young woman. The world needs more people with her heart and spirit 🙏♥
💯❤️
I love that shade of blue. The house has a decent amount of space and storage.
Lowe’s has retractable screen doors and even for sliding or French doors which would be great for you.
Very nice tiny. Also, I love the fact that she is thinking about helping educators in the future. Decor is lovely, and functionality is top notch.
🙌💗
Your dogs 🐩 🐶 🐕 are adorable 🥰!!!!! Beautiful home! I love that you have an office! I have been drawing ✍️ plans that have a small office in it and it’s cool to see that it really does work!!! God bless!❤
Right on! Best wishes with your planning ☺️✨
I love that blue colour
So vibrant but soothing 💙💚
With this lifestyle surely you may save more and allot it to other major expenses. There's a lot more of benefits and I am very happy to see you all enjoying life. ❤❤
Nice lady, very honest and straightforward. Hope all goes well 💕
Well done with your tiny home. Also, I love @5:40 your double wedding ring quilt! x
Love the layout. Looks quite roomy. Hubby and I are full time RVers and once we're done traveling want to do a tiny home. This video gives me a lot of inspiration
Happy to hear it! Best wishes with your travels & tiny house planning 😊
Love the colors, couch and fridge, appliances.
I like the stairs better than the ladder most have
I love your place. Thank you for focusing on special people.
💕
I'm so glad you have a gooseneck tiny home ..if I'm going to buy a tiny home I'm going to be able to stand up in the bedroom
I'm glad to see that your place is so long 43 ft that's really nice. Love your place and love what you did with it !!
Goosenecks are the way to go!! 😁😊
Hello Carolyne how are you doing today
This is an adorable space. I live in Houston now, but lived in Austin for years. I love Georgetown. I am also an educator who is currently working on my master’s degree in Special Education. Love your home and your kind personality!
Thank you for the love! 💕
I very much relate to her philosophy on living! I also want to simplify my life. This is very inspiring ❤
Oh my gosh, me too! I had the same thought about providing tiny homes for educators! It's just a dream currently. I am a paraprofessional barely getting by myself.
Your home is beautiful 😍....I wouldn't mind this ...just wish the ceiling was taller in the loft. Your bathroom is very nice I like the office you can make a third bedroom with this. Be Safe Be Blessed
Crawl on lofts definitely aren’t for everyone 🙃 thanks for kind comment! ❤️
She is automatically winning because she has an incinerating toilet instead of a composting toilet. Other than this point, her layout is lovely.
Yay, Georgetown! It's a great place to live. Love your house. So homey and warm.
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Beautiful home it looks surprisingly wider than 8 1/2 ft.
It really does live like a wider tiny home 😃
This is a beautiful space. Any smaller, and you may feel closed in. I live in a place that's about 400 square feet. Way too small! I don't buy a lot (except i think i have too many clothes!). Even so, it gets cluttered so easily and looks like a disaster area if I don't keep after it continually. Believe me, some days i don't! My declutter time is before bed most days. I'm fortunate in that my job takes me away for a week or two at the time, so before I leave I do a deep cleaning so I can come back to clean and tidy. Still, my place is way too small.
Your home looks wonderful and cozy!
Edit: It's never been up to my parents for my peace of mind or what I wanted to do in life. It's actually never been their problem. :)
very beautiful and livable.
💯😊
BEAUTIFUL HOME. YES WE CAN ALL STILL DOWNSIZE SOME OF OUR FURNITURE AND T HINGS. YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE MORE UPGRADES TOO. MAYBE YOU CAN SWAP OUT THAT BIG MARBLE COFFEE TABLE FOR A SMALLER LIGHT WEIGHT ONE. YOUR ROLLING DESK CAN BE FOLDED UP AND HUNG ON A HOOK IN YOUR CLOSET SO ITS OUT OF THE WAY. SOME BUILT INS ARE REALLLY NICE AND YOU SAVE SPACE. KEEP YOUR COUCH. ITS OKAY TO WANT A REGULAR COUCH. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO.
Beautiful, I love this for you!!! Same on the cleaning..
Very nice tiny home, she has a good arrangement.
Lovely sized home 🤩 This is the size I would go for if I could afford to buy. You could use the office area for a dining room if you needed to. Or just put a small desk on the same side as the stairs and I'd use a blow up mattress for guests in that space. Just to keep it free from furniture most of the time. You could do yoga or stretching or some meditation in that space if no furniture there. Plenty of options. And nice to have a standing bedroom also.
Good ideas! So many possibilities with a flex space like that 😊
The food looks really good 👍. Not able currently, but I may try it, down the road.
Great looking home , love the thinking ahead about the dog's needs, and the hindsight of plugs and other stuff are a good recommendation to plan out also.
Thanks for the kind feedback! Outlet placement is often an overlooked detail but can make a big difference 😅
Fellow educator here! So glad you found a wonderful solution to the money problem. It’s so frustrating how important education is, yet how little many educators are compensated for their amazing work with our youth! My district is great, I’m a 3rd year teacher making $96k (M.Ed), but our neighboring districts with the same education and years make $65k-$70k Tsk tsk tsk how can one survive on that without a partner???
Seriously!! 💕
I made 57K in my 7th year. Then quit!
@@SkySpiral8 I get it though!
Teachers make even less in Florida, somewhere around $50,000.
@@TinyHouseExpedition Seriously? I would feel like I was wealthy if I were making that much. If you're not materialistic, it is pretty easy to live on 2/3rds of that. I'm not arguing what teachers are paid. I am just questioning why it would be so difficult to live on that salary.
Lovely home. Love the colored appliances.
A really darling set she has 💙
I really like this layout!
Thank you for mentioning the icemaker. Making ice could be sloppy, especially with a freezer on the bottom.
I am a real fan of your home and love the colors.
Love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks you very much Diane! 🥰
Beautiful house, I hate cleaning also, I can relate!😄
LOVELY HOME
That doesn't look like a tiny home. It's so spacious and 3 bedrooms. Wow nice place love the blue color on the outside.
It definitely lives very large! 😄✨
Hello
Absolutely beautiful
I love her color of choice ❤
Love this design so much...
Thanks for sharing and your honesty,
Blue colors are beautiful!!
Your decor is so great
love this - thanks for the tour
I think I can guess your favourite colour in one try. LOL :) Thank you for showing us your lovely home. I like the sitting/work area and moving to the primary bedroom.
Right! Lol. Its my fav too..all shades of blue.
Great, great job! Beautifully planned and decorated. I like how you have a larger couch. I presume it may be for seating guests? Definitely get that net! I know how the bugs are here in Texas!
Thank you for sharing your home. I hope your video gets a ton of views. I think you could increase the size more to have more room in your bathroom, a fuller kitchen, walk in closet...but that wouldn't be a tiny home now.
😄🍻
Nikki's tiny home is so comfy and cozy! It's so light and bright! I love her plants, decor, and the color of her house! It's a tranquil blue! May I ask where the nice storage sofa was purchased? I need exactly that size for my apartment. Great teacher, great tour!👍😊
Thanks for the support, and great question! Not sure about her sofa, but definitely hit her up on Instagram if she doesn’t she your question here (link in the description). It might from HomeReserve. We’ve seen their modular storage sofas in a couple of tiny homes 😁
This is exactly what would be absolutely perfect for me! I need one of these
Happy dreaming & planning! ☺️
Wow, I really like that setup
TX girl ready to get out of grid this makes me feel like I can actually do it
Beautiful home
I could easily live in that amount of space. I like the floor plan. The aging process might hinder having to use a ladder to get to a bed so the stairs are nice.
your tiny is so cute love the style
Hopefully the subject of the video sees this they sell Magic mesh style double door openings now. It's easy to hang up very similar to magic mesh but wider... I think you can get it for anywhere between a garage door and french door size frame.
That stuff is awesome 😎✨👊
I am so inspired by your idea to have a community for educators! Your house is lovely! I have a question. How often do you have to change the tires on your home?
Hi, thank you! I have not changed the tires. The recommendation to me was to not change them until I am ready to move it again.
So Adorable 💕 💕
Hello
Nice house. English is not my fist language. So please tell me what an educator? Is it the same thing as a teacher? 😊
Educator is a general term for teachers of all kinds. Special education is usually for students (usually children) with special needs.
Hi Daniel! I use the term educator rather than teacher because it is more broad. I am no longer a classroom teacher, but an educational administrator, and I've worked in many roles in education.
I love your house.
Cute pups
Nice house and beautiful dogs!
I really like the color of the outside and I think it’s a good length
Beautiful Blue!! Almost Tiffany Blue ❤
I love your tiny home 👌👌👌
I like that you have a very nice home and good for you. Thank you so very much for sharing this with video.Karen Nichols
Thanks for watching!
You were definitely Blessed to build before the price hikes !

It's perfect for you hun, you live init the way you want!!!!
You could try the boating industry for a tiny oven. Cute home.
Great tip! ☺️✨
Thank you for the recommendation!
Hello Linda how are you doing today
Love it !! Rah Rah 😉
📣💃😄
Please mention who makes the couch!
Good question! Hopefully Nikki will pop over here to answer. Also check out her Instagram: instagram.com/nikkigoestiny?igshid=NTdlMDg3MTY=
Seconding this! I love that couch so much 😍
Is that a portrait of Ruth Ginsburg on her wall? ❤️❤️❤️
What brand is your couch? Or where did you get it?
She should look into a larger toaster oven. There are ones that bake and broil and go up to 550 if not 600, with convection, so basicly an oven.
nice
Hello Kathleen how are you doing today
*I'd watch a video on what she'd change if she could redo her tiny home.*
Hi! In this previous video with Tiny Home Tours I talk more about changes and you can see some of the changes I've made between the two videos. I'm constantly making change as my life changes :) ua-cam.com/video/6zHmhkS4rN4/v-deo.html
This looks lonely. The plants really are well taken care of. Beautiful. Don’t go smaller……….this amount of space seems to suit you.
When I moved to the 'lesser 48' I wondered what people do to minimize risks of cyclones. If you had a tiny house, would you have access to a tornado shelter nearby?
She does 😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition Good! The nearest 'low place' we have here is a ravine, and across the street, I know our neighbor has a basement, but when I moved here, that was the first priority since I heard there were tornadoes in these parts (Indiana), but no. We live under immense oak trees (nice, but still under them and they are old) AND there are termites! The last tornado that came through here bypassed us by about five miles.
Kinda like a tall mobile home. Not bad.
ok, i know i am not tripping, didn't your page view her house before or was she on another tiny house on youtube?
Good catch! She was on another channel before 😁
Not enough closets
As an educator, I can tell you that we actually DO make pretty good money. I spent most of my career in the legal field, but when I became a middle school teacher last year, I received more money than I had ever made before in my life. So it always annoys me when teachers perpetuate the myth that they don't make much money. Do we make as much as surgeons? No. But we make more than the average working stiff, and we get far more vacation time than any other career I can think of.
It does vary quite a bit state to date. Many young teachers in Texas with little experience make $30-40k per year which is not much but definitely much more than minimum wage. On the high end in Texas, an experienced teacher can make $65k per year.
I didn’t see THREE bedrooms like the title indicates……cute, nonetheless.
Her tiny home has downstairs office/dog lounge room (could be another bedroom), a standing-height bedroom loft & a 2nd large loft 😄
Hi Stephanie, the office space now is able to fit a twin size bed that could be changed into a third bedroom.

Hello! No payment needed. Not sure what the issue is--sorry you can't join right now :/
She mentions finding a stove small enough to fit in the available space & if she hasn’t checked out appliances for rv’s & 5th wheels might look here.
@@CatherineLeighe great recommendation!
@@gardenlevel7385 Although air fryers are nice most of us are not ready too give up our stoves.
Me time? Code for time to flick the bean.
The plural of "foot" is "feet"... foot is singular. Therefore, when there is >1 foot, it is then called "feet".
