I think it's great. Society has put too much expectation on each child getting their own room, some even with their own bathrooms. I love the tiny space. We raised our 2 kids in a 500 sq ft house with 1 bathroom. It worked. We all still love each other, lol. Now being empty nesters it's perfect. Your addition is lovely.
When I was a kid in the 1960’s I had a friend who lived in a tiny house with her mom and two sisters. We lived in a standard 50’s style house - 2 Br 1 bath single car garage. I fantasized for years about our family of 4 living in her tiny home. I was obsessed with it! I still remember it to this day.
I bet you spent - and still spend - a lot of time manifesting your dreams and ideas for your family home. Let me tell you … it shows! Warm, functional, realistically curated to keep personality but avoid clutter, and absolutely dreamy, I enjoyed every second of this tour. I appreciate you making this video and sharing it. Inspiration abounds! I live in 600 sq foot condo in the city with an 11 and 14yo, and would love that dreamy outside space and creek. What a treasure you have there. ❤️ 🏡
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, we really enjoy our home! The addition of our outside space has been incredible. We spend a lot of hours hanging out together in that space! Well done making a small space work for you and your kids!
Ha ha ha.... well, there are too many times to count that I would LOVE a dishwasher. Interestingly enough, we recently did an experiment with the number of dishes, cutlery and cups we keep readily available and it is amazing! Even the kids like having very few dishes around. I have a video planned where I'm going to talk about some of the practical ways we make it work. Thanks for watching 👍
Beautiful home. I pretty much shared a tiny room with my sister always. We live in a lovely old Victoria house it had 3 bedrooms, and only the master bedroom had a closet. But I loved that home and those memories. Thank you for a peak into you home.
Thanks for showing your tiny home! It is an inspiration to others and the dining room addition and covered porch are things that I think more tiny homes should incorporate.
This is so cool! I love it! I'm Australian and 2A, 2K live in a 1950s cottage, our place is small, I actually think you have more livable space than us haha. Your outdoor space is a dream! 😎☕
This is the first time I've seen your video and I got to tell you I like how you added the addition and you don't have to justify why you didn't do anything.. you will get to it when you're ready.. I love your place I love the outdoor space and love your new dining room .I love the kids rooms upstairs that walk way is kind of scary I would have to have more protection cuz I probably lose my balance and still fall through the ropes I am a klutz... I think you did a wonderful job.. I love how you look out to nature and the stream and the trees.. seems perfect!!
Lovely home, but it would be absolutely forbidden to live without staircases(and handrails at both sides) and at least 3 more cable to prevent falling down here in Finland. But we have so strict safety-rules. Your children must be so used to this that they remember to move carefully enough. I climbed easily that kind of ways, but better safe than sorry. I often see open stairs in other countries. You have created enough space for everyone. You must truly enjoy gathering together around that table. Nice. 😊
Hi. Thanks for watching. What you said about our children getting used to it and knowing how to move safely is exactly what naturally happens. After going 3 years without a dining room table we LOVED sitting around it for family meals
This is the cutest tiny house I've ever seen. It's just beautiful and doesn't feel small. The covered outside space is beautiful. Nice to sleep outside
I enjoyed your video. In today’s complicated economy, we are all needing to think outside the box to adapt and survive. Wishing you and your family well 😊
I just found your channel! This is such a homey and organized space. The addition is beautiful. I love the colors you’ve chosen for pops of color in your home.
This was such a pleasure to watch. I LOVE the stream flowing by your house and the setting is just beautiful. Your home is so cozy and inviting and warm. God has richly blessed you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love your joy and gratitude that comes through-- also meeting the individual and different needs of each child! Also, your stream is a dream! Beautiful!
You have done so much to your tiny home. It looks so nice and neat! A person does not need so much stuff. If they would save their money and live normal. A good lesson is learned here. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! That little black panther has found the best spot in the house! I love the green on the kitchen cabinets & I think the place has changed for the better & it’s really enjoyable to see this tour of the home!
It's beautiful ❤️🥰. It's actually livable unlike many makes you wonder how they manage with space. Most of them have no closet and very tiny eating/dining space. But you don't seem to have much storage in your room.... only the small close for clothes. Also noticed you have no TV. The addition is fantastic, that's what makes all the difference and makes it so real and livable. People need space really after all, that's what it shows.
This is such a warm, livable and realistic home. Love the layout and the location near that creek! Thanks for sharing. Where did you get that shower curtain rod? And those lockers. What a great idea!
This is one I could live in with a few more feet of width in the master, kitchen/living area. Love the addition. That part of the design cinched it for me.
Hello from South East Asia... What a delight with dining and patio to chill. I echo that you have such a sweet voice nature and attitude.... I live in a 30x10' depthand I use my patio to sit out and cook.... God bless
Hello from Russia! It's actually quite spacious comparing to the tiny flats in Russia, where most of the families live in Russia)) I love your house, cosy )and the view is fantastic😊
A wonderful cozy home , enough spacious for a big family. The only thing that feels uncomfortable for me - the steps upstairs and the safety . But probably everyone got accustomed to the staircase and to the corridor upstairs. It is a very good idea to separate space for the children. Great!!!!😊
We used to have a similar staircase up to an attic loft room and I used to run up and down it full speed as a kid. Its kind of like typing on a keyboard - your brain can get used to coordinating all kinds of crazy movements without even thinking about it 😅
Love it! Looks very comfortable and livable. And as for renos- yep that’s how real life non-HGTV renos go. Three year later and we still have to paint all the new baseboards/trim.
The idea of laundry room in your bedroom sounded strange but it makes a lot of sense to get the extra space in front of the machines to be used in the bedroom as well. Well done!👏👏👏
You home makes me think of the Weasley's home in the Harry Potter series; welcoming , cozy and without pretense. I never saw a tiny home with 3 teenagers, it can be done, maybe not by everybody but you make it work. We could hear the stream, fanstastic place to gather and relax.
Somehow,this tiny house seemed like a real home,not like other tiny homes that I have seen which are rather fancy, a little unbelievable and costly ,too.The lady sounds happy and contended and that speaks volumes. I just loved it.
People comment on our small home (1950s cottage in Australia 🇦🇺) and I'm always saying if people did the math and worked out how long they spent at home we wouldn't need big mortgages. With work, studies, school, hobbies, extra caricular activies etc how many hours a week are we actually at home? ☕💕✨
I was raised in a house of 900 sq ft with 1 bathroom with 4 people. I never remembered it was small. My sister and I shared a bedroom. The extra bedroom was my mother's sewing room. My mother made all of our clothes, plus hers. Of we did not much money. But, I never remember doing without our basic needs. Sometimes, I think we need to go back to just basic needs. I think we would be a happier society. People have too much stuff now that we spend too much time worrying about keeping up with the Jones.
I also was raised in a family of 4 in a 900sq foot home, 1 bath, 2 bed, one of which was split in half so my brother and I had a little separate space. It didn’t seem small. My memories are of baking Christmas cookies with my mom, running through the sprinkler in summer, sled riding in winter. none of my good memories involved material things. I’m 75 and I see people with big houses, lots of things, and kids today don’t enjoy life like we did.
A mini dishwasher is something I've debated many times over the years, however I just don't think it's worth the space it would take up...... for us. Everyone is different. Thanks for watching :D
I love your addition and outdoor covered living space. You can put a Christmas tree on the dresser and decorate your family table. It’s going to be beautiful!
Thank you! Yes, the Christmas tree goes on our dresser/desk in the living room. Last year was our first Christmas with our dining room table and it was a JOY to decorate that room! Thanks for watching!
I think it's great. Society has put too much expectation on each child getting their own room, some even with their own bathrooms. I love the tiny space. We raised our 2 kids in a 500 sq ft house with 1 bathroom. It worked. We all still love each other, lol. Now being empty nesters it's perfect. Your addition is lovely.
Thank you. I appreciate your words!
I had to share my room with a brother and I hated it. Kids need privacy. Period.
@@indexasica I shared with my sister I had no issues.
@@indexasica Nope! That’s just a you thing. Period.
@@indexasica Éramos 4 irmãs em um quarto de 9m2. Ficamos bem. Éramos amigas. Ainda somos.
Love how you are keeping it simple and avoiding clutter. Incomplete is a beauty of its own.
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words ♥️
@@EssenceTinyAndPurposeful, you're welcome!
Love your last sentence!
I grew up with only one bathroom and never heard anyone in the family complain about space. It worked.
We all make work what we have to make work! That's the truth. Thanks for watching 👍
I wonder when everyone wants to do the second at the same time 😮😮that’s terrible 😞
There is the master bedroom on the main floor. The girls shared one of the loft bedrooms and our son had the other loft bedroom,
I know. There were 6 of us kids plus hangers on. After we were all gone, my parents decided they needed a 2nd bathroom in their old age and added one.
The stream outside is dreamy!
We think so too 😍

It's very beautiful the fact that you appreciate the small things makes it even more beautiful 😍
Awe, thanks!
You have a delightful attitude, and I suspect, you have passed that on to your teenagers. Your home is wonderful!
Thank you Gran. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of my kiddos. I sure like 'em a lot (most of the time!) 🤣

Great little home!! You have 3 dishwashers, as my dad used to call my sister and I.

I only had an outside loo and at night we would use a bucket on the landing..i loved that cottage
Glad you have those fond memories 😊
Wow! Awesome! ❤ What is the square footage on this?
the main tiny house (including loft) is about 550
Comfortable, homely, lived in. Just love your home! Thank you for showing us!
I love it very cozy ❤❤❤

Thanks! I bought the quilt off Amazon about 5 years ago 😉
@essencetinyhouse9151 ok. Well it's so fine! You're place and that creek too. Wow!
Thank you
I like it. Everything you need. You could get a mini dishwasher. You just it in and drain the water in the sink. I love mine.
A mini dishwasher is something I've debated many times over the years, however I just don't think it's worth the space it would take up...... for us. Everyone is different. Thanks for watching :D
