VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Meet Allyson. She's a driven woman determined to make her retirement the best it could be for her and her dog Tucker. She took it into her own hands and built this adorable tiny home from the ground up, only using assistance when needed. She chose a smaller bathroom and a quaint sleeping loft to ensure maximum living space in the central area.
In the main portion, she has a couch directly across from a large bookshelf holding over 150 books she intends to read through during retirement. Her favorite pieces of furniture are a funky red leather chair that converts into several different positions, and a dining table made up of recycled broken glass bottles. The french doors lead out to a cozy sitting area next to her fresh garden, where she hosts many nights of eating, drinking, and thoroughly enjoys her new chapter in life.

Maybe you. I have a lot of shit around my old farm house. I have kids, animals, hobbies. I need room for my herbals, canning jars, board games, books, knitting, computers, off-season clothes, tools for husband to fix things. Self-sufficiency never looks tidy or small to me. I got shit everywhere, but its clean, organized and we're never bored or needing help. I see tiny homes and imagine someone on the computer. If it forces you outside, what are you doing? Gathering harvest, herbs, chopping wood, etc all requires "stuff" and space.

@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340 2 года назад

A retirement community of like minded people would be great. Have huge piece of property with a nice sized shed in the middle for community classes. Everyone having .10 or .20 of an acres to garden etc if they wanted too and space, so you don't feel like someones on top of you. It would also provide security so if you needed help. There is a guy in Texas that has something like it, but people only stay there short term to try it out.

Another advantage ... I have a motorhome and was able to park it at a medical facility when a friend was undergoing treatment. I was able to be there and visit him when appropriate and he was able to be in the motorhome between treatments. At any rate, whether parking an rv or tiny on wheels at or near a medical facility ... or in my case, I want to continue living rurally as long as I am able (I am 66), but if I eventually need to be closer to people/medical, moving a tiny on wheels means staying "home" as long as possible.

This is one of the most if not the most charmingly appointed "tiny house" that I have seen on RU-vid. There is a sense of "home" as well as being "artful." I have to the conclusion that these tiny homes are only endurable because they are usually located in the "great outdoors."

This lovely lady is living my dream! SO comfy and cozy looking and what a great location. Tucker is adorable and the perfect kind of roommate in my eyes, haha. Maybe she'll see this...if she's using the standard high heat paint for appliances and having issues and needing to re-do it, give engine paint a try instead. It has a higher burn point, comes in glossy and you can find it online and you should be able to also find it at your local auto parts place. That couch is the first built-in I've seen that looks substantial enough to be comfy. I love it! So much to love in this house. Kudos to her and I aspire to have the confidence and just do it attitude that she has in order to achieve my own dream of having a TH someday.

@janice4258 2 года назад

A home perfect for an inspiring lady. Love your attitude. One suggestion: Look for the oval tin tubs. Fill with water and set in a sunny location to slowly heat all day. It will then be ready for a nice outdoor bath for Tucker in the summertime .Purchase a 2-1/2 gallon new bucket at your local building center. Dip out a bucket full to use as rinse water for Tucker. Tub will b easily emptied into the gravel. I hope you and Tucker will have many years together in your retirement. I admire you so much. You are my hero!

If anything, this lady has reminded me of the basic rule in life, going back to the basics and the basic rule is we need the basic things to live. Retiring is an important phase in one's life. It can be a sad phase, but going back to the basic necessary things to live on, is everything we need, don't we? Thumbs up to this lady who's making her next move a smooth one while enjoying it.

I had to retire at 62, but with the changes I made, living on less than a $1k was doable. Not great, but I managed. This year I got a bump in Social security because my ex finally was eligable (he was younger than me). Now I really do feel very blessed, and quite confidant I can live on less if I ever needed to again.

The sliding pocket door is awesome...I may have to try this out. Love how it takes less space than regular doors. Since my husband passed 10 years ago I've learned that using power tools is not that hard.

@PK-bh1ww 2 года назад

Pocket doors are a great idea in any home. So Are shelves built into the wall. Great for plants and knick knacks. And in kitchens for a spice cabinet and canned foods. Instead of door front, hand a curtain that matches the window curtain. Hand crafted homes displaying owners own personality have way more charm than cookie cutter made from Menards and home decor stores.
