She Downsized Her Life & Moved Into A Gorgeous Tiny Home -Tour & Tiny Living Insights 

This is probably the most realistic tiny house I've ever seen! It's a large amount of space for one person and not so severely minimalist. She's able to keep a lot of stuff AND have decorative elements that bring her joy. LOVE IT!

Girl....keep that sofa. It looks sooo comfortable. A lot of tiny homes have those storage seats that look too high, too short (width of seat for holding your butt) and too uncomfortable. Even if you recover it keep it!

"If you don't remember you have it, you probably don't need it." This is very deep.

This is my favourite tiny house so far. It looks SO spacious, and the layout is so inviting. I would keep the microwave and add a small dishwasher to the kitchen, I love the idea of the drop-down add-on for the countertop. But I love everything else about this place, Jody included. I love her whole vibe.

I love that you did not give up your life. You just got rid of stuff that consumed time! ONE awesome place! Love it!

I'm a historian. My favorite period is 1830's American West. So I found a 900 sq ft house that I close down to 600 in the winter. I decorated it with memorabilia from the 1830's. I live what history taught me is a pioneer life. That's the point. Material needs are minimal. Store bought is minimal. Like then no banks in my life, no credit cards, not even a debit card. I have a checking account to clear my social security payment thru. In one corner I have a desk top computer to look out at the world and laugh at the insanity. Retired comfortably on 750 a month income. Pioneer lifestyle is cheap.

I love her!! I love her personality! She is so free ! Please do a update on her ! Please !

I love the colours and overall style of the decor, and finally, a bedroom that is bigger than a coffin. Most bedrooms in tiny houses are terribly claustrophobic. Here I see she sacrificed the ceiling height downstairs so she can have more space upstairs which is great. She's got plenty of space for a tiny house and a normal sofa. There are sofa beds with storage underneath which are still comfy, but many tiny house owners build benches that don't really look comfy or big enough for proper relaxing.

You need to stop listening to your friends, do and keep what you want!

Getting rid of the sofa would be a mistake. 1. nothing will be as comfortable; Foam does not come close. 2. In the spirit of downsizing, here you are, already planning on how to create more storage to have more stuff. Honestly there has to be something in your life that is not a compromise at all, whereas comfort is concerned. A very comfortable mattress and a very comfortable place to sit are hands down vital. 1 luxurious thing is more than 10 compromised things.

May I suggest something? I have done it in my kitchen. I cover the sink with a piece of wooden board when I am chopping veggies etc. And thus increase my counter space.

I love the configuration of this Tiny House. It looks spacious and the height of the lofts are not claustrophobic. I can't wait to see what you will do with the outside area and the changes you have planned for the inside. Thankyou for showing us your lovely home.

Yes, finally! Someone else who never uses her dishwasher. Love the house and your use of color. I'd probably halve (vertically) that huge window across from your kitchen so that I could have a long countertop under it. That'd give me a lot more countertop and still have a pretty big window that stretched the whole length of it.

Wow, I like this one a lot. The staircase is my favorite.

I love her home! The design, colors, furniture; pretty much everything. Awesome!

Oh My God, just seeing this. Would love to see the updates since this is from 2018. Love the element of surprise. The dark wood exterior is nice, but when you walk through those doors and you are welcome by all of that burst of color and clean angles, light and brightness, it's just joy. It automatically puts you in a great, happy mood. Love it! Please show us her updates.

I love Tiny Homes that keep the owner's personality in the design. Simply beautiful! I would love to see an update video once all the projects are done 💘

that's the prettiest tiny house ever.😁

I love that she shows her own style when decorating her tiny house; it is so beautiful!

Hands down, this is the best tiny house I've ever seen. Beautiful, functional, and spacious. LOVE the big windows and all the light. I like the realistic take Jody has of downsizing, and that she's able to admit it's not easy. This is a great tour, thank you Jody!!

Use black pipe for your safety rail. Extra floor padding under your tree house rug can double as sleeping space. Use a storage bench or cedar chest with casters as a kitty litter box that can double as seating at your flip down table. Just cut a pet size hole for cat to access...the lid lifts for easy cleaning. I love, love, love your tiny, well appointed home!

What an absolutely stunning house, and such a great tour as she talked about everything in the house -- why she bought it, what she uses it for, what it hides etc. Really really enjoyed this. Thanks, Jody!! And good luck with living in the house. I'm sure you will be there for many years. You couldn't ask for anything prettier or nicer :)

this is just wow amazing!! i have been binge watching tiny houses for 2 mths and i have to say this is the most welcoming , aesthetically pleasing , functional house i have ever been. LOVE LOVE the collapsible hook above the w machine , the colour scheme ( who knew black ceilling actually doesnt take that much height from the ceiling ). reading thecomments, i believe everyone here would love to see a video on your studio and also video on yourTiny after u have completed all your projects inside. we r just dying to see!!!

I like how she grew out her dyed hair. Love it

Beautiful home. Spot on with the color you painted your kitchen cupboards. Please make another video a year from now. Would love to see all your updates. Happy New Year!! ☆♡☆♡

Don't get rid of the sofa! So comfy looking

So refrershing to see a tiny houses with a decent comfy sofa! 👌

Me and my husband have a small home not so tiny. It's a 24' by 48' foot home. We are off grid we live on 5 acres, we have solar power and a wood burning stove. We love it.

Great house. It has storage and living space. Your artistic flair shows beautifully all over the place.

I don't agree with all your critics..( minor things obviously..) but love that you are a work in progress and working to improve the setting.. also love your positive attitude, it comes thru.

I had to move my daughter home as she was diagnosed with MS and needs lots of support. I created a self contained unit in my loft for her. One suggestion my builder made which has worked brilliantly is cutting boards that fit directly into the sink and over the hob, increasing counter spice. They slide sideways when the sink/hub are being used and cost very little to make.

When I build mine, I will call her "THE SHE SHED". So awesome , just beautiful!!

I love the rainbow elements of your design. One of the great things about paint is that it is easy to change if you feel the need!

There's something really funny about "I don't love to cook" but then mentioning you Le Creuset dishes! Mostly because I'm the same way

This is the ESCAPE ONE XL for everyone wondering. 388 sq ft Cheapest model is $70,000

I appreciate that she explained the progression from living in an 1,800 sf house to a 500 sf apartment to a Tiny House. Also, how she explained not to get rid of stuff all at once. And to wait until you move so you don't toss things you really want to keep.

Omg!!! Your home is gorgeous!!!👠👠👠

On of the best Tiny houses I've seen

Jody is a delight. It’s been a few years now- would love to see the progress she has made and hear about tiny living during COVID. Thanks for sharing.

Just started becoming obsessed with watching the tiny houses. Where cm I see more of this one? My favorite so far. Love the artistic style. 💕🧡💙💜💛

And congrats for the silver hair, like looks great!

Please do a follow up video with her 💖

Money makes all things possible--even tiny house creative ideas!

I love the classic telephones in all the primary colors, Wow , such a cute home ! Your aesthetics for design are very much like mine, thank you for sharing ;)

I love love your tiny house! You did an excellent job of presenting it!

What a gorgeous home! Love your aesthetic--eclectic and funky. I wouldn't change much either. Love the colors and your life philosophy. Definitely a great example of how the TH philosophy can be customized for each person. Thanks for this tour, Jody and THT!

Absolutely LOVE her design and colors!! Brings life to this tiny home! One day soon.... 🦋🦋🦋

I love her decorating style aesthetic. I could see myself in her design. Enjoy your space Jody.

She is a Rock Star ⭐️

Would love to see a follow up to this when everything is finalized. Also, why not lose the microwave and build a pull down shelf for your toaster oven? I want to see humpty in the dark too!

This might be the best tiny house I’ve seen. I love how she utilizes all of her space!

I am happy to see the positive comments on this video. I love her Tiny Home and it is cool to see how she has decorated it. It would be interesting to see what she has kept after a full year. Great video Chris.

Love your tiny house! It looks so roomy and the large windows are amazing and let a lot of natural light in

I love this tiny "home"....and especially the painting going up the stair case. Also, love all the colors...good job. Lets see more as you progress with other areas.

You have an absolutely beautiful home & a fantastic outlook on life. Thank you so much for opening up and allowing us a look into your world ❤

I love that she went into detail about everything!!

I love you tiny house it is beautiful, I want one but with the master bedroom downstairs!! ❤

Congratulations on your new House! I really like this house and the amount of work and good taste put in it. Tiny can come in many versions. It doesn't need to be DIY at any cost, especially if you have no building skill. I think that the owner is lovely and is able to make her own decision. Sometimes you need to put other people's opinions apart and go for what you really need for your happiness and of course, what you can afford according to your finances. If you still need to pay workers, even a DIY can become very expensive before it's finished.

"The only problem is, somebody can't come in the door now." Um that is a feature

The table in the living room does match

Great video! Lovely tiny with lots of storage ideas. The land use...wow!

This is one of my FAV tiny homes!!!! I LOVE Your artistically, modern home.☺️

I am absolutely astounded!! I have spent the last 3 hours reading your blogs I'm so sorry to hear about your bike accident I hope you are feeling better I pray for you I just want you to know I am going to keep reading your blogs and there's even a place that you can click on for older blogs thank you so much I took the personality test and you were right it is accurate it is scary and I've also agreed with you on the food stuff so thank you for making my lonely night during cauvet a much more enjoyable peaceful evening God-bless you and thank you if you ever see this if not God knows that you are a good person and I thank you for the donation for the homeless my son is homeless right now during cov 19 in venture a California I pray for him thank you again Kelly

Full of fun color's and "Lively" just like Jody. This house is amazing.

love the Japanese burning of the wood.....thank you

Anyone else spending time watching tiny homes while staying in place? This is the 3rd one with so much teal. love it!

I absolutely love her tiny house! its so beautiful .... I ike that every space is clearly defined and feels like an actual room! brilliantly beautiful!!!!!

I like it and she’s smart to add as she goes.

Yes had to heat tortillas finally someone admitted it!!!

Next to the sink, you could add a flip up counter top. It won’t interfere with the stairs, but be popped up when you need extra space. I find flip up counter tops to be very efficient!

It's a beautiful tiny home and I love what you did with it so far. Good luck on your renovations.

I feel everything is working in your tiny home Beautifully

Absolutely gorgeous! The tiny home was practical and lovely. The owner seems relaxed and friendly.

I want to see the outside when it is finished. I really enjoyed this. One of my top favorite tiny houses. 👏🏻❤️

I like it that her dishes are SQUARE. I’ve always liked the square shape from a design perspective, but in a tiny house, with space at a premium, the square FITS and utilizes every SQUARE inch of available space. So... what a great choice!

The short ceiling in the bedroom would just be a deal-breaker for me. I like the tiny house idea, but I cannot live with that short ceiling.

Love the decor of your house. Love love it!! I also love being surrounded by beautiful things and your home is beautiful.

This is the best tiny house I've ever seen. I absolutely love it!! If I ever owned and lived in a tiny house, it would have to be like this one.

Agree with the comments I have read. This woman's honesty and reflections were really refreshing and fun to listen to. She is clearly a thoughtful person and has created a lovely home and lifestyle. I wish her blessings and many years of happiness in her tiny!

Thank you for the tour of your lovely home.

I'm so in loooooooove with how she decorated. The color scheme 😍 ugh, the decor pieces, the rugs, the cabinet and furniture colors, the books... 🥰 #EverythingIsBeaut

I absolutely love what you've done so far, and am hopeful that you will share your progress as you go. Amazing colors and all of your pieces are meaningful and visually interesting. I love your style, thank you so much for sharing with us! I can't wait to see your art studio! You INSPIRE me!

Oh, beautiful! Love the combination of the clean, simple architecture and the colorful decorating scheme. And YES, to comfortable couches!

I just love this and your style.

Get a Casper memory foam bed...you will never regret the investment. Good back support, great sleep. This is the future of bedding.

Such fantastic sense of decor. Those phones, the giant paint neon, the African mask, the stuff behind the stove, the colored stairs, it all gives the place so much personality.

Love it! I am in the process myself from a 2800+ sq.ft. To my current apartment 480 sq.ft. To a form of a tiny home 2 years of saving and downsizing. I love the bright and colorful space!

I love this house ... but where did you get from? I want one like yesterday!

So cool!!! I just love this space and all the future plans

I love your tiny home! It's designed and styled so beautifully!

Amazing!! This is a beautiful!! I cant wait to see this all in a year and see all the changes!!!

By far one of my favorite tiny homes!! I *love* the homey touches of real furniture (instead of modular), the Persian rugs, the artwork, and all the colors. For me the second loft would be my closet and dressing area as one little closet would not work! Beautiful home, lovely lady, great and practical tips. Please post a follow up video when the deck and other projects are done.

I agree sheer should keep that sofa, unless she can find one like that with storage under it but must be just as comfortable!! As we get older comfort is key!

This is the nicest tiny house I have ever seen. I adore it! You have put so much of your artistic personality into it. I love everything about it and could happily move in and live there myself. So excited to see how you design the outside and I love your ideas of re-using your old bed frame. I have serious house envy. ♡

Such a colourful and vibrant space with everything that you could possibly need in a home. The self sufficient life is totally the way forward, and you’ve given us some great ideas for when we decide to move from the Vanlife into tiny house life! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful house. I love the colours inside. It’s extremely roomy 😊

Jody, I love your little home so, so much. I would love to have one, but have no land to put it on. It has been my dream since retiring, but now it is too late and Pennsylvania is not into tiny homes yet. I too am a second hand person. I find it fun to go and find clothing etc, for myself. so, I take a nice vacation in the spring with what i save. Enjoy and know that someone in PA loves what you did and is envious. 😊

I've watched a LOT of tiny house videos and the is by far the one i like the most

I love your style♡♡♡ The gray-beige ceilings feel tall and look perfect with the white. The vivid pops of color do just that POP!!!

Love the house. For an easy fix, I've used dyed fabric to make frame pictures to hide things (e.g., electric panels in the middle of a wall)--thinking of your closet door. There are some creative artists out there who dye fabrics, which are sold at some fabric shops. (Of course, you're an artist and will be doing your own, but others might find that helpful.) I live in the UK and so we have little closet space. I have one of those bars that you have in the bathroom hidden out of sight in the guest bedroom for extra hanging room for guests (hooks on the wall behind the door and then that). It's a great little device and would work well in many places. Some have two with a bar between to create a hanging rod when needed.
