VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
What makes Brandy's tiny house look so large? She has stunning 13 ft ceilings accented by full hanging curtains with large windows. Anything under 400 sq. ft is considered a "tiny home," and this build maximizes every inch of that! There are full-size appliances in the open kitchen, a bathroom with elevated height in the shower, a stackable washer/dryer, and a loft with windows allowing for the perfect sunrise.
A tiny house neighborhood offers a variety of homes and a like-minded society that shares similar ideas and a love for simplicity. This one in particular even has a community organic garden for all who live there!
She even prepares food and sets it out for neighbors to swing by with their own bowl and enjoy. Everyone needs a neighbor like Brandy!

This has been the most honest tiny home tour. I love that she told us what she didn’t like too. You watch these and people act like everything is perfect.

For them it probably is. It’s just not for her obviously.

There is a tiny home movement so people will push their agenda as do people who produce these types of videos tbh. The reality is, there are pro and cons to everything. Some people don't want to share what they don't like or even are manipulated to say certain things (not saying she or this channel

She admitted to having Parkinson's which I gathered from the tremor in her hand. It also means she has a flat affect. So even though she told us what she didn't like, and that it'll be an adjustment process I think over all she likes it and is hopeful for the future.

I love my tiny home, 480 square foot. The secret is use all the wall space for storage, wire shelving on the top corner, and if you don't have inside space, make outside space and if money is tight, do it little by little over time. I added a 400 square foot screened in back porch, 400 square foot carport, a 530 square foot covered fire pit awning, added a 200 square foot shed, then front and side courtyard fence to have privacy on the sides and have a open back yard view. I have added a project to my house every year with my tax return money since I built my house 11yrs ago. I love having about 12 friends over on weekends during the winter to enjoy the fire pit, my bbq or my gumbo and some drinks and relax. I can't entertain inside but I have a great outside space that everyone enjoys. oven top no stove, toaster air fryer oven, tankless heat on demand water heater for space saving, energy savings, and unlimited hot water. Screened in porches for year round use so no bugs. Even if you plan on moving your tiny home if you own a lot to have as its main spot you could make decks on 3 of the 4 sides that the tiny home trailer could park in between that way when you come home you have an attached porch with all around views. Also to add space inside you can make it outside. On those porches you can make outside kitchens, outside enclosed bathrooms, outside fire places/fire pits. If you feel cramped inside you can put it outside and basically use your inside for AC sleeping, and watching tv. When I fry food I use my fryers on my back screened in porch as to not heat up the house in the summer and to not smell up the inside with fried fish.

@camrunmaffew 2 года назад

I’m obsessed with how honest and candid she is. You can really tell she downsized and is not lying about a DAMN thing. Bless her

I said the same thing. Some of these people are so fake. They have like 10 kids crammed into one of these houses and act like it’s all sunshine and rainbows and everything thing is perfect. Just like with anything in life there’s pros and cons. I appreciated her honesty. I feel like I live in a tiny house right now! I can never imagine going smaller but I love watching for the design aspect and storage ideas.

There are a lot of native Texans just like her in that regard. I'm not going to say "just Texas" because Midwestern farm communities are similar, but I've met the most straightforward people from that state.

This is the first tiny house that I find appealing. Her high-end additions do make a difference. She did a fantastic job on the design: colors, shapes, textures--it's all there. I hope she can live here independently for many years.

@julielukert5097 Год назад

She has a great eye. I like the decisions she made.

@O0Salmon0O Год назад

Except for the busy tile pattern and the place would feel larger if she stuck with white draperies for the makeshift closet doors and storage spaces. The use of wood counters, flooring and shelves warms the space. It could have felt very mobil home-ish. Instead I am looking at her place and just thinking with a few things different it would be very comfortable. Tiny needs simplicity as there is a close limit before things look cluttered. Put the spices in a drawer or cabinet, the frig needs to be bare. The place lacks wall space and she does a good job of cluttering up every foot of wall there is.

I haven't watched all that many videos about tiny houses/homes but this is the first time anyone has mentioned the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and I was thrilled! Accessibility is the only way for people with disabilities to even consider a small/tiny home. Things like ramps, wide doors and halls, counter height, no-threshold showers, possibly a lift on a staircase, these are things that most elderly people would benefit from, as well. Ms. Beverly, I hope you will be able to stay in your lovely home for years. All the best to you!

This is so beautiful and I also love how REAL she was with her feelings. Her likes, dislikes.... the fact that she isn't " hyping" it up but rather straight shoots the entire aspect, is so very commendable and beautifully explained. It's not an " easy" process... mentally or physically, to change one's lifestyle and ways of living. So the fact that she is so clear about giving oneself Grace and have discernment about the transition into " Tiny Home Living", is so important. Her transparency is so honest and appreciated. It obviously is an adjustment.. but one that is both mental & Physical ( since she has a "Progressive" Autoimmune Disorder). I also have an AD, so this is so appreciated. I'm still so very interested as well.😊 I thank her so very much for an amazing, unique and wonderful tour of her Beautiful Tiny Home and Life!! God bless her for her selflessness in being so humble and generous to her neighbors/ family She's clearly made a difference and I'm certain if asked, her neighbors most likely "adore & appreciate" her kindness and friendship. I wish her so much happiness in her continued transition & amazing " New Journey & Chapter " of her life. Thank you, Grazie, Gracias for sharing your lovely home life with us. 🙏🏻✝️💜🇺🇲🧚‍♀️ 🏡

@@lindajones8253 --- unlike a lot of people who have been interviewed, Brandi is not afraid to openly discuss the challenges of downsizing, which are not all pleasant. Remember, Brandi lived her life surrounded with sizeable works of art - giving that up after 50+ years isn't easy. Memories and people are strongly associated with any personal collection. It is very clear she will continue to tinker & change some things about her tiny until it feels right ...and that's something not mentioned in a lot of tiny builds. With age, we deepen a knowledge how to prioritize personal preferences. She's been here longer, so the adjustments are more obvious to her. Look at her craft studio! It's meticulously organized. She has sewn covers for her moveable shelves. Avoiding visual clutter is important to her. By contrast, I appreciate seeing textures, colors, and glimpses of the contents of my cupboards; it's a matter of personal preference, which is always very subjective. I admire her honesty.

After watching this video years ago, I was so moved by her open honest account of maturing life and how to manage the things we collect as we travel through our years. I really felt like she gave me the permission I didn't know I needed, to purge the excess in my life and still grieve for those things - all the while reaping the benefits of a more minimal life.

I LOVE that this video took its time. She was able to really elaborate on each room (likes/dislikes) and that she is mourning but dealing with loss of material items. I also feel that we heard her story of how and why she went tiny and that’s nice as well. I agree with her feelings on the backsplash, nice in theory but closes off the room and takes away depth. She was really wonderful and thoughtful. ☺️

I wish I could afford something like that. I’m in a 100 apt hi rise, 11 floors, for the elderly. I’m very lucky, I’m in a corner apt. I have an awesome view from the 11 floor. But I miss my own space. I’m sure you understand.I wish you well and I’m sure your very contented there. May God Bless and watch over you always.🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🦋

It’s amazing how we can change when there’s a need/ desire, and get used to it - even to like/love/enjoy it. We so often get set in our ways, thinking everything has to be just so. I’ve been married for 25 years and moved 17 times. With that many moves you don’t really get attached to very many things.

Thank you for opening your home and for your honest thoughts regarding tiny home living. I would like to explore the possibility of tiny home living when I retire. Your are absolutely right when you mentioned on how it "hurts" to give away something that was one hundred dollars and so forth. As I reflect on my life, I wish that I could not have purchased some unnecessary items, we really do not need a lot of material things to live. Early this summer, I started to "semi-purge" and it really baffles the mind on the many things I could have avoided purchasing. I wish you all the best. Take care.

Love the Orange Recliner... Love the ceiling height and all of the light. I think I would go with a smaller stove top and a Air Fry Oven instead of a full range. Also I would put in a floor to ceiling Pantry instead of a split Cabinetry. I personally would not want a stair case but this stairway is exceptionally nice. Does the Dryer come with the option of being vented? Love the Bath... so sweet. I would like a walk in tub/ Shower though ... Shelf in bath us so pretty. I personally would have kept the working fireplace and would have made other options for more books as I am a book person as well. These Tiny homes sure have stepped up their game... So Nice.

You have an amazing tiny house! I built one for my son last year, but much smaller, so I can see all of the details and thought process that you have put into yours with your layout. One thing I noticed, was when you mentioned that your shower was not hot enough. That was the first complaint from my son about his tiny house. If you take the handle off of your shower, you should see an adjustment in there to adjust the hot water valve. They come from the factory with a safety temperature setting where someone won't get scalded. You can usually do a quick internet search for your shower faucet brand, and find the instructions for adjusting the internal water valve. I adjusted my son's, in about 2 minutes, and no more luke warm showers. If you are handy, then you can do it yourself, no need to call a plumber. Just thought I would share that, because I experienced the exact same issue, and no one wants to take barely warm showers.. Once again, we love your house!

One of the best tiny homes I’ve seen in terms of not feeling too small. I would have eliminated the loft area to have higher ceilings throughout.

This is my ideal retirement home! I have already purged myself of excess material stuff and now I can fit everything I own in a pickup truck.
