She Sleeps in a Piano!? Victorian TINY HOUSE Tour for Retirement 

Fari Wu me either

She's such a sweet lady!😍✨😍

so wholesome and sweet xD

Fari Wu--About 30 or so years ago, there was an interview with Lucille Ball. She liked to recline on an antique sofa (she had REAL antiques) in her home. She hung a painting sideways so that she could enjoy looking at it when she reclined on the sofa.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I thought it was a beautiful touch, very clever! She's an awesome lady, it makes my soul happy to see people living the life they want and being totally at peace, I can almost feel her happiness while watching this! ❤

The dresser made into a closet is very impressive. I did not know pianos turned into beds back in the day. Shorty is a charming lady.

it warm and cozy. it’s homey. I love old wold style.

@Bob, I agree she is so cute! I want her for my neighbor! She didn't say where the a/c was though, lol!

I think it's because it's a museum that's entirely livable. It's totally unique!

Yes!!! The house is awesome and so is she.

I couldn't have said it any better.

Kevin Wilcox - I totally agree Kevin. I have seen 1000's of tiny houses and I always say oh that was my all time fav. But when I saw this one. . . .I fell in love!!! It is THE MOST amazing tiny house I have ever seen and the lady has infused her love throughout the whole place and it shows. Beautiful indeed. Michelle

Kevin Wilcox DITTO!!

Same

Same. The best . It's actually very functional too .but I wish it had a little bigger bath . But it's fine.

Sameeeee! Omg it's sooooo livable but homely and lovely! She hides everything so well and storage is absolutely adorable!

I want a Piano bed

It was incredible!

Tiny House Giant Journey not me! 😂

Never heard of a piano bed. This house is awesome. She is very creative!

I didn't. This is in fact a totally awesome way to incorporate a piano in your tiny house.

I have done C.W.Renactment. Her closet is too small for any garb!

@@healinggrounds19 I work for NOAH, the original Tiny Home Inspection & Certification Company, and have so since 2015. I can tell you that in my experience, Tiny Homes have hidden storage just about everywhere. Just because you don't see an abundance of it hilighted during the video tour, that does not mean it doesn't exist. Some of the unconventional storage methods employed in (let's say Tiny Houses, for this example) that I have seen include but are not limited tp the following; Under-floor Storage (main floor & loft both), Some ppl build a cabinet around their 3/4 sized fridge and raise it for convenience, by putting a drawer underneath that matches the optional encapsulating cabinet. Same premise with regards to under-cabinet drawers. Also, there is undermounted Storage (primarily welded to trailer undercarriage) and Storage can also be incorporated into a 'hitch shed' or cantilevered structure added to the home,. You can also find additional storage inside of the furniture! I have even seen storage pop down from the kitchen ceiling, in-between the loft floor joists. I appreciate your expertise in total garb rate times available storage volume mass, I just wanted ppl to know that there are an infinite number of ways to incorporate additional storage into your future Tiny Home, in case you also happen to be a fan of both Tiny's and Civil War Reenactments. :)

As someone who’s an old soul and collected antiques since I was 14, that makes me physically ill

Suzette Sanborn how dare they ruin the charm or an old house! When I can afford a house, and legally buy one! I want it to be historical, and when I have enough money a french chateau!

It may seem strange, but, I don't like the huge open space of the modern design. I want it to feel spacious, but, I like my kitchen large but separate with a pantry. I love the Parlor and a dining room with a swinging door. Yeah, I like the separate cozy places.

It IS really sad to see larger, older homes cut up to be apartments, or otherwise changed. I'd love to have a Victorian home with big rooms and large windows.

This UGA Dawg forgives her, too(lol!) She seems like SUCH an interesting person. I'd love to meet her.

Wimsem - Tekenen & Knutselen id literally just keep it open and watch tv LOL

Anne Mumford I’ve never been able to join a re-enactment (nobody really does it in my county aside from the SCA), but that does sound like a hassle, thanks for the warning! I guess I’ll have to get my tiny house built first...

Venus Gillespie. It's more of a hassle if you're a vendor because you have all your gear plus merchandise to sell. If you're not a vendor, try to keep your things pared down. Some camps are pretty elaborate. We do 1840's time period. No hoop skirts for me! Our motto is if it doesn't fit in an expanded cab pickup truck with an 8 foot bed, it doesn't make it on the gear list. An enclosed trailer with a drop down ramp is the best. That way you can build shelves in it and you can use a hand cart to unload the big stuff like the wood stove we use in cooler months. When you start getting up in middle age climbing in and out of a truck bed is no fun, so we'll be looking at a trailer in the next couple years. Just don't bring enough gear to outfit three camps just to look cool. Pare down to essentials. Pioneers fit everything in a covered wagon, and they weren't as big as prove think.

I meant on the last sentence they the wagons weren't as big as people think. I'm not the best at typing some days.

Anne Mumford re-an actor. I'm high.

I have lattice that fits around the base of the house at reenactments, so unless you look close, you can't see it's on wheels. At least once at each event, someone says "this house wasn't here last week, you must have built it fast"..

Lisa Adams, I cherish that painting! Thank you so much!

Sherri Robinson I also remember this house from show! I was looking in the comments hoping to see someone else from the show haha

It's so exciting when that happens isn't it? I was beyond myself with excitement that day. My daughter was so sweet to surprise me by taking me to the show.

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you! Yes, I was at a reenactment that weekend and loaned my house to HCC for their event. Thanks for visiting!

Heidi Lueck I hope you find a way!

Heidi Lueck , maybe make a bed that drops above the piano?

Sleep on top of the grand when it’s folded down, perhaps? I don’t know, you’d need a sturdy lid...my music teacher actually uses the top of his piano as a table, maybe you could do that?

This is my problem too! Could prolly only be able to afford a tiny home, but i want to have space for a baby grand too!

on the voice they do a tiny baby grand

@Speaking Truth--I spotted one in an "antique" shop near my home, but at the time I didn't have enough money for it. When I went back for it, it was gone. I really shouldn't complain. I got some really nice pieces from that shop over the years. None of them are true antiques, but they are nicer than the flakeboard/particleboard pieces available in most stores today.

Coleen Hilton that sounds lovely

You should post a video to show it off!

I sure would love to see pictures of it!!!

Oh sounds gorgeous post a video we would all love it xx

Laura Erwin amazing house you are a very clever lady : cheers from Melbourne Australia

Janetta Schuch - because I was holding him :) I tried to put him down or hand him off to someone and he was totally obnoxious! So he got lots of air time... He's a brat, but he's my baby.

Shorty Robbins -- cute.

Kat Naps They have other tiny house builds with more space and bigger bathrooms. Just do a search.

you do you boo

jacijune I have looked at tons of plans and yea you’re right some have bigger bathrooms but than another space is smaller. I however have taken some of the concepts of tiny living and used it in a smaller house. These tiny houses has great storage ideas.

It's refreshing to see people sharing their separate options with respect. Great job guys.

I hadn't planned on living in it while I was building it, that kind of evolved... I would definitely have made the bathroom bigger if I had known I'd be using it for more than camping!

Rabbit Shane I used to think that too, but I live pretty comfortably with my partner, two partial freeroaming rabbits, and a guinea pig. It's all about having a good yard, tiny/elderly pets that are low activity, or tank animals, if you want pets in a tiny home.
