She Turned This Abandoned Hut Into A Dream Woodland Cabin

Nestled into a beautiful backdrop of the Tasmanian forest lies Lucy’s charming cabin. Originally built by her parents in 1994 as their very first family home, the hut fell into disrepair. After years of neglect, and eventually abandonment, Lucy, working together with her father lovingly restored the old shack and it became, once again, an idyllic woodland cabin home.
This is a home that has an incredible amount of heart. Lucy was born in this hut and all of her earliest memories of home were created in this place. Being given the chance to restore the cabin and make it her own space to create memories in as a young adult is a dream come true.
Her home is the absolute definition of coziness. Idyllically located amongst towering trees and a meandering stream, stepping into this home immediately invokes a feeling of warmth and comfort. An oversized wood stove keeps the home toasty warm. The interior is a collection of art, memories and pre-loved items. It’s filled with art and curiosities which make every part of the home interesting.
In crafting this home together with her father, Lucy has learned valuable skills that will last her a lifetime. Skills that she hopes to use again to build a tiny home for herself in the future. Until then though, this home has become a sanctuary for her. A place to create her art and a place which gives her freedom to pursue her life passions.
We hope you enjoy the tour of this magical woodland cabin. A place with a deep sense of home. You can follow Lucy's cabin journey on Instagram: / lucy.river.goose

Lucy’s cabin is absolutely charming. Already filled with a lifetime of memories, this is a beautiful place with a lovely story behind it. We hope you enjoy the tour! Thank-you for watching! With Love, Bryce & Rasa

What a lovely, happy space!! And what a wonderful world it would be if everyone found the same passion and joy for their living environment as this charming woman! It's so touching to see Bryce's respect and genuine enthusiasm on this tour! ❤xo from Canada

It's so refreshing not to have a super-styled living space for once but something really comfortable. I love it.

@angeladawn805 20 дней назад

Not only did Dad build an excellent cabin back in '94 - he's also built an awesome relationship with his daughter - who's turned out pretty awesome herself. I love these videos, as it's NOT just about the house 😍

@beazleteats4031 20 дней назад

She is an "old soul"...she imbues such warmth & kindness and it shows how she's left all those special memories in her home. It would have been so easy to rip the guts out of the space and make it minimalistic. But in preserving all those past residents artworks etc, she's made a wonderful home & meeting place for fellow creatives. Bless her.

@DawnOldham 20 дней назад

I noticed immediately that this was a well-loved and lived in home, not a showcase. It was neat, tidy and clean, but it was an eclectic gathering of items with stories and lots of love flowing through them. I loved hearing her say that she would like to have her first child there (or be living there when she brings the baby home from the hospital?). She so grounded. I could totally imagine sitting down for a chat and a cup of tea and enjoying a pleasant time with her in her home!

This is so authentic rugged and natural. I forgot one uncensored. It's truly a home. Bryce Thank You for showing Lucy's abode.

@pawprintsjersey5787 20 дней назад

I like her free kindred spirit. Beautiful soul inside out. Love your home. Knew u had a cat some where. Then it showed up. Always something magical about the presence of a cat ❤. Really quaint rustic home. Your right down my street ❤

@chetleonard169 20 дней назад

How great that she could do this, and with your Dad helping. she'll cherish it forever.

@sianthesheep 20 дней назад

It's not against anyone who likes that aesthetic in their tiny house, but that white minimalist decors so many have can make them seem almost interchangeable - where as this is hers, and could only be hers , it is so imbued with her spirit and life and past. As a failed sentimental minimalist myself I love her cosy higgledy piggledy aesthetic!

@janeyoung4844 20 дней назад

Love it ❤ It's not a house it's a home . Everything she has ,has a place ,a connection It's her life Freedom ❤

@janetclaireSays 20 дней назад

This is such a cozy cabin and with the family history it kind of feels like a pioneer home! I love the singing too!

@lianeabeyta4515 19 дней назад

How blessed for anyone to have a cabin on their parents land to create and envision such a beautiful personal home. To be nestled in this woodland setting is what dreams are made of. Her aesthetic is so authentically her. I love a home that no one else has. When she said she thinks of herself as a bird... I always call decorating "feathering my nest". The night time view of the open mike nights looked absolutely magical with all the lights and fire pits and friends and music and love. At 73... reminds of the 60's. Good times and good friends. How special to share this sanctuary with other kindred spirits. Oh my.... her voice at the end singing... more,, more,, more!

As someone who loves tiny old houses, and everytime I see a derelict one I want to bring it back to life, I absolutely love what Lucy has done with her cabin! It is so warm and inviting, homey and unique. How fortunate to have such an amazing history with your home! Bryce and Rasa, if half of your videos were transformations like these, I would be in tiny home heaven! This cabin reminds me a lot of my own home here in Canada - my wood stove is almost exactly the same, and my place is uninsulated too. I have an outhouse and an outdoor shower though I don't have running water. I just love the lifestyle - close to nature and truly "real." Thanks to Lucy for sharing her home, and to you guys for bringing it to us!

@lilykatmoon4508 20 дней назад

What a wonderfully bohemian and magical space she has created for herself. For many of these tiny homes, I enjoy the layouts and creative storage, etc, but find them kind of plain. I definitely vibe with this woman’s style and aesthetic choices. I think it’s wonderful that she has a loving, supportive family situation and can who connect with her own family history through the renovation of that cabin! I wish her all the success in her hopes for her future and really appreciate her sharing her vibrant home with us ❤

@aa-kh9ex 20 дней назад

Lovely place, but again it is another property on family land. Land for a tiny home is always the biggest issue, but it is always glossed over on the videos on this channel. Building a tiny home on land your family own is much less of challenge than having to start from scratch. Most of the people on this channel are privileged by having a combination of having family land they can use, a parent skilled in construction, and/or having access to a workshop. I like this channel a lot, but it does not reflect the life that the majority of us experience.

I love you.

How fantastic to meet these wonderful people showing us their beautiful homes, and Bryce you are such a fabulous interviewer, so respectful. Thank you!

@robyn4188 11 дней назад

This lady brings a different ethic to home building/ renovating/ creating. The importance of a landing pad bring security and yes, freedom without the pressure of having to work to pay rent or mortgage. Freedom to always have a base and more importantly a tangible home to return to. Home with roots. The place you grow up in hopefully provides a space of comfort, stability. This lady has created her home centre so early in life. Allowing her energies to flow far and wide from this home centre, filled with meaning. ❤

@aaratijoly1067 20 дней назад

@jennyc1846 18 дней назад

Ah Lucy as soon as I saw that Paddymellon and the bush I knew exactly where you were without even reading Bryce's intro...lived in the Midlands for 10 years and explored as much of Tassy bush as we could...aren't those waterfalls gorgeous?? Love your cute cabin and your ethos for life. So glad you got to follow the family history and add to it yourself, and I DO HOPE your brothers pick up the reins and run with them... I also look forward to your next adventure. Maybe your next Tiny Home will be in NZ... One thing I do miss about Tas are those awesome Tip Shops we bought alot of stuff from them ourselves over time and for a pittance too. Love the way you decorated 'hippy style' with all of the 70's colours...that orange bedspread is divine.. even at 70 and now living in WA I still have those mirrored bags, cushions, pouffe's etc in my home... BTW don't ever worry about what other people think, do your own thing for yourself. Good luck with your future endeavours...I hope the creek flows soon, I hear Tas is in drought at the moment but then its not the lush green state that mainlanders imagine, that's long gone with the apple trees. love and hugs from WA. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for finding another Tassy gem.. Not everyone lives minimalistically (is that a word) Lucy you have to surround yourself with what warms your heart. I personally think minimal living is a cold way to live, if you look at some of these young couples who have these modern flats with no nick knacks, no colour, no memories, no family photos etc in their homes all they are doing is living in a show home going to work then returning to this cold barren cave with no memory of family who may be far away, no hobbies, no art, just friends who come to eat and drink and talk abut work...cold cold cold!! Family is the core of every home or it should be...spread your love and teach others how its done.

West Texan here. Beautiful young woman. Love your memories. Love the windows and location. Love that your close to your parents.

@yvettepugin4035 19 дней назад

Lucy is a fabulous hostess. Her passions shine through brightly and she is like a beacon of hope, abundant with joy. Her love and gratitude for her parents is wonderful to observe. She now has skills taught by her dad that she can utilise in future and pass down to her kids one day. The house is her dream and her happiness has come full circle through its construction.

Great cabin...on Tasmania no less! I'm seeing sooo many more of these all over, lots in the US, Britain, and elsewhere. People are downsizing, recycling, and learning to live on less, and that's so great! People are trying to give back to the earth and environment, and I hope it continues! Love your Mother!

And its so special to share it with the Australian wildlife as well! Theres nothing else like it! 🥰🥰🥰

@Jillysmom63 20 дней назад

When I was in my esrly 20's I lived in a little place like this next to a creek but I think mine might have been smaller. It had one very small bedroom and a room that was more like a large closet but we built some bunk beds for my 2 kids who were really little. The bed took up most of the room but you could walk around 2 side of the bed and they had a small dresser. We also had horses ( still do 45 years later) It also had a really big wood stove which was our only heat. The kids had rabbits dogs cats nad later chickens. It was ru down and drafty but we fixed up a lot of it, built some things in and had a lot fo fun there. Its cute!

@mmsmits2868 20 дней назад

I definitely get that connection. I grew up in an old farmhouse in The Netherlands that my dad worked for two decades to convert into a home. In early 90s I was 21, still living at home (which was not unusual), and my dad and I worked together to turn an unused attic into an apartment for me. My future wife moved in with me and we were there when we got married. Got to see the house a few years back and they were still using it as a room for their two daughters to hang out. Building with your parents creates lifelong memories. Great video.

@clairelaker7153 18 дней назад

It's a HOME - I'd say a 5 star home! Imagine if you just came across it on a walk - it would have you walking up to the windows looking in and sighing with pleasure. It's enchanting filled with stories to tell. Lucy, you are a star, I hope you fly high and life abounds with experiences that fill your mind with memories to reflect on later in life.

This is such a warm and inviting home. Lucy seems to be one of those people who wholeheartedly loves life and all the possibilities and her house reflects that with the collection of art and curios she has gathered over time. It's great that she was able to rescue the old cottage and update it into a unique home that fits her needs perfectly.

@kathrynletchford5114 20 дней назад

This chic, is my favourite. She is soo natural. There is nothing pretentious about her, or the house.

@AREDEE365 3 дня назад

Nice to have a dad like that. The fatherless are suffering, and no one there for them. No one even has empathy for them let alone help them.

@Jesse-ce8ti 17 дней назад

It's refreshing and inspiring to see more than just the classic THOW in this video. On top of that, I'm excited to have an episode that, in my view, honours the early days of this movement, when tiny houses were self-built and costs were well under $50K (well under). Living in houses, we are so used to having amenities in easy reach, but I have found that life can be pretty comfortable when your house serves its function, but might be just a tin roof over an open deck. A kitchen could be a wood slab on top of two saw horses, with a bucket for a sink. That bucket could be copper, to add some aesthetic. Outdoor showers get you just as clean as any other.

@kevinmcgrane4279 19 дней назад

She mentioned having pot-luck dinners and I thought “What a great description of her home! Rather pot-luck: a combination of things that turn into wonderful comfort food.” She and her home are delightful.

IT was delightful to see an affordable and realistic tiny home- so many are super expensive and obviously not everyone can afford those. What a blessing to have her parents let her live here and her father to help with the remodel. Luck lady!! She will be a wonderful steward of this land...now and in the future.
