It gives the room a little more personality and very cheap ❤️ At Hobby Lobby they have weekly sales and if I remember correctly, I think they were on sale. Love a bargain. LOL. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment😊💕
I know these day they are building more downstairs bedrooms. I think the ones with a gooseneck are nice and you can stand up in your bedroom. Something to think about if you are thinking about going Tiny❤️ I thank you for watching and commenting ❤️😊💕
I just love the white washed walls, the white painted trim, and your blue gray painted door and how you made the stairs and door match. It's so cute ❤️
Thank you Deloris! Bringing in some color changed the entire look of the space! Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment😊❤️ I hope you have a great week 💕
So beautiful how you left the beetle killed pine in the bathroom and ceilings. and used whitewash to preserve the imperfections and let the blue grey shine through. Wonderful use of accent paints to compliment and tie back to the pine…your home is full of your own personal touches. Makes if feel warm ad welcoming 💜😎
Thank you Lizzie. I am very happy how my vision turned out. It was a process. I did not tackle it all at once except the whitewash. I did not want to move in until that was done. I had the home maybe 2 weeks before I moved in. I think. LOL. The imperfections give it character and I love that the wood they used was not perfect and had knots and imperfections. I hope in showing what I have done will give others ideas of how just a simple thing like accenting a wall or trim with paint or using beautiful peel and stick tiles can bring the room to life. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and watching! I hope you have a great week!❤️🙂
Hi Brenda! Another great video! You did a great job on your house. The whitewashing made a huge difference for sure. You were brave to get up so high and tackle those beams! I used to love to paint my homes and even do faux finishes back in the day. But by the time I get my tiny house I’ll be too old to be able to do all that. I’ll have to hire it done. But I can’t wait! Plan to retire in 4 years and I’m collecting ideas. So fun!
Hello Brenda🙂 I did ask my builder to whitewash but in 2019 they were going to charge 4, 000 to do that. I thought "I have upgraded enough" LOL and it was something I knew I could do. It was my first attempt to do whitewash and it was a learning curve. I ended up just painting a small area and immediately wipe it off and that gave me to look I wanted. At Lowes a lady told me to dilute the paint and I did that at first but it was bubbling and drying awful. My technique is very messy but it worked. LOL. The beam was a little scary. I just took my time and concentrated on what I was doing to prevent falls. One bad fall can change your life forever. It was more scary cleaning my gutters. LOL. I'm excited for you Brenda and so happy retirement is only a few years away. I look forward to owing my own time. I can't think of anything better other than spending it close to a beach and looking for seashells. HaHaHa.❤️🏖️🙂 Have a good week. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate you!!!
Thank you so much Nancy. I love sharing my Tiny with you All ❤️ Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate you All! I hope you have a great week😊❤️
Hi Brenda! Your personality really shines through in all the changes you’ve made to your home. I would have to say the thing I love most is the cathedral window with the mini loft. How fun it must have been to collect and decorate your space. Would love to see more before pictures. God bless you.
Thank you Brenda. The before pictures give you a better visual of how dramatic the changes have made. It's amazing how simple things can make a difference. I love the way the cathedral window turned out and how painting the grey to the inner part of the window gave it depth. It is such a peaceful look. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment!❤️🙂
Thank you Lynne. I looked at so many tiles. LOL. I don't know if you are like me, but I search and search until something speaks to me and you just know that is the perfect thing you are looking for. So easy to do and makes such a big change. That's why I did the before and after to help give the visual of the impact even small changes make. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!❤️🙂
Thank you. It really brightened up the space, and makes it look bigger too❤️ I think beach colors are happy colors. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. 😊💕⭐️
Hi Brenda, WOW! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the changes and additions you have made since I saw your first video (which was beautiful, very nice and pleasant, also.) You are very creative, and I like your style and colors you have used. Your home is soooo cozy and welcoming. Thank you for sharing. God bless you. 🙏🤩
Thank you so much. I think the colors are happy and inviting. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. I love making them for you All😊💕I hope you have a great week. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
What great ideas ! Love the white wash walls,love the 2 pictures of Jesus you have. And GREAT IDEA putting those doors on where you steps are. I just love your taste, I guess because I have the same taste. Your tiny home is so lovely, homie and warm makes you wanna stay there not even go out😉 oh I like your pictures you have line all the way around of family. 🤗♥️♥️
Thank you so much! The picture of Jesus was my Grandmothers. When she passed I only wanted 2 things and that was one of them. I have looked at that picture my whole life. It’s very comforting❤️ i had to downsize my pictures a lot but still surrounded by my loved ones faces 😊 when designing the Tiny I added the shelves just for my pictures ❤️💕 thank you for always leaving a comment and watching. I look forward to reading them every week. ❤️😊💕
@@simplylivingtiny you welcome ! I don’t comment much. But I like you and what you are doing. I like to help those who are starting a channel but I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for saying where you got your curtains they look so good in there. I would love to have a tiny home in Florida. We take our camper there for the winter months. Stay for 3 months. I think of you and your tiny house “ thinking that would be nice there” 😉💕
Yes it would. The Tiny House Movement is still going strong and there are places all over the US that accommodate tiny homes. I can see myself in a tiny home community one day. Hopefully close to the beach 🏖️
@@sue9252 Wonderful. Happy you got some ideas from the video. Would love to hear what changes you plan on making. 😊❤️ Thanks for watching and commenting!!!!😊💕
Alot of great ideas! We are getting ready to do the drywall on my tiny house. I'm doing a celestial theme. I'm going to find some light switches with stars and moons on them!!!
I love that idea ❤️ little personal touches gives your home personality and reflects who you are and the thing that brings you joy❤️😊💕⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment ⭐️⭐️⭐️
They work so great and what a great idea to use them in your cupboards. A quick easy and inexpensive fix! ❤️ I would love to one day have a van build and use it to travel. It’s on the bucket list! Thanks for watching and commenting and Happy Travels❤️😊⭐️💕
Wow I didn’t know we could change the switch board plates and those are very adorable nice find Brenda. Also is that a dehumidifier on the wheel well? 😊
Changing the switch plate is easy. Just a little screw to remove and change it out for your new one. No electric involved. LOL.On my wheel well I have my ice maker. My mom got that for me for Christmas a few years ago. I do have a dehumidifier in the bathroom. I'm planning on doing a ventilation video in the future. Something that is very important to be aware of in a Tiny. Thank you for watching and commenting!❤️🙂
The way I did my whitewash is probably not proper but I would paint a small area and immediately wipe it off. That way you can still see the wood grain. So it’s painting but you don’t do it for a complete coverage. 😊 Thank you for watching and leaving a comment ❤️ if you decide to whitewash let me know how it goes 😊 thanks for watching and commenting!
Such a good video, Brenda. It was such a blessing to find your channel a couple weeks ago, while I’m awaiting my tiny home build. I’m getting lots of ideas from you. First let me say you’ve done a fabulous job by picking a theme and color scheme and keeping it cohesive throughout. I will definitely be using your idea for tiles on the backs of the steps up to the loft. Mine will be white when it comes, which is just asking for scuff marks. How long did your build take. We are 3 weeks in and I talked to the sales rep the other day and the walls and electrical are all in. They are getting ready to paint the outside.
Oh how exciting! I remember dreaming of how it will feel to live in my little home❤️ It took 3 months. I was amazed it was so quick and sounds like you will get yours very soon. I’m happy the ideas and things I’m sharing is helping you. If you are like me and not a carpenter you don’t really know everything you need to think about. I’ve learned a lot since getting my Tiny. Please keep me updated on your build. Do you know where you are going to park your home? I look forward to hearing from you. 😊❤️💕 I hope you have a good week😊
I painted the cabinet doors my Uncle put up. Goodness, I don’t remember the name of the color. I’ll look and see if I still have the paint and let you know😊
Thank you so much Kathleen! My builder is Tumbleweed Tiny House and I have a 30’ Elm Pacific. In saying that I did change the floor plan. I don’t know if you have seen the video where I discuss resources but if you haven’t I talk about it in more detail in that video and discuss the process and the very special tiny home journey book they made me specifically to my tiny. Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment 😊❤️
I got them on Wayfair. They are called Drift Away. I love the colors and they go well with my colors in the home. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊💕
Hello Linda from GA! 😊 so nice to meet you! My home in 8.5 feet wide and 30 ft long. In 2019 it cost 109,0000. Back in 2019 30 ft was considered large but I know these days they are much larger. Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️😊 I hope you have a great week/weekend💕
I love that mug. My Aunt got that for me during Covid pandemic. During the time I worked at a Rehab Facility and then Correctional Facility. I'm don't work as CM or UR. I work on a nurse advice line for an insurance company. My role is very similar to a CM but I don't follow the people for a period of time. I work on an inbound line. So we try to resolve the issue then but if not we can refer to CM. I love working from home compared to facilities. The stress is less but it's still there. Are you a nurse? Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and commenting!❤️
Another great video. Love the white washed walls and your colors of blues and brown/wood tones. Great idea on the knobs too. Your home is so inviting and cozy. I’m also a nurse. I work insurance denials for WVU Medicine. I’d be curious if you could share how and why you started a RU-vid channel. You do a great job 🥰
@@simplylivingtiny Yes I am a nurse and I want to work from home so bad. Right now I'm not in a ideal situation to work from home. So im trying to get a tiny house or a small house so that I can finally buy a home and work from home. I don't want to physically have co workers anymore. Too many bullies in the hospital.
@@glassgloss I have noticed the past 10 years working in a facility bullying is too common. I experienced bullying for 4 years and when I finally got enough nerve to call to report it, nothing happened. I’m sorry you are going through that. I will share with you getting a job from home is very difficult. I tried for years and I would not even get a denial email. I recommend going through Marie Pepper’s course. You can find her on FB. It is an online course specifically teaching you skills and resume support to get the job you are looking for to work from home. You take it at your own pace and something to think about doing know so you will have it behind you and ready to send out resumes😊❤️ if you need any more info, let me know 😊
@@simplylivingtiny That is so kind of you to share that with me. You made me kinda tear up a little a bit. I don't want to be rich, all I ask for is a tiny house and a wfh job. Again thanks for being so kind.
