VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Vicki is a retired massage therapist that took ten years to downsize from an 1800 sq ft home to 650, then 450, and now less than 200 sq ft. Her 8 1/2 ft wide tiny house has ten massive windows allowing natural light to accent the handmade crafts and local artwork that decorate her interior.
This tiny home has a quaint kitchen with a farmhouse sink, convection stovetop, a full fridge, and a lazy susan that allows easy access to the deep cabinet spaces. The bathroom serves its purpose with a toilet, small sink, and 32" shower. She has a washer/dryer combo stored under the stairs that lead up to an adorable loft. The upstairs area has a full bed and some storage but primarily acts as her puppy's palace.
The outside is Vicki's favorite spot as there's a deck built overlooking a gorgeous view! Her outdoor shower faces nothing but the birds and completes the entire feel of a tiny home in nature.

Please show another video when the guest room is done. You should make the new guest room into your bedroom & make the upstair's bedroom into a guest room! Love how you decorate!👏🤗
She is the first honest tiny living person I’ve seen! She tells you exactly what it’s live and doesn’t sugar coat it.
I absolutely got some amazing advice from her! No loft bed cause changing sheets is bad. ventilation on bathroom: very important. Stair storage with covers: got it. A nice deck with an outside shower? AMAZING I love your advice!!

and you have to scoot around on your knees when going to bed or when waking up. kneeling is ok if its carpeted. I noticed her loft was bare floor. Ouch! Bad on the knees
I love that she’s lived in her tiny home for a while and found things that didn’t work out or needed to be added.

Yes... rather than ppl who've been in their's for 3months.
I love how practical and real she is about tiny house living. I want her to organize my life.
With that addition if that was me I'd make that my bedroom vs the loft. If you are only having guests every once in awhile let them use the smaller loft space instead and if you have someone who can't use the stairs then do a switcheroo for their visit. Jasper is a cutie and I LOVE that outdoor space.

This is one of my favorites because the bathroom & kitchen are NOT side-by-side. In my world those are two rooms that should NEVER be in close proximity to each other.
Lovely home and lady. And, her dog brings her the best company no doubt, three dog beds are well worth the unconditional love. Though, I believe if I were her, I would take the new bedroom being built, as she said she doesn't overly enjoy the loft and would have changed that if she had it to do over again. Guests could take the loft, as they wouldn't be living in it full time, and she could enjoy a larger room on the ground level. Gorgeous surroundings, and deck. She's living her joy!
I love that you’re adding the extra room on the ground floor. That way when you’re ready to stop sleeping in the loft, you can move into that more easily accessible room. 👍

Hands down, this is my favorite tiny house. She is so sensible. The small cooktop that is portable is great. Focusing so much on storage.....wonderful storage!
This is a great home, it's the additional room that did it for me. I like first floor bedroom, and it's big enough. Perfect without having to get rid of meaningful items, decorations, or clothes. This home when construction is complete is perfect for 1 or 2 people. Enjoy🎉
Lots of good points about living tiny. I once lived in 375 square foot studio(all one level). This video has all the cubbies for shoes, hats,scarves.... everything tiny

I down sized the same way: 1,300 SQ ft, to 650, to 278, and now 180 SQ ft. I only kept the things I truly love and also gave everything else away. It was so freeing. You've made a beautiful home for you and Jasper!

I’m sorry but those saying “It’s an Alaskan STYLE house”.... naw babe it’s a typical shed roof design tiny with an add on. It’s “RUSTIC” or a modern cabin. Honestly think they messed up the title BUT either way it’s a beautiful home and she seems extremely happy and proud of it. I like her, she’s got that good ole country girl accent (South Carolina girl here 🤛🏻) and seems adventurous while being laid back at the same time. Thank you for sharing your home.
Absolutely love you disposition and attitude regarding living tiny. Would love to be your tiny house neighbor. Continue to enjoy your not so tiny house and move into the larger room you and Jasper can use the space.
Truth always is appreciated . You have a peaceful life now. The nice thing about aging is stuff will change. Dogs ,life, future goes forward. When you get to an age, things become more important than “things”. An out door bath is an amazing thing. Been there and done that.😀😀😀

Nice to see pets as part of tiny house living.
I like how honest she is in sharing her likes and dislikes and what she would do differently.
I would much rather have a downstairs bedroom and a proper oven, keep less clothing, and use the loft for storage. But that's me. One thing that makes tiny house videos fascinating is the way people prioritize in very limited space. Gets you thinking about what's really important.

Great video. She is so stinking cute. So precious.
I'm late seeing this video, so I'm not sure if the person with this tiny home will see my comment but if she does, I just wanted to say one of her art pieces is so beautiful and unique. When she said she like the clean lines and minimalistic Nordic design, then I instantly saw an art piece near her kitchen that looks to me, like trees, but the tree trunks are ancient Nordic runes. Very nice. Very clever. I love it. So i truly hope she sees this msg even though it's so long after this video was released.
Wow! What a lovely lady! I’d easily move into her tiny home, perfect spot. X
Very nice! Love your colors & the design. ❤️ My ears perked up when you mentioned TN & NC. I’m in N E GA & can be in Chattanooga in abt 1 1/2 hrs. I do have some pottery from Clarkesville, GA, Mark of the Potter. At my age, a loft wouldn’t be practical. I live alone & I’m so tired of “stuff”. I’ve been slowly donating & clearing out my 1700 SF. I’ll check out Wind River. Thanks for the tour!

@@HangTran-kv4rx yes totally “Alaskan”.... that whole shed roof design on a tiny house with wood elements is 100% Alaskan... No, it’s called RUSTIC! It’s a typo, bud. Any small space is going to have condensation issues, it’s common with tiny’s. Most have to use humidifiers unless they install an air exchange/exhaust system (HRV or ERV). The bathroom fan should really be humidity sensory that self modulates. Tip- I have installed the Panasonic Whisper (Humidity Sensing) in my bathroom, it’s only $80. I will also be installing 2 exhaust fans in my “cabin/tiny” ☝️ one downstairs and one up top in my loft. They both are automatic, have temp settings and humidity controls, I like the AC infinity options the most but I’d like a stronger CFM so I’m still debating.

@@loduke3905 Uh, Alaska has a lot of Rustic! Timber framing, cabins, etc. There's many design themes that include Rustic elements... Bottom line, if they got their inspiration from something they saw in Alaska, then that's giving credit to the source and perfectly valid... Just like Scandinavian designs, etc., which can also be mixed and matched as designs don't have to be purely from one source or include all design elements from one source. Like a modern farm house design mixes modern and old farm house elements. Besides, there's examples like Ana White's 2 Tiny house builds that people have been drawing inspiration from for years. So this isn't something new...

I'm always mystified by people who really want to know the price tag. Since this is a custom build, giving a cost for a house unique to her would help others how? Frankly, I don't feel like it's anyone else's business. If you want to go that route, contact a builder you like and get a quote of your own.

The rest is personal (custom costs $$) I absolutely love the Canadian company Minimaliste that builds modern homes but, I cannot afford them so I look for other cheaper companies, get a base price and know I don't have to do it all at once (can add as I live and learn what I need.) The base price is important as is land vs community. I love her views and privacy but, fear needing help or an ambulance out so far.

I’m confused about the location of this tiny home. The title of this episode says Retired woman and her beautiful Alaskan tiny home” but beginning at the 5:15 mark she talks about the builder, Wind River, and says “…..they are in Chattanooga [Tennessee], which is close to this….” A few other times she mentions Chattanooga or Tennessee or South Carolina, so I think she is in Tennessee, not Alaska. If she lived In Alaska, I also think she’d have a wood stove somewhere and much bigger trees in the background. On the Wind River Tiny Homes website, you can get an idea of price for those of us interested in that. However, not sure if those prices are current being lumber has skyrocketed this year.
