Widow starts new chapter in dual Tiny House & Art Studio
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Meet Barbara, an artist living in a tiny house on wheels. Her 7 m / 24 ft home doubles as her art studio for painting, drawing & writing music. Tiny living is a welcomed change after losing her beloved husband, who encouraged her to follow her tiny dream. She bartered with her builder to reduce the cost of her home. Barbara painted murals at his tiny house/RV park in exchange for a $20k discount on her tiny house. She is now painting murals around her home & for some of her neighbors--see the link below to commission her.

Barbara is a multi-talented artist. Her 18.5 sqm/200 sqft tiny home doubles as her art studio--amazing how well she can work in such a small space! After losing her beloved husband of 30 years, she committed to downsizing with his encouragement. Luckily, she was able to barter with her builder for a $20k discount by doing mural work. See links above to commission her, see more of her work & where she lives! 👉 *Watch a tour of Jimi's shed conversion tiny home w/a music studio:* kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3uEtLuJn5eeYs4.htmlsi=iQJ_SwY9ZJx9EuY3

Hello Barbara, I'm so stoked I stumbled across your video.. I've been looking forever & a day for that one special tiny house that just reeks of the WOW factor, artsy, weird, unique in every way or at least the shape of it, like you, I'll do the rest! I also am an artist, ceramist, muralist, art furniture maker, photo realism illustrator, jewelry maker, & an art therapy teacher I have a degree in commercial visual arts but I dont care for it, didnt then & still dont. But just like all creative souls we've all got so much more depth & talent to us to share & give to the world. It seems with artists, art & music goes hand in hand its like a bridge to another dimension. I am so very much like you in relation to your thinking & artistic mind. I unlike you though can't get my mind to stop seeing, thinking, creatively ALL THE TIME..., not just at night.. arghhhh I suppose it's a good thing though for now, as you said while we can still see, use our minds & bodies & get around! I feel your pain & your loss in many directions, but there is healing in being creative, ART THERAPY, most of the time the art that I teach meant to help others, it actually helps me a great deal as well. I wish you only the best in your new beginning chapter & lastly, I'd love to call you my sister in christ, who knows maybe we'll meet some day & just be creative!❤ If not, no matter I'm glad to have met you here. Ps: Your voice is lovely, I listened to you on sound cloud.

Barbara, thank you so much for showing your lifestyle and tiny home. This is the coolest tiny home I've seen. And your artwork just adds to the attraction. You are blessed in this sense and you show it confidently. Even after the tragic loss of your husband, it looks like a lifestyle you have fully embraced. Enjoy and Take care.
Your little house is so beautiful, you painted it very artistically.

Beautiful paintings and illustrations of animals and birds! I'm also an artist who mostly illustrates either from my imagination or from photos of birds and animals. I haven't done murals and your road runner is really well done. Your tiny home is well designed and a great creative space for you to paint, draw, or sing along with your guitar. Goldie Hawn looks like she has some nice places to hang out while you create. Thanks for sharing! Jenny

I love Barbara's entrepreneurial spirit! She's so talented and it is great that she can use something she enjoys doing as a means of supporting herself. Her home will be a one of a kind masterpiece when she finishes painting it. The neighbors will be able to use her home as a landmark!

@@ImdartistBarbaraAndrews Pocket doors have their drawbacks. They make the walls thicker. Not such a big deal in a normal house, but a possible consideration in a tiny house. However, since they retreat into the wall instead of moving across it like a barn door, that wall space is available on both sides of the wall. I think the biggest issue probably is how hard it is to fix anything that goes wrong with a pocket door INSIDE the wall. I like a barn door - it's so much easier to get it back in place if it jumps the track. I'm hoping to buy a tiny house in the next two years and I'm thinking about doing an acrylic or resin pour for the "barn" door. I've never done one before, but I think it would look really amazing, and I haven't seen anything like it!

I have a personal loan with a contractor which is $200 a month and I pay $$450 a month for my lot rent. And the home is insured by the contractor. There’s no homeowners association fee.
Good Lord, when people say the economy is forcing us all to live in a gray box on a dirt lot, this is exactly that. I'm so glad I know this is not the only way to do it or this video would have put me off of tiny homes forever!

To each their own! She loves her tiny home and is in the process of adding color with multiple murals. We think it’s very charming & functional. Also she parked in a high desert community where dirt is the norm. But yes, there are many ways to live and many styles of tiny homes. Everyone should do what works best for them and know there are many worthwhile home types out there for a variety of budgets. 😅
