- Meet Emily, a young lawyer who moved back to NC from NYC to embrace a more outdoor-focused lifestyle in a custom tiny home. Living tiny legally was a priority too. She's parked in a new, almost complete tiny house community called Cranmore Meadows. Mint Tiny Homes built her 41' gooseneck tiny house for about $120k (give or take with CAD to USD exchange rate).

Emily moved back to NC from NYC to embrace a more outdoor-focused lifestyle in a custom tiny home. Though her old 1-bedroom apt was a little bigger, it wasn't as functional as her THOW! It's a 41' gooseneck by Mint Tiny Homes, now parked in a new tiny home community, Cranmore Meadows in NC. 👉 *Inside her tiny house community:* czcams.com/video/SXdgYHvPpdg/video.html 🏡 *Watch TOURS of their neighbors' tiny homes:* Emilio & Krysten's book-filled THOW, czcams.com/video/dLcAwlfdQxk/video.html 📚 Tyler's single floor THOW, czcams.com/video/g9X9mCwL4YY/video.html ✨ Callie & Nathan's incredible DIY tiny house: czcams.com/video/2AYCA1WPuHc/video.html 🏡
Also, beautifully decorated.
That dog stole the show.. He is truly her shadow .. rarely out of the frame
I have always lived in 3 and 4 bedroom houses. My husband and I were supposed to go travel when I retired. He passed away in 2013 and I retired in 2016. Well I ended up losing my house. I could not rent anywhere due to I have 2 dogs and a cat and my mom who came and lived with me passed away in 2018. I was willed her little dog and cat. All the animals are in age range of 8 and 10 years old. So I bought myself a 39 foot 5th wheel for 4 slide outs and I absolutely love it. I haven’t learned to drive with a 5 th wheel yet but I do have a truck but not big enough tow it. Right now I have it stationary on my aunts property so it is working out for me and my crew. I don’t think I could ever live in a big house any longer. It takes me 15 to 30 minutes to clean daily. Everything has its place and I am so much more organized,
That was a period of trauma for you. I sympathize. So happy you found the right choice for your new life.
That's a lot to deal with, some stuff to go through. It sounds like you are a happy person. I hope I am right. I downsized from 2220 sq ft to 1116 sq ft in 2017. I wouldn't go back. My old, big dog and I were good in our small space. Now she is gone and I have a little, boy dog. We are happy to share our space.
you sound just like me - my husband passed away also - sorry for your loss - I have no animals but definitely moving back to the mid west from Arizona and going to look into something like this - small is better at 63
God Bless. Glad you have found happiness again. My dream is to live like this, in a beautiful tiny home in a nice community.
Would love to see your house with your crew. ☺️
Several things I love!
1. Stairs instead of ladder.
2. DISHWASHER!!!
3. Washer/Dryer
4. Ice maker coming, YES!
5. Deck, YES!!
They did not detail it, but the drawer dishwasher is made by Fisher and Paykel. The same company also makes drawers that can switch from being a freezer to a cooler - your option. Have seen a number of Tiny Homes with the washer drawer but none (yet) with the refrigerator/freezer drawer.
What a gorgeous home! Buy a small induction burner or a small butane cooktop and just take it out of a drawer when you need another burner.That is what we do in our tiny house.
I loved how Emily talked about both her upgrades from the base model and what she’d change knowing now what she didn’t know when building. That’s super helpful for anyone forming realistic budget expectations before building. Great video!
Thanks for watching!
I love that she said "we, our" home including her furbaby. Beautiful dog; love that tail. And their tiny home.
I love the office area bc it in other homes, it seems so cramped when there's a dual-purpose desk/table that's in the middle of the home. She likely spends more time there, hence the sleeping occurs in the loft. Very clever!
Such a fantastic work from home setup!
I love the office.Finally a design that would provide a full stand up sewing room!!
Maybe this is the Tiny Home to finally get my hubby to concede that downsizing is the right move? Hmmm.
I did too, but I've seen other goosenecks' have larger bedrooms so I think she sacrificed that. Id prefer a larger bedroom.
Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely place...but $120K plus $600 a month in lot rent plus utilities is outrageous.
Nice!!The painting and the matching couch is EVERYTHING!!
I like how the dog was just digging a hole while she was talking. It was cute
Almost stole the show 😁
Same here 😂 I was watching him dig and laughed so hard 🤣 beautiful furbaby 🐶 ❤️
Yep, the pupper stole my heart by digging a hole while she chatted!
I live in NC and have wanted a tiny house for a few years. I'm glad she mentioned about the red tape she had to go through and challenges of finding a tiny living community and how to live in a tiny legally.
It's a nightmare. I want to go Tiny in WA State.... no where to go! It's terrible.
@@vicaroo001 I'm sorry
Considering the length of that Tiny Home, it to me is a surprise in itself that, everything has its own usefulness and well thought out design.
Seems perfect for a single person. I think I'd feel more secure than in a bigger echoing house with several bedrooms. I'd probably look for my own lot if wanting to stay in one spot. Hard to find smaller homes these days. LOVE your tub. I think this is the most practical tiny home I've ever seen not only for working remotely but just for personal office items it's brilliant.
Very nice job, this is one of the nicest tiny homes I've seen. I really like the layout, the stairs are easy and accessible, her loft bedroom looked so cozy and user friendly, very nice bathroom and kitchen, and her office is just right for her. I love the wood and white color scheme and her art walls. Super lovely all around, and her fur baby makes her home, and he's her heart that's easy to see. I'm in NC also, and it is a beautiful place to call home.
Emily is an Attorney. She WANTS to Live Tiny and Elegant, NOT POOR. LUV EMILY, Her Baby, and Lovely HOME.
Jajajaja... When she saids "But I do have a dog" 10:51 look at the face of the dog!
I love the idea of a tiny house, because you can build what you want, but they've become so expensive and then there is Rent on top of it!
Unless you own land you can legally live on Rent Free it feel MORE expensive to go tiny than a typical home. The Rent aspect is killing me. Her home after 10 years of Rent at $600/month is ~200k. For that much money you could own a Home AND Land that'll increase in value. After 10 years she'd still be paying rent. With few exceptions you can't buy land to legally live just in a tiny house. So it seems cheaper/better to buy a home, build a tiny, live in your tiny and rent / AirBnB the home.
Yes, none of this seems to make sense financially. Also, why build a tiny house in North Carolina? I am not familiar with the area she is in, but wouldn’t in make more sense to start out small on the property ladder, accrue equity and then move on? Tiny Houses do not appreciate in value. Spending so much money on the home, then $600 per months just makes no sense whatsoever.
I think the lot rent which includes utilities, except electricity, is the average. Having said that, the expenses that come from owning a typical stick built home can get very high. You will be paying for all of your utilities, homeowners insurance, property taxes (which are extremely high in certain areas) and HOA fees (which can also get pretty high) plus you will need to do all the maintenance yourself or hire others to do it. When buying or building a house, you'll need to take into consideration all of these expenses because they are monthly expenses that aren't negotiable. Of course, unless you pay cash for your home, you'll have a mortgage payment too. There are so many benefits to being in a brand new small/tiny house and just lease the land. Financially, I can see how you'd think it doesn't make sense. I used to feel exactly the same way, but after owning several homes and looking at my annual expenses, it really is very expensive. Since the homes I've owned have all been new or newer, I wasn't saddled with many of the unexpected expenses that come along with buying an older home. These are all things to consider when looking into how you want to live and spend your money. And, there's the location. It's not possible to purchase a home in an area that you'd love to be near unless you have a lot of money. If you can find land or a tiny house community to live in that's near a city you love, it's definitely worth considering. I'm now retired, kids are grown and I'm looking for the right builder and permanent lot situation. It's something I've given a lot of thought and believe this is the best answer for me. Having said all that, I really do understand how you feel.
Maybe the law should change so that you can buy land and put your tiny house on it
@@stud6414 You can't buy land and put it on?
She seems very happy in her beautiful Tiny Home! I am sure she is aware of how much she spends on rent and what a wonderful location! How much rent does your Mom charge you?
She's a great speaker and story teller - lots of good insights and thoughts. Love that she was candid about her decisions (good, and learned from) and her story of how she used her NY and backpacking experience to know that tiny would be right for her. #yaytiny
She’s a lawyer. 😂
@@patriot350 Not all lawyers are good at speaking and presentations.
I'm sure she's an excellent lawyer.
I would have preferred Emily not to use or say the amount of "umms" or "uhs' that she did - that many people employ. Other than that, I liked how she explained everything the way she did.
Lovely.
Nice storytelling, although the vocal fry is hard on the ear (😂just not used to it)
I love y'all's interviewing style---just wish you would get homeowners to discuss how they heat and cool their tiny and what the climate extremes are where they live. The pretty stuff and pretty shots are cool but solid info is good too. I appreciated her telling us what she would do differently. And her office is the BEST I've ever seen! I have been watching Tiny House videos for 10 years...this is in my top 5 favorite. It's just beautiful!❤️
Thank you for the kind feedback! We do try to put in practical info but don’t always get everything. Check out this recent tour of tiny house that experiences super hot CA summers; they share how they cool it: czcams.com/video/owxBBztQJIE/video.html 😅
@@TinyHouseExpedition,
Thanks y'all -I will!
Personal peaceful oasis. One of very few tiny homes, I have seen which are ideal to grow with the owner. Life presents opportunities when we develop ourselves. This young woman recognizes her opportunities! Lovely!
The dog is hilarious.
Emily is an excellent advertisement for a new generation of professionals. Instead of going for the bling bling large house as projected by Hollywood, she has opted for a small and comfortable tiny house. Her design choices and her clear love of nature shines through. I would like to see many more of these tiny homes on reclaimed urban space. There must be millions of sq metres of land that is waste, and it needs to be greened. It would be great to develop more and more communities that live tiny in large green spaces that have been resurrected from waste. I studied law, and I wished I stayed with it - if only to have a lovely dog and tiny house like Emily has. Well done Emily!
You don't need a law degree to have a tiny home. If you're really interested, start planning & go for it. You can always start with a more affordable build. This tiny home is one of the largest sizes made.
I'm a retired nursing manager who has an absurd 1800 square foot home for myself & 2 dogs. We literally use significantly less than a third of this home. I'm hoping to make the leap to tiny home living next year & build a home & move from the NJ shore to the PNW.
Tiny homes are energy efficient; especially with solar panels, on demand water heaters added, they're environmentally responsible, require much less cleaning & can be the perfect choice for any age group. I have a fixed income & with my current home just make ends meet. Despite having no mortgage, between the high taxes & outrageous utility bills for water & electric, HOA fees, I'm spending $1,200 /monthly. That's a lot of money for a bunch of empty useless space-and it's more than some mortgages! Although most tiny homes aren't meant to move constantly, having the choice & ability to move if necessary is fantastic.
Very nice story. She seems like an amazing lady who is making her way in life by her own light and rules.
Very nice home office up in the gooseneck.
Love, love, love this one! So functional and tweaked perfectly to suit the owner. I love the study area and the extra clothes storage. The kitchen is fabulous, as are all of the timber details. As for that doggie!!!! Oh my!!!!
Such an amazing home with a unique floor plan and beautiful wood and colors throughout. What a beautiful soul she is and an adorably loving puppers !!! The art is one of the most stunning features that I love. Thanks for featuring this home. Love your channel !!! 🔆
Greatly appreciate the kind feedback Sheila! ❤️
Love this house. Many levels & not the 'alley' feel of some tiny homes & the colors & liked the finishes. Best wishes to Emily.
Beautiful home. Love the dedicated office. Nice addition.
Emily, you have a grand house. It's so awesome. I love the design and creativeness you put into it.
Absolutely beautiful. I appreciate
Her pointing out the little things she would have changed. Yet always happy with her Tiny Home.
I really appreciate all of the pertinent details being included in this particular video: price, size, parking/price, things she would change and just how it's working out for her. I do wonder why she chose a builder in CAN which in turn brought about more cost to bring it to NC vs finding a builder closer to home.
I also wondered. I wanted more on the build and less on what she bought on Amazon.
I am guessing more bang for the buck, the US dollar buys much more than the Canadian dollar. Probably even with the delivery charge she came out ahead!
Company’s home styles, materials used, costs, timeline, reputation, etc may vary tremendously.
I love her home and her Furbaby is SO ADORABLE!!! 🐾♥🐾
I love the length of this tiny home! It's got lots of spaces, storage, and you may work aside from noise if guests are around!!
The office space would make a great bedroom!
Your commissioned art piece looks like Lawn Lake in the Mummy Range at RMNP! Wonderful memory and I just love your Home! Here’s to more tiny home communities.
I love this house with its seperate office and bath tub.
Great layout and a story well told by Emily. I really love the gooseneck, and being able to have extra length and space. Beautiful design.
That's a very good size starter home for anyone - I do hope this trend takes off & councils realize this is a good thing, especially for young people starting out on life's journey & for retirees looking to down size.
I love Emily's personality and her dog - so cute!!
When she said she formerly lived in NYC, I knew that she could handle living in a small space, as NYC apartments are not large unless you have A LOT of $$$$ to spend!!
And of course, buying her tiny house costs way less than NYC rent for all intents and purposes.
And like you Emily, I'd want a bathtub in any place I live. Also, you may be able to have a wall mountable/handheld shower head with extension arm added into your existing plumbing via wall pipe.
Love your color scheme, style, artwork and personal touches.
And your dog is 2 cute!
This is cute. I like it. It is far more better than to live in a shack. I live in South Africa and people here build ugly shacks with corrugated metal close to each other. And we see fires everyday. These shacks catch fire and the whole area get burned and left with nothing Sometimes people got killed by these fires. There's lot of land in South Africa, if people can learn to think out of the box like these ideas we see them in these channels, people's lives can be saved.
I especially love her home office space!
Hello Michele
How are you doing today?
Really interesting video, and the owner told a great story with very helpful hints!
Love the separate office! Could work as a guest space also. Great build
I really appreciate that you said what the rent was on the spot. It seems reasonable because I am assuming rent in the area has to be at least double that.
Love your roommate, all the space, and especially all the orange!
The amenities and layout of this tiny house are amazing!
Hello Rachel
How are you doing today?
I love this house. It actually looks like a very comfortable home. I love where she has her artwork too.
Hello Maddy
How are you doing today?
That is a very spacious tiny house
Having 2 lofts and office is much more than we see in other builds. Very nice design.
Love the room above the gooseneck!
I love the office with closets and windows, art gallery, and the tub. Nice kitchen features, too.
Love this tiny home. You've done a lovely job with it. You could always exchange the fixed rain shower head to a handheld unit and install a clamp onto either end of the bath area for the shower head to hook on to.
Wow...Christian and Alexis Great find. Emily's house is a great design. I had to rewatch it 2 times to understand she has 2 lofts and an office. Love it!! Thanks again for your Legal info and parking spot price. ❤️💚💛🧡💜💙♥️
Happy to share the good! ☺️❤️
Love her home & her attitude. We need more folks like her. And Tipper is all company she needs.
Great space and even greater dog!
A possible remedy for your bowing table could be to invest in a rising-extending coffee table that can be set at sitting/eating from sofa/desk from sofa to regular table height and also folds out to accomodate 4-6 people.
New ones range in price from £100-£800ish depending on where you buy from...i.e, Amazon, Dwell etc
I recently bought a second-hand solid wood one in excellent condition on fb market place for £40 (originally £600) and it's been a god-send in my teeny house 😁
I love her house design it's beautiful and a woman after my own heart with that bathtub
Love the design if this little house!👍🤗
This is a really cute house. From the color of the sofa, to the wood kitchen counter tops, the pivoting TV, farm sink, dish washer drawer, cool tub, storage stairs, windows, washable rug, closets, loft, office space...one can sleep in the living room, in the bedroom/loft, in the office...eventually in the outdoor deck area w/ bar-b-que, plants, furniture, maybe an outdoor enclosed shower?
Plus, it can be moved anywhere or turned into an Air BNB ~nicely done.
This is one of my favourites so far... Really nice design 😊
Love that she has an office
The best Tiny Home design, for sure. The editing was brilliant, too. 9:32 hits dog's head with stair drawer lid, 9:35 unconscious dog, psych, dog's bouncing up the stairs. Brilliant. lol
😂
This is what I'd like to model my house on, when I get there!
Such a comfortable tiny home. I love the french doors, and the kitchen I could only hope for. Its great that she was able to put a small office in her tiny home.
Great tiny home! Great story! Great economic choice! Makes me want to get one of my own. Cant wait to see the finished site and new deck!
WOW! Beautiful home. Very tastefully built and decorated. I really love how you don't have a lot of stuff and clutter everywhere, also the idea of the gallery wall and the way it looks is amazing. Great bathtub!!
She's created such a warm home - absolutely love it!
One of the best tiny houses I have seen. I would have a sofa sleeper in place of the large sofa that she has, because they can be comfortable and used for any guest that didn’t want to climb the stairs because I would be sleeping in the back where her office is. I hate going up stairs and not having enough headspace. But this works for her lifestyle. Absolutely beautiful.
Nice tiny house. As a retiree, I would make the office my bedroom. The sleeping loft would be my office. But, alas, she's young and healthy. ❤
You had some great ideas for your tiny home ty for sharing... NC is my home state as well cant wait to get back
Well what a beautiful home and I know she'll enjoy it for many years
Thanks for the great tips and insight Emily. Your home is very tasteful and love the wall art!!!
Wonderful.. thanks for sharing and I love the fact that she hiked the Appalachian trail. That's a goal of mine, also. I love the outdoors, too. Thanks again & God bless.
Hi Alexis and Christian! Miss you guys. I love the stories you’ve been telling through your videos lately. It captures the spirit of the movement and is so much more than “here’s a pretty house”. You guys rock!
Thank you so much! Cheers! ☺️✨
Lol 😄 Dont get Lost in your New Home, this Tiny House is a Mansion compared to a Tent & a NYC Apt🤣
Your Tiny is Beautiful🙏
Great home looks like it will give you years of happy use. Thanks for sharing your story 😊
Hello Lisa
How are you doing today?
Wow that’s awesome it’s what you want and that’s spectacular. Plus a dog who is your best friend and you definitely can tell . And your a nature person hiking 🥾..,biking your definitely a outdoor lady and so much beauty to see . I have a bunch of awesome paintings as well. And again a special person who knows life is more important with Nature. Happy Hiking and Love your Timy.
Wow enjoyed that video very much she was pretty good at explaining everything it was the biggest tiny house I've seen in a while I'm glad she's enjoying it great place to have a tiny house North Carolina
Hello Patricia
How are you doing today?
Super! Thanks for sharing - really inspiring.
What a great design. Loved the bathroom and the office. Great space.
"Everything fits perfectly, Emily says, which of course includes me!" said the dog!
Great design & use of space. Love the full size washer/dryer much better than the combo ones.
The bathroom is luxurious- I can't go without a tub! The dedicated office/closet space is great. I don't need an office but would make this into a reading nook. Your gallery space is wonderful! I can't imagine not having a space for my artwork & photos. Overall you have a really beautiful tiny home in a gorgeous setting.
This is an amazing home. The work space is so wonderful and neat.
It's a lovely home - thanks for the share :)
Yaaaaay!!!! RMNP!!! Love to y’all from Loveland, Colorado ❤️
Just wanted to say thank you for a joy bomb of a tour with this lovely woman and her dog! Her upbeat personality is infectious! : - ) I crave a gooseneck for the tree-high views and added privacy, but I'd "settle" for a more knee-friendly single-level with that sassy orange couch, gorgeous wood countertop, separate washer & dryer, and drawer dish drawer! ; - ) Nice to see a tiny with all the amenities, plus some great perks (that bath! ; - ).
You can add a couple stiffeners, like metal yard stick under the table to stop the bowing. Great tiny house plan.
Love this. Thank you.
Wow ! This house is so cozy and pretty !!!
That's a 3 bedroom house. Love it.
I feel like I have a lot of the same concerns. Tiny houses too small, small houses too big (or not movable). This is a nice space, well designed. I've also been looking at milder climates, I think? NC is pretty mild? (I live near Boston so..). Thanks for sharing, super interesting and helpful.
Really very beautiful tiny home with well-thought-out design in storage but your home has a feel of a much larger home. I really love the beautiful words you have throughout the home as well as all of your large windows. Such a gorgeous views!
You have exquisite artwork.1 I must say❣️❣️ I especially loved the idea of having artwork made from a paragraph you took of a special place you travel to or seen or are you just loved. It turned out wonderfully!! There was a lot unique about your home that I don’t normally see and other tiny homes. I really like your overall design so much more than any other tiny home I seen. I do encourage you to get the U desire because it will overtime, create a lot of upper body pain for you that becomes a cute as you age and you don’t think about that now but I am older and things like that that I did when I was your age no bother me tremendously… And I could’ve prevented it instead of just “toughening it out”😊❣️❣️ Best of luck to you and thank you for sharing♥️🌈
OMG that dog is the cutest....oh and the TH is too.
Beautiful tiny home. Not the type I'm looking for but beautiful designated spaces. The office is a great space, could double as a guest room if needed.
The host is so open and personable. Loved that she gave extra information like what she did to it, what she would change.
Hello Susan
How are you doing today?
Beautiful home. Very light & bright & roomy. 💖☺️
Absolutely perfect!!
So glad you love living in your tiny home 😊
Her home is gorgeous 😍
office room ❣️❣️❣️❣️ perfect for a single or couple 👍👍👍 beautifully designed ❣️
Very nice. It's perfect for a single person and she has everything she needs. It was also nice that it wasn't cluttered with stuff.
Nice place. Emily might want to invest in polyester shower curtains.They wash up well (you know the pink critters and mold that can form on a vinyl curtin) and don't stick to your body in the shower. They work, dry quickly, and you can get plain white (with/without an embossed design) and tuck them to the side (and she'd still see most of the nice white tile).
Beautiful!!!😍
The tiny home 🏡is magnificent 👌. So happy 😊that she gets to live life on her own terms.
