murphy bed, bathtub, office under the stairs, entryway storage, huge backyard deck, hanging dishrack with drip tray, footpedal stopper -- so many interesting features! for 35k, this house is easily one of the best tinies I've ever seen. great job! 👍💚
Very clever so very well throughout. Construction looks perfect. Kudos. Love it
Really lovely and affordable. It lacks nothing. Love the bathtub! So many tiny houses now are super expensive which I think is counterintuitive. If you’re spending a fortune you might as well buy a house with land. This looks way more expensive than 35K. The beautiful deck adds more living space. It’s very comfortable. Brilliant!
Well it was $35K because they did all of the labor. Otherwise it would have been way more money.
I agree at least $80,000

Exactly, I am not at all interested in a tiny house that costs as much or more than a home on land....people should really think first before paying that much. I'm a RE Appraiser and with no land...the value goes down rapidly like a vehicle...its a depreciating asset. In additon, very hard to find a place to park it permenantly
The foot pedal kitchen sink water cut off is a really great idea.
We want one in our tiny home!
oh why dont you marry it then?
I like it too....But I think it would annoy me after awhile.
So SO very cool!
I fell in love, right there...lol
Murphy bed and elevating bed would be my choice for a tiny house. This home has lots of character and many great design features, such as the office under the stairs and under units drawers. A great outcome for $35,000!
I really like everything about their design. I'd need a W/D (hate laundromats) but seems that is a possibility. I really like the murphy bed, very perfect design with places for clothing, books and a lamp. From what I've seen elsewhere, I cannot abide a bed that takes up the entire space with no place for a nightstand type thing. I mean where are you supposed to set a book, a lamp, a glass of wine a phone and some condoms? Let's be real. 😉
Agree!!!
Diane Moonstone And
I’ve seen hundreds. This is a favorite in terms of both aesthetic and function. Beautiful.
I definitely agree
Agreed!
Thank you!!
I love that you not only built this together, but you have so much consideration for each other.. Every inch perfect. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Ellen how are you doing!!
Great home, really love the Murphy bed. I'm older and do not like the idea of climbing down stairs in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom!
Totally get that! 😊

Me too 😁😊👍
Hands down the BEAT build ive seen that's actually attainable. $35k is very doable. These other builds are so expensive they defeat the point. Doing the labor yourself cut the cost down a lot. ❤️❤️❤️
So many great features--I really appreciate the slightly bumped out front door. Even a little bit of transitional entry space is something most tinies lack--great solution!
Seriously! Entry way space is soooo nice especially in a tiny home 😊 ✨
Thank you! The entryway really does make a big difference.
“We didn’t prioritize having a big bathroom” had to laugh at that, I think this is one of the best, but also one of the largest, bathrooms I’ve seen in a tiny house!
Love the bathtub
I watch so many of these, & for some reason, I get a really good vibe from this couple. I can tell that they're good ppl - laid back, very comfortable w/each other, & a great team!
Btw the 7 thumbs downs are ridiculous! This was well narrated by the couple, w/excellent editing!
Thank you, and we agree-they’re are wonderful people! ❤️
@@TinyHouseExpedition Totally agree, wholesome and real people, think they would be good teachers/coaches/parents… also Joel somehow reminds me of Mark Ruffalo, dunno where that comes from!
Totally agree! You can see the look in their eyes that they are kind/good people. They are the kind of people you want to surround yourself. Pretty chill/relax vibe. And the way they let each other talk, that’s a great team right there!
I think I would have to have a flushing toilet.
Nice to see real people living in their tiny and not the usual Airbnb stuff
So many greats: food pedal faucet control, Murphy bed design, side table drawer, loft (which would become my sewing/crafts space, corner window in the bathroom. I'm running out of commas. My goodness you did a elegant design.
I love the drip tray above the sink, that's one of my favorite features of their tiny. The simple stairs with a desk/computer under it is a great touch!
I like their kitchen table and the purpose behind it, but I'd round the corners so it can't stab me while walking past
I'm not a huge fan of murphy beds, but their made me like them a bit more, considering how quickly and easily they adjust it.
I really like the idea of a loft as a hang out space, not a main place you'd need to use every day. Great tiny for only $35,000!
I thought it would have been way more expensive, it's a very clever, functional place. Original too.
Thank you! We originally planned to round off the corners of the counter, but decided we liked how it looked as-is. We thought walking past it would be tight, but it turns out there's quite a bit of room there. But we could always round off the corners in-place if we change our minds!
@@saraquinn2006 where did you source your dish drying shelves? We’ve been wanting to install something similar in our tiny house but I haven’t been able to find one hefty enough for hand thrown dishes. Yours looks like just the thing! Thanks so much and beautiful house!
@@hollybobisuthi7618 We got one that supposed to mount in a cabinet, but modified our shelving to fit with the open shelves instead! It is very sturdy, it seems.

@@saraquinn2006 where can I find that foot pedal? we planned to add a pump but I like the look and functionality of yours!
the love between the couple in this video is most noticeable and significantly very special
This is still one of my all time favorite tiny houses and this couple...just love them!
This is not only my favourite tiny home but I adore this couple. Both they and the home feel so authentic and not staged. There are so many great ideas in this home and it's really the only one I could see myself living in rather than just taking snippets of ideas from. The price range is within the realistic realms of more people rather than a few of the $100K + that I have seen
Love the color scheme of this home. The woods, olives and greys are a beautiful combination.
What a fantastic couple and I loved how they talked through their design choices! For example, choosing to put a desk instead of storage, I thought...wow, this house is really meant to be lived in and used well. I'm always surprised when there are no coat racks or places for shoes in a tiny house. This couple has not only thought through so many "problems", but solved them in very creative ways. Such a livable house, I'd love to live in a tiny like theirs! Congrats!
The practical details are everything! ❤️
Their 'entry' is adorable, and so functional in such a compact space!
They said they have been living there for about a year and a half, so they have had a bit of time to work through any design details that rubbed up against their needs. What a wonderful place they built!
Thank you!
Our biggest project was a camper van conversion. Although we had been married for ten years it certainly put our relationship under a lot of challenges. Ian was the builder and I was the suggestioner. We eventually got there, even though there are still changes happening to the van, but the relationship strengthened in the knowledge that we did it together. Ok, I suggested more than I did, but he is a wonderful wise man who learned that a happy wife was certainly a good life.🤣
This is one if the loveliest tiny houses I have seen! I love the Murphy bed the pedal for the tap and the hanging drying rack along with the esthetics of the materials chosen for the home. Nice work you two!
Hello Deb how are you doing!!
What a fantastic, owner-designed and -built tiny house. Lots of clever storage, great space under the stairs for their office, and a really nice deck, and a storage shed for their bikes. Awesome.
This tiny house seems very thoughtful to me .I like the bathtub. It seems like an outdoor bathtub due to the corner windows.
Yes they really deserve to be proud of their house because it's simply beautiful.
if u told me i could move in next week i would and mot change a thing. so friendly and cozy. desk and stair idea clever. i am proud of this house for u also. good work😊🙂 and a bisiting friendly cat too.
wish u all the best!!
Lovely home, lovely couple. I like how you used so much wood through out your home and kept it natural. It’s timeless and adds warmth and a connection to the outdoors.
I think if you build yourself, your blood, sweat and tears are in the build giving off good energy. I'm hopeful of the future for the new generation who are moving away from the system to live more intentionally. I like this home because tiny house living is about energy efficiency, and spatial minimalism and working on a tiny budget. What is the point of moving from a big house to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a tiny house. It's about cutting out the consumerism and living simply. Congratulations guys! Enjoy your beautiful home
Agree completely!!!
Been saying for years that sink foot pedals are the way to go! Even in regular homes.
They keep you hands free and you save water too!
Of all the tiny house tours I've seen on video (probably hundreds by now), I believe this may be my favorite tiny house so far! Everything about it seems exactly right, from the whole concept to some of the "small touches." You *should* be proud of it. It's wonderful!
thank you!!
Hello Stacy how are you doing!!
I love your format. How you let the owners speak. We only hear the owners, there is no cutting people off mid sentence and such. It’s much more soothing that way. 😊💕
Thank you very much! ❤️☺️
I'm impressed by this couple! They're so calm, councious and seem to get along very well... Maybe that's why their house turned up so great!
Aw thanks!
Oooh love the foot operate tap…in tiny home or off the grid, essential for water preservation. Excellent and thoughtful in every aspect.
I like this couple. Imagine, two people who are actually willing to work at a relationship. Congrats to them for finding each other. And congrats for the wonderful home they built for themselves. Lots of great ideas! One suggestion that I would try...I would make the murphy bed a half-murphy bed. I would make it so that the bottom half folds up and over the top half, forming a couch. That way, they would still have floor space, a place to sit, a hidden bed, and access to the shelf space behind. Just an idea. Anyway, love the house. Hope they continue to enjoy it together.
You should be proud of it; it's one of the best thought out tiny homes I've ever seen. Love the design. I think I'd want a slightly longer home (2 feet) to accomodate a sofa (in three pieces that slide out of the way on casters - flip down brakes - leaving two seat on both sides - I'd make those drawer end tables a bit more deep so they could act as end tables when in couch mode - or a single piece in the middle the size of the bed width) and fold down table (an art piece) in front on the murphy bed. (A loveseat on casters would fit with the current design. When putting the bed down, you could shove it in front of the doorway as you'd still have egress through the back door.) That way there'd still be floor space but also additional working space. But more because I'm disabled and so getting up and down from the floor would be a challenge (and they'd also provide more storage. Love the desk under the stairs as well. Your kitchen is so well thought out and combined with the storage around the bed and outdoor storage means you've probably got a lot of the storage you need.
I thought of some of your suggestions too. I thought the end tables should've been the size of the whole drawer. I would've went with a fold up couch or chairs because I have some knee arthritis and getting up off the floor is not fun. But they seem to be in pretty good shape, probably doesn't bother them, haha! Also, she made a big deal about how they don't use much electricity, but then you see the stove is propane and heat is wood. Think it would've been easier to just hook it up to electric, unless it's real expensive where they live, there's a lot of outages or they don't want to be dependent on the grid. Could solve that with a solar panel on the roof.
I would have upholstered the bottom of the bed and placed a large ottoman in front to create a more comfortable fake sofa when the bed is closed. The depth of the ottoman and height of the upholstered section designed so that you slide the ottoman forward to sit under the foot of the bed at night. It wouldn't be supporting the bed, but a snug fit. I also think that I would have designed a cubby and a bit of a slide out surface in the side cabinets to serve as a side table/night stand.
What a beautiful and well thought out design! This is exactly what I would choose. I love the idea of a murphy bed for a tiny house, always have. AND, that bathtub...gurrrl I feel ya! It's my one non-negotiable. Well done.
Really perfect house. So attractive and cozy looking. It's a HOME.
there are many small things unique to this house that are very nice touches such as the water pedal in the kitchen. Lovely home.
I have yet to see a couple coming out of a building project, saying there were no challenges. Builds character and hopefully relationships. Often tells you a lot about yourself! Something to be proud of, while providing a more independent space that belongs to you.That has to be liberating! I'm older and found that no house is big enough if you can't comfortably share a space...
You both seem to have much in common. Well thought out design collaboration. Biking and skiing are great sports, as well as Yoga. Good beginnings.
All the best! ~ Diane
Totally agree Diane,
Very well-thought-out, most impressed with the relationship you can tell they have and how they work together on it & video!! 💕
Just wondering how they fit all their clothes in those two small closets!!
That would be hard for me probably the hardest part! 😅
I'm very happy for them!
I’ve been searching for the best designs and price point for years, and I think this house might be the winner for the rest of my life.
BRAVO 👏🏼
This is my fave tiny house! The design is so smart, elegant, efficient and clean!!! Their outdoor space is beautiful too. And, they did it all themselves which blows my mind. Such lovely and talented homeowners.
Love it love it love it! I would probably have a fold-out couch frame secured to the underside of the Murphy bed that could be then be unfolded and made into a couch for those two pillows that now are on the floor when the Murphy bed is folded up. So when the bed was folded away, the couch frame would be unfolded for those two pillows. When the bed was unfolded and down, the couch frame would be secured under the bed. But this home is just about perfect the way it is, and has given me ideas for my tiny condo.
I love your tiny house! I have looked at many tiny hoses and this is truly the best thought house I have seen. No really frustrating causing areas built in to your design. I wish you would sell a blueprint of your place and include how.to’s of your extra design features. I would be glad to purchase such a product.
I was thinking the same thing...I have watched 1000's of tiny house videos and would like to be first in line to purchase this one should you ever upgrade and sell it!! I'd even consider moving there!!! But since there's so much time, love and memories built into your home, can I settle for the plans?!
Your house is beautiful! I love the layout! May you be blessed with many years to make happy memories in your home!
Hello Sarah your smile is priceless😊
I love your home so many great features. I’m 75 and a widow so I appreciate your Murphy bed like you I think that made sense Brilliant design TFS
This is such a beautiful tiny house! What a lovely couple, creative & hard working building this house must have been a true bonding experience! For sure one day when they want to start a family, they may need more room, but for now it’s a perfect sanctuary & they even have the neighbor’s cat who prefers to hang out there....LOL!
I love the Murphy Bed and that deck is so nice! Very interesting outside and inside!
Hello Susan how are you doing!!
@Keanu Reeves Well hi there!
@Keanu Reeves Western MA
Sweet thoughtful couple. Impressive home! I admire how they learned to work together on those dark long Portland winters.
This tiny house is gorgeous. Practical and beautiful. Inspiring. Well done and thanks for showing.
Love the Murphy bed in a Tiny house. This looks like a nice home and they deserve to be proud of their work.
We had one and just folded it up when not needed. No problem.
Maybe just have a small bump out.
Wow they did such an amazing job, very thoughtfully designed!
Love the full size bathtub and shower with the windows to see the greenery outside.
This may be my favorite tiny house design that I have ever seen! Really love the murphy bed with wardrobe and the clever night stand drawers. So much creative thought went into the design for storage solutions and other unique features in this beautiful and functional tiny house.
Building something together is the ULTIMATE couple test
Hands down this is my favorite tiny house. Ya'll thought of everything! These two could advise others on their build or sell this design. Very impressive.
They did all that for 35K, that’s great! I think that’s so cool they made this themselves ! Great job !
I absolutely adore your tiny house. It’s so soothing and comfortable. Love the Murphy bed! The bar to stop the water flow was brilliant! Love so many of your creative and functional ideas. Best part, watching you two take little peeks at each other while discussing your work together. There is obviously much love there. You have SO MUCH to be proud of. ❤️
Fun video! I loved their home. So many cool ideas: the over the sink dish drainer, the flip up step in the kitchen for a seat, the tucked away desk, the beautiful tub and the ‘waterfall’ sink, the tiny 8 inch entry way that was so functional (!), the drawer that became a nightstand at the bed, and so much more. Very clever!! Thanks for sharing!
The coolest thing to me is the "bump-out" for the entryway! I haven't seen that yet...and I have watched a ton of tiny home videos. Such a practical use of space as it also defines the entryway. Great job!
I love tiny houses! Such clever ideas. The foot pedal, the nightstand, and the murphy bed are perfect additions.
Love idea of Murphy bed. Excellent idea. Your home looks great. Having deck increases living space considerably
Hello lisa how are you doing!!
Your Home is wonderful, I wish U2 the Best of Everything in your Tiny 💝🕊
Its always nice to see functional space in tiny homes. It helps to see the space actively being used as opposed to the 'Better Homes and Gardens look' that no one lives in. Great build!
Love your tiny home and all the great features you have put into place both inside and outside your home. You seem like a great couple and should be extremely proud of all you have accomplished in your build process. I also love all of the outside privacy you have. You seem likely a lovely couple and I wish you both a great future together. ❤❤❤
This tiny house is just brilliant !!!!! Congratulations to the couple !!! What a such achievement.
This tiny house was created with such thoughtfulness, creativity, purpose, and love. This couple is so delightful, and I pray they are very happy and still enjoying this FANTASTIC home that they built. Kudos❣️👍❣️
👍😍I love the last minute desk idea instead of ”just” for storage. I think it’s smartly designed. 💝
Very nice. I love how you designed the nightstands on either side of the bed. Pretty cleaver.
Hello Linda how are you doing!!
Loved how they made the drying rack and making the counter not look cluttered and is able to be used while dishes were drying. Also, great idea for the stairs!
Making it yourself changes the way a house is designed. A lot of the special things they included were really nice.
Hello Deborah how are you doing!!
Okay, this house is gorgeous, and I have seen a LOT of tiny house tours. Well done, you two! Love all the little extra features you built in!
Your home is absolutely fantastic, you have so much space yet so much storage, the outdoor living space is perfect, love the Murphy bed, thank you so much for showing it keep safe
They did a great job with all the little extras personal touches. I love how he made the bed foot it looks great when the bed is up.
I love the Murphy bed. Best thing in the design.
Greetings from New Zealand. Have to tell you this is the best tiny house I've seen by far. Cant believe the storage and love the private outdoor area. You have built an absolutely amazing home.
I absolutely love their simple style, which is very much my style. I could see myself living in this one. I love the murphy bed, the kick drawers in the kitchen, the drip pan/shelving system for drying dishes, the bathtub, the bathroom sink, their outdoor space, and the list goes on. I'd prefer a flushing toilet that's hooked up to sewer, since it looks like they're pretty well set in that spot, but I guess you can't win them all. Great job!
Ab gorgeous it’s the finishing touches that make it so lovely ❤️❤️
This is the most perfect tiny house I’ve yet seen. Stunning attention to detail. So cozy and homey. I too love the bathtub. And the Murphy bed is a brilliant idea!💕
One of the most thought out homes I've seen. Love it all!
This is by far the most best tiny i have seen.
Lot of space and still a snugg when the bed is down...looks light and everything is usable.
Nice job😊
This tiny house is packed with smart features, ideas, solutions. And what a charming couple who work as an amazing team. Kudos!
This is without a doubt, one of the best tiny house builds on youtube... and I've dozens and dozens of them from the super popular to up-and-coming channels. It's kinda my Netflix :) I took notes... I think the price is a typo though (: ...Details were refined to function well. I've never seen a foot petal for water nor an office with a real life window under the stairs before :D Not to mention a sunken tub and a bed that you can actually stand in! Pure GENIUS!!! Brilliant work Bonnie and Clyde! And the Tiny House Award for innovation well within budget goes to.... Sara and Joel!
It is such a pleasure to see the creativity and uses of space that people design and live in. Why would anyone ever choose to give a thumbs down to someone's dream home? They didn't design it for you; they designed it for themselves. If it isn't your favorite, please just quietly move on.
Really well designed. Love it! Amazing the quality & aesthetics they have for 35k. Speaks to their planning skills. The murphy bed is a huge plus. Thanx for sharing their home. Great couple.
Beautiful
I love this couple. The bed is genius. I can not believe this was $35,000! And that bathtub! What a treasure. Have a happy life!
Well i just love their natural lifestyle she looks so naturally beautiful
Lots of great planning and customizing. The dish dryer, foot pedal, entry way storage space,, spray nozzle in the bathroom and absolutely the entire bed system is very nice.
Very nice house ❣️
They should put that big pillow on the floor in front of the Murphy bed in front of the head board/closet doors so they can sit up in bed comfortably and maybe read a book, watch tv? Then build a storage bench in front of the Murphy bed where the cushion was on the floor not too high so u can still open the bed fully when u take the cushion off and use as a head board cushion. Then when the bed is up more seating for people while your cooking because u said u like to hang out with people in the kitchen. Does that sound good? Maybe even a foldable bench u can slide under the bed? Lovely house💜❤️💜❤️👍😊
Say YES to Murphy beds! So much happiness is exuded from this couple and it created a beautiful space.
Many great ideas. I love the natural light with multiple windows, especially by the bathtub.Also the wood stove is great. I lived in the rainforest in Hawai’i and moisture was a major problem. Love the Murphy bed too! Good job you two.
I've watched so many videos about tiny houses and this is the most beautiful, best designed one I've seen. It's the first one I can imagine living in, particularly because of the lovely wood everywhere, the tub!, the Murphy bed, and the awesome kitchen with a proper sink and stovetop. Every tiny house I see with those loft bedrooms I think, Nope. This is a little bit of heaven.
thank you!
very-well designed tiny house. So homey with all their functionality. Beautiful...
WOW! I couldn't have done better myself. Congrats on an extremely well built "Personal home". Nothing wrong with being a "tiny house" dweller...you're just ahead of the wave.
Are the design plans for sale? I would love to have them including the deck and outdoor storage
You guys did an amazing job...it's comfy and cozy....everything has a place ..love the way you put your desk and have the window for air very smart... your bathroom is nice your 🛁 is amazing...that's cool if you ever have to get a washer and dryer your space is right there... you really seem to have lots of space ...your Murphy bed is nice and the storage around it ample...your deck is awesome and your storage outside for your bins and for your bikes is very smart....Be Safe Be Blessed
Hello Dear how are you doing!!
Wow, I love the Murphy bed. It makes so much room that otherwise one wouldn't have in a tiny house. It is great too for the older person who finds they don't want to climb stairs all the time.I live in Astoria and I'm looking to maybe remodel the garage into a tiny home, and this is a great solution for that space.
Very nice Tiny home with some unique touches.
I've seen a lot of tiny homes that I have liked, but I think this design is the best! I absolutely love it!
Such a smart design. Thanks for sharing lots of great ideas (e.g., the drying rack over the sink, ~ sunken corner tub with surrounding shower curtain, desk built into the stairs going up to the loft, fold-up stair for a place to sit). What a great job by you two.
This is it. My dream tiny house. Was wondering about a murphy bed the other day and BAM, here you folks are. Affordable, beautiful, love it.
Not many people would have been willing to work so hard for so long but it appears to have really paid off: a home so stylishly theirs.
