- Full Tiny House Tour! WATCH Short, Poignant Interview w/Meg & Dan:
• INTERVIEW on Just-Righ...
Inside Meg and Dan's tiny home, The Lucky Linden.
Meg designed the Linden originally for the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. Though her Lucky Linden was customized especially for herself and Dan. It's expression of their personal design aesthetic and all the things they most love and love to do-- like puzzles and video games! Meg built it completely by herself, too.
Their DIY home is an refreshing example of how living tiny doesn't mean depriving yourself of the things you enjoy. Instead the tiny enables them to emphasis what they cherish the most, a true self-portrait of Meg and Dan's life together.

I really like the way she designed the stairs to the loft.
i didn’t even notice the stairs until she pointed it out. that was really clever
I was actually looking at the stairs, thinking that they were shelves and wondering why there's nothing on them. Amazing, but I would be a little frightened to use them every day, they look like they would break down one day.
I thought they were small shelves.
@@jamariegdia8014 just put holder made of wood/iron on the left edge that connect each steps, to help holding the total weight.
I think this house is the nicest design of many I've viewed on youtube. So homey, airy and cozy. It should be the blue print.
This is going to be the ultimate option for the new generation if they ever want to be independent here in Vancouver, Canada. Real state prices are insane here. Maintenance fees, property tax, utilities so expensive.
I think these people are a good example of what it takes to get away from excessive consumerism and use stuff that they really need. Good for them. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
People who have tiny houses seem so humbled and just down to earth 🌏
I disagree. I think it’s a step out of the rat race. A step outside of the mental exhaustion that they world wants us to be.
@@pastorstephentucker4642 I'd love to live in a tiny house
In the richest country in the world people cannot find affordable housing anymore.
lol meanwhile they are going fucking crazy in there.
It would drive me C R A Z Y.
YOU CAN'T EVEN MOVE IN THERE.
Small houses are alright. This too extreme.
Nice place for kids to play in, or a guest house when needed.
Struggling college/ part time minimum wage workers should be allow to rent tiny houses like this in a tiny house area for a reasonable price
We agree
Yes, and disabled people as well.
Better to purchase and then if and when you wish to increase your space as your circumstances change you have something to sell on. Rent is simply paying someone else’s mortgage plus their profit.

Love how your husband just sweeps the counter stuff out onto the floor! LOL!
Lol, I know. My husband is 64 and STILL does that! 🙄
-- the puppies are waiting.
That's what the doggies were for, lol!
SUCH a guyish thing to do (in my experience).
I thought i was trippin like wth
Can we just appreciate how amazing this princess bride poster is?
I noticed that too!!
I'm surprised not to see Euro-style wet room showers in tiny houses -- it's a set-up also common in tiny Japanese apartments and hotel rooms.
Water-sheath all walls, make the entire floor into a drain pan that empties to the far end of the room away from the toilet. Hang a shower curtain on a rail AROUND THE TOILET, not the shower area. Now the entire bathroom area (minus toilet) becomes the shower -- the extra 12-24 inches in front of the toilet would really make this home's 24x24 shower area spacious if the two were added together. Use a squeegee on a 30-inch handle to whisk away water drops from the walls and floor, the next person to use the toilet can move the curtain out of the way, let it drip dry in the meantime.
Keep toiletries and tooth brushes in a bin or basket and set them outside the room when showering.
If I had enough money, I'd hire a tiny-house designer to apply their space-saving ideas to my normal-sized house, so that it feels like a mansion :P
Yes, I have taken to calling my small house my tiny mansion.
Do it yourself:)
elliest 55 V̤̮ . ,

Barry Barry what if he has like 6 kids and a grandma living with them? then it’s quite enough for their family
People wouldn’t need to worry about going poor if the live this small. This house is a money saver.
Great space saving innovations! Forced to think of everything, you rose to so many challenges!
Better use of a tiny space than some of the professionally designed places i've seen! Great job!
Awww I love the Octopus coat hanger! And WOW! It's the LADY who's the builder here! That's pretty cool, I like the new trend of the masculine and feminine balancing out across the board in all aspects of life :)
Nice! I'd sacrifice the living space for a freezer and oven. Maybe nix the poarch to keep the living space size, but shift it over. Then store a removable poarch for when parked.
Good idea for the porch and you can even add shade over it with an awning. The awning are retractable, like the ones we see over RV's
Definitely!!!
I saw images of this house in mid construction maybe a year or two ago. Was so disappointed that there were no finished pictures. What a surprise when I saw the thumbnail ... I knew it was the house in those old pictures. Couldn't have clicked any faster! This house is the kind that turned me onto the tiny house movement like a decade ago. It's Jay Shaefer style. Well proportioned. Architecturally beautiful. Wonderful. Wish there were more tiny houses like this to look at on all these tiny house shows. The ones on TV are mostly out of out proportion box-like McMansions on wheels.
NicholsKT love hearing that! This is definitely a very liveable and charming tiny home. Check out Megbuilds.com to learn more 😊
I like the open feel of the main area, plenty of sunlight, and all the artwork. Your home has a nice balance of masculine/feminine tastes in the decor. And incorporating the kitchen countertop into the stairs is really different, and a creative way to save space.
these things are like a TARDIS. so small on the outside but actually fairly roomy on the inside.
The way he looks at her. So much love ❤️
you can still bake cookies. make your recipes as you would. then use a frying pan or pot big enough to hold an heat resistant insert and prop it up off the surface of the pan. (mason jar rings are what ive used in the past) Next choose a baking pan maybe a pie tin from a pot pie, or a non stick plate, etc.Then put your cookie, quick bread, pie or whatever in and well cover the pot. The one thing I cant advise you on is the heat. You must figure out what the heat of your stove is like while doing this. I baked this way over an open campfire. Works wonderful. just keep and eye on it. Good luck
You could also bake cookies or brownies in a solar cooker like the Gosun. Check it out.
Not a lover of the so called bathroom door , i would need a bi-fold or something better than a curtain , but a nice little house i think your right with the sofa seating it's easier just pulling stuff out from underneath that lifting things up
Sue Burgess Fabs are very effective un removing smells. Besides, Clean Eating Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes ensure less smelly poop😊
Pocket doors.
If I was a guest in the home, I would feel pretty self-conscious in that bathroom.
BEAUTIFUL COUPLE. VERY NICE HOME , ARTISTIC, BRIGHT!
I absolutely love everything about your tiny home. I want this life really bad. I’m a Veteran rebuilding my life and this just gives me hope and makes me extremely happy! Wishing I could start today.
God bless
So true, the one thing most of these home do not consider is the long haul, getting olde and disabled, there are some great designs out there especially for disabled veterans but each tiny home I believe needs to custome designed for the best outcome. Prayers for your journey.
Bronte Wilson you should start a gofundme
Thank you for your service...I hope you were able to acclimate back to home life and that you are happy.
If that's your desire then the Lord will make possible your desires.
An inspiring book with lots of ideas for a variety of garden buildings The instructions are detailed and clear with plenty of photos. As a beginner czcams.com/users/postUgkxlg1H4xyrEBR03VoimQHdPx6Ebmzrr0nO I was looking for a manual that would walk me through the basics with detailed instructions and this book does just that. The book caters to both the beginner and more experienced DIY enthusiast with builds varying in complexity, from straightforward projects such as the one we've completed, to more ambitious builds. Absolutely on trend, with instructions on how to install solar panels, green roofs and sweet chestnut shakes - It's given me lots of ideas for future projects!
I like the house overall. Stepping on the countertop to go to the bedroom and cooking without a chimney is a big no no for me. I like my clothes and my space smelling fresh and being clean. Also proper ventilation is a must have in small places for mold prevention.
The house looks quite grand once inside! So well done and cozy. I both love and am terrified of the stair set-up into the loft, but the craftsmanship and design behind it is so well done and unique. Great example of taking advantage of storage space in this tiny house. This couple looks so happy and comfortable - so glad they shared their story!
I LOVE this house, it feels like a real home. Other tiny homes are so perfectly sleek they look more like a display than something people live in - for example, the clothing on the shelves that is actually in a variety of colors and shades rather than all neutrals and there are more than 6 shirts - best of all, it blends nicely with original artwork that shows the personality of the owners. I dont wonder how they live here because I feel I can see it. The upstairs storage loft is fantastic.
oh I'm just in love with this tiny! for such a small 'tiny' it's soo homely and doesn't feel enclosed or like a box at all and this couple and their sweet pups are just adorable! I want to hire her to design my tiny! ❤️
Kudos kiddo! You done good!!😉 Seriously- You did a fabulous job on your THOW! Words are inadequate!
*YOU BUILT YOUR HOME!!*
Few people can say that!
Yes, a toaster over (for which you sacrifice counter space) OR a Coleman portable camp oven, which fits on a burner and seems to bake really well - and folds up flat when not in use.
Tyma fes I doubt that response is sponsored. I also have a Coleman camp oven, and I have used it on my propane cooktop. I also suggested it, actually. I like that it folds down to a fraction of the size when not in use. And I don't work for Coleman. I'm a travel nurse and I do tiny house living in my RV.
If you have storage you only sacrafice counter space when in use..other than that it can be stored away just like most people do with blenders or rice cookers.
A trick to "Baking" without an oven. I have just recently purchased a 9" round rack off amazon.
(Team Far round cooling rack, 9” Round Baking Steaming Roasting Rack, Stainless Steel, Dishwasher Safe), They also can be found in 8" size too. So to "Bake", lay your stainless steel rack into your Cast Iron Skillet, (what I use), Then pour some water into the bottom of the skillet, lay wax or foil paper over the rack, place your cookies or biscuits or pizza, turn heat up high to start water steaming, then place your items to cook, on the rack, and cover with a lid. Add more water to skillet as needed, then let it evaporate, as your items cook thru, just watch your cooking as it cooks Really FAST, Then when water is evaporated, and you want to lightly "Brown" your baked, cookies, pizza, etc. Just slide it off the rack, or flip it into the skillet, for 1 min, to brown, and turn to brown other side if necessary. Our Oven has been broke for a long time, and this is how I bake the few items I need to. Works pretty well. Thinking when we go tiny, we have do a microwave/Convection, or just a large Toaster Oven, but the skillet method works very well, to NOT heat up the HOUSE.
Im in love now,and not for the tiny,what a beautiful lady!!
Inconceivable! The Princess Bride! Always feel a kinship to people who appreciate that movie! Beautiful home you've created and not just beautiful but cozy and comfortable! The kitchen sink is the piece de resistence!
T. A. Bernhardt | OMG I saw you comment that word and I was like "hold up, that's from The Princess Bride!" . Haha I love that movie! And now that I have found people that appreciate that movie I feel at home.. *cough cough* *my home is CZcams lol*
Someone else that noticed, I have to believe I wasn't the only person to do so.
I literally just invited friends over to watch that movie for one of my birthdays.
My home is actually a small closet inside the store I own. I am a minimalist so I didn’t think I needed to buy a whole house when there was an empty closet that I could move around in. Also, there is a bathroom and kitchen in the back room of my store that I could use to live. So, needless to say, I most likely live in one of the smallest houses on earth.
how many sq m that closet ?
I would.love to see it. Why not make a video
I think this is the first tiny house that I have not ben over the top in awe of. But if they love it that’s all that matters! 😁
This is a really nice layout. I like that they have a big place to sit or even lie down in the living space. It looked pretty small from the outside but because she kept it open and airy inside, it looks much more spacious.
Just charming!!!! The home and the folks. Thanks.
Love this couple
The stairs are genius! I’ve never seen such a unique design for stairs.
You should be very house proud! Congrats on a great job.
Lovely, airy and well planned home.
Be happy! ☺
Love this little house - probably the nicest one I've seen that size, for no more than 2 people. i'd probably add a foot more to the porch, and to the bathroom (along with a pocket door), but otherwise perfect. Very lovely interior decoration, molding, light walls/med-dark wood ceilings and such. Love the stairs, they really just fade into the background.
Anne Thornton well said on the stairs! The only tiny house we've seen with this style of stairs. Meg was incredibly thoughtful about the design and functionality of the space. 😊👍
The porch could be effectively widened by placing a movable platform (or platforms) along the front.
Anne Thornton i was thinking the same thing
A place for your board games! Now this.. this one is really lived in.
like the idea of open storage under sofa - more useful with puppies too. Inconceivable! loved. Wish I had done that with my brooch collection. That's fabulous. Really great couple with a lovely home.
You two look so happy in that little house. Smart couple!
Excellent work. I think the tiny houses are the next big thing. Your house looks super cosy. You have earned yourself an admirer....💖
This one will forever be my favorite
The broach tree tapestry😍😍😍 How coo that she's a builder, blessing!
I like the design! For myself, the only things I would change is a railing for my clumsy bum and a tiny oven and a small freezer on my fridge. I really like the bigger living room space, good job you guys!
Zero tour of the upstairs - just a quick shot for a second. Felt like something major was left out of this tour.
yes thought the same thing would have liked to see entire Loft/bedroom too
You saw it. They walked up the stairs then you saw them watching tv or playing a video game that was it. Nothing more to it than a place to sleep
VERY BEAUTIFUL TINY HOUSE
I think this is my all time favourite tiny house. The only things I would change is:
1. Put a little mirrored sliding door over the folded clothes (not the baskets).
2. Put 3 additional steps to the lofted area above the couch. Brilliant design. Well done
No oven...no freezer...no washer/dryer...no way. That's giving up too much.
Suzanne Ralph most people give these things up in a year or less, it’s just not realistic to live a North American lifestyle in this little space. My house is 700 sq ft and with one child I’d never consider living in a smaller place
You can clean with soap, water and a bucket, wind and sun there it is your dryer.
Federica Olaso Artucio how long is that gonna last before it gets incredibly old.. we live in the 21st century, why anyone wants to revert back to old ways that take more work and time is beyond me
@@Beandiptheredneck Sometimes for financial reasons. We're living in an age of expensive, unaffordable housing for many, coupled with low wage paying jobs. Even those who make good money sometimes can't afford a regular house. If someone has the skills to build a tiny house, or family members that do, then they can save a lot of money on building a house and not have a mortgage and not have to worry about apartment living which can also be inconvenient and a hassle in many ways, and is also overpriced in many places. And of course, if they have to build it themselves, it's probably a lot easier to build a tiny house. And also they want to keep it so it can be easily moved. What I don't understand is why they don't have an outside patio furniture. They would expand their living space a lot when the weather is warmer.
Sandra Gray I know all about the housing market being too high. No young person in my area can afford to buy, that said I think I’d rather try to find a house than to build one of these tiny dysfunctional things, and at the end of it all you own is the trailer, not the land or the right to put it anywhere. Without property and someone willing to let you put it on theirs you are effectively homeless anyways
Sweet tiny home and a sweet couple!
Cute and cozy.
I love seeing powerful women who are the builders in the family!
Lovely home, lovely couple.
Beautiful tiny home! The ceilings looks gorgeous. Would have loved to see more of that :)
The broach quilt is very sweet and dude...you're a luuuucky guy!
This is a perfect tiny house when all of your kids are grown and they moved out of the house. I love it and it is just beautiful.
I’m a medical laboratory scientist from Alabama :) loved your tiny house!
Those stairs are almost invisible and take up practically zero space, great design
Seamless...I was wondering how they got up there in the back of my head while listening. It wasn't that obvious.
I love the steps appearance but stepping on the counter is gross to me. Plus every step is kicking a little bit of dirt off the bottom of socks onto the dishes/kitchen counter😊
I don't hate it, but I couldn't imagine stepping on the counter to get to the loft, that would kill the meat freak in me
That's the one thing i didn't like. Stepping onto the kitchen counter to get up to the sleeping loft is just awkward
Carolyn : I had the opposite reaction. That stair design was my favorite detail. I wipe my counters for dust every morning.
How much weight do they hold and where can I get the step shelves? Best THOW idea I ever saw!
Lol, love the typo.
I step ( and sit) on my counters and mine aren't stairs. And if I'm not, my cats are. Bleach spray at hand, and I live alone so not grossing anyone else out. Plus, I don't entertain.
SUPERCLEVER DESIGN!!! BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE, AND PRACTICAL. ONLY ONE THING! MEDICAL STUFF SHOULD BE KEPT IN A DRY PLACE❤ THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
Didn't see the tiny house, I was seen her, she's so gorgeous. Great project.
Love the color scheme and cute dogs. Impressive use of space for such a tiny place. I still think I'd want a bigger one, but that one is well thought out.
There is something called a NuWave (@ a 12" diameter footprint) that runs on 110 volts that could give you an oven.
I love how the water to and from the house was explained, as well as the electric, too many of these type of videos don't do that
VERY APPEALING!!!! Practical, charming, beautiful. Congratulations......wonderful job!!!!!
beautiful couple. they look so happy.
This is one of the most relaxed, comfortable, and well designed tiny house I've seen to date! and wow your personalities sold me when you pulled out the Wii U!
I will say for any criticism related comments, the bathroom would've been great with a kind of slide door for privacy and some maybe some side window like coverage for the clothes so the stench of strong foods wouldnt be able to latch on as well
We haven't had any problems with food smells in our clothes. Maybe we don't cook stenchy foods?
Ur nose is getting brown stop blowing smoke up their butt. Better tiny homes on youtube. And she aint all that. Washroom next to kitchen mmmmm poop smelling steak
@@MrTopsoil911 It's just the two of them majority of the time. That's why you have air conditioner. And if it's the best tiny house to them, then that's their opinion.
Oh I love the layout. .so many are identical but this is completely different! Wish my building skills were half as good!
One of the better small tiny home designs.
It is beautiful, love the architecture and colors. Thanks for sharing.
Love the steps that are just strong shelves! Very nicely done!
With the extrawide counters, surely there is room for a convection oven for this man.He sounded disappointed at not having the option for an oven.Man get you an oven!!😁😁
Loving the "inconceivable" poster from the Princess Bride.
Great detail and tour. Home is stunning and space is well thought out. Also nice camera work!
tiki lebby thank you very much! 💖
Beautifull tiny. I like the walls finishing: wainscoting is it? It has the feeling of a century home. Cozy and quaint. They can pack up and go in a jiffy or almost. I was wondering where they store the seasonal items such as winter coats and I remembered the storage loft. I love the heated floors, that makes a big difference in comfort! Toasty feet, dry boots. They don't have a washing machine, they didn't mention how they arrange for laundry.
Please introduce the tiny home by telling the size and the time they lived in it. Thanks.
What a lovely tiny house you created and that broach quilt....stunning. What a lovely talented gift from your mother. A real keep sake and very special.
Your dogs shows me the happiness of your family ❣
your home looks very welcoming. i too have costume jewelry brooches from my grandmum & great grandmum in my jewelry case that i do love but i hardly get to look at...so that hanging piece is a wonderful idea. i am going to try to do something similar. thanks!
Also why don't tiny house builders ever build the bathroom on the opposite side of the kitchen? Sorry there is just something gross about pooping while your cooking!
Mama Cat I used to think the same, but while watching another tiny home video, they claimed they do it that way for there's less plumbing/installation to deal with. Maybe one could place the stove/cooking range further from the bathroom door?
i totally agree
I have never pooped will cooking
Mama Cat because both bathrooms and kitchens use plumbing. They put the 2 rooms that use plumbing together for efficiency. Also they generally like to put the lofts over the bathroom & kitchen so the living room can feel more spacious with the higher ceiling.
Mama Cat good point !

If you put heavy hinges and a drop down platform you can have a bigger porch. Just lift and lock to front posts with pins when you move it. When stationary drop it down with the step under it for support or fold down legs.
Love the living room, you can have visitors and both of you can lie down!
Great job, Meg. Not surprised that your personal house would be one of the best I've seen. As an admirer of your work, it's great to finally see what you did in your own space. Impressive.
Lots of comments on here are annoying and rude.
"I would do it this way..."
"I don't like they way they did that..."
"Would be better if..."
"You shouldn't have done this..."
Wow. Lame. Who asked them? None of these people will ever build a tiny house. They just watch CZcams videos and criticize. Oh well, they are all experts who presume the world wants their opinion, I guess.
Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House thank you for kind words! For the critics, all we can say is do you. Take notes for what you would do differently for your home and remember to each their own. 😊👍
Agreed.
But...
It's still rude. I would have done things differently from Meg & Dan. There are facets of the house that I don't like. But I'm not going to start spouting off and listing them. You know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY HOUSE! They don't require my approval to love the way they live. They created THEIR dream. They were not building _mine_. I would rather praise their tenacity and drive to accomplish their ambitions, not criticize them because they failed to build their house exactly the way I would have done it. You know?
ACTUALLY, CZcams channels benefit by people commenting what they like and what they would change for their own needs. This isn't rude for the most part, it's a good thing, as people are imagining themselves in smaller spaces. Every channel has the option for no comments if they can't handle feedback. Great vid and awesome home!
Luthorville: Building an Off-Grid Mojave Tiny House your kidding right?
It's TOTALLY rude, intrusive, and outright obnoxious. I agree.
this is one of the best most functional tiny houses i ever seen
I think it’s very fascinating living in a miniature size of what houses are now a days. I have seen people always live beyond their means and are always I. Debt due to it. Living smaller is smarter and more economical . My dream is to live like this .
Love this tiny house, it's so cute
I would love to know the measurements of this home.
The counter tops are gorgeous and the steps to loft integrated there! I was amazed that thee art added rather than cluttering. The brioche tree is beautiful as well as ingenious. It was really surprising how much storage you have!!!
We believe it is 20'x8'x13'5" 👍
.....it's also like the Tardis...looks TINY on the outside but WOW when you step inside...what a surprise!.....LOVE it!☺🤗👍
I love this tiny house. That's almost exactly what I need.
Very beautiful! You guys did a wonderful job on the build. The color of the tiny house is gorgeous and I love the big sink. We live in an RV that came with a really tiny sink and low faucet that we need to replace because it drives me nuts trying to wash dishes in it.
I like this tiny house. The only thing that I don't like is how the toilet is right next to the kitchen with no door. If someone needs to take a number two and the other person is cooking, the smell would throw me off completely and I would lose my appetite. But I do love the table and I would totally get one even if I don't live in a tiny house.
I think it would be easy to add a water closet at the other end if that's a priority, as its a composting model
It would be awkward if you were doing a noisey poop, holding in the farts would be hell with someone outside hahaha
Exactly, like what if you have visitors??
Sevi Lay lovely but I don't like the loo, very unhygienic
r lune haven’t seen one like that yet, but makes so much sense.
I love the counter top ideas. I don't want a ladder so I appreciate anyway people can compact the stairway area to the bedroom. Definitely helps the space out! awesome house.
So cozy and homey and practical. You have added enough windows so that it does not look closed in. Very pretty!
Awesome layout!
He is so precious the number of their house is their wedding anniversary! Very cute and organized couple. Thanks for video Tiny House Expedition!
☺️✨👌You are most welcome!
I love all the board games
Your super tiny house is so perfect and so beautiful. I love to have a house just like that. Enjoy you life. Stay happy and healthy. May God protect and bless you.
That's inconceivable
