- Kim has an incredible story behind why she chose to live tiny on the road. You can give up and play the victim, or like Kim, you can pursue your next challenge with tenacity. She is an example to many who want to live life on the road.

OMG!! This is one of THE most beautiful tiny houses I have seen... and I have been looking at them for YEARS NOW. Literally thousands of them! But this one?? All I can say is WOW!!!!! 😍💜👍🏼💜😍💜👍🏼💜😍💜👍🏼💜😍
Susan.... I agree. As small as it is...it doesn't feel or look small. Great design, and I love her decor. Cute little nest for sure.
Check up on Sun Ray. He builds the great Art Homes. I think I said his name right. I believe he lives in Oregon.
@@juliebryan2549 Washington, he makes whimsical homes... if we are talking about the same very eccentric old dude!!
Julie Bryan Thank you! I will!
I agree. It is the very best home
A beautiful unique tiny home.I could live there.
Honestly... She has things and did things I have never saw before. This is now my favorite tiny house. Also... Can we give her a round of claps on how awesome the design and deco is.
I felt the exact same way!!
Ues i totally agree
She is awesome
And her tiny house is too absolutely love it
Wen she says she built it
Does she mean like Built it herself with her own hands No Help from Builders or Carpenters Just herself
Ive always wanted a tiny house thats all ill ever be able to afford and im getting old now so i don't have much time: Else ill be living in my damm car
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Well done
Riri King 👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍👍👍! Love how eclectic it is! Your step stool looks vintage, very nice piece. I admire you for your new life! Happy trails to you!!
@@sandraglover2681 Me too! 😀
Your tiny house is beautiful!! The fact that you built it yourself is just AMAZING to me!! You are such an inspiration to me!! Thank you so much for sharing!!❤
Tool box... brilliant! Step ladder...brilliant! I enjoyed your home.
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
You live life on your terms, "I hear ya". That's a success story within itself.
Very nice home! I love her attitude and her message at the end. It's so true.
Especially the message at the end, you women deserve much more in your lives. All the best from Thomas, Denmark
Love the toolbox in the kitchen, it is very insightful. The entire home is really functional and beautiful at the same time. All the best to Kim on her travels! .
so nice to see a house that totally fits the person who lives in it. Kudos!
Beth Kasten perfectly said! It suits her! Spunky, adventurous and creative...doesn’t seem to start. It looks like it would be peaceful.
I enjoyed listening to this woman's, her tiny house is soooo beautiful, I want to leave here n come with her on her travel, wish u the best
I LOVE her wood floor and counter top, and I especially LOVE that she used Habitat For Humanity's Re-Store to recycle things into her build, and keeping things out of the landfill!!! Awesome tiny home!!
And the toilet’s beautiful.
I really loved to see this film. I've left my ex-husband 2,5 years ago. He kept the house so I have some money now and am seriously thinking about building a tiny house. I know I could do it myself, but I also know I won't have the energy to do it. What you said in the end really touched me. No, I won't let getting divorced stop from forfilling my dreams. In the contrary. I hope to be able to finally live my dreams.
All the best. I got nothing when divorced. And I had 4 kids to raise. I wish I have money to buy land and build me a tiny house.
@@annydobon8106 what kind of legal people did that to you? If you don't mind me asking?
@@greentorm5467 I know of 2 women who followed their husbands with children in tow, and get nothing even when he dies. No house, no money. Both men were in some branch of US Army. These are much older folks. I hope it's not that way now.
I've viewed a lot of tiny homes, regular home renos, conversions of buses and trailers, builders of log cabins in the bush all while putting in many hours assembling shoe inserts that I invented and sell, but this tiny home's builder is the most delightfully inventive, innovative and creative in using found material and repurposing things. The closet made from a door cut lengthwise into two is brilliant and novel. This tiny home has loads of unique effortless style and the builder is a genius salt of the earth lady.
Sweet girl I absolutely love this beautiful home. Wow you're lucky you have a wonderful new home.
A new life, your freedom, your dog,
and best of all peace of mind.
Keep rolling, see the country!
You will find the right place.
Stay safe, I admire you. 😊♥️🦋
when t he shtf you are going to be so set!!! Glad to see your story, and encouragement
by far, this is my favorite.. the house and the owner..she is super cool!
Love it! I'm living in a tiny camper that I've put lots of work into to make a home. My parents and grown daughters think I'm nuts and think I should get an apartment. But it's MINE! All the privacy and silence I could ever want. Plus, I am away from an abusive control freak ex that was always threatening to throw me out. I call my little home, "The Robins Nest". 😊 I rule this roost!
Best, most functional homemade tiny house I've ever seen (of hundreds I've seen). I love, love, love the tool chest kitchen counter/storage and the moveable steps/step stool. Love that it can be off grid and that you used so much recycled and reclaimed items. The bathroom vanity is gorgeous! And two bedrooms! GREAT BUILD!!!
There is something about this tiny house that feels like a real home. That floor! So maybe it’s all the wood and the bay window, the nice improvising. I watched it twice just to be there a little longer. And yeah, she is such a nice person. Thank you for sharing!!
Thisoneis a gem. Everything she loves is there. It looks so comfortable and welcoming. Truly functional and her use of odd things fit in perfect. Lady enjoy your peace and continue to be happy.
This is so great. I wish we could have seen how she built the structure - framing, plumbing, wiring, etc. She is a remarkable, strong, and independent woman.
@warran123 wow...too much time on your hands and hate in your heart.
I love how after a divorce, you started a whole new life. You built your tiny home on your own and now you travel wherever YOU want to go. This tiny home has to be one of my favorites that I have seen so far in the videos that I have watched. Congrats and enjoy your life!! :)
I love the toolbox cabinet in the kitchen.
Ann Herndon ...I know right...adorable idea😍
I love it too. Who would have ever thought of that! Definitely not me!❤️
best idea! next time I'm in Home Depot I'm checking them out.... then looking for a garage sale!!!
One of the best and unique ideas. I bet so many garages have no longer really used ones.
@@SarahJamesJazz Lol
I’ve seen hundreds of tiny houses and this is by far my most favorite! Not only is Kim delightful, but the house looks like a home with all of her personalized decorating. I wish I could have seen how the bedrooms fit above the door.
I needed this. I just turned 60 and have been in the process of building (sorta) my tiny house for 5 yrs. Have my 24' trailer (bought 4 yrs ago). I had the money but trusted the wrong person to help and got taken to the cleaners. After 2 yrs, I finally got my trailer back with a very crude shell built on top. I have to tear it apart and start over. And with all my years of research and collecting items for my house...I'm scared. I want this more than anything (for my retirement) and won't give up but putting that first foot forward in the actual building, which I have no experience, is daunting. Thanks for the very much needed encouragement!! You're right! If you can do it, and the 16 yr old I saw last week can do it, and the mother/daughter duo I saw can do it, so can I!! I just need to pull up my big girl panties and pick up a hammer and drill and get started in ernest. You have a beautiful home. One I'd be very proud of. Best Wishes on your journey! And thanks again. ;)
Annie, you've got this girl. Be gracious to yourself when it come to getting this done. Your "lessons" learned will be an encouragement to others. :)
I too dream of owning a tiny home since buying a conventional home after being divorced appears to not be obtainable. Not sure if I have the ability or the support from others around me to build one.😢 When I mention tiny home to my family they think I'm crazy but I truly feel like this is for me and that I would be happy. I truly am wishing you the best and I hope you are able to build the tiny home of your dreams.
Good Luck to you Annie! So excited for you!
Annie Jacks... GO FOR IT!!! U CAN DO IT ♥️♥️...
@@tashaburgess3753 U CAN do it!!! what I find amazing about this life is that once you set your mind to a thing and begin...help ALWAYS comes. My family has called me crazy for years, guess what, I have more fun than ALL of them put together. ha! This is YOUR lift, live it as YOU please. ♥️
I never comment on these things but one of the best builds I’ve ever saw in my life great job I finally can see myself living like this just because of you it just makes sense beautiful beautiful build
I think this is my favorite yet. I love how she's made the best use of the toolbox, desk dresser, ect. Half moon windows. I really admire when she said she doesn't believe in chemical cleaners. She's wise.
Such a brave and independent lady. Living the life that she loves along with the cutest sidekick.
a beautiful story of adaptive survival.
Ahhhhh I love Maisy the little frenchie, French bulldogs are so cute! Cool home!
Ok...i want to be her when i grow up. Love her & her tiny house too!
Have you asked her whether she would want to be exactly like her if she had a chance to change things? Be you. Seek what You want. Maybe your wants might be what she wants but be sure you don't know every detail about her to desire to be her.
@@HB-sc7wu What a weird, unnecessary, lecture. It's okay to compliment someone, and imply admiration of their tenacity, or character, by saying, "I want to be her/him." I don't think anyone needed a lecture on "greener pastures." Lol
I loved the hand painted sink in the bathroom, very colorful!
OMG , I really love this one, so unique, colorful, I especially love all the repurposed items, brilliant, kudos to her. Thank You , Tiny Home Tours for sharing great content.
I enjoyed Your home, I'm a Widow, and need a tiny home. Thank You for Your inspiring Video.
It's so cozy. Big is not always better. A home is what you make it.
Wishing you well with you future plans......
Kim -- I love your home! It has a beautiful organic vibe. I wish you every happiness on your tiny-home journey.
This is the best tiny home I've seen so far, and I've watched thousands of videos 😁 This is my favorite. Also I love the decoration and design, I'm a big fan of sun themed tapestry!
Your tiny home is well thought out. The tool box/kitchen cabinet is a great idea-turn a key and lock all the drawers. Love your bathroom mirror because it looks rustic. You've done well! Thank you for sharing.
Love her personality and the pooch! I enjoyed this one, thank you so much.
Excellent Video⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! This tiny house on wheels is terrific!
Everything makes sense ! I wish this lady all the luck in the world !
What a wonderful journey you are embarking on! 💜👍🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
Love this because of the warmth and coziness! No all white minimalist for this gal and I love her eclectic style. Great repurposing and thinking outside the box. Darling dog. I wish I could be this lady’s friend.👍🏼
@@enna4986 Let her be your friend in your mind and soul, maybe you'll meet her one day....you'll never know....Thomas, Denmark
I love this tiny house..it's got like a hippie vibe going on! Looks really cozy.
I absolutely love Kim’s personality and the vibe of her tiny home! Out of all of the tiny homes and alternative living spaces I’ve seen, hers is one of my absolute favorites.💜
really appreciate how she’s completely off-grid and reuses and repurposes things. like how you have suns throughout your home in a tasteful way. That sink... and Maisy... 😍🥰
She seems like someone I would get along very well with.
Kim, if you see this, please give Maisy love for me! She is beautiful and so cute. 💓Namaste to both of you, as well as wishes for safe, happy, fun travels. 🌻🌻 ✌️
The house is cute...but also you are pretty precious! Seems like a great adventure team.
Nice build, very homey and creative! Happy travels to you! 😀😀😀
Tool box kitchen drawers and small wooden ladder were great features. So many amenities for a single traveler. And she did it herself! Great!
This is so beautiful and peaceful-looking. I think it's now one of my favorites. And your dog is pretty darn precious!
5:33 I have a Gladiator Workbench in my Kitchen that we use as a counter. Everyone loves it. My Fiance was nervous at first until he saw it. My next plan was to get the Tool drawers to go underneath. Now I can show him before just doing it...
I'm getting so impatient to get on the road after retirement. Although I want to travel in a class B, this is beautiful. Hope she finds her property to have her home-base.
That locking toolbox is brilliant! I might get one for my home kitchen! Everything looks really practical, but it all does seem heavy, when taken together. Your truck must be powerful!
You have a such a beautiful home thank you for sharing have a great day
What an inspiring lady! She's built an amazingly beautiful and practical home for herself - my hat's off to her!
Love the tool box idea for kitchen draws, and the one lock system, Nice!
I have watched hundreds of tiny house tour videos, and this hands down is my favorite! It literally incorporates SO many things I love, like the sun/moon theme! I love the "comfy area" with bay window! I adore the tool box idea! I really love the bathroom... The mirror above the toilet is beautiful, and the mirror with tiffany style lamps (my favorite kind of lamp) is gorgeous! I also love it when a tiny house has a bath tub. I just am totally in love with this house!!! Ohh, and I love the bathroom sink, and all the cloth tapestries!! Love Love LOVE!!!
PS- Miss Maisy is precious!!
I didn’t hear your name but what a beautiful build!! Not only did u make it ur own but u repurposed so so much and totally made them ur own as well! Awesomeness and super amazing!! Congrats!! Just so u know if u look around the St. John’s area of AZ there is acreage small and big for sale for usually under $1000 an acre. It all sits over two large aquifers of water if u wanna drill but even rain catchment is welcome and sustains families w children even around Phoenix area. No restrictions basically and solar wind or whatever welcome. Lots of wildlife and the even better part mild weather year round. Is even listed as the most moderate weather year round online even outdoing Florida, Cali, Colorado u name it. Rarely gets into the 90s much less above it and winters are mild also especially once sun is up for the day. I am saving up now to move. Land can have low down and low payments no credit required for those interested really easy to accomplish for most. Some in city lots most outside of city but city is small town life with a middle to small country population size and really warm and inviting people. Weather is mild do to white mountains and puts one at about 6000 ft above sea level but not big snowfall and what does fall is gone within 24 to 48 hours max. All of my love the love blessings and grace of our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY unto all of you and yours today tomorrow and for always!!!
One of the best I've seen. The ceiling is so high it looks just like an ordinary house. Wasn't expecting the bedroom upstairs even so. What a fine job.
Beautiful house, love it, and her cute pup,she did so well❤
What an inspiration Kim is! Her beautiful dog and her gorgeous tiny house. What a wonderful life she has made for herself.
Awesome home, did a great job with the layout
LOVE this lady, her style, her dog, her house, her life! 😍😍😍
Love your home it’s so beautiful. I would love to do this and probably never look back.
Beautiful tiny house! One of the most practical ones that I have seen. Love the toolbox counter and under the stair storage. You are so talented
I use those paper shades in my conventional home for years because I hated the way dust always collected on traditional shades; living in the country can be quite dusty in Texas.
Dagmar Riley .yup, I have them too. Used to be four dollars, now they're five, at Family Dollar. After a few years the adhesive wears out, and I used a few thumbtacks. Voila.
U OL ....lol mine have thumbtacks holding them up now.
My hat is off to you for the job you did, let alone taking it on! Glad you did! Enjoy and hope to see you down the road!
You're VERY resourceful! Lots of innovative repurposing.
Very nice tiny home, good dog and lovely woman. Good luck with your trip further into your new and long life...Thomas, Denmark
Kim, you are an inspiration! Good. For. You. Your home is adorable, so many lovely and artistic finishes. A solo woman, I recently purchased a shuttle bus and had it converted into an RV. My home base is in FL, but I spend summers in western NY. I would love to meet you on the road some day. By the way, I have a lot on a canal in FL that is zoned for mobile homes and trailers. If your travels ever bring you to FL, and you are interested, message me!
I would love to live in a tiny home like yours. Lots of practical features with a homey feeling. And to be able to travel around....that's definitely a plus. You are an inspiration!
Thank you for sharing...
This was a very inspirational video for me.....
This by far the best tiny house I've seen yet. Comfortable, quaint, well planned and dog friendly. Lovely!
Wow, that's a awesome build and a awesome lady. Well Done !!!
I love the resourcefulness. Most people can't afford custom craftsmanship for every aspect of their home, so it's amazing to have someone show what you can accomplish by being smart and committed.
Saw the preview on your Instagram! Super cute ! Love how it seems just so livable
Very comfortable, very cozy, very good for the nervous system and happiness, not to depend on others, and to feel the bliss of childhood as we played in small houses like a fairy tale, surrounded by the blue light of the sky!🕊🌎💖
This home is perfect! Practical and very cozy, comfy. I love her decor. 👍👍👍
a happy, well adjusted, self motivated, friendly, loving person.
Cool repurposing choices ,you go girl!
This tiny is gorgeous!! Well done! It's got so much personality. I bet it was fun finding all the furniture. What a great idea for less expensive storage (tool box!)
You've inspired me today and I feel like I may get a chance to build my own sooner than later. Thanks!!!
Absolutely love it!! And this person
Wow! She did such a good job! As a divorced woman myself, it’s great to know these possibilities are out there❣️
Hi from Northern Minnesota!!!
I want to be on the road so bad!
Beautiful home!!
I’m impressed with the home 🏠 and the builder...my goodness....my twin. I do a lot of construction 🔨 being an RE broker/investor and am ready to pull the trigger on a tiny home project. Well done!
This home is charming and beautiful, just like the owner's personality. What was the final cost of the build?
This lady is amazing with what she built. Loved tool box cabinet. Looks sharp. The little stool with grippers to hold in place was ingenious. Bathroom looks very spacious. Loved bathroom sink.
Very creative built... very functional.
Anyone else noticed how she called her DVD player her VCR? Some of you younger viewers might not remember VCRs. 😆
I suppose it says something about my age that I didn't even notice.
Yes
Wasn't that funny,
She is a gorgeous lady
And i wish her all the happyness ⚘
Totally what I was thinking, Ruth! I totally didn’t notice haha!
@@ruthfannin9990 I was thinking the same thing, lol
Great! Im going thru a divorce, too. You are so strong and have built yourself an amazing and beautiful home. I wish the very best for you.
Me, personally, I'm stuck in Germany with my 4 kiddos, so tiny house living isn't yet possible for me. But, I hope to one day get there so I, too, can have a tiny house.
Right now, I'm going through 20 years of accumulated stuff and cleansing myself from it all. Wife abandoned us, so I have to sort/discard everything myself. That's one thing these videos don't touch upon so much: getting rid of 95% and the emotions doing so. But, I'll get there eventually. Can't wait til then. I think it'll feel so refreshing to have very little.
Peace and genuinineness to you'all.
beyond adorable and oh so homey
I loved it! I think my favorite part was the use of the toolbox. What a great idea! I think it’s so neat that you built it yourself and it’s a really lovely home!
I'm from MN too. This looks so comfy and cozy.
This is 1 of my favorite builds I basically just watch and don't ever comment hardly. She has everything placed just right to me. We have different decor tastes but I love I and it works amazing for her she did an extremely good job.
Beautiful Home 💞 you are so inspiring, thank you for sharing with us.
You are amazing!! So nice to have come across your video. I have been on my own for a long time and am terrible in sorting my little house out. Watching you speak has been inspiring; on the road is a bit too adventurous for me at 60 and also with a terrible memory... I love what you have done and will hopefully follow your journey... xx
I really enjoyed listen to her and she did great building her tiny house
Wow, this is beautiful and with so many creative touches. You should be super proud of yourself. My divorce was final this April and I have a big broken down house to fix so I appreciate the inspiration you've given me. Hard to believe you're not an experienced builder - you really rock!
Loving the life you living now. Imagine the freedom to go anywhere. Keep safe and god bless.
Well thought out and so homey and comfortable, love it and admire you for all you have done. You go Girl!!! Enjoy it all.
Good for you ... hope that you continue to thrive in your travels!!
happy for her. she was in an unhappy situation, she got herself out of it & is pursuing an adventure for herself! takes guts & smarts.
Love her tiny house
Very awesome tiny house! No need for doors with those amazing colored material. What a great idea with those paper shades, who knew! Love the natural and colors! Thank you for your encouragement in making something so beautiful and simple! 😘❤️❤️❤️
Hi, what a great home, and mazie, is so cute. Your home is very well thought out. Just perfect.
I love the idea of that little storage shed because this is how you would handle storage on a regular house and it is makes so much sense - just have not seen it in a lot of tiny houses.
Beautiful living space, congrats on your new beginning. Mazie is so sweet.....Happy Trails....
Mary Grace ....totally agree..
I love it, I am a 54yr old woman that will probably have to do the same thing this stage of my life, after the corona virus situation is over or safe, Good luck to you stay safe
Your house came out perfect I love the toolbox and fireplace.
What a nice, very pleasant and wise woman. Love her and this video!
