VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
KC and Momo decided to rent their beloved large home and move into a tiny home to manage the finances for their new business. Their business, Momo's Michelada Mix, is an upcoming and fabulous mix they make, bottle, and distribute through Farmer's Markets and personal orders.
The main living space of this tiny home is where they store most of their supplies alongside a large couch, cat castle, and mounted TV. The master loft has low ceilings but suits their sleeping needs with extra storage space. In the kitchen, you'll find a full-size fridge/freezer, a washer/dryer, and a mobile island they use for additional food prep counter space.
Momo and KC are extremely friendly and love the community this tiny home is stationed in. If you live in Austin and are interested in a Tiny Home, KC helps facilitate tiny home resells! Feel free to email to the address linked below!

Hey guys this is KC and Momo the owners and we just wanna help clear some confusion. We love our tiny home a d our community and its been fun learning how to live tiny. What you see as complaining is actually us trying to be helpful in a humorous way. This interview was nearly 3 hours long and it was alot of fun, but the humor wasn't conveyed quite like the day it was shot. We would love to answer any questions about micheladas, living tiny, life, love...you name it. Again thanks for checking out our tiny tour.
I absolutely appreciate your honesty because there's a lot of things that people leave out so thanks 😊 ❤
The title for this is pro's and con's and I would say there are more pro's.
I didn't take it as negative at all - pointing out items someone wishes were different or unusable is not being negative, its being constructive and simply pointing out a negative in design or situation so someone else can benefit vs a negative attitude. I think people have become way too sensitive. Your presentation was wonderful. Thank you for opening up your home to us. LOVE your yellow accents. Your house is gorgeous and you seem like a delightful couple. Wishing you may joyous years in your gorgeous home ❤
@@traceytheisen8067 💯💯💯 you're exactly right about people being sensitive and these are the things that people need to know the things that everyone may not think about.
That’s funny, I was just telling my husband that this woman seems to hate her tiny house. Glad you cleared it up. Thanks
I'm not getting that they don't like their tiny house I'm happy that they're giving us the pros and cons of tiny living which a lot of people don't do so thanks
Glad that's the way you saw it cause that was the intention. Alot of positive things didn't make the edit
@@kchensley1845 I've come to realize that some people are gonna complain no matter what and I hate that you have a explain yourselves
Yes those pros and cons are well worth knowing 🙌🏽🙌🏽.. thanks guys you did a great job and your tiny house is very beautiful🥰🥰
“Being intentional is annoying”. Love Momo’s honesty.
When you are seriously considering a tiny home, videos like this are gold! Being able to hear honest opinions explaining what works and doesn’t are priceless. Love the curtains. Thanks for sharing!

🙋It's a very nice space ty for being honest because it helps in decision making! I hope you both are happy and that your business is thriving! 🙋
I absolutely loved the drape along that one wall. I had never seen anything like that before. Instead of making the space appear smaller, the drape seemed to make it look larger. This was a great video!
I totally agree great review 👍🏿 👏🏽 👌🏿 thank you
"If you're into freezer items...Don't be." I literally almost spat out my coffee!! This is amazing. You are amazing. All the best!
We're scrappy. Most people would go buy ice to use the freezer, but we freeze our own water...despite losing our freezer lol
That cracked me up! 😆
It floored me!
That part got me too , while I was eating breakfast 😂
I definitely BOL! 🤣
I love how this couple is telling it like it is!! These are the realities of living small evidently. It is refreshing to hear it!!
The pro's outweigh the cons, but its far from perfect like some might make it seem.
@@kchensley1845 Again, thank you so very much for truly showing the reality of things when one lives tiny!!
This was hilarious lmfao when she was talking about the closet I was laughing so mf hard. I appreciate sarcasm and dry humor. I also love when tiny home owners are super honest about mistakes or building snafus cause I just add it to my notes thank you KC and Momo
I actually saw the humor and honesty in your video especially when the wife said If you like showering with your partner you should kill that dream once you enter into a tiny house! 😂😂😂 Absolutely love your outdoor space! ❤
“Being intentional in annoying”!!! LOL!!! That was so funny!!!!! You have a beautiful home!!! I can’t wait to get my tiny!!! God Bless! 💕🏡😊
You'll love it and you'll find things like us that are minor, but yandeal.
We're in a 31' Class C with our daughter and being intentional IS annoying. Worth it, but challenging. It's a constant movement of what you live without and what you keep, rotating things, making changes and tweaks, etc... I GET IT! It's nice to just have all the things
Love this couple. Love their sense of humor. And they seem very down earth. Keep it up guys!
Thank you for the kind comment. We're glad some of our personalities shined through the edit which unfortunately just sounded like a bitch fesr
@@H2OFly we just got engaged 💍 lol 😆 get out of here. We love the shit out of eachother and we love our tiny home. Go project somewhere else and understand this is just an edited tour...mostly cons made the final cut
@@kchensley1845 Congratulations on your engagement! Loved seeing you two snuggled up on the couch in your beautiful home. It always makes me happy to see people find their soulmates. Not everyone is so fortunate. Wishing you both all the best for your future, and your business...💛
Congratulations beautiful enjoy your tiny home guys .
@@kchensley1845 oh my goodness, so glad I kept reading the comments. Congrats on your engagement
Ok, at first I was thrown off and thought Momo didn't like the tiny home but I'm glad I kept watching! You both are hilarious lol and I'm with Momo regarding the closet! I also loveeee the outdoor space. Very beautiful home 🙌🏿🌻🌿💞
“If you’re into to freezer items,… uhh, don’t be” 😂😂😂 they kept it 💯 in this tour! I don’t think I’ve ever laughed more watching any other tiny house tour…
Haha glad ya got the humor
I 100% love the sarcasm. I dont think I'll ever go tiny but I've watched hundreds of hours of tiny home tours and THIS is definitely the most real one!
She reminds me of my Virgo daughter. She's hilarious. 😂
I never comment on these tiny home video tours but this one was brilliant and I love this couple! Momo had me in tears with the closet and KC with the loft mattress.
For your closet issue, move the outlet to the floor and have them tear the wall out. My house is NOT tiny, however it’s got ZERO storage space. My closet is the same except it’s on an angle so I have to literally crawl into it. It makes me irrationally angry!
I love your tiny house! You’ve done a great job with it!
Thank you. We have a short list of things we want to fix, but it takes time and money so those issues aren't a big enough fire to deal with right now. Gotta sell more mix
I love this couple and their tiny house is beautiful and very inviting. Yellow decor always does the trick! 🙂Thanks for sharing.
Yellow velvet for the win! Mustard is the best
Yes I did yellow and gray for living room 💛 is everything 💛
Brenda Lenoir my kitchen is golden yellow, gray & black. 💛🖤
i like how real real this couple was as they gave us a tour.
I LOVE the candor in this video!
So often, as is common on social media, we are only exposed to the "joys" of tiny living. But let's be real, it's an adjustment. I'm glad, for instance to know about furniture issues and lack of depth in the kitchen cabinets.
I love that she was so honest about the tiny home, but the home is still lovely.
Love the yellow, so pretty, and that outdoor seating space - I’d be out there all the time!
I love her frankness, and her general demeanor!!
Love it. You two are very honest about small living and I truly appreciate it. Momo has lots of good points to share. Thanks!
You guys are Hilarious! Buying things multiple times! The green light from the smoke alarm in your face while sleeping! The curtain you’ll be installing so you’re not “staring directly at your neighbor in his kitchen.” You guys are enjoying yourselves and your decision. And it shows! Your input is super-invaluable!
We appreciate you seeing and saying that. We are. We're always dreaming about ways to make the space better, but we're perfectly happy with it now and the process.
This might be my favourite tiny tour so far! This couple is honest, funny, engaging and creative. They managed to create a home that works well for them and their business. All the tips and sidenotes were incredibly informative and helpful. We need more people like them!
We appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed our home
Love that they are living tiny. I think the sofa is brilliant as well as the cover for the cat litter box. The builder however is the worst. I’ve never seen such bad elements in a tiny home. The closet, the tiny kitchen cabinets. They were obviously cutting corners.
I wish there were more tiny home communities in Canada. It’s extremely limited and heavily regulated. There are some old mobile home parks and some seasonal communities where people can’t live more than 10 months at a time. This community looks really lovely.
We bought it pre-made and possibly would have noticed these items ahead of time, but its odd that they do it professionally and made it this way...weird
Best episode I've seen. Love this couple and their sense of humor! Enjoyed your tour.
Thank you so much. What a great compliment. I wish we could post the long version.
Have been trying to convince my husband for years on a tiny house. Your home appears roomier than a lot of tiny homes I have seen, its gorgeous. Lol you 2 picking at each other on height
Haha 5'11" and 3/4!!!
I LOVE how industrious, successful, and ambitious this couple is!
At first I thought that she was complaining but after paying close attention...she was just being super helpful by making us think on the decision we need to pay attention to, if we are thinking into going tiny. Apparently not everyone got her somewhat sarcastic sense of humor.
Both of them explained what can happen when decorating and furnishing a tiny home. Good luck to both of them, in their personal lives and their business endeavors.
I do liked the design of their tiny home that includes great outside living spaces. I'm too old to use a loft, so the downstairs bedroom next to the bathroom seems perfect to me.
Thanks for the tour and great video 🎉.
Thank you for seeing it as it was intended. We aren't the type of people to blindly tell you what you want to hear. We want it straight from others and hope others can find value in us doing the same. We think our love for eachother and the tiny home and community was lacking in this action packed video, but it is what it is. Thanks again.
@@kchensley1845 message sent to your business page re; Michelada (para ponerla en cerveza bien fría ...mmmm que rico!!)
@@ernestinasanchez5305 will respond tomorrow. Thank you. We will get you taken care of.
Lol he couldn't wait to say the slogan for the Momo !!! I love that they told us everything about every part of their beautiful home !! One thing that's really big for me , is the yard space because I love the outdoors. Being able to grill and entertain in my yard is key for me so that space is awesome !!!
The tour was actually like 3 hours so unfortunately you can't see everything but I am happy to answer questions you have.
Beautiful tiny home I absolutely love the place especially the colors
@@kchensley1845 It's perfect in every way !!! But I love the yard a lot !
Love the stunning curtains and the kitchen island hack! I love that y’all presented the pros and “cons” of tiny house living. Congratulations and Best Wishes for your business!!
This is a great sized tiny, love the downstairs bedroom. It's nice to hear the pros and cons of going tiny and things to look out for. Thanks for sharing 😊
How many sq ft is this?
I did notice that in other park models, the kitchen cabinets looked really spacious. Not tiny like in this one.
I Loved your home. but i love you guys even more, great couple and Momo is adorable. good luck to both of you in the future.
So freaking kind of you to say. I love her too.
I think this is my favorite tiny so far! Love the full size fridge and stove, awesome couch, and the washer and dryer. The portable large island is fabulous. A ground floor bedroom is a real plus.
Compared to inner city apartments I've been at around the world this is a regular size home. A gorgeous one.
Thank you. It's 399sq Ft, but its deceiving
I didn't take it as complaining. I took it as the reality of disciplining purchases and mindset change. It gives a realistic view of minimalism so to speak. This video gives a realistic look at what could be expected to give a better perspective on if this lifestyle is compatible or not to a person choice of living.
Thank you for sharing the pros and cons. I especially appreciate the closet info, I need to make sure my closet will have access from both sides. Love your home!
The Island on wheels is very innovative and a good way to change the room to suit whatever needs you have at the time.
I live in a normal size house but the kitchen is tiny, I want one of those islands on wheels!
@Queenie Maja I think you can get an island like theirs at Kmart or Ikea. I want one but haven't got it yet, there's too much junk in my kitchen! But I definitely want to get one because I love to bake and need more prep space.
As a single person who only eats fresh foods and has a total of 7 outfits, I want a tiny home now more than ever.
Heck yes! Do it.
Wow! That closet door covering the cable and electrical outlets made me take an audible gasp. This video is really eye opening. Something as simple as not putting the smoke alarm over where a bed would go is really good info/feedback. Thank you for sharing. 💯🙏🏽
Funniest tiny home tour I’ve ever seen! Really great insights- I appreciate that you guys shared so much of the things you’ve learned, unlearned, relearned, etc etc. in the process of going tiny. I absolutely LOVE the layout of this one.
I opted to skip the stove and go with just an induction cooktop, an instapot, a convection microwave and hot air fryer. The instapot stores below. I also decided on a vented combo W/D so I could have a pantry above it, and found a small 3.5 cu.ft. chest freezer for the bottom of my hanging clothes closet. It works well. My dining table is 2 steps away from my kitchen, so I sometimes use it for additional prep space. Thanks for being straightforward about the differences with Tiny living. I tell people it's like living in a NYC flat, but bigger. 🤣👍
The kitchen island is a genius idea. Yellow is my favorite color. Loved it all.
Thank you. The island kicks ass amd so does mustard velvet
Business partners and living in a tiny house, kudos to them for success in their relationship.
Just got engaged too. If you can run a business with someone out of a tiny home...they're a keeper
@@kchensley1845 Congratulations!!
Nice place, bigger than our camper home. You are wrong, you don't have to hold it in the morning, put a hospital urinal in a convenient place, let her go, and grab your container, then dump and rinse it later. Being old, and having to go during the night, and a bit handicapped, that is the way I get by. Life got much more convenient when a doctor suggested that.
Love how you tell it all! I'm the same way. I never sugar coat anything, and I feel like I'm coming across as complaining... But I just want people to count the cost. I absolutely love how you give the pros and cons. We always think it will be all perfect and forget to think about the inconveniences (and why people choose giant houses in the first place) lol. Love it. Y'all are precious.
Thank you so much! Same team
The natural colour of the outside and the yellow accent with the white and stainless steel brightens my eyes.
I have seen so many tiny homes & very few do I like the decorating. Add to that the fact I generally find yellow to be a color I would use very little of. But. I absolutely love this living room.
This tour was a hoot! Lots of humor. Great discussion of what not to have in your Tiny House. Multitude of cautions about tiny house living & furnishings. . Like the portable kitchen island for more prep space and storage. Living room much larger than most tiny homes. A loft in which I cannot stand up would not be for me. Agreed that open barn door for just 1/2 of the closet and the random outlet indicates builder’s poor planning. Stacking w/d is a necessity. Thanks for this entertaining tour. Which Austin tiny home community is this?
Village Farm Tiny Home Community. I'm glad you took the tour for what it was. It wasn't us bitching about our home. We love it. We just learned some things worth sharing. Also the positive stuff didn't really convey after editing.
@@kchensley1845 That is precisely what I thought.
@@kchensley1845 I would check with the manufacturer. The closet half blocked by a wall could mean the wall is a load bearing wall. Or maybe it's to add strength and stability for transport.
The wall in front of half the closet might mean it's a load bearing wall. Also, the outlet might be handy for plugging a vacuum cleaner in. In that instance, it's temporary, so the closet door blocking the outlet when open isn't an issue.
What a cute couple! Love your tiny house and your humor! Best of luck to you both!
I appreciate your honesty. It's not all rainbows and unicorns, but you're making it work!
Exactly
Pros and cons to everything in life. You live how you can afford to live and be grateful for what you DO have.
Honestly, this is one of the biggest "tiny homes" I've seen!!
We make it work for us. We love it amd are always thinking of new ways to improve the space and ourselves
Love how Down to earth they are!! Really enjoyed this! Very honest, and funny!!!
I love your decor and giving real tips in living in a tiny house!
This was very truthful and quite funny at times! Thanks for sharing your home and business😁
They are so funny and honest as hell. There home is beautiful and pretty spacious. The outside space is beautiful 😍
That closet is so fricken funny! Builder fail. Otherwise, I really appreciate all of your honesty Momo. I appreciate that you didn't give all the positives but included ALL the real life truths. Thank you so much. I will be looking for your Michelada mix at our local Total Wine. I'm in AZ so it may be some time but I'll keep looking. My hubs and I like to support small business. I wish you both all the success your hearts desire.
Funny you say that. Total Wine I'm Austin is going to carry us. If we do well, it might not be as long as you might think. In the meantime please consider ordering on Amazon and please leave a review. We would wanna split profits with Bezos, but if we get enough positive reviews then we will be set for life.
AWESOME!! I LIVE AND LOVE TINY HOME LIVING!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! I HAVE MORE WORK TO DO. . LOL . . . I STARTED BRINGING IN HOUSE PLANTS !!! WHAT A WONDERFUL DIFFERENCE PLANTS DO. . . THANK YOU FOR ENCOURAGING ME 😊BLESSINGS ON YOUR JOURNEY!!🌹🌹🌹💞💞💞💞
I love this couple!! Their honesty is so refreshing!
The yellow and white decorations is very beautiful ❤️. The tiny home it self is beautiful ❤️. A deep freezer the size of the island would be nice. That way the kitchen island can stay in the middle of the kitchen floor and the deep freezer can go up against the wall next to the washer and dryer. That way it will allow lots of counter space and space for my frozen food and space to wash and dry and fold. Just a suggestion, you do have it looking great as it is now.
Kc, I always say I’m 5’6 and 3/4, too, so I’m with you!! This was hilarious-and I, too, haven’t laughed this much at any of these tiny house tours. Keep being honest!! (And funny. A sense of humor is also a clear sign of intelligence!!) Good luck to you both! 😊
Thank you for acknowledging how brilliant I am! 😜 you should talk to Momo about that
Thank you for showing us your beautiful tiny home. I enjoy minivan camping and tiny home living is a logical next step! I loved your honesty and sense of humor. It seems you two have intentionally created a beautiful life for yourselves. Enjoy! 🌞👍🚙🏞🇺🇸✌🏻
100% you'll love it. Thanks for watching.
Let's get the whole story before jumping to judgement.
They love their tiny.
They were just trying to inform others.
They brought the home the way it was, no input from them.
They was just trying to be helpful, while using humor.
I love the El Camino, it's a classic car. I always wanted one. Along with a 66 Mustang, 67 Shelby GTO- the last Ford/Shelby, and 68 Impala.
I like your tiny, the fact it has a downstairs bedroom makes it all better.
Thanks for pointing out the cons. Some might get to excited about getting a new home, and overlook some things.
We're just the type of people that know we can figure out whatever we need to in order to make it work for us.
We're glad you got all this and found value.
The El Camino is a 75 and funny story is I was conceived in the back haha
@@kchensley1845
🤣🤣🤣
It's a beautiful home and a nice parking spot.
I love everything about this tiny home tour! This couple are so much fun to listen to- I wish they were my neighbors! Lots of great points to the downsides of tiny home living, so thank you for your candor.
Thank you! We would love to have you as our neighbor.
I think you guys are great. I love how honest and real you are with the realities of living tiny. And I really love the look of your home, all the large windows, the outdoor spaces. Great place!!
Really enjoyed this video. I've watched a ton of tiny house videos and really appreciate the real life feedback that y'all gave. Didn't see it as complaining at all! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
I love your humor and your home. You make tiny look roomy. What size is your home? Sofa works for me! Bed-in-a-box works, 12' w/o a base. Thank you for being real!
Thanks for watching. Our home is 399 Sq ft and thanks for sharing positivity and kindness
i said why a tiny home ? then the explanation and reasoning for the tiny home that you gave , BRILLIANT . I love the the thought process behind it. You're living a dream.
Making investments for a comfortable future. Till then we are working our tails off.
Love💛💛the beautiful yellow full length curtains. So open and cheerful! You guys did a great job with design and making everything organized and everything has its place!!! I need this! Wish you could help me...your amazing 👏
We can give advice where to get stuff. Basically Amazon ikea and roomtogo
Felt like all she did was complain the entire first half 😂 I figured it was hubbys idea from the beginning. She is making it work. That’s what marriage is all about. Compromise. 👍🏾
We always figure everything out. Like renting our home when we lost our income during the pandemic and living at her parents...ya make due. The ti y house we both love amd it isn't perfect. If it was perfect it would be boring.
It’s so nice to hear actually pros and cons. Not just praise for the whole tiny home living. It’s refreshing. They aren’t saying anything bad. Just saying what they feel. Love it.
Love how she love her home but was honest
YOU BOTH are hilarious!! Love it. I love how clean and organized your tiny home is. very commendable.
This was the most truthful, funniest review of their tiny home which is beautiful. I love when folks can polk fun at themselves while being honest. I've never had a michelada but I now wanna try some.Thanks Momo and KC for sharing your tiny home with us.
Oh it looks so cozy in there...Most Tiny homes look too tiny, but its so spacious.. with bright lighting...Just beautiful!
See All that Vertical wall space you have there next to the end of kitchen counter next to the end of the sofa ..build put in Shelves maybe even narrow cupboards ! You can store things there too !
I'm building my own tiny home because I'm blessed to have adult children living across the country who own their homes, and I'm able to tie into their water supply lines to my tiny home. This will save me thousands of dollars, and since I visit them all to support their personal developments, this also gives me my own personal space when I come to visit. Additionally, I have been looking at some of the prefab double-story tiny homes available for purchase at Home Depot for as little as $13,000 shells.
That tiny house is bigger and better than most city apartments that coast $2K+ a month smh it's sad and a good thing all at once. I dream of this life with my future hubby!! 🏡💗
This is so real 😂, I love her expressions
I love your home ab your honesty. That living room is my favorite spot and I like that the spaces are small but practical for daily living. However, that loft was spacious enough, but that ceiling and was too low. The only negative. Love that deck, but I would need privacy too.
Great place! 👍🏾
You have a gorgeous home. You have more counter space than I do. I get the issue about the closet door. That’s a bummer. Your deck is not only exquisite it’s also highly practical. Cheer up!!! ❤️❤️
Love KC and Momo n their poshy tiny 🏠 house! I love that they do business together. I would prefer them sleeping downstairs instead of the loft bed.
Why is that? Lol 😆
Truly you deserve to sleep downstairs and have more space...the loft bed is kind of not spacious enough n has no open windows or open roof. Think about it first
@@chabridgettumusiime8994 we have a window up there and it overlooks our living room with a ton of open windows. We like it up there and it's a king size bed whereas we can only fir a Full in the downstairs. I like the loft because it feels like sleeping in a fort or a tree house and when there is a nice storm, the sound of the rain on the roof is fantastic.
Momo had me ctfu at that Closet! 😂 The builders tried it! But this is such a lovely home and beautiful couple! Thanks for the tour
I love your honesty and your home! Continue to keeping it real!!!
How about taking out all of the kitchen cabinets that are essentially useless (and can hear the frustration in the homeowners voice) and replace them with cabinets that are much higher because there is plenty of elevation on the wall. Just sayin'. It does seem she is generally very unhappy living small but maybe that's just the way the video comes off.
Great idea. Can you imagine how much they are paying for that tiny home that basically wasn’t designed right to be a functional tiny home
There are also homes that can be built a bit larger . It is not impossible ..
Thought I don't think I've ever seen so much complaining (?) just me
I wish them well 🙏🏾
@@clarkclarke agreed I was like I don’t think she really likes it
Wow. Wonder if she ever thought about being thankful? Wow.
Hey guys, Kc here one of the owners. I dont know if Momo has a CZcams account so let me just say she loves the tiny home. Her "complaints" to you are just warnings for her. Living in a Tiny Home is a learning curve and she was trying to be helpful. Also this was only 30 minutes of what was nearly 3 hours of touring the space and talking. If you have any questions about life, love, business or living tiny let me know.
Personally, I love your honesty! You guys are adorable. Great video. Love your tiny home.
Great video! Thank you for listing the cons or things to consider in tiny home living. Love the storage bed and couch. Thinking of getting a couch like that for my condo. One thing though - you should blur out your license plates for your own privacy and protection.
This tour was hilarious. What’s with the half closet door and the smoke detector above the bed?!
I think the video could have begun with a bit of context about their location set up and their job since they kept mentioning it throughout but we get it at the end so why not.
Anyway, I really appreciate seeing an honest feedback on living tiny, thanks Momo and KC! You’re fun!
Thanks Eva! We could have done at least 2 hours worth of talking and entertaining which the initial tour was 3 hours so it gets chopped into this little snack, but I am glad you enjoyed it. 😉 5'11" 3/4!!!
Awesome thank you for sharing your beautiful home and your business!!
I really appreciate all of the knowledge being shared with us. Thank you so much. Not a lot of tiny home owners share pros and cons. I love the vibe you two give off. I laughed a lot during this video.
That's the best comment ever. Thank you. If people wanna think we're just complaining then that's what they're listening for. It was supposed to be funny and helpful.
Thanks for telling the truth both good and not so much. Lol. Most ppl act like tiny living is perfect. Imagine how many ppl experienced utter shock bc there is a downside as with mostly everything but they didn't know until they moved into their tiny home.
Exactly. You live and you learn. We learned alot and made adjustments. We're good with it though amd all the effort makes us appreciate it that much more
I love the look of the high ceilings but it leaves me scratching my head every time. There’s so much living and/or storage opportunity that’s lost in all that height.
It's weird. Kinda a less is more thing. There is space that could be filled, but should it? For example you see how short the loft ceiling is, the downstairs bedroom bathroom and room ceilings are only like 6'2" so that would be throughout the entire house and feel cramped.
Thanks for candid honesty. Beautiful home. Definitely an adjustment for anyone...going tiny if used to more space. Beautiful couple. Love the love. People just looking to be messy annoying. Ignore them.
Thank you! Love the love indeed and believe it or not we love our tiny also.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes! Love your tall windows, yellow curtains and pillows. (BTW, even though a gas stove is wonderful, the induction stove is healthier for you. When you're ready to replace your refrigerator/freezer, I would recommend a freezer on the bottom, because it's more practical having the refrigerator on top and more energy efficient overall.)
Thank you for the advice.
I love her honesty and candor about the living experience. Very refreshing.
Still huge compared to a lot of uk new builds!!
Yeah, a lot of people in the states don't realize that normal for them is only also normal in 4 other countries in the world... Everyone else would pretty much consider this normal to huge... Also, this normal has only been around for a little over half a century. Prior to the 1950's the US was more like the UK for average house size...
I agree on the one bathroom thing. We have a smallish ranch house with ONE freaking bathroom and we fight over who gets the toilet. I always look at these lofts with king sized beds and wonder "how the hell do they change the sheets?" I enjoy watching alternative things and tiny house videos, even though I personally could never do this. Just my hats and shoes would fill a tiny home. My clothing would fill another. Our kitchen is small and old, with cabinets that are one year younger than me, and I'm 58. Even rooms we've redone already need to be redone. Like our tv room, we need to remove the "bar" and the pellet stove. After we put these things in, I quit drinking, our social circle shrank due to people dying or moving away, and we have a leather couch now so we cannot blow the pellet stove heat directly on that expensive purchase. It's very tight everywhere in this house and not enough storage, and certainly no "smart" storage, like in the couch or under a mattress. We have box spring under our mattress. We live in an area where all the housing stock is super old, built in and for another era. Not enough electrical outlets. Around here it actually is MORE expensive to build a one level home (my dream) than it is to build a two story home. Most of the homes in this county are not meant for aging into. One level living, that is my dream. My house would have 2.5 baths, a GYM for my treadmill, universal bar, kettlebells, weight bench and so forth, it would have a garage, a den, an open floor plan for the kitchen and living room, I would NOT have a dining room, and there would be two bedrooms, a huge walk-in closet for the aforementioned hats, shoes and clothing, radiant heat, central air, and a GENERATOR. Seriously I want to build a house for climate change as well as any other coming apocalypse. 95% of the homes in my county don't even have a window AC unit or a freaking ceiling fan. In the listings under Cooling: NO DATA. Give me a break. We need to build homes for the uncertain future. Really, I would love to build underground. Can't imagine what that would cost.
Oh and another thing I have a TON of: skincare products, makeup and Sunscreen. Listen I buy this stuff from FRANCE and when I buy it I STOCK up. I have about 30 sterilite flip top boxes on a rack to my left as I write this. One is full of Toleriane Dermallergo Cream, my body and face wash from France fill other bins, and a few bins have a bunch of Korean sunscreens. Facemasks, you bet I bought five million of those, because remember before you couldn't even find them? Yes, I have silk, some from All Birds, a bunch of N95s, but now I just wear the basic black KN-94 masks that I buy in bulk on Amazon. I have at least 40 bottles of my HG SPF which I buy direct from France and believe me it will be long gone before it expires. Another thing I notice when I look at Zillow... No one has bathroom storage. When I was growing up, both bathrooms had built in cabinets and closets. Our one bathroom has a large shallow closet, which could never accommodate folded towels or extra sheets, but it now holds a bunch of turntables: Bug stuff, Hair stuff, Face Stuff, Makeup stuff, Makeup brush cleaning stuff... I could go on and on. My one level home will have more storage space than actual living space.
@@SusanSlattery In order to dress the bed, it is done on our knees, but that is the only difference. Its always fun to imagine living in someone elses shoes.
Rubbermaid and other companies have little lazy-susan type things to make things in the back of cabinets rotate and easier to reach.
Love, love, love the covered porch with privacy wall.
Can't you trade out the barn style closet door and open the wall a little to install a slide from both sides closet door?
Absolutely but it will cost time and money which we're low on both. We also gotta rewire those stupid plugs behind the door.
Thank you! All the best !!
I appreciate the honesty. Thanks!
