  1. This is my favorite tiny house thus far. Designed perfectly for him, very cozy and comfortable I absolutely love the style. Well done.

  2. I decided early on that I was going to move into my house as soon as I deemed it ‘livable’. Finishing the inside myself (with no prior experience) has been interesting. But, like you, I pick my battles on what I want/need to spend money on. It’s a work in progress but its ‘my’ progress and it feels good. You did a really nice job on yours. (might totally steal that pallet ceiling thing) 😉

  3. i love your build mentality and your ability to balance cost, aesthetics, degree of luxury and practicality all at the same time. Love your space!!

  4. It looks awesome. I would think about maybe taking 2 inches out of the dresser under the bed and sink a mattress.

  5. Great video. Our family is building a tiny house and it is definitely not like all the tiny houses you see on YouTube. My husband just asked me exactly how many square feet is a tiny house and I told him there is no specific measurement because there are to many variables. We’re 6 people and a dog our needs are different from other peoples.

  6. This home is beautifully designed and organized. Amazing what’s been done with such a small space.
    I would want more headroom over the bed, as I get claustrophobic, but if you’re happy with it as is, that’s great. Enjoy in good health 👍🏻😘🇨🇦

  7. Great philosophies for life, work and expense balance !
    Thank you also for sharing your helpful pre and post-build reflections and lessons !
    Have you considered being a tiny home design consultant; especially for first timers ?
