VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Meet Allyson. She's a driven woman determined to make her retirement the best it could be for her and her dog Tucker. She took it into her own hands and built this adorable tiny home from the ground up, only using assistance when needed. She chose a smaller bathroom and a quaint sleeping loft to ensure maximum living space in the central area.
In the main portion, she has a couch directly across from a large bookshelf holding over 150 books she intends to read through during retirement. Her favorite pieces of furniture are a funky red leather chair that converts into several different positions, and a dining table made up of recycled broken glass bottles. The french doors lead out to a cozy sitting area next to her fresh garden, where she hosts many nights of eating, drinking, and thoroughly enjoys her new chapter in life.

Maybe you. I have a lot of shit around my old farm house. I have kids, animals, hobbies. I need room for my herbals, canning jars, board games, books, knitting, computers, off-season clothes, tools for husband to fix things. Self-sufficiency never looks tidy or small to me. I got shit everywhere, but its clean, organized and we're never bored or needing help. I see tiny homes and imagine someone on the computer. If it forces you outside, what are you doing? Gathering harvest, herbs, chopping wood, etc all requires "stuff" and space.

@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340 2 роки тому
A retirement community of like minded people would be great. Have huge piece of property with a nice sized shed in the middle for community classes. Everyone having .10 or .20 of an acres to garden etc if they wanted too and space, so you don't feel like someones on top of you. It would also provide security so if you needed help. There is a guy in Texas that has something like it, but people only stay there short term to try it out.

Another advantage ... I have a motorhome and was able to park it at a medical facility when a friend was undergoing treatment. I was able to be there and visit him when appropriate and he was able to be in the motorhome between treatments. At any rate, whether parking an rv or tiny on wheels at or near a medical facility ... or in my case, I want to continue living rurally as long as I am able (I am 66), but if I eventually need to be closer to people/medical, moving a tiny on wheels means staying "home" as long as possible.

This lovely lady is living my dream! SO comfy and cozy looking and what a great location. Tucker is adorable and the perfect kind of roommate in my eyes, haha. Maybe she'll see this...if she's using the standard high heat paint for appliances and having issues and needing to re-do it, give engine paint a try instead. It has a higher burn point, comes in glossy and you can find it online and you should be able to also find it at your local auto parts place. That couch is the first built-in I've seen that looks substantial enough to be comfy. I love it! So much to love in this house. Kudos to her and I aspire to have the confidence and just do it attitude that she has in order to achieve my own dream of having a TH someday.

A home perfect for an inspiring lady. Love your attitude. One suggestion: Look for the oval tin tubs. Fill with water and set in a sunny location to slowly heat all day. It will then be ready for a nice outdoor bath for Tucker in the summertime .Purchase a 2-1/2 gallon new bucket at your local building center. Dip out a bucket full to use as rinse water for Tucker. Tub will b easily emptied into the gravel. I hope you and Tucker will have many years together in your retirement. I admire you so much. You are my hero!

I’m 61 and seven years from retirement. I am in a similar situation when it comes to affording retirement, and so you are singing my song! I have so much to get rid of, and so much to learn. Every state in the USA has different rules about tiny house living. How did you find your landlord? Has anything ever frozen in the winter? How many feet long is your tiny? Where did you keep your tiny while you were building it? How long did it take you to build it? So many questions! What you made is lovely.

I had to retire at 62, but with the changes I made, living on less than a $1k was doable. Not great, but I managed. This year I got a bump in Social security because my ex finally was eligable (he was younger than me). Now I really do feel very blessed, and quite confidant I can live on less if I ever needed to again.

This is one of the most if not the most charmingly appointed "tiny house" that I have seen on UKposts. There is a sense of "home" as well as being "artful." I have to the conclusion that these tiny homes are only endurable because they are usually located in the "great outdoors."

The sliding pocket door is awesome...I may have to try this out. Love how it takes less space than regular doors. Since my husband passed 10 years ago I've learned that using power tools is not that hard.
@PK-bh1ww 2 роки тому
Pocket doors are a great idea in any home. So Are shelves built into the wall. Great for plants and knick knacks. And in kitchens for a spice cabinet and canned foods. Instead of door front, hand a curtain that matches the window curtain. Hand crafted homes displaying owners own personality have way more charm than cookie cutter made from Menards and home decor stores.

My whole life has been "biting off in manageable pieces." I liken it to climbing Mt. Everest. Once step at a time. You may have to go backwards a few times, but you just keep your eyes on the top of the mountain and put one foot in front of the other. My goal, because I had been self employed with no retirement plan, was to buy a duplex so I would always have that second income. I raised the kids in the large upper part, and when they were gone and had their own families, I moved into the small, one bedroom apartment and rented out the larger upstairs. Going small has really worked for me. I love my space, and being downstairs, I have been able to create a nice outdoor garden and living space that I did not have access to when I lived upstairs (where I had a large deck, but no garden.) I basically live in a library, however, because although I downsized a lot, I just could not bear to give up my books. But no TV and no cell phone saves me at least $200 a month, my portion of the heating oil is half of what the other part of the house used, and no stairs to climb. I am very happy with the outcome. I really love the design on this tiny home; she has done a marvelous job and the décor is very homey. It sounds like she thought this out very well. One step at a time. Love it.

This retired lady endeared me to her daisy 🌼 tiny home. She and little Tucker are encouraging me to go tiny. Loved your cozy home. • You solved problems by doing it yourself. Examples: the bathroom door, hula hoop shower curtain rod, and your steps to the loft. • Love your comfy chair and that bookshelf next to it. It's a perfect place to set out plants 🪴. I like that you gathered nine windows before the build. You think ahead. I like your fenced-in yard nestled under the trees. Good thoughts + good actions = good results. My home is 888 sq ft, and I have too big of a kitchen and rarely use my dining room. However, I have a claw foot bathtub 🛀 with curtains for showers 🚿 that must go into my tiny house... although I have seen a separate bldg. for baths or showers, I liked that idea. • Also, I would like a bedroom downstairs and a loft bedroom for guests. Autumn is my favorite seaso , and green, gold, brown, and red are my colors. 🍁 Thank you 😊 for sharing your tiny home with all the viewers. THANK YOU 🌹 AGAIN.
