Hi, I'm Tegan. Hi, I'm Johnny. Welcome to this orange house.
Leo, what are you doing?
Johnny, why did you bring him to the the mud?
I told him not to go this way so he decided to walk
up into where the ski went to and walk down the crack inside here and walk down the pond so I was
like well he figured that out he might as well be able to go today. Oh my god well then you're
giving him a bath. He's getting one right now. No. He's loving it though.
Ready? Yeah, you gotta grab him. Welcome to this orange house and our first tour of our tiny house.
As you can see, this is our kitchen walking through.
We have half of the cabinets painted green because we lived in just this room for a year
and a half and we only had this section of cabinets to work with so we'll eventually paint the
the other two but currently we don't have a countertop like a real countertop at the moment.
We have this um paper that Johnny put down and we put in a double burner stove so he can cook
or that more like he can cook. We finally have a kitchen table which we also haven't had
in a year and a half and this was actually where our bed was our king-size murphy bed
when we lived in this part of the house so basically we ate on our bed or on the floor.
My pink hutch they was here to hold all of our plates and cups and stuff like that.
Our oven finally came inside because that was outside for a while.
Right now I'm currently using my breadboard as a countertop here so hopefully maybe next
weekend we'll have counters right Johnny? So that will be super nice and exciting.
If you come over here this is our toilet closet that we have haven't finished.
We started when did we do the wallpaper?
Like eight months ago? Maybe even longer than that. Potentially. There's other pressing matters.
Yeah and we ran out of wallpaper and then it took us a while to rebuy the wallpaper.
It's not the best wallpaper job but there's a first time. That looks pretty good. It does look
good. I don't know why Johnny cut a hole in the wall for some reason to do the wallpaper.
You're not telling about that. I couldn't even see it. You definitely see it. I don't know how
he's gonna fix it but he's gonna fix it somehow. I'm not. And that is this room. This
room has transformed a lot and this is where we lived for a year and a half.
It was pretty tight in here. Right and then this room is what Johnny built as an add-on
because baby number two is due any day now actually kind of pretty much. Yeah. Two weeks
technically. I'm 38 weeks pregnant. We still do not know what the gender is so take your guesses
in the comments. Me and Johnny both still think it's a boy right? Mm-hmm. But now I don't know
we've gotten mixed signals that it might be a girl. So we'll see. We'll see. Put your comments
what you think. Baby number two is. But this is 400 square feet that we added to the 200 square
feet. Um I wanted to have a bunch of windows because this used to be a deck and I really
wanted to keep that 360 view and when the bed's down there is a window behind the bed as well
but I want to keep that 360 view of the land basically and um so we got a lot of windows
and I wanted the vaulted ceiling so it feels extra big in here and when we did this it
now it does feel it feels like a humongous house compared to living in just this room.
We still have a lot to finish. Um right here I wanted to keep the orange house
I wanted to keep the orange house intact so it kind of looks like a house on the inside
but we still have to add the trim all the way around everywhere so it's. Baseboard. The baseboards
yes. Yeah. Um the doors and everything so it's still a work in progress but this is our main
hangout because I guess where else are we gonna hang out? Yeah. Out there. Yeah and then. Fingers.
Um our murphy bed has been amazing because it also gives us a lot more space.
Johnny built this when Leo was like three months old I believe.
So and Leo gets to play on it all the time because it's chalk so and now we're getting
ready for baby number two so we've got the rocking chair in here and bassinet and so
I would like to eventually get my easel back in here somewhere because
I'm an artist and I like to paint and so
um I did hang stuff or Johnny actually hung some of my paintings up on the wall
to make it feel a little bit more homey but now it just makes me want to paint again.
Um hopefully we do that soon. Okay this section is clearly undone but this is where
our closet and our wardrobe is. Um this is a temporary closet at the moment. We still have
our tubs um that's what we kept our clothes in when all of this was outside so we still
have them in here but we have the biggest thing is we have a washer and dryer which
that will be a very nice postpartum um because we didn't we have an outdoor one with this one
so this is a game changer and then this over here is going to be our bathroom or tub shower.
We're gonna have a little vanity right here in a mirror. I want to do tile. I don't know if Johnny
wants to do tile but I want to have tile. But we are we are gonna build a what is it a pony wall or
a what is it called? Just a wall. A pocket door. Just a wall. A half wall. At least a half wall.
A wall and then um have a pocket door here so that this can close and then this door will can go
also to the other side because this used to be an outdoor shower space now it's all indoors so
that is the space and this is the outside of our tiny house. We are in a garden so when we come out
we have these five awesome garden beds that we will want to learn how to garden and grow our
own food. That is the goal. We grew some things last year but we want to amp it up this year.
Come this way. This is the outside. It's not done. We want to do
uh what boarded board and batten. Uh-huh. We've got a lot of love here.
Move that quickly. But we still have some painting. We got to put some gutters up.
Still a work in progress. Fighting. Still needs to go up. Johnny comes out here and um what is that
smokes that grill? Smoker. Yeah that's a smoker. All of these we have um fruit trees. It's winter
right now so no fruit but we get a lot of fruit and we have a greenhouse that hopefully we will
also utilize this year with more food and we'll walk around this way.
Get white. We haven't fully decided yet but I think white would be good. We're gonna keep the
orange orange obviously. Duh. But um the addition will probably be white. Catch all of all of our
I would like to get a picnic table under this tree. In the summer this has a lot of shade so
and it keeps the house really cool too. So love this tree.
A part of also of us going tiny. We were previously in a 1600 square foot house.
We thought we got rid of a lot of things but apparently we didn't when we moved here.
So a lot of our belongings are in this shed that we kind of go in and out of if we need something
um or we've been slowly bringing things over to the tiny house now that we have the new build.
So that's kind of filled. Still gotta get rid of some stuff and then we also have
we probably won't show that but we have more things under this overhang of like Johnny's
big tools and stuff like that because now we don't have a garage. So um yeah that's the the real
real life of going small and if you have a lot of stuff that you didn't get rid of.
So this is our tiny house for now. There's still lots to do. It's a work in progress.
Things don't always have a home just yet. Clutter can pile up quickly. Mistakes were made and things
were left unfinished. But so often we focus so much on the final product that we miss the beauty
of the progress of it all. It's important to look where we are and see how far we've come
because after all it's all about the journey not the destination.
