Living in a 389 Sq Ft Tiny House - Come Inside 🏡

Hi, I'm Annie. I'm 36, and I live in a tiny house with my four cats and my dog, and I've been living here on my parents' property for the last few years, so I thought today I would give you a little house tour, show you around, show you a little bit of the property, how everything works. So come along. So here's my tiny house, and when I say I live on my parents' property, I mean I'm literally right next door to them. Also, like I said, I have four cats that live with me, and this actually is not one of them. He is a stray. I cannot have another cat, but I do feed him. Will you let me pet you? If I get close to his face, he'll scratch me, but he's been letting me pat the booty. See? Let me pat your little booty. This is my view. So I got my tiny house from Tiny Mountain Houses. They are located in Oregon, but they ship anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, I believe. But let's come on in. So you walk in straight into the kitchen, and one thing I really appreciate about my kitchen is everything is full-size appliances. So we have a full fridge, we have a gas stove, an oven, we have a microwave, a huge sink. These are quartz countertops, and the tile backsplash is black and chrome. Check her out. I will say I did get this house new, however I did not have it custom built. When I went in to ask about their tiny houses, they had this one available. Someone ordered it, but then canceled it. So it was almost all the way built out, and they just had a little more work to do on it. And I was like, I want a tiny house now. I was like so prepared. I had the down payment, so I like made it official that day. I went in and got it about a month later. That being said, if I would have had it custom built myself, I would have gone with a different countertop and backsplash. But I still like it. What do you think? Another thing to point out in the kitchen is how much space we have with the cupboards and storage in here. That is definitely a highlight. On the other side of the kitchen, we have this little table. Let me show you. I haven't done this in a long time because I never put it down. So hopefully I remember how to do this. How does this work? Maybe I won't try. I don't want to mess it up. But this folds down, but I just leave it up all the time. Okay, over here, this staircase was a big selling point for me just because I thought it was so cute and unique to have like a mini spiral staircase in a tiny house. Here we have my living room. Hello, this is Charlie. He's a poodle. He was a rescue. Everyone always thinks he's a doodle. Nope, he's just a teddy bear looking poodle. But because of all my animals, I try to keep my couch protected, so that's why it has all of this stuff all over it. Speaking of animals, this is where I keep their litter box. It is an automatic litter robot situation. That's my artwork. This is paint by numbers. I did it myself. That is also my artwork that is paint by numbers that I did myself. Also, I'm really creeped out. I never opened this window. I don't know how I got in there, but there's a big spider in the window. But that is my view from outside my window, which is kind of nice. Over here, we have my piano. I took piano lessons from first to tenth grade, so I thought that was nice. I could fit it in here, and I also have... Don't pay attention to all the chords back there. I need to figure out how to make this look more pleasing, but I have a little karaoke machine, and I do solo karaoke by myself. And then over here, I have my little TV. However, I oftentimes just watch movies and things on my laptop, and I also just hung these up. Another nice thing is I actually have a washer and dryer combo situation going on in here. However, I have never used it. I hope it even works. I know it turns on, but I mean, I live next door to my parents, and so I just use theirs. I'm sure I'll need it someday. Oh, another thing to add, the dimensions of this place. So, it is eight feet wide by 28 feet long. Making our way into the bathroom. This was another big settling point for me, having a full-on bathtub and shower. I have a normal toilet that is connected to septic, and here's my little sink. I also have quite a bit of storage in this bathroom. Okay, don't pay attention to this. This is just random messy storage. This in here, I don't even exactly know what it is, but this is what is connected to heat up the water, and it's connected to the propane. And that is my bathroom. So, like I said, this staircase was what caught my eye when I found this builder's work online. I just thought it was unique. So, that was a big selling point. Again, full-size appliances, all of that, bathtub. But another thing I really wanted was to have two lofts, because I wanted a bedroom loft and, like, kind of an office space loft. So, let's go up into my bedroom. So, this is where the magic happens, and I mean getting rest and cuddling with my cats. I have a queen-size bed up here. However, you could totally fit a king. I mean, I might not be able to have the lamps next to my bedside, but it works. And people always ask me, can you stand up in your loft? So, keep in mind the bed raises me about that much, but no, I cannot stand up. My head touches on the highest point when I'm on my knees, but it's still not too much of a hassle to make my bed. I don't find an issue with it at all. This is my bed. Another thing I can show you, this is the only hanging closet space. My cat, Dinah, that's basically her designated bed, and she always sleeps there. So, it's kind of just Dinah's bedroom. Again, living next door to my parents, I just keep my clothes in there for the most part. If I didn't live next to them, obviously, I would pack that with clothes and just get some sort of system in all of my cupboard space, because I do have quite a bit of cupboard space. I'd probably put some drawers or something in there. I would use the space in my bathroom, maybe some of the kitchen closets. I also, oh there's Dinah, but behind my front door, that's a big cupboard section as well. I would make it work. There's the kitties. What are you guys doing? I see Theodore's coming in too. Oh, and I am going to be decorating for fall probably this next week. I will make a video about it, but I had these that my neighbor gave me a long time ago in this vase, and then I found this dead tree, branch, multiple of them in my yard. So, this is my first piece of my fall decor. Again, the next video probably will be decorating for fall. So, if you're into that, subscribe and stick around. And the last space in here is my second loft. Here she is. Originally, the plan for this was to have it be like my office area. Sometimes I'll lounge right there with my computer, but my cats like to sleep in that chair and here. So, it's kind of become my cat's loft. I would love to do something with this space. I just don't have the vision for it. If you had this space, what would you do with it? Because I'm kind of stumped. This is for heating and AC, and it works perfectly. The only thing is, for this to really work properly throughout the house, I have to have the ceiling fan going at all times because the hot or cold air comes out here and the fan helps circulate it and push it down. So, that combo is perfect. Oh, and also a side note, because I said that this loft is basically for my cats, three of the four cats know how to climb the ladder. Oh, I also want to show you. So, I added these decal things to pretty much all of my windows, and when it's sunny, it casts rainbows in here, which is really cool. So, that is the majority of what I have to show you in my house, but there's more to see. Propane. Oh, there's a spider. I'm just freaked out. That is where my propane tank lives, and I have multiple backups, and this lasts me at least a month with showers, with water. I don't cook that much in my tiny house because, again, I go over to my parents and use their stuff. That is where the propane is, and it is apparently being guarded by its own personal spider security. Okay, and then we're gonna go around to the back side, and hopefully we don't run into any more freaking spiders. So, back here, this is where it's connected to the septic, and we also have the water line, and we have to use, especially in colder months, this hose. When it's cold out, like freezing temperatures, we have to plug this in and it's heated so that I can, you know, have warm water and the hose doesn't freeze up, and it's connected right there. For power, this is how my electric's hooked up. So, it has this. It's connected up and over. This is my parents, we call it the shop. It's like a garage, basically, and can you see it's connected right up there. So, that's basically like the kind of power that an RV would be hooked up to. Luckily, my parents already had that, so that was an easy thing when it came to accommodating my tiny house. And he's checking me out, little stray guy. Hi, buddy. I know you want to be loved by me. Oh, yes, and Charlie always wants to be loved by me. You're such a cute boy. Oh, wait, and we also have Oliver. You're my cute guy. Seriously, how are these guys strays? They are beautiful. You're so perfect. Wait, the next thing I want to show you that I think is pretty cool is my garden. This is my first year gardening. I have a full garden tour video. This was really thriving. It's still doing well enough, but the squash plants are not looking very happy. Oh, it's taken so long for these tomatoes to ripen. One thing I do know that I've learned is once they start blushing, you can pick them. Oh, I see another one. We got some bell peppers growing in here, and also the corn is starting to come in. What, Gavin? Also, my nephew lives next door. What do you want, Gav? Your dad's at work. I do think, though, that my cucumber plant is about done. Even though some things are starting to go south a little bit, I feel like I had a good first garden year for a first-time gardener. There. Hi, Gavs. What you doing? I love you. I love you, too, buddy. It's a hard day. It's a hard day? What happened? I don't want you. Oh. I want the neighbors. Well, go find grandma and say, Grandma, can you text the neighbors and see if they want to play? Can you just text me? I don't have my phone on me. You broke my heart. I broke your heart? I'm sorry. He's six years old. Go find grandma. I'm busy, buddy. Showing you my life. Oh, Charlie. Charlie's frolicking. Another one of my favorite spots that I have not been enjoying enough this year is my hammock. I'm walking away. That's okay. Can I come on with you? Careful. I love you. I love you, too, buddy. Are you my best friend? Yeah. Yeah. I saw you in the hammock. You saw me in the hammock? It took so long. Oh, look it. There's Oliver. Hi, Oliver. What are you doing? I'm sorry. He says it's okay, Gab. Are we just relaxing? Yeah. Look at my legs. Wow, that's talent. Oh, I can show you something else. Let me show you something. Look at. Wow. Look. I'm looking. Wow, he can run up the hill. Anyway, another thing that's cool about living on my parents' property is they actually have 19 acres. I'm not going to show you that today, but they have a bunch of trails up there that I like to go walk on. That'll be for another time. But if you're seeing me for the first time, this channel is new. I'm going to be sharing things about my life in my tiny house. Yes, Gavin. I'm looking. It's chaotic sometimes, but if you want to stick around, subscribe, and there's a lot more to come. Right, Charlie? Charlie says yes, there's so much more to come. Thanks for hanging out with us today. That being said, Gavin's coming back. Can you say bye? Bye. Say blow a kiss. Goodbye.
