hey guys jenna here welcome to my channel where i take you on tours of tiny and unique homes in
today's video we're returning to oconee belle tiny house community in north carolina to take a
look at a resident's beautiful tiny home amazingly this home's small footprint packs a lot of punch
with two lofts and a ground floor bedroom plus one and a half baths
out of the hundreds of tiny homes i've personally seen and showcased on this channel i've never seen
a layout quite like this one and let's not forget about their incredible outdoor space
i mean i have a porch on my tiny house but this one is a whole other level

hi i'm anna i'm nick and this is our tiny house tiny johanna
the main driver from wearing into a tiny house would be the freedom there's a lot of
aspects of a house that are very mentally draining and we wanted our house to just
be a space that we loved and not something that was gonna like suck a lot of our energy
we've been married for just over five years and we've had like seven addresses in that time
the idea of actually having one place that's our home to be able to take with us was pretty cool
we were looking for a way out of chattanooga and had happened to pontikone bell tiny home community
and thought it was just a very idyllic place that shouldn't exist and so we were able to get in
relatively quickly which was a really big gift definitely the community aspect of
our neighborhood here at oconee bell is something very special and we're really
lucky to be able to live here and and call this place home our home is 375 square feet
i think all right yeah is it 36 by eight and a half feet what's the math on that jazz
no that's so wrong 24 main so our house is 375 square feet if you include the loss and
uh without the lost space it's like 310 on the main floor our house is built by
mint tiny homes we mostly just found a house that was similar to the one we wanted and then
customized it from there they did a really good job with customizations and working with us and
communicating so it worked out nice we do have a swimming pool in the house actually behind there
all right let's take a look inside
when we walk in it's right into the living room
this couch we love it is a nice deep cedar definitely a full-size house couch but it
was a must for us we spend next to all of our time here so we can stare right up at the tv
watch movies play video games we really enjoy that i think my favorite feature is when we can
just kind of pull out this whole entire couch and make it into a giant square of comfyness
in the house we've definitely had guests stay here too this is the size of a queen
so it works out quite nice made ourselves a nice little gallery wall over here of all of our most
favorite moments the history of us throughout life which i always enjoy looking at from the couch
in here we've got a tiny itty bitty little space that is freakishly intentionally thought out we're
able to have our second bathroom some storage up here of just again kind of some random things
laundry storage office storage as well as our laundry so next desk is actually directly on top
of our washing machine which is a pretty funny thing but definitely works he's got some chairs
over here that we're able to just pull down he's able to just sit here and kind of slide the desk
out a bit whenever he's not working we can just kind of shove that back in and have it function as
almost like a place where we can fold laundry in up here we've got kind of the mirror of the same
square footage but we've got a piano up there which i love nick and i both play piano and
really enjoy that it's a nice little functional space with our little window and then now we're
in the kitchen we chose the galley style because we need a million percent counter space we're big
big cooking folks everything's very intentionally thought out and we're so glad to have it
in the house we definitely went through and wanted to have all the storage under the counters
we didn't necessarily want to have to see our dishes and our cups and all of those things so we
got creative with drawers we have so many drawers which is so nice not to be able to have to see
it a nice dedicated spot for trash and recycling which is so necessary lucky for us we worked with
our builder and got a big old pantry i don't know if we'd be able to live in this house without this
space something kind of fun that we have that you would never ever see in a tiny house is a
large dishwasher we thought it was a must it's huge it keeps everything out of the sink which
we love and is amazing 10 out of 10 would recommend maybe if i could close it
so we can go on and move into the main bathroom the bathroom's a real important space for us we do
all of our clothes changing in here as you can imagine in a tiny house with a lot of windows we
need a close-up space to change so this worked out real well we are super
lucky and we live in a place where we can have a flush toilet so we got our second toilet over
here as a flush toilet which is 100 necessary we also were able to splurge and we got a nice
big barn door rolling shower door which we love and it's nice subway tile in there
it's the biggest shower we've ever had and it's amazing and then with storage too we were able to
get a lot of things up in our stairs that go upstairs to some loft space so we've got a few
little spots in here we're able to store bathroom things toiletries
medicine random stuff so we can go upstairs and see the couple lofts
so we've got a good amount of loft space which is a blessing for now it works out really nicely as a
guest loft or more often as a reading nook just a little space to kind of escape we've got all sorts
of little bits of storage again up here just some little bins and things behind the bed is a whole
double thing of book storage we did not skimp on getting rid of a lot of books and then we got
the nice little twin bed up here so it worked out quite nice and we've got the skylight up here so
once clear you can kind of see the stars and it's beautiful and we're real lucky so
yeah that's this loft and then we can go on over here and see the dog's room
in the future we could definitely fit anywhere from a twin to a queen bed for now when the dogs
are sleepy and they need to be up here it's nice to have that space to create them and then we also
were able to fit my childhood craft cabinet which was such a funny feat in a tiny house
to get this giant cabinet up here but worked and so that's a little bit of extra storage too
we are big sleeper people and need the largest comfiest bed possible so we brought
our traditional house giant king bed with us uh which is amazing and everyone said it
wouldn't fit and it does so we're so excited about that and then another big thing about
this space the way we always envisioned it was to have kind of double doors opening
out onto a deck so we've kind of got those over here and then a big picture window on the side
over here in the corner we've got some extra storage so we're able to do some
of our hanging clothes we did not do a big downsize on the clothes
the exterior is boredom batten and it's just stained two or three passes of just a dark
stain over top of it it's held up super well we just recently got finished with some projects
done the skirting underneath the house anna has picked out most of the plants
outside we'll grow peppers and herbs and stuff over here usually in the summer
i built this deck and recently put the roof on it we actually had the deck in the last location we
were living in the house and i built it so it's not too hard to take apart it maybe takes like
half a day or something like that the deck is definitely our favorite room of the house
as you can probably tell it's the most open area we have of our house this is definitely a huge
quality of life improvement for us i'm a rock climber so i've built some stuff to climb on
anna redid this tub and turned it into a couch had to strip it down and paint it and everything
and we love the deck we hang out here all the time the dogs pretty much live out here
you can tell they pretty much own the place just got some plants to cover up the end here i might
put something else on the outside of there for skirting or something these are our propane tanks
we got two 30 pound tanks they last us maybe two three months something like that and that's our
air conditioner for our mini split and then around back here we just recently got done building the
shed but we've got a bunch of stuff stored under the house so i can show you a couple things here
i might come up with a better option at some point but this is kind of the simple thing for now
just lift it on and off these screws these are my tool chests you just slide them slide them in
and out of there they're in waterproof containers so they don't rust and get rained on or anything
here's our shed which we just recently built because we bought a couple bikes
because we pretty much live in like one of the mountain biking meccas tons of
world-class mountain biking around here within like 10 to 30 minutes got our bikes in here
i would say our plans for the future are to enjoy the tiny house and continue to grow with
it we're paying the house off in the next couple years and so we'll be able to just be jeffrey
it's a really cool experience i'm glad we decided to do and i love our house
our neighborhood is so drenched in community i feel it would be a shame to ever leave
