hey guys jenna here welcome to my channel in 2021 we made 60 video tours of unique
homes which is just crazy if you watched all of those tours thank you so much
i love you but if you didn't don't worry i've made a sparknotes version of my top 10
most popular video tours from last year it's just incredible how many different kinds of homes
that we toured in 2021 some of them were teeny tiny and then some of them weren't tiny at all
but no matter the size each of the homes that we toured last year were one of a kind
we explored unique homes made from natural materials recycled materials and even homes
made with materials that are out of this world we featured handcrafted diy tiny homes
nomadic homes built inside of repurposed vehicles to a home built completely by a robot
we also traveled all over the country to get you these unique home tours from florida to california
to north carolina and we even did a video tour of an awesome hippie van from the netherlands i think
you're going to be blown away by my top 10 most popular unique home tours from last year and let
me tell you number one came at quite a surprise even to me all right let's get started coming
in at number 10 on our list is sierra and lucas's homemade tiny house parked to escalante tiny house
village in durango colorado we wanted something we could grow into something that will last
that will be low maintenance and not something we're going to be done with in a couple of years
their two-bedroom tiny home was designed for
long-term living as this couple may one day choose to expand their family
we still have these moments of wow we did this babe like we we built this and it was
such an amazing opportunity going through all of that did bring us closer and it did
allow us not only as individuals to grow but we've come to this whole new relationship
now at number nine we have something completely different edwards custom family home made from 11
recycled shipping containers it started out as a joke with some friends at one o'clock in the
morning my friends you know they're making fun of me at first they go oh it's going to be a mobile
home park or something like that and use that joke as a drive for me to do something like this
i didn't go to save money i meant it as a fun project this home is super luxurious with
high-end furnishings a sunken living room and a gorgeous peekaboo koi pond edward created an
interesting layout using cantilevered containers and taking inspiration from frank lloyd wright
my eighth most popular video of last year is kara's nomadic tiny home
aka a converted van dwelling life on the road has
given kara an opportunity to see the country while working remotely
her home is equipped with a kitchen bedroom garage and even a rooftop deck
people would ask oh who built this for you did your dad do that or did your husband or boyfriend
build it for you no i built it and it feels so good to say that like i built this i beat these
stereotypes i beat these people's expectations it's been a good experience it really has
keeping with the theme of strong females that build their own homes
we have mariah's tiny home coming in at number seven
ever since i was a little girl i was always fascinated with architecture and design i started
to realize building a safe home for me was in part a desire to learn architecture hands-on and the
other part was really just a real need for a safe and stable home and a stable livelihood for myself
mariah's design is ultra minimal utilizing space-saving furniture
an open floor plan and lots of natural light
next we have the interesting story of one family
who chose to buy a tiny house for their two eldest children
for years we were feeling the squeeze in our house our brains were sparked
with the option of doing a tiny house as an extra bedroom this is kind of their little
refuge it still is close and it is attached to our house now for me this has really been the absolute
perfect answer that's one way of doing a home addition and it's really on brand for
this family who has multiple generations living on one shared property that includes the family farm
at number five in our 2021 popularity contest we have another alternative home and this one
is nothing short of an artistic masterpiece i took one look at this dilapidated little
cabin and i knew that this would be the place i would spend the rest of my life
ricky has been working on his home for decades and what started as a tiny home is now over 5
000 square feet of sculpture stained glass and mosaic some say his home is insane but
ricky maintains that it's passion that drives him obsession is here and passion is here
and the wheel keeps turning passion obsession passion obsession i will be working on this house
for the rest of my life now that's dedication bringing us back to the tiny home world we have
homeowners lauren and patrick at number four but their tiny home journey started with a crash
landing our trailer somehow jumped the hitch rolled back behind us and went over the edge
it was pretty devastating after picking up the pieces they began to rebuild and took
the opportunity to do a full redesign adding a small shed to be used as a home addition with
a giant living room porch to connect the two structures so what started with devastation and
destruction became a beautiful full-time home that had many of my viewers in complete awe
where we are at now is exactly how we wanted this
space to be from the beginning and that just really works for us
at number three we have stephanie's adorable vardo
which she built herself during coveted lockdown after her business shut down
the inside is whimsical and absolutely gorgeous and stephanie's bubbly personality is infectious
my plan was to build a space where i feel safe and that cheers me up that makes me
smile when i enter and it does and i'm really happy about that jen's beautiful
tiny home came in at number two last year and it's easy to see why everyone loves it
the interior is stunning with a luxurious layout for jen and her daughter to share
your house can be a school bus your house can be a tiny house your house can be a van
and that does not mean oh you're cramped up inside this little crazy thing
when it works for you you're going to be happier and you're going to live your best life
the end product was better than any picture i gave them hands down and yeah i cry every
time i watch jen's video alright here's the moment we've been waiting for number one
with over four million views jason's stealth van really struck a chord
this is essentially meant to be an apartment on wheels that looks like a work truck on the outside
i wanted something that was stealthy that i could feel safe and unnoticed in what jason has done is
pretty impressive he's basically living inside of a big city micro apartment hidden inside of a
work truck parked well wherever he feels like you gotta watch the entire video to catch all of the
innovation that he's put into this tiny home which by the way is saving him a ton of money while he
attends grad school in the city this allows me to have that urban lifestyle without the
crazy urban rents that we're seeing right now well done jason well done
