alright guys let's jump right in and meet these sisters and take two tours of their tiny homes
i'm ashley i'm alexis and we live in side by side tiny houses
i live in my tiny house with my dogs and i live with my boss baby her name
is delaney and she's two a two-year-old tired
growing up we weren't close oh yeah they didn't like each other she don't like me that's not true
we like different things um and then we moved into an apartment together and we started getting close
and then after that year of living together immediately after we moved into tiny houses
i bought tiny houses on facebook i brought her with me to go on a tour
and then she toured one it was like oh i love it and then one tiny together
we decided to live in separate homes not just one home because
i don't like living with my sister we have just different styles i'm just a very type
a like things a certain way and she's more of like a more warm and homey person and i'm not
mine is more like a farmhealthy style and hers is more modern um her kitchen's massive
because jesse likes to cook and mine is like an afterthought like i have one because i need one
me and my sister paid different for a tiny house of mine was a
little bit more expensive than hers i paid close to eighty thousand dollars
i only paid 75 which is great because i usually pay more than her for everything
but this time it was her i was very excited when i saw that first set
how did i find this tiny house community well i found it
i googled it and we just got really lucky it wasn't built yet so i called the number
the same day and i really deposit and then i became a tour and it was just like dirt
and we were like wow we pay 475 and that includes the utility the water lawn care
this is my house that i've named woodhaven because she's made out of wood and that's my haven
this is my living room this is my bookshelf i had them kind of build this whole thing around
it because i love books and i refuse to get rid of any when i went tiny and i collect more and
then i also told them i had this like massive 50-inch that i refused to get rid of as well
they kind of put that into the design it's kind of big i wanted space because i like to dance
so i'm like i need to make the dance first
this is my ladder to the second loft we don't use it often and
that's the second loft which is a mess because the storage loft
this was originally supposed to be my reading nook so they like measured me
and then created this so i can read under here like a cool person would and then i had a baby
and you can't really read with a baby in a nook so this is where all her toys go
this is the kitchen i got a bunch of block countertops because
they're beautiful and i love them i just have a regular electric
stovetop i don't even like to cook so i'm not really sure where i got it but it's cute
i got a farmhouse sink because i couldn't get a dishwasher and i got copper because i thought
it'd be really pretty and it is so i put this stick on wallpaper i change it every season
and then they did these out of butcher block countertops i've tried minimizing this face so
that it looks fun but there's only so much you can do when you have like 10 50 mugs in a tiny
house this is my fridge i wasn't here for the whole mini fridge craze because i don't
like going to the grocery store and then i've got these pull out pantries as well
this is my least favorite part of the house only because i didn't realize how much space
one would need with a child when i designed my house there was no child in mind so this is my
washer and dryer combo which works sometimes when it works the good day when it doesn't work
you know we roll with it and this is my flush toilet i used to have a compost toilet but i
cloth diapered both baby the compost melon wasn't working for me no more so i just i had them switch
it out i was on pinterest and i was like let me do something fun so i tried peeling stick tile
which i obviously can't do because we're missing some pieces and none of these are straight but
you know life's an experiment we just keep rolling with it we roll with it this part is my favorite
this the bowl it's pretty i like it and this is the shower which is nowhere near big enough
for me and the boss raising a baby with no tub is no fun it's awful it's just awful and
then they baby this closet which was supposed to be my clothes it's not it's boss's clothes
and more boss's stuff so that she can reach it since she's at that age
how i baby-proofed my tiny house i had her fraternal grandfather build this mesi
structure barrier thing for her because i was terrified that she would just like crawl off
this is our room this is actually a queen size bed because it's pretty big up here and then
i got those two things for our clothes and we have skylights because i wanted to see the moon
my name is ashley and this is the chef's kitchen um it is my tiny house i do have a 26 foot tiny
house i chose blue for my house because it's really nice color it reflects the light well
and it also stands out without being too overbearing i chose the tiffany blue
door because that's my mom's favorite color made sure to have a part of her in my house
now let's go have a look inside my house and see what it's all about
so this is my kitchen i love to cook so i made sure that my kitchen was the biggest
part of my house i love being in the kitchen making recipes food is just something that's
very big in my culture so i have a three-quarter length fridge it's not a full-length fridge
and freezer but it's three-quarter length fits perfectly in a tiny house
i also have my pantry here it's a pull-out pantry so the top and the bottom both come
out and i made sure that they installed that to make sure i have ample space for all of my stuff
in my kitchen there's a lot of storage only because i do have a lot of things
so like all of my kitchen gadgets are down here i have a spiralizer crock pot i have
rice cooker add so much different gadgets because different recipes need different things
um and also i did make them install spice racks on both sides unfortunately i can't use this one
because of the um washer dryer combo it sticks out a little too much i love these countertops because
in my house you'll see i don't really have a lot of color it's mainly just black whites
and like neutral tones and the countertops add a little bit more sparkle and shine and also this
backdrop has elements of blues in it to keep it kind of a cooler tone within the kitchen
so this is my living room i love to have people over even though it is a tiny house so i made sure
to have a couch that can at least fit three people it can fit more because it is a pull-out couch
and it also turns into a full-size bed my dogs love to be in here very clearly they love to be
all around the house jump on the couch that's why i had to make sure to get a leather or a
fake leather couch this is so much easier to clean and with malini sometimes coming over
so much easier to clean there's storage underneath here it pulls up that's like where all of my extra
little knick-knacks and gadgets from my house like books um writing supplies all of that fun
stuff i also have a projector instead of a tv because i didn't want to take away space from
my wall so this is my screen whenever i'm ready to watch i'll just unhook it put it up and then
i'll be able to watch movies i can basically play anything i want same thing as a regular tv
these stairs lead up to the only loft my loft and that is where i sleep i do only have one loft
in my tiny house a lot of tiny houses have two i only have one because i wanted to make sure
that space for my kitchen but i do have these custom floating stairs that they built just for
my house just because i wanted something to bring in a little bit more warmth because it's mainly
just whites and blacks and grays so this has a little bit more of like an orange tone to just
make it a little bit more warmer in the living room area specifically and then right underneath
is where all my dogs play and all their stuff is that's where they sleep and all their toys are
this is my loft this is where i sleep i have a full-size bed up here
it fits better than a queen or a king i don't need all that space all that size
these are all just like my little cubby area i have my books my games my camera and then
my wall of shoes i love shoes um i have to downsize a lot to live in a tiny house
but i have to make sure to keep the majority of my shoes that is one of the main focals so if you
ever walk into my house you see the kitchen in the living room and then a wall of shoes
so this is where my bathroom is the only door in my house besides the front
door is this barn door that we had installed it's a sliding barn
door and i installed this latch on the outside and the inside so i can lock it
and so i also have a pretty nice size bathroom in my opinion only because i do
spend a lot of time in here as well i like to make sure like my outfits match or all
of that goes together so this is my closet in my tiny house i also have this bin of clothes
one of the big things about my tiny house is that i have a bathtub in my house
so i made sure that they installed one so that i could take a bath if i ever wanted to because i
am an athlete as well so i like to sometimes soak my muscles and just like get all that relaxation
and self-care going on so i have a bathtub that i can fit in comfortably not a lot of people can
but it was a custom house the last thing about my tiny house bathroom is that my toilet isn't
a regular toilet it's a compost toilet sometimes finding sewage hookups is extremely difficult
because i do have a tiny house on wheels so i can move it wherever i want and sewer checkups are a
little bit more difficult to come across so i just made sure to get accomplished toilet so that way
i don't ever have to worry about that if i need to park somewhere i can i haven't really moved to
my house because i haven't had a reason to but just having that option is really nice
i think what i like the most about the tiny house lifestyle is my impact it's not as big
environmentally living tiny it's just hard to have a lot of stuff i like that i get to raise
her you know in a home even if it's not a giant home it's still a home it enabled me to be out of
work for like nine months i was just living off savings because my expenses were so low
