In this tiny home tour, we share a brilliant 10' wide tiny house with a downstairs bedroom--a real master suite! Empty nesters, Traci and Matt were looking for opportunities to simplify their lives after the kids left home. So they decided to build a tiny house on wheels in their backyard and rent out their primary home. No more mortgage!

They're both carpenters by trade. Matt led the framing, and Traci did everything else. The end result is a wonderfully custom #tinyhousewithdownstairsbedroom with inventive closets and bathroom access. šŸ› ļøšŸ” With her personal build complete, Traci has now launched her own company, Big Bliss Tiny Homes in Tacoma, WA: www.bigblisstinyhomes.com/

    Shes a genius that closet and door system deserve awards
  • @rubberbiscuit99
    We need laws across the US that allow more of these smaller homes to be built (without permitting freakouts). It is critical for single people, young people, and older people who not only do not need a large space, but also cannot afford a large SFH.
  • I've seen thousands of tiny homes, you knocked them all out of the park!!! yes your Carpenter skills is going to take you places feeling these homes going to save the states from this horrific homeless community in every city
  • @CLance-mo7bo
    Your are smart You are clever You are ingenious You are a banker You are creative You are a visionary You are a builder You are a saver You are thrifty Love your style
  • @ianasham5685
    You r a genius. K the double entrances so people donā€™t get piled on. Big living room. Deep sink. Slim fan. Cutting board on stove. Raised fridge. Built in stairs in the shelving. Triple pocket doors. Maā€™am if it was one thing I would have been impressed but itā€™s like one thing after the other. Wow wow ........wow
  • The best bathroom setup Iā€™ve ever seen in a tiny house. You need to make house plans that can be bought!!!
  • @rhondah.1478
    This house is neat because she came up with so many clever ideas, like having the shower knob on the ceiling, the pocket doors that allow you to close off the bathroom and master bedroom in different ways for privacy, and the closet system was very cool. If she's going to build tiny homes professionally, I feel that closet system will be in high demand. I like the fact their bed is on the main level, not so sure I'd like that ladder/pantry combo. I can imagine a guest placing their foot incorrectly on top of a bottle and then falling. Don't like the sink is so small, I would need a little bit bigger. Love the idea of heated floors and the bar window. Interesting quirk with having so many doors to the outside. But overall very unique home!
  • @ellerose6835
    I really hope sheā€™s selling plans for the pocket doors and the closet space. There are some awesome aspects in this tiny!
  • @meryl9846
    Being a daughter of a carpenter/ handyman, I gotta say they are some of the most creative, think out-of-the-box and resourceful people I know and admire.
  • @anikac8380
    Her tiny house is one of the most appealing Iā€™ve seen! Her bedroom closet design is brilliantā€¦ brilliant, I say! I appreciate her commitment to reuse and all the creative ways sheā€™s executed her vision with such craftsmanship. Sheā€™s exactly the sort of person one would trust to Create a tiny home. Hope she does well in her future enterprise.
  • @NowBeFree
    Your imagination and ingenuity combined with your beautiful carpentry skills are so inspiring. I canā€™t even imagine that your business would be anything but a phenomenal success!
  • @gwenruckey6817
    I agree! She's a genius! Her architectural design with the small space is so impressive! You go girl!
  • I like how she put a bedroom on the ground floor with a big bathroom and also a big kitchen. Those are the three rooms that seem to be used the most in our house. She is smart!
  • @jbn9029
    as woman I love to see a female carpenter! So awesome!! Lovely home
  • It's beautiful! It feels like a full-size suite in a hotel. There's no tunnel effect. The cleverness of her designs, especially the electricals, doors, shower and ladder is amazing!
  • @peggygenoway
    Oh yeah....heated floors! This is a beautiful labor of love. You clearly are talented beyond words.
  • @jaimejones2723
    SERENDIPITY! I was just looking over a collection of 25 woodworking manuals I thrifted a week ago to learn skills to build a tiny home or earth ship and stumbled upon this video. I was just lamenting the fact that there is a lack of women carpenters to try to apprentice with. WOW she is amazing. The details! I'm truly blown away! Please start your own you tube channel and let us into your woodworking world. You would get hundreds of thousands of followers in a very short time. We are a huge tribe of alternative livers. I hope your business turns out as you want it to be. Many Blessings!
