    I remember Lupe! I think I saw their house on Tiny Home Tours as well. Lupe, you have made a lovely home for you and your son. I like that you were so considerate of his privacy and personal space when designing the build. Great job!
  • The mosaic tile in the shower is so beautiful and creative!☺️
  • @JonniD
    🙂👍👍 Absolutely LOVE the son's room. Hate it when parents pretend children don't need their own space.

    Thank you Lupe for sharing your homes. I truly Admire the goals you had set for you and your son and accomplished them. The fact you continued to research and pursue tiny living in Oregon, speaks volumes about your character. You have accomplished the American dream to have a home, and you have done it twice. Not only do I find your story/goals inspirational, but quite affordable in this time and age. Like a lot of people who have built their tiny homes have no experience, but was willing to learn and you did a good job. You made your homes, the way you wanted, and considered your son needs as well. I love the tile in the shower, all the Plants, I love plants, full size appliances, including the washer and dryer, which I really like in a tiny. The kitchen is my favorite part. You managed to pack a lot in your tiny, the bedrooms upstairs are nice sizes, that holds the full/queen size beds I really love. The yurt is just an added bonus that I sure will really come handy when your son becomes a teenager. You really did come up with some good ideals when building your homes. I like the fact, your homes feel lived in, with everything you want, I too would do the same thing. I wish you and your son great success in whatever you do. And please do Not pay any of these negative comments Any attention. Their motives behind them are quite oblivious. Enjoy tiny living !!

    Love how much thought she put into creating space for her son. Smart,resourceful Mom! Love the shower.
  • @staceyp434
    I absolutely love your living spaces. I wish I could live there and how you include your son is just awesome. You’re creating such a loving environment and a wonderful home for him. Also loved all your plants. I killed mine and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve got a couple survivors. The winters in Alaska very hard and dark. God bless you, if you read this, you’re doing an awesome job
  • @VEWNZ
    A sweet house full of love and light. You've inspired me to get some house plants. Makes such a wonderful difference. Your son is so lucky to have a smart mum that made a really secure place for him
  • @widowswatch6610
    Love everything and the bathroom tile work too. They have PLENTY of space. Cool. ….
  • @Dinsdale2020
    Great home! Yurts have been used for thousands of years. They just work and leave a small to no footprint. Waxing the roof with car wax made the rain run off like madness. Lol We’ll done 👍👍🙏
  • @dscrerar1111
    The only thing I would like to see is a bathroom for the yurt. Then her son or her visitors have own facilities. I really like the design. Just less is more. Very personalised 😊
