Single mom, Holly sold her 2800 sqft house in pursuit of simple tiny home life. With her brother, she built a tiny house for her daughter, Tilly--a dorm room alternative. And it's lovely & super practical! The standing height loft bedroom is incredible. 👉🏡 *Watch a tour of a Retiree's container home on wheels offers healing & affordable living:* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7anY8qgs7zVh2Q.html

Tilly is a very lucky girl to have a mom like that, cherish that. Another great video as usual. love the house very beautiful.

I tried so hard to listen to the mom in the first part of this, but my eyes could not stop looking at their dog. Can we talk about how adorable she is? She was just grinning away, part of the ongoing convo. 😍

The mom really has great thoughts for her life and Tilly's life. Really felt nice hearing her. Lovely home! Best wishes to the duo

Wow I’ve fallen in love with not only this tiny house but this beautiful woman. The things she’s done for her daughter has captured my heart ❤️. She’s absolutely correct about doing after you retire. It generally doesn’t happen because of health or just being too old to do those things. Do them now!!!!! Just another thing about this amazing woman 😍❤️😘

Very beautiful home, I love the fact that you can stand up in the bedroom and there's plenty of closet space.

I really love the design. I love the stand up loft. The wardrobes & chest of drawers provides plenty of storage. Really like the bathroom too.

This home is just beautiful! Great idea gaining residency instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars that can be used elsewhere! Bravo!

Beautiful design! Inside and out. Tilly is fortunate to have a mom who is investing in her future this way. Dorm life is not all it's cracked up to be. This will provide Tilly a place to stay quiet/centered while she studies. And the all-important independence we all craved at her age. Oh, and welcome to Colorado! 😊

It’s not just a hand. The Hamsa Hand is a universal sign of protection, power and strength that dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. ... The word “Hamsa” means “five,” representing the fingers of the right hand. For Hindus and Buddhists, it symbolizes chakras, energy flow in the body, the five senses and the mudras that effect them.

Tilly, what you did to your bedroom ceiling is amazing! You utilized every inch of your closet and dresser space to perfection. I love the home that your mother's love built. She rocks! You must be the envy of your college friends! I wish you much success with your studies and future careers.

Having this tiny home for a collage resident should be much safer and cheaper. Now you have a home after collage. Well done mom! So happy you could have that special time with your brother.🇨🇦

Congratulations to Tilly, Holly, brother, and pup! What a great home that reflects Tilly's style and creates a safe and beautiful sanctuary. I've been talking to my 16 yo daughter about tiny house options for awhile now and recently the conversation has turned to me wanting to build something for her to keep. So wonderful to see Holly acting on her instincts and building a firm foundation on which her sweet daughter can build a beautiful life. Bright blessings on you all!

As someone who, at age 47 was suddenly and out of the blue, struck with chronic pain, I understand doing things before retirement. (Thankfully I had been blessed with many opportunities to travel for fun before age 47!) I adore their plan- so well laid out, and pray it works out, as they sure deserve it! I love out of the box thinkers! I’m hoping one of our five kiddos will buy a tiny house!

This tiny house is amazing. Holly is an amazing mum and I hope Tilly realises this and works hard to make her mum proud. Holly has built a really good foundation for Tilly. Shout out to Holly's brother too.

OMG! Did anyone else notice that when Mom got all emotional... Doggy behind her was totally tuned in... so smart.. looking at Mom like.. “ it’s ok, calm down, I’m here. “. SO SWEET! And Mama’s Love and adoration for her daughter... Very touching.

Thanks mom! Both have made awesome sacrifices for a great future. Tilly's bedroom is the gest I've ever seen in a tiny house...drawers, closets, a TV, queen size bed, great lighting, space, height! Good luck, ladies.

I love Tilly's home. I've watched so many videos of tiny homes and if I got to choose one; it'd be the Tilly home! Beautiful

a AUsome lady. My Mom worked 16-20 hr days to raise me, she adopted me when I was 15 mos old. I know she does or will appreciate all you do and give up for her. ❤️

I hope that Tilley understands and appreciates what her mom and uncle have done for her. It sounds like much of mom’s retirement hinges on that Tilley follow through with the agreement to pay her mom back…a big risk. They created a beautiful home. I love the air-fryer drawer-such a great work-around. Best of luck to all!❤️

I live in Castle Rock Co. My youngest daughter and her family lived in Durango for 4 years before coming back down. This is a lovely mother who seems to want to help her daughter but expects her daughter to pay her back when she finds her job. So she’s not spoiling her daughter and giving her things on a SilverPlatter but helping her get a start and I think that shows a lot of love and teaching her daughter responsibility. They have created a lovely home. One of the prettiest I have seen. I am so much like her daughter I would expect to be able to walk in the loft with a full-size bathtub. LOL!

What a Loving Mom, setting her daughter up for success

I love how you manage to have everything you need in this tiny house. I especially love the kitchen n the upstairs bedroom that’s actually on the floor and not on a loft which I personally don’t like. You, young lady, are really fortunate.

Great house! Tilly is very lucky to have a wonderful Mom and Uncle to give her a great future!

What an amazing Mom.Tilly is such a beautiful girl and thanks to her Mom, has her future in the bag. Not many young people graduate and have their own home.I only wish that I could build my son a tiny home.

2 yrs into college, the daughter was fed up with room mates and dorm/apartment living. Single bedroom apartments were outrageous... she was also working part time. We helped her buy a house thus applying rent toward house payment. There was actually very little difference. Then when she decided to get married and move, she paid us back but had the equity to put down on a newer house.... worked out great and we are all so thankful that we were able to help her...

Great design and a great lesson in managing your finances and choices to fit your lifestyle. Good luck in school, Tilly!

Omg!!!! Ladies this is Absolutely Perfect !! I have all the same needs as Tilly … I’d love to stand in my loft I’m also 5’1 lol!! I want a nice bathroom full tub and kitchen needs are similar im so happy to have found this video!!! Im praying God can open up away for me to live this way but right now it’s just a dream!! Tilly u are blessed to have the mom u have ..who was able to do something like this for u… a place to live is the hardest thing to get trust me! God bless you ladies !!!

I was telling my daughter I was going to do this for her when she goes to college!!!! This is so awesome 🤩 😎

Right at the beginning Holly hit it on the nail - I mean we only use three or so rooms, and often even a smaller space inside. I always loved Frank Lloyd Wright's idea of windows letting in light and the outside becomes an extension of your interior space. When you for example have a tiny house you can multiply that space by many times by having large windows and skylights. I love what Holly did for her daughter with the assist of her brother. A big wow there and a tear too! Yes, the more I watch the THE stories the more we find that the tiny house movement is full of lovely people stories. By the way that tapestry is off the charts beautiful! Good design all over.

This mother is amazing. I love what she did to ensure her daughter always has home. Also, she is absolutely right saying to do things now rather than later. I wish I had done that, but now my health issues will not allow me. Best Wishes to both of them. The tiny home is awesome.

This is a beautiful Tiny Home. Your daughter is very blessed to have you as her mom.

The tiny home is set in such a wonderful area of Durango. Every part of the house has a utilitarian aspect. But also the style is so tasteful, stylish, and quirky in the best way. Tilly has a wonderful and loving Mom who has ensured that she will have a great place to live. This combined effort by a brother and sister shows what can be accomplished on a reasonable budget. Congratulations on a very successful endeavor.

I have watched a lot of Tiny Home videos and this one is more to my liking with standing up in bedroom/loft, larger bathroom, the layout is lovely. I wish the daughter well at Ft. Lewis, living around and exploring Durango will be a ++. Tapestries are BEAUTIFUL, very talented!! Nature all around, absolutely the best >>GREAT Gift Mama~~

The black and white looks very striking. My sister would adore it, that color combo is her favorite. What a great thing to do! ❤️

that's one of the nicest tiny houses i 've ever seen.I like that she has big wardrobes and a loft that you can stand up in.I hate most lofts because they are cramped and require you to crawl around on you're knees.The black accent areas are nice too.

This was soooo! Sweet a labor of LOVE..came out so Beautiful!!!...and Miss Tilly will feel Super Safe...much better than the dorm...Mom a very Nice Lady..so thoughtful...Tilly your Mom is one of a kind. 💕

That's amazing. My parents gave me a 2013 Nissan versa and it has helped me SO MUCH these last 5 years. I can only imagine how much your daughter appreciates getting a whole place to live.

Such a sweet beautiful family💕 Mom is a visionary💪🏽 Love her love for her daughter. 💓 FYI- above kitchen cabinets is The Hand of Fatima & it protects against evil😀

I'm not crying...all of you are crying...😭 What a beautiful gift and a great idea for someone just starting out and beyond. Well done Mom!

I was just talking to my sister about how I plan on doing this for my kids as well when they grow up. We own our home and have enough acres to place at least 3 tiny homes in our backyard. Praise God for it all!

Finally😂 someone I can relate to. I had my home built at 23. Why spent money on college when it can be used to invest in something you'll actually need. (My mom's words)

This sweet girl must be special to have a mother willing to sell her home, move and build her a home. What a lovely mother!

A sheer beauty in humanity! Makes me teared up! Forever, together live, that Mom s spirit and Tilly s spirit! ,✋In God s hands!

YOU are a gold-hearted Mom!! I have the same relationship with my daughter, she's 30 now. You two are going to LOVE Colorado! My daughter was born there but we moved back to family in NY. I miss Colorado so much. Really good planning on the Co. residency, you've thought of every little detail. Love the tiny house! What a beautiful family and puppy. Stay well! ENJOY!

What a wonderful story and what a beautiful tiny home! I love how they designed the standup loft! It looks very spacious💜 I wish Tilly and Holly all the best in their new life adventures. Thanks for this video👏👏

I really love that this was a family project. Bless them. This is a beautiful design and I'm really enjoying how your videos get better and better each time. Love to you both!!

Touched my heart through and through. Sacrifice for your daughter and the bonding on the journey with your family. The home is beautiful your brother did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.

What a wonderful mother daughter duo! 🍁👵❤🐕🇨🇦

May 2022 Ideally, every parent should watch this video. Their dog seems to understand every word! College dorms (and most apartments, etc.) don't allow dogs so this TOW is the perfect 'dorm.' In the future builds: maybe the bathtub could be back against the wall and the water heater somewhere else so that no has to hurt their knees. Maybe everything could be raised at least 12" in order to have under the floor storage. Instead of windows, you could have at least one marine full opening window on the ceiling of the loft and the option of a door on each wall. Security steel artwork (sunburst is popular) grating over the doors, with a screen door after that opens, and maybe a dutch door after that, for security purposes, that opens at both the top and bottom could help air circulate on the hottest days. You could also have at least two max fans on the ceiling instead of windows. That would be helpful on the road and when people have to park next to a road, or crowded parking lot. What kind of insulation did you use in the walls, floors, ceiling? This metal option is probably less heavy than wood (easier to move) and probably less vulnerable in a fire crises. Just in case: consider posting directions on the refrigerator about the importance of sliding out the air fryer, toaster before and after using it for meals because a guest might try to use it when everyone else is asleep. Maybe post a photo of it hanging out into the hallway because young adults are often drunk and not reading directions. Millions have dyslexia or can't read without their glasses on so a photo may be more helpful than written directions. If you live in Tennessee, see TOWS similar to this made out of recycled metal from a window company at Incredible Tiny Homes with Randy Jones. He lost everything in 2008 and his many friends helped him to 'bounce back.' Ideally, every college should have many RV parks similar to this nearby because every shelter is having problems finding good homes for all their pets. These TOWS could probably help save every shelter pet in the USA, Europe, etc.

Strong women raise strong women, full of respect for one another. Tilly, live and love your life. Mom, you should be very proud of yourself. Love to you both, ❤️

This is a beautiful tiny home, and the standing height bedroom has a great setup. Love the story, thanks for sharing!

Brilliant mom🎸⭐! Smart investment, clever and well planned move and awesome pre-retirement planning. I love how she made it all about Tilly. Very sweet girl and seems level-headed. Mom found a safe, central and nurturing community. Make living an adventure. BLESSINGS ✨

Tilly you have a beautiful home and a wonderful mother you are blessed.

Beautifull color scheme and decor, sticking to black, white and blue is a good decision. The tapestry on the ceiling and the shower curtain bring in a lot of character. Putting black in a tiny is really bold! As a small tiny it is very well designed! There's even a bathtub and a storage space!!

Tilly you are blessed with such a thoughtful mother. Cherish her, she deserves it 🌹🌹🌹

I love all your videos but this is my favorite story by far. I love that Tilly personalized the tiny house with all of her decor. And what an amazing mom, thinking outside the box. ❤️

Beautiful home! I like the way you can stand up in the loft!

Wow! Wonderful mom. The world needs more people/mothers like you.

What a wonderful thing for her mom to do. I've her space Tilly has. You are blessed.

I love this! Mom almost made me cry 😭 Great job Mom, I honor people who think and live outside the box 💯

That clothesline is also a great place to hang a curtain if the person sleeping there wants some privacy.

yessss, i love tiny houses with black in the decor! And I'm always overjoyed to see an adult realize they should just DO IT NOW cause you don't know what's gonna happen!

I loved how much room your tiny house actually had for things. I'm glad you thought to put in

This is one of the most beautiful tiny homes I've seen.to date. I love the black and white contrast. My favorite room was the loft room because there is room to stand up. I wish them luck for their future.

The black accent wall with the silvery moon and lights, wow, love it. The whole place is so nice, looks unique yet I watch these tiny house videos all the time and just have not seen one like this. What a great family effort. 💚💙💜 Edit, and I love the shower curtain. 😁

This tiny house is gorgeous. I love the personality. What a super mom! I don't know if you're ever read this, but just wanted to say thanks for being such a terrific mom and investing in your beautiful daughter.

What a mom, my mom was the same way she gave my 1 brother a cottage helped my other brother buy his first house and when she passed she gave me her house, which was the best of the three but who's counting. Anyways way to go mom, and as always stay safe, and God bless love ya Nancy

Yes you have the right idea! Don't wait to retire later, retire now asap if you can because is not promised and like you said when you're old it's not the same, when you're old, you won't be able to do it and enjoy it like you can now...you live once so live it up NOW!

Tily reminds me of my favorite character from Incredibles, Violet. So sweet and beautiful. As for the AC open a window in the loft with a small fan pointing out to draw the cool air across, people forget without an out the ac cannot force more air into the small space. It will quickly be solved. Take the airfryer outside when you cook, prevent everything you own from amassing oil film.

What a beautiful love story! Tilly has an amazing head start by way of her mother's love and cleverness! Best to you both!

So mom where are u going to live? How about a RV van? This is phenomenal! Just beautiful. I am so impressed with your single mom resourcefulness. Great use of your funds.

What a lucky young woman to have a mom like this! The cost of living is so high now, this is a perfect solution! We need to keep the equity taxes low so hard earned profits can keep benefitting those who earned it. This looks really safe and low cost to heat. Thanks for sharing!

I love this so much. Their bond is beautiful, and so is the home!❤️

What a smart Momma . This is one of the Best Tiny Homes I have watched. Absolutely love the clothes line and the air fryer station and the bedroom is lovely , really there is nothing that I would not like. Thank you for sharing❤

Awesome mom. You daughter is so lucky and she appreciates what you have done. The transition from high school to college or just adult life isn't easy. Especially when they have no clue how to do things now a days. School used to teach that kind of stuff. how to budget a house hold, money etc. Now it's all about the tests and schools don't have all those extra classes any more. Even after school clubs and such are gone due to well budget cuts etc. Now she will get a small crash course with your help.she is lucky to to save money from a dorm. Those are expensive and for some just not safe. Tilly gets to be safe in her own home. That is one thing that all people should feel is safe in their own homes and you provided that for her.

Love hearing about the High altitude windows prevent cracking, sweating and condensation. The dryer line in liv room and the combo wash dry and the 1200/larger heater ac. the bed couch. And the soft close drawers. Love the stand up loft, and that hidden storage. I also agree that tub is necessity lol

I love this tiny home! Especially the bedroom and bathroom! I would change the black to cherry wood, but it's gorgeous! Well done Tillie and Mom!

Think this is one of the best tiny houses ever seen.

Love the tiny house & the story of the mom & her brother bonding during build...even the beautiful pupper was listening to the mom talking about her brother-he glances at the mom twice, when she got emotional. Love their little family & the build.

Really appreciated this video. The mom reminds me of my mom. She will do anything for her children and grandchildren. We are never too old. Lol❤

Great job, kudos to your mom for having a wonderful heart & kudos to your brother for the beautiful build to make your vision a reality! Blessed journey to you both!

The hand isn't just a hand. It's the hand of Fatima or Hamsa. Meant to provide protection. Otherwise the house is adorable.

Been waiting to see a stand up loft like that! Only way I’d ever have a loft.

"That's usually an evil eye but that one isn't." Gold.

I can relate to this woman. I am a mom too. Our kids are the most important people in our lives. Love this story and the tiny house.

That is one of the best tiny homes I’ve seen yet! I love all of the black inside and the layout and design features are great. For being built by someone who doesn’t usually build tiny homes, it’s beyond awesome!

What a great mom!! And Uncle too! So excited for your future Tilly! You will be off to a great start.

Beautiful Tiny Home you are a Great Mom have so much Love for your daughter an Tilly is Beautiful I Love her hair she is all of out Future can say we are in Good Hands. Can't leave out your Fur Baby what a Beauty. Sending you all Love❤️💕❤️ An Paws of Love to your Beauty 🌿🐾🐾❤️🐾🐾🌿 Thank you for Sharing this Video.... Mom Rocks.👍👍🍁 West Coast Canada 🇨🇦 🍁

I love the design of this tiny home so much. Literally the only thing I would change is maybe make it slightly bigger so I can fit a full stove and oven in there and even that's a stretch.

This is wonderful. Good job mom. 👏🏼😘 But I want people to remember. It may be a tiny house. But it’s still a home her parents parent gave her. Most young people don’t have this… it’s huge !!! A privilege.. not a norm. Don’t feel bad about yourself if you don’t have parents who can provide this for you. You are still worthy and loved ♥️😘🇨🇦

Wonderful tiny house and heartwarming story for this single mom and her daughter! 💕 The hand with the eye is called Hamsa. It's a symbol to attract prosperity, fertility and to also protect from evil. 🙏🏼💕

Nice there's NOTHING like a mother's LOVE💕

The house is great but the dog is even better and steals the show!

Very nice gesture Tilly's mom did for her ❤❤

So neat. I too have ben thinking about helping my kids go tiny as they get ready for college. House looks great 👍

What a wonderful story and a beautiful home. Tilly and her mom are lovely people. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice & Mom’s extremely smart to do this for her daughter . Awesome & love the advice to travel & do what you can when you can . My husband & I unfortunately due to his passing only got to spend 33 years married he passed at 57 years young ,so your right again . Our kids were grown just getting ready to start traveling & in a 3 week period my life changed drastically. Good luck to both of you God bless . Waldorf md .

Love it! Colorado seems like a wonderful state to live in, as so many tiny homes I've seen seem to be located there. It's beautiful. Well done to a Holly and her daughter for making the brave decision to move there. I hope things work out for them.

Great Mom. Lucky girl.
