#052 - Cris and Bryh from Big Life, Tiny Home are back for round 2 to update us on how they've officially become tiny house builders.

Bryh Joy & Cris Edwards are two middle-aged single mums, besties, interior designers and tiny home builders based in Tweed Heads in NSW! They see and feel the housing affordability crisis and aim to provide a uniquely different tiny house service with genuine care for their clients.

Cris and Bryh were on the show back in episode #20, talking all about the first tiny home they were building with no experience. I wanted to bring them back on the show to share all about what they’ve been up to since they completed the build of the first tiny.

In this conversation we talk about:

• Lessons, experiences, and funny stories from the building process of their first tiny house (which many called the most beautiful tiny home in Australia)
• The interior design approach they take with their tiny house builds
• What makes them different from other tiny house builders and the direction they're headed with Big Life, Tiny Home
• The different tiny house models they offer and how much customisation is possible… and lots more!
