The Kentucky family lives sustainably and respectfully apart as part of the tiny homes movement.
Keli and Ryan Brinks and their two teenagers are like most American families, except at night, the Brinks retreat to their home, while their children each take to their separate houses on the same property.
“We didn’t want to carry a mortgage, so we moved to Kentucky from Michigan where it was cheaper,” Kelly, 46, a family preservation specialist, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “My husband wanted us all to live under the same roof but I didn’t want my kids to go through their teenage years feeling like they didn’t have privacy.”
Lennox told Today of her outside bathroom, “That was the scariest part in the beginning, when I’d have to go in the middle of the night. I remember calling over to [Brodey] and asking him to stand on his porch and watch me while I ran to the bathroom. But now we have lights and lamp posts, so it’s not bad.”
A disadvantage of their living arrangement is the lack of central space for guests, however, the family utilizes their fire pit, pool house and pool. Keli and Ryan also have a home office inside another cabin. And for a more sustainable lifestyle, the Brinks have a chicken coop and goats, which they plan to breed for milk and cheese.
