Every house has a heart. A place where people are seemingly automatically drawn towards. Where it feels good; where life is present. Which place that is depends on the residents, although I think that some houses have such a center, such a heart themselves. For me, the kitchen is one of the most important places […]
Green neighborhoods on the rise
Green, ecological neighborhoods are on the rise in the Netherlands. Neighborhoods of the future, where the starting point is that we have to relate to nature in a different way. Nature-inclusive, circular, with a great eye for biodiversity, native plants, climate resilience and with a diversity of houses. Not unimportant: Tiny Houses are welcome there! […]
The big impact of light on small spaces
I have been living for a week and a half in a temporary house — an apartment next to my parental home. The place is a bit of a ‘pipe drawer’, with few windows and therefore, fairly dark. What a difference with my light Tiny House! It makes me realize how important light is for […]
Farewell sweet house
It’s done. I’ve moved. I’m homeless. I’m living with my mother again. What a strange idea! The past few days have been very intense, both physically and emotionally. I never thought it would be so much work, moving out of a Tiny House. But luckily, I had help from dear friends. And how great it […]
My favorite crockpot recipe
In the Grote Tiny House Podcast epidose 13 Natasja and I appealed to our listeners to send in their favorite recipes. We would then turn it into a PDF Tiny House cookbook.

My way through the crisis is one of hope
Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while knows that I used to write an article every now and then in the category of ‘Caring for the Planet’. I haven’t done that in a long time, although I do think about it often. The fact that we are in a global crisis of […]
Tiny House interior: the dining table
In my current Tiny House, I have chosen not to have a dining table in the house. Well, I do have one, but it’s hidden in the sitting area. I can conjure it up when I need it, but it doesn’t bother me when I don’t need it. That way it doesn’t take up unnecessary […]
Tiny House sold

Adventure is also uncertainty
I think it’s time for an honest blog about uncertainty. You may think that I have all the wind in my sails and cycle through life effortlessly. Believe me, I also have doubts, fears, and insecurities. I have things that don’t work, that take a lot of effort. If you take a leap of faith, […]
