Although spring is a long time away, I’ve already got the gardening jitters. I’m reading about gardening and I want to get going! Way too early of course, but you can always make plans. I’ve always dreamed about a luscious garden with gorgeous flowers and herbs. I love cottage gardens and actually, I’m really in […]
Nothing to turn your nose up at
I bet you wondered about it. Come on, admit it, you want to know how my composting toilet is working out for me, don’t you? ;) Well grab a comfy chair and I’ll tell you all about it. I have a waterless toilet, also known as a composting toilet. I am off-grid, as you might know, […]
The mystery of the missing slippers
How on earth do you do it: losing things in your Tiny House? I mean, in 20 square meters of living area, there are only so many places where you can put your things, right? But I managed to do it somehow. It was Friday the 23rd of December, I had invited a few friends […]
Workshop now also available in Rotterdam
First of all, I want to wish you all the best for 2017! I hope it will be a year of renewal, hope, love, happiness, health and safety for you. A new year is usually accompanied by resolutions, which in most cases end up nowhere. I’ve been there;) But it is a good thing to […]
Taking a shower at home. What a blessing!
I was finally able to take a shower at home this morning! After having washed myself ‘old school’ for weeks, with a tub of hot water and the occasional shower at friends or family. Let me tell you, I become so happy with all these things that most people take for granted! Big happiness being […]
The tiny Christmas spirit
It’s almost Christmas! This will be my first Christmas in my Tiny House. I was planning to decorate my home with a few Christmas decorations; not too many, just enough to get that Christmas feeling. But because of work and other engagements, I never got round to doing it. And just when I had decided […]
Where there’s smoke…
Because of all the consternation that was made about the program on SBS6 called “Je eigen Droomhuis” – which was totally devoted to the build of my Tiny House, I never had time to write a blog about what happened to me last week. The program was wonderful, I must admit. I am thrilled with […]
Tiny Cuisine
I love cooking, but only on my terms. Not too long, not too complicated, and when I have all the time in the world. Don’t expect a four-course dinner from me. I’m at my best making one-pan dishes and casseroles. I like standing in the kitchen for half an hour to an hour and then […]
Tiny House interior photos
It is a beautiful sunny day, my house is tidy, and it is time to take some pictures of the interior! I have now made my heavenly Tiny house all my own; I have given it my personal touch. Yesterday I hung up my guitar, put up a shelf in the kitchen for my juicer […]
Back to the basics
You often hear the term burnout these days. Everybody’s tired, it seems. I too, was on the brink and had to step on the brakes. Not surprising though, the past year has been a madhouse. It was great, but crazy! With a clear goal in mind I speeded forward like a ball of lightning, and only […]
