Every now and then I get questions from people who are interested in living in a Tiny House. For example: ‘what about your registration at the municipalities?’ Or: ‘where in the Netherlands can you put your Tiny House? Can you park it on private property and live in it? With a farmer? Is that […]
Surprising meetings
Since I decided to go live in a Tiny House and started this blog and the Facebook page (Tiny House Nederland), I keep meeting people with similar dreams or who are just fascinated with the idea. It is like throwing a pebble in a pond; you never know how big the rings will get but it’s […]
Letting go and moving on
It has been quite a week. A week of goodbyes and letting go. On Monday I had to put down my beloved cat Tommetje, after one last weekend of giving him all the love that I have in me. It was horribly sad and hard, but it is better like this. I know in my […]
Saying goodbye to a buddy
Today no happy update about my Tiny House adventure. Ok, very short then: the flea market was great, fine weather, made some nice cash. So that wasn’t at all bad. But today I’m writing with a heavy heart, because I’m about to lose one of my buddies. Tommetje, my dear, sweet, blind cat will be […]
Downsizing part 3: the flea market!
Well, that’s nice! Beautiful weather yesterday and the predictions for Monday are to cry about. And what will I be doing on King’s Day? Selling my stuff at the flea market! Shoot, what a pity. But anyway, we’ll make the best of it. My friend Renate will be there, we’ll bring some nice snacks, wear […]
The question of registration
People ask me sometimes how I’m going to register at the city council. And I don’t have an answer to that right now, because I don’t even know yet where I’m going to live. If I can’t be registered at the address my house is at, I’ll apply for a correspondence address with the council. […]
A Tiny meet-up and no less than 3 possible places to live!!
Last Saturday I met two nice and hugely enthusiastic Tiny House lovers. I came into contact with them through this blog and we went for lunch in Alkmaar. How great to talk to like-minded people! All three of us have completely different backgrounds, stories and plans, but at the same time so much in common. […]
The Tiny House movement
I’ve started a Facebook page: Tiny House Nederland. I’m regularly posting nice examples of Tiny Houses and other useful articles there to inspire people in the Netherlands interested in Tiny Houses. For whatever reason. The other day I got sort of blamed for posting only American houses on this page and that I shouldn’t have […]
A small glimpse of the design!
Hi there, dear readers! In my first message here I wrote that I’m writing this blog for myself, and I still am, but secretly I really enjoy the fact that there are people like you out there who are interested enough to read about my adventures. So thank you for that! And now, rapapaaa rapapaaaaaa.. […]
Discover your spot
Yesterday I went out with a good friend of mine, Renate, in the area of Bergen and Schoorl. Tiny House “plot spotting”. Because I’m still full on searching for a plot for my soon-to-be newly built little house. What fun we had! Me behind the wheel, stopping here and there, and Renate getting out of […]
