Exactly one year ago yesterday was the day when the build of my Tiny House was finished and my dream home was driven to Alkmaar. Wow, a year already, what a milestone! Next Thursday I will have lived here for a whole year, back then it took me three days to move. I have such […]
Take a walk in my shoes
I don’t want to let myself be guided by negativity. I believe one can achieve so much more with a positive attitude, and it will make you a happier person. But unfortunately, negativity finds its way into my life as well and I have to find a way to deal with it. And it gets […]
Spring in the garden!
It was such nice weather the last few days! After a week of mourning for my sweet cat Jack I needed something cheerful around the house, flowers in the garden! Last Sunday I went to the garden center early in the morning to get some violets, primula and seeds. I hardly go out on a […]
A new streetscape in Hardegarijp
On January 2nd, I paid a visit to Mill Home in the beautiful village of Mill, Noord-Brabant. I’ve known Gerard Dijkstra of Mill Home for a while; he’s a super likable man who heartily supports the Tiny House movement and philosophy. Every now and then we call each other to catch up on how both […]

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 […]
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 […]
The first month living Tiny
Today is the longest day of the year and the first day of summer. As I write this, I can hear the birds outside, the sun is shining even though there are grey clouds, and it just rained a little. The plants in my Tiny House garden are thriving! Many plants are in bloom: primrose […]
I live in a Tiny House!
I now live in my Tiny House! In a beautiful location surrounded by greenery with a view to die for. It is just a stone’s throw from Alkmaar train station but still with the feeling of living outside the city, and having the people of Stichting behoud de GAS! Factory and the Urban Earthship as […]
