Let’s get serious for a moment: do you love your house? Does it make you happy sitting on your couch and looking around? Do you feel content? Does it have exactly what you need and nothing more? Do you love the materials that are used; do you find the layout of the rooms practical; does […]
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 […]
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 […]
Open house 2 July 2016
Hallo all! The open house that should be taking place on the 19th of June will now be on the 2nd of July. By postponing it I have more time to catch my breath. We have also decided to make it a joint Open House… Stichting Behoud GAS! Factory, the Urban Earthship and me and […]
Time to slow down
Dear people, I know that many of you are eagerly waiting for a sign of life from me, (or is that my ego talking? ;)) I imagine that you want to know how I’m enjoying life in my Tiny House. The fact is that I’ve been so extremely busy during the last few weeks that […]
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 […]
