With the help of four lovely ladies I am catching up with translating my blogs into English. That is why I occasionally read old blogs again, which makes me realize how much has happened in the past five years. How much I have changed. And it also makes it painfully clear to me that it […]
How to start a Tiny House initiative group
So you want to live in a Tiny House. And you have already realized that it is not that easy to find a place where you can legally live in your dream house. You can go to the municipality on your own to ask for a residential location for your Tiny House, but it is […]
Smellicious
In many areas living small is just a bit different than living in a house of a regular size. I have already highlighted many topics when it comes to tiny living but I have never talked about smells in the house. In a small house, odors linger longer and are more present. Do you have […]
Tiny House projects in the Netherlands
Last Saturday I did a photo quiz with my students during the course meeting. I showed pictures of thirteen Tiny House projects in the Netherlands and the students had to guess in which municipality those projects are located. It was a nice and playful way to show how many projects have already been established; how […]
Under the sheep’s wool duvet
As you know, I live off-grid in my Tiny House, without connections to the electricity grid, water supply and sewerage system. I don’t even have Wifi ;) I have written about how I organized it many times; you can read about it all in my blogs. But the subject of heating in wintertime is still […]

And which theme fits very well with the month of December? Right: decluttering! In the month of presents it is very useful to get some tips and tricks […]
Marjolein in het Klein December promotion!
The time of holidays has arrived again. Thanksgiving, Sinterklaas, Christmas, and all the “gift giving” that usually accompanies it. Black Friday advertisements are spreading like wildfire and consumerism is booming. Do I want to participate? No, frankly not. But why then a December promotion? Well, I’ll explain that. I am a self-employed person who earns […]
Enthusiasm for Tiny Houses? Oh yes!
Every now and then I hear directly or indirectly from municipalities that they doubt whether there is any interest in the idea of living in a Tiny House. Sometimes it is specifically about living in outlying areas – areas outside urban agglomeration – where facilities are less accessible. Sometimes local councilors or civil servants think […]
Call: living in a food forest in Overijssel!
Do Tiny Houses and food forests make you happy? Would you prefer to live in or on the edge of a food forest in your own Tiny House? Does living in Overijssel appeal to you and do you want to actively participate in shaping a new housing project to realize such a combination? Then I […]
