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 […]
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. […]
A small glimpse of the design!

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 […]
Looooking… for a plot!
Do you know that old television show, “Looking for Jolanda”? (My god, I’m getting old..) Well, I’m looking for a plot of land, hahaha! I’ve always got tunes in my head.. ;) Anyway, I haven’t been idle: as you can see I’ve made a nice flyer and thanks to dear friends it is currently circulating […]
And suddenly my dream became a bit more real
This morning I got into my car and drove to the picturesque village of Olst close to Deventer for an appointment with Daniel of Hermit Houses. I contacted Daniel via the website www.hermithouses.nl to ask whether they had heard of the Tiny House movement and whether they would be interested in building something similar. That same […]
Where will my house live?
Ok, imagine this: I’ve placed the order, the layout has been decided and the production of my tiny home can start. Let’s be crazy and say it will be ready in 3 months’ time. Purely hypothetically speaking, of course! But where then will I park my mobile mansion? Well now, in my head this is […]
