Woohoo! After weeks and weeks of hard work, finally today my new website is online! Until now I did everything for the website by myself – you can come a long way with WordPress. But it was time to take the website to the next level and I asked David Web & Media to help me […]
Doing the laundry at the gas station
For the past couple of months, I’ve done a lot of my laundry at my friend Jennifer’s house, and sometimes I took a shower there as well when my water pipe got frozen. My dear mother also received a few loads of dirty laundry, in which case I would get it back cleaned and ironed. […]
Tiny Living: nice and quiet?
Um. Wasn’t more time and more peace one of the reasons for living in a Tiny House? You wouldn’t say that now. I’ve started working for myself full-time since November 1st, and as a start-up you need to invest a lot of time in your business. Lately I’ve been working just about 7 days a […]
Eek! Mold!
I guess by writing this blog I’m taking a chance that I will get a lot of criticism for not doing things right. Too bad, I never said I was perfect. But I want to write about this because I think I can help others to not make the same mistake. And how bad is […]
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 […]
Cats in a Tiny House
As you may know, I share my Tiny House with two furry friends: my cats Jack and Hella. It’s as much their home as it is mine, so I took that into account when designing my house. For instance, I asked Walden to add a cat flap to the design and I chose a fixed […]
Running around for the Tiny House movement
What a week it was: Monique and I have given two presentations and two workshops. We might not be neighbors – hopefully in the future we will be – but we get to spend plenty of time together! My week started with a visit to Mill home this Tuesday. I’ve known Gerard of Mill Home […]
About Bergen
If you’re not new to my blog, you might remember that in 2015 I got a group of people together to talk to municipalities about possible locations for Tiny Houses. We chose municipality Bergen NH, because two of the group members already lived there and there was a big preference for that municipality within the […]
Gardening Jitters
Although spring is a long time away, I’ve already got the gardening jitters. I’m reading about gardening and I want to get going! Way too early of course, but you can always make plans. I’ve always dreamed about a luscious garden with gorgeous flowers and herbs. I love cottage gardens and actually, I’m really in […]
Nothing to turn your nose up at
I bet you wondered about it. Come on, admit it, you want to know how my composting toilet is working out for me, don’t you? ;) Well grab a comfy chair and I’ll tell you all about it. I have a waterless toilet, also known as a composting toilet. I am off-grid, as you might know, […]
