Tiny house siding has been coming along nicely. I decided to give the trailer a new paint job as well. Here it is with just the primer. Final photos coming soon.

On another note, if anyone is interested in experiencing a stay in my tiny house, I’ve put it up on HomeExchange! Message me for the link.

My tiny house has been getting a new facelift over

My tiny house has been getting a new facelift over the last few weeks! So much work. Thankful for my dad who has spent many days over here helping me get it done, despite the extreme California heat. I decided on T1-11 panels with an abundance of heavy duty caulking and paint to hopefully avoid the leaking issues I had with the old lap siding. More pics to come. ☺️

Can you spot the tiny house? 😊 This is where it’s parked now days. My daughter’s enjoying the space now, which works out perfectly since rentals in California are pretty high. I always love visiting her and reminiscing about the three years we lived in the tiny house together. I think of life as “before building the tiny house” and “after building the tiny house”. It’s one of the best decisions I ever made!

Our “big house” can sometimes feel small with 4 people in it, so I often sneak out to the tiny house in our backyard to work or to relax and nap up in my old bedroom. Thankful for this space! 💛

When I was building my tiny house back in 2015, I never imagined that 6 years later I’d be using it as my space to get ready before my wedding. 🥰 We worked extra hard for months to get our new house and yard ready to host our wedding. I’ll share some photos in the coming days. Last photo here shows three generations with my mama and my daughter helping me get ready. 💛

My tiny house has a new home (in our backyard) + I’m offering my biggest discount yet on my plans - 50% OFF! (see below for coupon code)

I've recently merged families with my fiance, Marc (there's four of us now!) and we needed a bit more space than my tiny house could offer. In June 2020, we purchased a small fixer upper in Sacramento County and we've been doing renovations ever since with many more on the horizon. My tiny house is now nestled into our backyard. I work from home and enjoy being crafty so I've been doing some slight alterations to the tiny house living room to convert it into a creative work space. The bedrooms act as guest rooms for now, but the whole house will eventually be offered as an Airbnb in the future. More on this later!

While these are all very exciting changes, we're pretty exhausted and our renovation funds are running low. As I was pondering ideas to keep our progress going, I realized a discount might help us financially as well as give others the opportunity to afford the plans who may not be able to purchase them otherwise. I love the thought of sharing them with more people!

Use coupon code HOLIDAY2020 to receive 50% OFF at checkout! Link in bio.

I’m super proud of the work I put into the plans and feel that even if you’re just curious about the details that went into my home or just need inspiration for your own design and build, the plans are worth checking out. You can learn more about what’s included at the link in my bio!

My view from the couch, which I never posted a photo of but really isn’t that exciting cause I went for comfort instead of aesthetic. 🙂 I promise to post a photo soon but the house is kinda torn apart because..... WE’RE MOVING! I recently bought a fixer home in the Sacramento area and I’m moving the tiny house to the new property. I’ve also recently gotten engaged 🥰 and my daughter Katie, myself, my fiancé Marc, and his son Machai are all moving in together in the new house. Since there’s no way I wanna get rid of my tiny house, we made sure the property we chose had RV access and space in the yard to park it. So over the coming weeks/months, we’ll be prepping the tiny house as an airbnb and space for family to stay when they visit. LOTS of changes over here so I wanted to post an update. Hope everyone is staying safe out there! 💛😷

ATTN: If you’re local to Sacramento or the surrounding areas and you’d like to try to repurpose my couch, send me a message! I’m taking it out to replace it with something that works better for my back. The couch provides a whole bunch of storage, the pull out sections make into a bed, and the cushions are super comfy for sleeping on. I built this into the space, so some woodworking knowledge and extra materials might be necessary to get this to fit into your own space properly. Swipe for more detailed pics.

Homeownership is no joke! Found some black mold on

Homeownership is no joke! Found some black mold on the inside of my wall and after investigating, decided it was necessary to open the wall from outside and cut out some of the OSB. Reeled my dad in for this project, too. So thankful for the quality time spent on construction projects with him lately. ❤️ We didn’t find a plumbing leak but found evidence of a leak in the window so we replaced it and sealed everything back up. Hopefully we took care of the issue! 🤞🏻

I’d been looking for just the right cabinet for this corner since I wasn’t using the standing desk as much as I thought I would and I needed a place for linens. The perfect solution was a father/daughter project to build one from scratch, exactly how I wanted it. I’m so happy with how it turned out! Notice, you can see the square leaded glass we used for the door on the top shelf in the before photo (swipe). It used to just be a decoration but now it’s useful AND pretty. 😊

I’ve been making some small changes around the house and it’s so refreshing. This cute little macrame plant hanger was a birthday gift from my friend @angiewarren and now houses one of my beloved air plants that used to be in my kitchen window. ❤️ #itsthetinythings

Latest project on the house was a new coat of paint before the rain. Now I can enjoy the holidays with less worry and focus on gift making. 😊 What’re your fall/winter projects?

We’re in that in-between-seasons phase when you can’t decide if you need the AC on or the heater. It’s been too cold downstairs and too hot upstairs without either. I remember finding the perfect setup last year though and I’ll likely scroll back through my posts after sharing this to find out what it was. It’s so neat to have lived in this house now for multiple years and to settle into yearly routines and traditions. I already started costume gathering/making for a Renaissance Faire we went to last weekend and thrifted my daughter’s Halloween costume already as well. A blink and I’ll be pulling out the Christmas decorations. 🥰

Working on a sewing project this week. Plenty of space! In all honesty, the “dining table” mostly gets used for crafting, puzzles, and homework. 😜

I’ve been using The KonMari Method for years now

I’ve been using The KonMari Method for years now and it’s made tiny living so much more enjoyable for me. I’m not a minimalist (I do love my collections) but making sure everything I own is something that brings me joy has been the perfect way to naturally pair down my belongings without any heartache. Being intentional about my things and where I store them is really fun for me and I even love cleaning and organizing now, especially because it doesn’t take very long and results in a peaceful environment for us to spend our time in. #notanad

We had a visitor this evening when we came home. 🥰 His owner moved out of the space next to us, so I think he was a little lost. No worries though - she came back for him.

I’m in the midst of painting the house again before the rains come back around. I’m really looking forward to the cozy fall/winter season, knowing the house is all sealed up and I can relax and enjoy it. 🌧

A lot of changes are happening over here. My daugh

A lot of changes are happening over here. My daughter started her Junior year of high school, she’s driving, and she picked up an awesome first job. This translates to me having the house to myself most of the time. Although it’s quiet and can feel lonely at times, it’s been a smooth transition and feels really natural. Being a young mom, I’ve never experienced adulthood without Katie. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed raising her and now I’m starting to find myself with more time to foster other relationships and pursue hobbies. I have some dreams and goals I’d like to accomplish before she reaches 18, so I’ve been putting my mind to it and can’t wait for the next chapter. Here’s to two more years before we both venture out on our own!

Pictured is my daughter’s bedroom door. Her room is just above the kitchen. The bump out over the front door adds an extra 32” to her room giving her 11’ x 8’ of space.

We’ve been living in my tiny house for over two

We’ve been living in my tiny house for over two years now - four years since I started building. Looking back, I can see all the positive changes since then and it’s overwhelming in the best way. A huge weight lifted off my shoulders through the process and I feel so much peace and freedom in my life. Following through with a dream like this helped me gain a self-appreciation I didn’t have before and it’s given me the confidence and motivation to pursue other adventures in my life. It wasn’t easy, but it was all worth it. 💛
