Tiny House Life

I’m finally reading a book — The Andromeda Strain 📚 by Michael Crichton — on my porch. It is very nice outside.

I’m really fond of the bamboo-and-steel canopy. If I had a bigger yard, I’d definitely choose this… it’s truly beautiful.

If I plan to redo my tiny house, I would go with this exterior wood like this… It is a beautiful house.

Apparently “burping the house” is a thing — airing out pillows and bedding weekly to kill bacteria and freshen everything up. Now I want to do this. 🪟

I’d love my own analog room. I’m already planning a sunroom off my bedroom, but that’s where the computer desk is going to free up space. Definitely no TV in there either. Maybe I’ll build a small separate room outside next to the house instead. Hmm.

I love this creativity how is is painted on the wall. Maybe I could do something like that in my tiny house. Hmm.

I plan to grow herbs later this summer & fall to see how it goes. I usually struggle with keeping plants alive & tend to let them die. I already have flowers in the yard. Let’s see how well I care for them.

Considering my porch, I want a wood decor vibe. Adding wood to the wall will highlight my seating area, possibly with wall decor and an outdoor fan. It would transform my outside into a second living room!

I’m tempted to purchase The Stud Desk for my LEGO collections. It fits perfectly with my Tiny Home lifestyle, allowing me to work from the kitchen table, the living room, or the porch using my new seating arrangement… Hmm.

My cozy seating setup on my porch. I love it.

Living in a 480 square foot tiny house, I need to be careful with clutter — too much and the whole place looks crowded, messy, and distracting. I want to live comfortably, with decor that feels nice and peaceful.

“When you have too many small items, the eye doesn’t know where to land. Instead of seeing a beautiful collection, you just see a mess.” — Maria Killam via The Spruce

Small items can be fun. Clutter is not. The trick is grouping pieces with a common thread and giving the eye somewhere to land.
