Tiny House Life
I’m enjoying my Iced Mocha latte with Almond milk—it’s so delicious! But I might be due for a new espresso machine. I’ve had this one for about 5 years now. It’s still working well, but I’d love a machine that offers more pressure to bring out a richer, more aromatic espresso flavor.
One of my fav rabbit holes: tiny house browsing. Own a 12x40 house & love every square foot of it. But this cabin from Craft Houses? Check those photos out! Solar-powered, no loft, all on one floor. It's giving cozy retreat energy & honestly, I wish I'd gone this route. Only if I had money!

That arched doorless shower is doing a lot — in the best way. Blue-and-white stripe tile wrapping wall to ceiling, framed by a perfect arch. No door, no hardware, nothing interrupting the pattern. What gets me is how committed it is — the stripe doesn’t stop at the shower entrance, it just keeps going. That kind of design confidence is rare. A bathroom with an actual point of view. If I ever have the bathroom space for it, this is the vision.
This French tiny home is a total fairytale. The artisanal woodwork and cozy lounge nook make it feel so magical. It is incredible how they fit two lofts and a huge kitchen into such a functional design. It looks like the perfect, unique escape. Link 🔗
Dinner’s on the stove. I looked out the window and saw everything buried under a fresh blanket of snow. The trees and the fence line — quiet and white. There’s something right about cooking for loved ones while it’s still snowing outside.
That DIY tile trick is brilliant. Instead of mixing mortar and making a huge mess, you just use the stick-on backing and place the tiles directly on the wall. So much simpler and cleaner. Now I’m tempted to try it in my kitchen—I just need to find the right tiles I like.
Oh, a gallery wall project as a spring goal? Yes please! I've had a collection of frames sitting around for years just waiting for their moment, and this is finally it. The plan is to fill up an entire wall in my living room — different sizes, different shapes, all the things — and I want it to feel warm and fun and so very me.
One tip from this article that I thought was clever: arrange everything on the floor first, trace your frames onto kraft paper, then tape it to the wall as a guide before you hammer a single nail. No more walls full of accidental holes!
Can't wait to get started! 🖼️
So here's something I haven't done in way too long: adult coloring.
I was really into it for a while back in DC. There's something about sitting down with a good coloring book and a fresh set of colored pencils that just... hits different. No screens. No notifications. Just you, some intricate little design, and the very important decision of whether this flower petal is going to be purple or teal. (The answer is always teal, by the way.)
That fresh lumber smell, 70° sunshine, and a good book? This is living. 📖☀️ Currently deep in Macabre by Kosoko Jackson on my brand new porch — just need some chairs and a swing to make this perfect. Spring is knocking on the door and I am here for it. 🏡
So apparently Americans just “discovered” lüften, — the German practice of airing out your home — and gave it the very dignified name of “house burping.” Germans have been doing this for CENTURIES. A Yale sleep psychologist explains why it actually works:
“You know that feeling when you’ve washed your sheets and they’re so clean and fresh? It’s almost like you’re giving yourself that feeling on a daily basis.”
Spring cannot get here fast enough. My tiny house needs all the fresh air it can get — ready to fling open every window and the front door.
