{tiny tuesday – happy holidays from the tiny mountain home}

10 Dec

i am way overdue for a tiny home update. Β i have had a lot of personal things going on lately, so i haven’t been taking as many fotos or blogging as much.

plus, the holidays kind of make me want to hibernate… and so does my adorable tiny house… especially when i come home one day and it has been surprisingly decorated…Β like this :

tinytuesdayholiday-1

it’s like living in a snowglobe right now… for real. Β especially with this fun little wordpress snow falling all over the blog πŸ˜‰

{and i have the coolest landlords/neighbours ever!}

{tiny tuesday – details matter!}

22 Oct

sometimes when living and/or working in/with small spaces, practicality typically outweighs aesthetics…however, that is not the case in the amazing tiny home i live in.

tinyhouse-33

this week, i wanted to focus on some of the features that make this home extra cool and special. Β the builder thought of everything to make it functional and practical while keeping the visual appeal as well as the modern-meets-mountain feel.

one of my favourite things in the kitchen is the sink! for one, i love a stainless steel sink. so easy to clean and just looks sharp, right?! Β this one is complete with garbage disposal and stretchy-faucet hose thing. Β i love those, too!

and i love this second little sink to the left… so practical that it doubles as a colander! can also use it to dry dishes or rinse veggies prior to cooking. genius. Continue reading →

{tiny tuesday – have you ever been THE FIRST at anything?!}

15 Oct

i have never been THE FIRST at anything… at least not to my knowledge…

i mean, i have lots of original photographs i’ve captured… many of which may be the “only” of their kind… but i’ve never really been the FIRST at anything i’ve done…Β until now.

i am the first and only person to live in thisΒ new mini home. Β now, i’m not fortunate enough to own this lovely home, but i am the first person to officially reside in it – on gorgeous private property with a river in my backyard and endless hills surrounding every corner. Β it feels pretty incredible to be the first person to live here. Β i’m grateful to have met the builder last year… we remained in contact and he updated me on the home this summer, when it was just about complete. Β everything sort of fell into place, guiding me to these hills and to this home. Β i’m taking it all one day at a time and just soaking up each gloriously relaxing moment in my new environment…Β and one thing i love about living here – I SLEEP SO GREAT!

when i wrote about my visit in september was when i fell in love and knew i had to follow my heart to the rocky mountains…

here are some detail shots of some of my favourite features inside this amazing home.

{tiny-home tuesday : the interior}

17 Sep

last week i introduced you to the cutest tiny-home ever.

this delightful minimalist house isn’t quite complete – a few final touches are still in the works from the amazing builder… but as promised, here are some fotos of the interior. Β and i will share more soon, and even more down the road… when it’s fully complete and decorated inside!

{foto friday – minimalist lifestyle : the cutest tiny home ever.}

13 Sep

i love a minimalist lifestyle.

ever since i sold all my stuff and moved to NYC in 2008, the idea of a minimalist lifestyle started to appeal to me more and more. Β as years have progressed, i’ve found myself actually downsizing even more. Β it’s very liberating to be able to fit everything you own into a 5-piece suitcase set and the back of your subaru.

πŸ™‚

i’ll have a story to tell soon behind this little house… for now, i just want to share the fotos of where i stayed on vacation last weekend on the beautiful western slope of the rocky mountains. this home sits on private property with the roaring hills steps away, as its backyard. Β i am not certain of the square footage, but it i’m guessing it’s around 300, including the loft. Β the living space is maybe 200 square-feet? Β but it is so well-designed, one still feels open within the space. Β plus, all you have to do is open the door and you’re in the biggest open-space ever… πŸ˜€
