"My Tiny Perch" in The Woods

Mere words cannot truly describe how satisfying it feels to design and build homes,

 using only the ideas I have in my head.

And "PROUD" does not adequately convey my feelings toward my 

newest, 

little, 

yellow,

18-1/2 foot long tiny house on wheels.

What I have created with a pencil, and a ruler, and a piece of graph paper;
is now standing, in literal living color.

The galley kitchen is so bright, and so lovely, that surely all who visit will never forget it!

Even the tiny cedar lined bathroom is filled with color, light, and character.

Architectural simplicity and good coffee (or course!) is the order of the day.

Since there are no lofts or ladders, every thing and every room is easy to access.

Creating an inviting and approachable space, with only 148 square feet to work with, required a lot of wine and creative thinking.

And where to put the wine glasses was at the top of the list of problems to solve.

Affordable living goals were met, by sticking closely to our $20,000 build budget.

And our goal to make the space SUPER efficient, was met as well!
(Luckily, we have LOTS of wall space.)

Sometimes, however, wall space just won't do.

So, I utilized somewhat "hidden" and creative storage options to perfectly fill the gaps.

How to decorate the tiny house wasn't the only consideration.
Nestling the house, amongst the trees, was the key to setting the mood for the inside AND the outside.

(Although having such bright and cheerful cabinets also certainly helped!)

And here's the BEST PART!

If you would like to stay in My Tiny Perch it is now listed on Tryittiny.com (listing #604) 

as well as AirBnB!  

The past 10 months have flown by, and deadlines were missed.

And, the control freak in me, has lost control more than a few times.

Thankfully, our sponsors hung in there and never doubted that we would cross the finish line with an artfully designed tiny house on wheels that would make them PROUD as well.

                            Thank you, everyone, for your support, 
                                             your enthusiasm, 
                                                      and for understanding my vision; 
                                                                     even when I failed to recognize it myself.

And thank you again to Mark Sharley, my Co-Builder and Partner in Life.  

I couldn't ask for a better framer, photographer, advice giver, standards holder, and overall great guy.
