I was think that even though I haven't been working on the tiny house it's good for me to keep my blog udated but what to write about today. Then I remembered the inspiration file.
Just this past week I have seen in two separate locations filing cabinets for free on the curb side. We had a big tall one long ago that we painted pink. I was more then happy to get rid of that big tank..... well maybe not.... after all my junk may have become someone's treasure.
This before and after on Design Sponge is a perfect example of turning someone's cast off into a treasure... well done!

The idea of building with used shipping container's really intrigues me.
Quite often I drive by the loading docks where the containers are and I find myself dreaming up designs for a container home.
I can't remember where I found this post but I love this container that functions as a guest house or would make a great art studio!

I seem to start dreaming of a new project before I even finish the last one. Needless to say I have a lot of unfinished projects around here.
Having said that I came across this cute little make shift green house on Design Sponge.
I like this plan but I'm thinking bigger.... uh oh

It has been crazy times these days with going back and forth to the hospital but as of yesterday my mom is now at home and trying to adjust. Even though she has only been in her apartment for a day and a half she is doing remarkably well. It seems to me she could make a full recovery from her stroke.... on wards and up wards
Needless to say the tiny house has been totally neglected to the point that this lovely buffet I received for my birthday yesterday has been sitting in there for 3 days. I must have walked by the tiny house 20 times over those 3 days.
Wow was I surprised! I've had my eye on this buffet for a while.... I knew it would fit perfect and the mirror beside it will hang just above it. Thank you family, I love it!
Now to get working on TTH!

I found this picture this morning when I was doing some house cleaning in my aperture application.
It's funny to see how I was visualizing the tiny house. The way it looks now I'm not to far off.

It has been raining on and off for awhile now..... it is Vancouver after all.
There has been some leakage at the bottom inside of the door so I really need to get back to work on the tiny house before it gets any worse.
I thought there was mold under the vapour barrier but it turns out it was just a bit of loose insulation. Never the less this dampness needs tending to.
Toooo many things to do!
