TINY HOUSE
I should purchase stock in Kleenex®️ based on the excessive drooling that’s taken place since Tiny House Nation found its way to FYI. Watching others build their tiny retreats spurred on my own dreams of one day having a tiny retreat hang off the side of a mountain.
Fast forward five years and here we are! Okay, so we’re not hanging off the side of a mountain but we do have a beautiful view of Glassy Mountain in the Carolina foothills. And while we’re not living in ours like many brave (and debt-free) souls, a lot of work will be done within the 9′ x 16′ space. My tiny house will host an 8′ desk with an expansive window facing the mountains, along with a couple of other unique features.

Tiny House Tuesday // Steps, Shiplap, and A Hidden Bookcase, Oh My!
Do you see it? Squinting may be required but the end of our building journey is in sight. Somebody pinch me. Brian continues to work tirelessly to finish the tiny house because he loves me, but also because he believes God has His own plans for glory through the writing, shared community, and joy that will take place within this 144 square foot space.

Tiny House Tuesday // When Two Littles Love a Little Loft
The littles love their tiny loft, and maybe the reading nook too. When Sarah, my daughter-in-law, created these signs last summer I never imagined it would be over a year before two of our six grandchildren had a place to hold them up. Though the nook and loft are...
Tiny House Tuesday // Our Choice Will Floor You
Okay, maybe our choice of flooring isn't that surprising but it surprised me. For over a year, I read magazines and pinned every floor that caught my eye, but this one never made it to the board. It all began on a whim when we decided to "run in" to Liquid...
Tiny House Tuesday // A Shield for All Seasons
I didn't want insulation used in the tiny ceilings. It cost more in both time and money, and studios shown on Pinterest didn't use it (hello, white-washed beams). Need I say more? *wink* But my husband, being the wise steward that he is, insisted. The hours...
Tiny House Tuesday // Finding Ideas in a Magazine + Starbucks Giveaway
With the interior work just around the tiny bend, my abstract ideas need to harden like concrete. For instance, there will be the eight-foot-long desk but we've not yet decided on the materials. There will be walls, but will they be planked or smooth? And the...
Tiny House Tuesday // A Red Door No More
Sometimes things don't turn out as expected. One morning on the way to our now second home, Lowes, I asked, “Can we brainstorm some ideas for a tiny house name?” (Here in the South we name everything—RVs, cars, property, and tiny houses. It gives us the opportunity...
Tiny House Tuesday // Goodbye Exterior, Hello Interior!
He tried to warn me. Over a year ago, while stringing stakes and leveling blocks, Brian dropped this little love bomb: You won't believe how many things we'll need to do before this tiny house is finished. It's going to be a long process, possibly a year. Bless his...
Tiny House Tuesday // Building an Ark
I love the idea of having a house by the lake⏤just not a tiny house. When we chose the place where she'd perch, we took a lot into consideration⏤which direction to face, what views not to block, and how to prevent our galvanized roof from blinding our only...
Tiny House Tuesday // A Tale of Two Gothic Windows
At least that's how the story began. Last April, before May floods meandered their way over the Swannanoa banks, we headed to the Antique Tobacco Barn in Asheville NC, in search of a Gothic window. We explored aisles of primitive ladders, glass knobs, and bird egg...

The last Reading Nook pic was prior to painting.

Enter Snow Ballet by Kelly- Moore Paints! I plan to paint the pendant shades the same color. Every {tiny} house needs a pop of color, right?
⠀⠀
Though not the same color, this paint reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen, which can’t help but make me ☺️. And she always said (while twisting her lipstick tube heavenward), “Every woman needs a pop of color” - so there you have it! #done
