YAY... it's blog time!! apologies in advance for the photo overload!Well the last 2 weeks have fairly flown by and we have been very busy and have achieved a lot! We are very much enjoying living in our "tiny house" and in fact it isn't that tiny!
We are almost completely unpacked and the spaces are perfect, our furniture fits really well, we were concerned it would be a bit cramped but it's actually the opposite, it's almost as if we had measured each piece of furniture and built to spec. Me M is organized but not that organized!
The kitchen/dining room/utility space...
Living room complete with the comfiest sofa in the world!
My office space...
The bedroom...
And finally the littlest room in the house...
Mr M has spent most of the last 2 weeks working on our storage solutions! We do have a storage space above the bathroom! For all those "things" you need, but you don't need right now!
But what about all that other stuff!
First things first was our bedroom closet, turned out pretty amazing and cost us $16 (bargain!)
Curtains were from our last house, save us having to make doors! and the top is perfect for storing bags with our extra clothes.... y'know those things you might fit into again one day!
We used the off cuts of cedar from our cedar fencing and raised beds to box in our bedroom storage solution!
Then he put the shelves into our airing cupboard, I was able to then get everything unpacked and put away..
Next up was some additional kitchen storage, overhead cupboard above the fridge..
We also came up with an ingenious idea for our additional dining chairs - may as well use the upper eaves for something...
Whilst he was up there he fitted some ceiling fans..... these are a great addition!
He also fitted curtain rails, after pricing everything up we went with eyelets and conduit! work like a charm! Curtains I have made for our last house are perfect for these windows! I have been getting reacquainted with my sewing machine and I am making some additional curtain "doors" for our bedroom, bathroom and airing cupboard! A less expensive option to actual doors, we have the most amazing quilting shop in town, so I went down and had a rummage through their end of line stock! 70% off, can't complain about that!
This week Mr M will be working on our kitchen cupboard doors, we are all unpacked bar 3 boxes that are in front of one of the cupboards, they are protecting the doglets food! no door = no food!
We have had some spectacular weather over the last few weeks and it would be a shame to just be working....
I have managed to get all of my raised beds completed and now we just await the results..
I have 8 potato bins this year, my triangle beds are planted with Nasturtiums and Sweet Williams and I have turnips, beets and parsnips coming up. Peas are in, but still waiting for them to make an appearance, but we have been eating our lettuce mix for a few weeks now! nomnomnom!
Another week or so and my greenhouse will be a bit more empty, my corgettes (zuchinni's) are getting huge and need to be rehomed to their bed!'
Cucumbers, tomatoes and my very slow germinating peppers will all be filling the greenhouse...
Keeping up with the flora topic we are covered everywhere with Iris's, the ditch all along the front of our property is full of them, so so pretty!
There are wildflowers all over.. anyone able to identify!
Finally the BIG news is that sadly Bunty Chokin passed onto feather heaven Thankfully via natural causes! So we had a funeral and then the next day went out and brought 2 new chicks and 2 ducklings!
Welcome Fred & George (after the ginger Weasley twins in Harry Potter) and Dippy & Dozy Duck!
We have had them less than 2 weeks, Dippy (yellow duck) has at least doubled in size, I swear she is going to take over the world.... we aren't 100% sure what the ducklings are, but thinking Pekin and a Khaki Campbell. They are in a big plastic container under a heat lamp during the night but during the day we are getting them outside as much as possible... So entertaining and So cute!!
See you in 2 weeks folks! Quack Quack!!
