I seem to be spending a lot of time these days checking out
'tiny home' blogs and reading up on how to make a tiny dwelling feel bigger. I know that hanging mirrors tend to help a bit so I will find a nice, big horizontal mirror for one wall. I also plan to have shelves wherever I can fit them in to look nice and be useful. Making sure our furniture fits right is very important. No large, bulky items will be brought here. We will bring the smaller pieces and leave the larger ones for later when the house is built. We are trading our dining-room table and chairs for our daughter's smaller set to use for everyday. Any other suggestions for living in tiny spaces?
The apt. is 600sq. ft. above a two-car garage.
We enjoyed a yummy breakfast out in the little town of Manotick this morning. I do believe this will become one of our regular jaunts. The food is great.
Just as I was thinking it would be nice to entice lots of chickadees to the feeders look who shows up.
I filled all the feeders on the property and added a nice, juicy apple to the apple house. I know that the blue-jays love this but I'm not sure if blue-jays even come here. It will be interesting to see what 'regulars' use the drive-thru. My favorite, the chickadee, already visits regularly.
Here is where the main house will be built in the future.
I'm standing where the house will be attached to the garage thru a breeze-way.
We have the shingles on now. Honestly, I can't believe that I get excited over shingles...but I do. It used to be new shoes or a fine piece of pottery. What the heck has happened to me?
Now I'm dreaming of a drive-way.
I took
Kane for a walk when we got home. It's sunny but there is a bone-chilling wind. Our Eastern provinces are in the middle of a snow-storm right now.
I think it may be time to get out the winter coat soon.
Kane wore his today.
I'm off to cat-sit.
Stay toasty,
Deb
