To court
We have a date for the hearing: on Tuesday April 24th at 9.15 a.m., the request for immediate suspension of the environmental permit for the Tiny House pilot at the Helderseweg 28, issued by the water board Hollands Noorderkwartier, will be treated. It will be a public hearing, so we ask our sympathisers to come […]
A bittersweet day
Last Thursday the Tiny House of Marloes came to Alkmaar! After two years of investing blood, sweat and tears, with most of the time going one step forward and two steps back, deliberating and navigating between all parties involved, we finally got there. We were absolutely thrilled! Sadly enough, that same day came with bitter […]
Online course: Your Tiny House – from dream to reality!
Starting November 2016, Monique van Orden and I have been hosting the workshop ‘Realize your own Tiny House’ for groups of about 20 people. The workshops took place all throughout the country and were a huge success: full groups, waiting lists and positive feedback were the norm. We noticed that there’s a big need for […]
Media Medley
It’s been a little quiet for a while; I wasn’t having three interviews and photo-sessions a week anymore. I didn’t mind at all though; it was a lot to handle this last year. I love doing it, but it shouldn’t become a 24/7 thing, if you know what I mean. But hey, it also makes […]
New new new!
Woohoo! After weeks and weeks of hard work, finally today my new website is online! Until now I did everything for the website by myself – you can come a long way with WordPress. But it was time to take the website to the next level and I asked David Web & Media to help me […]
Doing the laundry at the gas station
For the past couple of months, I’ve done a lot of my laundry at my friend Jennifer’s house, and sometimes I took a shower there as well when my water pipe got frozen. My dear mother also received a few loads of dirty laundry, in which case I would get it back cleaned and ironed. […]
Tiny Living: nice and quiet?
Um. Wasn’t more time and more peace one of the reasons for living in a Tiny House? You wouldn’t say that now. I’ve started working for myself full-time since November 1st, and as a start-up you need to invest a lot of time in your business. Lately I’ve been working just about 7 days a […]
Eek! Mold!
I guess by writing this blog I’m taking a chance that I will get a lot of criticism for not doing things right. Too bad, I never said I was perfect. But I want to write about this because I think I can help others to not make the same mistake. And how bad is […]
A new streetscape in Hardegarijp
On January 2nd, I paid a visit to Mill Home in the beautiful village of Mill, Noord-Brabant. I’ve known Gerard Dijkstra of Mill Home for a while; he’s a super likable man who heartily supports the Tiny House movement and philosophy. Every now and then we call each other to catch up on how both […]
