friday fancys | livin' small

It has been well over a month since the last I posted but we have been so busy in the yard! It still looks like shit if that was your next question.. 
We've been growing grass and trying to figure out the layout for landscape in all parts of the yard. I think it is extra hard for us because we are basically starting from scratch. We're slowly realizing we're not landscape designers.. If anyone has an expertise in landscaping - PLEASE contact me ASAP before we get evicted.. We're starting to look like a foreclosure -- again..

Anyways..
HAPPY FRIDAY!

I'm feeling fancy:)

It's been a minute since I did a friday fancys but I think today is a perfect day!

More than anything in the world right now - I want a tiny house. 
That may come to a surprise to most, BUT of course I would have a large shed/barn for all of my furniture and home accessories. 

I have recently become obsessed with "Tiny House, Big Living" on HGTV. There are many shows out now for the tiny house enthusiast, but I lean towards this one because they are regular people actually building and personalizing their tiny homes. The others are usually tiny house hunting, etc. 


After watching 2398472374 episodes of this, I have a few ideas on how I would want my tiny house to look. Of course, mine would be a little larger than the average - I mean my clawfoot tub has to go somewhere.. 

I really like the tiny homes that actually look like miniature homes, not a trailer/RV. Mine would probably have movable furniture as I like to switch things up.. often. 

I also like the amount of personality you can put into your tiny home. I've seen some really creative ways to incorporate extra storage or decor into the space. You could go so many different directions! 



Hubs and I were talking and we thought it would be perfect as a traveling vacation home. We could have all the necessities of a home but we can take it pretty much anywhere! That way I could keep my big house and have my tiny house too:) - You know have my cake and eat it too kinda thing?

It would really force us to go out and explore and enjoy the outdoors a little more. I may park it in my driveway and just hang out in it every once in awhile..



This is just a simple and minimalistic way of living, I envy those who do this as their everyday life.

As an alternative, I could build myself a tree house in my yard OR build a vacation shot gun house much like the one from Fixer Upper last season!





Amazing open floor plan stopping the space from feeling cramped. 




Adorable yet functional loft space for extra storage, sleeping or office space.

Although, I would probably switch the exterior for something more like this: 


*swoon

So who wants to start a tiny house neighborhood with me!?@#

Whoa! | Bathroom REupdate

Well it's been pretty damn long since I've given you guys any good stuff lately. I failed miserably at the OCD challenge last year and for that I am sorry. BUT we are back in action and we have decided to stick with working on one room at a time but not necessarily finish in a month's time. This really allows us to focus on one space and pay attention to every detail and really perfect it.  The first project of the year was the main bathroom. You may be saying "Hey, didn't she already do that one?" . Yes. Yes we did. I am a perfectionist and I knew it needed to be done again. I wasn't happy with the wall color and there were too many unfinished projects in the space. It was somewhat embarrassing when we had guests over and it looked like a Sundance film production office (whatever that looks like, I just made that up) exploded in there. I think it wasn't completed for so long because I was sort of scared to do some of the projects that needed to b...

certains things just belong at home..

The other day my aunt and I were pulling of the driveway about to do some shopping and someone had pulled off onto the side of the road. He waved us down and asked if I owned the house - it feels so good to say "Yes", although I'm a horrible liar and should have said "I will in 20-30 years."  He informed us that he wasn't a creep [which made me think he might just be a creep - just kidding!] and that he lived in the house two owners ago [from 1993-2001-ish]. He said he was unpacking some boxes and came across something he thought should stay with the house and thought I may like it. He saw that we were doing a lot on the house and thought we were doing a really good job - well duh.  He pulled out two nicely framed photos: This is the original home owner! Can you even right now? This was taken over 100 years ago, guys!     I zoomed in so we could go into greater detail. 1. There's a hammock on the porch - I love hammocks!...

Friday Fancys!

Today is the debut for my Friday Fancys post!  Every Friday I want to do a fun post about "Whatever suits my Fancy"! Things that make me happy that I want to talk about that week - anything. Any topic, any subject - anything. I need ideas from all of you to get me through all 52 weeks this year too!  Recently my best friend reintroduced me into alliterations and I thought this would be the perfect place to expose my new found love:) As I mentioned in my New Year post - making routine posts for you to get excited about is one of my 2015 goals. I think it goes without saying that my main passion - among other things - is design and all things creative. You may know that about me, but do you know where I get my main inspiration? Do you know what really makes me tick? What really gives me goosebumps when I see a completed space on TV or in real life? Maybe you don't care, maybe you do - if you don't - you should probably hit that little red x in the left co...
