Kai and Sheila are building a tiny house they plan to live in when they back from a little bike trip – around the world!
To lighten their load they are selling and giving away most of their possessions. A long time reader of Tiny House Design, Eva, tipped me off to this story and book giveaway. One of the items they are giving away is a copy of Little House on a Small Planet: Simple Homes, Cozy Retreats, and Energy Efficient Possibilities by Shay Solomon (Photographs by Nigel Valdez). Enter for a chance to win on their website 2 cycle 2 gether.
Below is a short video showing the progress they’ve made on their tiny house. When complete it will be about 180 square feet and will include a kitchen, bathroom, living room, sleeping loft, and a small porch.
Kai and Sheila, Can’t wait to follow your world bike tour online! Good l
If you’ve never left your heart in San Francisco, now’s your chance! Works from artist Wendy Schwartz are on display in the Thos. Moser San Fran showroom and we predict you’ll fall in love with her winsome compositions. We’re so convinced we’re having an artist reception on June 2nd from 4 until 7 p.m. to celebrate the works of the talented painter, which will be on view through June 19th. If you’re in town, please stop in for a peaceful pause, an unavoidable circumstance of seeing the artist’s serene compositions. Schwartz lives and paints on the edge of Tomales Bay, her studio sandwiched between its tidal marsh and the road. Most of her oil paintings are western landscapes, which sometimes include structures. The palette is mostly subdued, vivid colors are used sparingly. The artist rec Full Post…
During Blogfest 2011, Hilarie had the opportunity to explore many showrooms at the New York Design Center! First to visit was Atelier, which was an assortment of sleek, innovative, and contemporary designs.
Next – the Palecek showroom expressed their effortless ability to mix and weave natural fibers into unique statement pieces. Palecek’s ex
Huge thanks to everyone who commented in the DuPont WeedFree Premium Landscape Fabric Giveaway and gave me great tips on weeding and favorite flowers. I was inspired enough to get my vegetable garden going in a few spare minutes last weekend.
And the winner of a roll of the WeedFree Landscape fabric plus a $100 gift card to Lowe’s is…
Commenter #4, Leah Marie from Behind the Stone Wall!
Wow…favorite garden plant?! How do I pick just one? Tomatoes, green peppers, and watermelons all rank a 10 on my list! YUMMY!
Leah, I hope you’ll share pictures of your mini Landscape makeover.
Also, I have to give a shout out to some of my favorite weeding tips from the bunch.
Dave – because this one had me laughing for days, and then became scarily ironic since someone offered me a couple of pygmy goats this week…
Buy a goat and tie it out on a rope and let it do it’s thing. Goat on a rope
Smells like summer, I just stumble on the work of interior designer Alexandra Angle and this bright and colorful Fire Island beach house that she wonderfully decorated.
The questions started a few months ago when my tool buddy at my local Lowe’s asked me what was up with his Kobalt line, everything was marked for clearance. Some of his customers were asking if Lowes was dropping its line of tools. Well rest assured that is not the case. It wasn’t long before an invite to come to Charlotte for an important Kobalt announcement was in my my inbox, but until last week’s media event I didn’t have an answer.
The invitation said we would be meeting at Hendricks Motorsports Facility and for any race fan that is the equivalent of being asked to have a sit down with the Dalai Lama for those of the Buddhist persuasion, so off I went. I credit the Kobalt Team with allowing us to see the assessment of its tools by the Hendricks team members. To say the team members were brutally honest would be an understatement. But instead o
Every once in a while, we enjoy tossing out a good challenge to those who are new at cutting a swath in design. What better venue to host said task than a college like the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM)? Ten class members from the Interior Design program at the Los Angeles and San Francisco campuses participated in our design challenge charging them with creating an original piece of furniture in the Moser style, one which would complement our Lolling chair. The Design Committee Awards for the “New Sidekick for the Moser Lolling Chair” were given to San Francisco student Meghan Carozza and Los Angeles student Maelee Lungren, who is pictured above. FIDM will fly the two young designers to Maine to meet with our cabinetmakers and to take a workshop tour. San Full Post…
