New picture in the bedroom

 I am really happy that the feng shui of the house has taken another leap!

We bought this picture from a local artist named Clio. She told the story of how it came into matter. She was about to a manifestation in the UK related with peace on earth. But her and her partner diced that the best service to this would be trough art and not from anger. After coming to her studio, she painted this in a huge fabric!

Very beautiful!

It lives now in our bedroom.

Evenings in the Tiny House

 

Finished curtains

 There were only missing the white inside curtains in the bedroom, and here they are now!

Very easily done, with the fabric that once belonged to dancers in our wedding day, I just created a folded edge so I could put a string made of rubber and metal (esticador) and attached it to the edges of the windows with a small metal attachment (camarão).

With this full moon, no light is entering in the bedroom. Now the windows are complete!

“Habemos” curtains!

 So happy to say that the copper curtains are up in the bedroom and the Bordeaux curtain is up in the electrical area.

This means that in full moon nights me and David  sleep so much better (and we did last night!) and that Mateus sleeps without small lights from the power system in his face as well!

Happy family over  here!

I used old curtains from my house in Porto and transformed them. Basically divided them in a way that they would feet our windows in the loft.

This is the bottom part the fabric, so I transformed it in a different way. One side of the bedroom looks a bit different from the it but they both look gorgeous.

Spent all afternoon yesterday sewing,  very happily!

Curtain rails

 While the rain doesn’t stop falling, we keep working on the inside of the Tiny House.

For now, and so much necessary, the curtain rails are being done.

The one for my side of the bedroom, another one to stop the lights at night and preventing Mateus of not having a good sleep, one for the main door, so the cold doesn’t come in and one for the bathroom area until we don’t have a door.

All the wood comes from the land and it’s chestnut.

Preparing for the curtains

 We call this “esticador” in Portuguese.

Very simple and practical for small curtains.

We are going to use this in the storage loft and in the bedroom. In the bedroom we are going to have to sets of curtains: a thin white fabric that came from our wedding ceremony (a good memory from a beautiful day) and a thicker fabric with wood curtain rails.

Looking forward for these new curtains!

Window frames in the bedroom

In our bedroom, the window frames are being finished.

David took them all out, sanded them and painted them with wood treatment varnish. 

In the meantime, we took out all the cobwebs from this area (stagnant energy, old, in these corners is not good mojo) and soon we are going to have the curtain rails and the curtains.

So far, we have been living/sleeping with the bright full moon in our faces (specially on my side!) but that is about to change!

Looking at it now

 Looking at our tiny house with so much gratitude.

Every little thing is precious.

It may look untidy (because it is!), but it’s worth every single day to just look and appreciate this house of ours.

Small details in the bedroom

 A new very tiny shelf for two companions that I brought from India and a beautiful macramé from a friend called Dinamene.

A bit of today and some pictures of other days

It has been a pleasure to live and to work in the house.

It is so big, at least for me, as we have been living in very tiny places together. So, just the fact that I can lay the yoga mat on the floor and have space to do all the poses it's quite something! And of of these days, I even had the company of litle I., in her small mat.

Curtains on the making today. These were taken few weeks before: measurements for the curtains and the first picture I sent it to David so he could brainstorm with me - long or short curtain?

 Lunch time was like this before, small table for me and friends:

 But now, the game changed! AH! We can actually eat at the table! Amazing Glen, the carpenter, a friend of ours made it. 

 

 Did I say already that Lara and Missanga have been enjoying the Tiny House so much? right at this moment, they are here, on the sofa with me, fighting some flys, but enjoyinh the sun.

 And I continue to watch our natural TV:

Do you remember the wine boxes that I showed you yesterday? Well, with one of them I made something to surprise David, since he is in India and coming back next week. Because he loves coffee, we talked about creating a small coffee "altar" or special place. And I did it! With some mistakes in the midle, like putting the box up instead of lying down! I got completely disctracted I guess! I was taking care of I. on that day, maybe that's why :-). But, no problem at all, as I could put it the other way around. The thing is that I have to small holes on the wall. What to do with them? Is there something that we can cover them with, like a paste?

These pots were giving to me by a couple of dear friends, Lotte and Floris. The pots are made in Portugal and I am planning on doing some macramé hanger to put them in the living room area, next to the green lamps. Stay tuned!

I went to Tábua, to Supermaco, to buy some metal pieces so I can put the curtains in place. As you can see, the original color was golden, but, with the paint that I used in the bedroom mandala, I painted them, so everything matches! It looks perfect and they are on the walls already. 

 

 I started the day today by painting whit white spray the old steps from the BUS:

That's it for today. Hope today I can finish the curtains and I'll show you then what I used for the curtain rails.

Wish you all a lovelly day.
