Ah, the beauty of plants multiplying!
These beauties are spreading more and more.
Beautiful plants and beautiful house with them here.
Having all these plants in the house brings so much to it and to us.
It’s having nature inside that supports the balance of well being.
It’s a joy to take care of them and to be taken care by them.
For David’s birthday and and to respond to his coffee passion, I decided to stitch a coffee cup with a Portuguese popular word. You just ask for a cafézinho when in a coffee shop!
It’s another add in the kitchen area, but still not in the final place!
I loved making this surprise for him.
It always amazes me when I look to the pots and suddenly there is a new something. I call them babies, as there are sprouts coming when one least expects it!
It’s quite amazing and showing me that life keeps moving, that when one cares for the plants they respond back.
I can’t wait to have cuttings from these plants so I can multiple them and have more pots!
Addicted? No, just fascinated by nature!
So happy that we can have plants inside and outside of the house!
This one is “arruda” and it’s the perfect one to have at the entrance!
Happy Spring!
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.
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.
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!
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!
You know when you are in love with some details of some other houses?
Or a dream that you always has since you imagined owning a house?
Well, since always I wanted cups hanging from a shelf. Really! Simple but very much in tune with old traditional Portuguese kitchen cabinets. Since they would be to big to have them here in the Tiny House, we managed to make a dream coming true but slightly different!
I went to the local hardware shop Supermaco (contacts in the contact folder of this website) and bought the hooks (we call the, “camarões” in Portuguese. They only had silver. No problem! 0,10€ each. David painted the, with black spray paint and here they are:
After this, the simple and not so hard work of attaching them to the shelf and to the coffee box.
A small detail that makes such a difference!
This is a postcard from a painting done by Beth Richardson.
A tea moment in the kitchen, in blue, like the kitchen.
Love it!
