Renovating a home is difficult. PERIOD! Renovating while trying to do eco friendly home renovations? Yeah, that makes a hard journey even harder.
When we first went into our home renovation journey, I wasn’t super concerned with being eco friendly. I loved the earth, obviously, but I was more concerned at that time with saving money. I had just spent a 🍑-load on a house! And I didn’t need to spend more than I had to on a renovation! Luckily, saving money and sustainability can go hand-in-hand.
Here’s a eco friendly, budget friendly tips I’ve learned in my over 10 years (!!!) experience in home renovating. (Yes, I’m counting the Airstream as home renovations because it was my home!)

As someone who has lived in 188 square feet, those tiny house TV shows really grind my gears. Let’s all be honest: yes, living in a tiny house can greatly improve your life and your finances. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows like those TV shows make it out to be. Tiny house problems definitely exist and you should know the reality before you get into the lifestyle. So today I’m spilling the tea and revealing five things no one tells you about living in a tiny house.
I believe it was the designer, Jonathan Adler that said if he was designing a room on the sun, he’d still put lighting on it. And that has stuck with me. Lighting is incredibly important to the ambiance, feel and style of the home. It’s truly the functional jewelry of your home!
I’m no Jonathan Adler, but I’ve learned a few thing about lighting a small space, ‘cuz it ain’t easy! You’d think it was no problem. A small space only needs a few lights, right? Well, yes and no. I’ve made the mistake of choosing lighting that wasn’t bright enough, was too small and was poorly made. Here’s what I’ve learned about choosing lighting for a small space. Continue reading
I’m all about buying vintage or used items whenever possible, but the reality is, sometimes it’s just not possible. Sometimes you have to invest in a new piece. And when that happens, you might as well get something while it’s on sale. Am I right?!
Here’s a few of the best home goods sales happening this Independence Day weekend. Continue reading

Most Americans live in houses that are too big. In 2014, the average size of a home built was 2,600 square feet. That’s too big. Period. We don’t need so much stuff and we don’t need a bigger place to house it all. There is magic in small spaces. Small spaces open you up to more opportunities and give you a place to breathe. Check out my favorite BIG reasons to live in a small home below. Continue reading

Hey ya’ll, first things first. I want to thank anyone and everyone who has supported me by ordering a camper enamel pin. I was nervous about launching a product, but I’ve got some great feedback from it. It also encourages me to keep growing and I love that. I’ve still got some pins in the shop, so if you were on the fence, get ’em while they’re hot!
Today I’m collaborating with fellow tiny-houser, Leah Nixon to talk about tiny house kitchen design tips. We both love to cook and cooking in our tiny kitchens has been a fun challenge. Take it away, Leah!
