  • Does downsizing have a downside? Yes! (wink)

    Posted on 24 January 2017 by Frieda Bakker in Downsizing, Tiny Living.

    Seriously, I mean, not having clutter feels very free and downsizing is liberating. But a few years down the row there are some things that keeps rearing its ugly head, as a result of the downsizing. And it makes me laugh. It truly is because of that and it doesn’t seem to change either. I’m […]

  • Passed the tiny house station called ‘home’ – an update

    Posted on 9 January 2017 by Frieda Bakker in Blog, News, Tiny Living.

    Something’s changed. I used to think of my previous average sized home as a nice, secure place, and a safe haven. Like the shell of a turtle. But it was also too big, a burden, and at the end too expensive for what I really needed. The tiny home as a first home came into […]

  • A Long Way Round

    Posted on 4 January 2017 by Frieda Bakker in Blog, Tiny Living.

    I’m staring into nothing. I’m fed up with it. What do I do? It’s the summer of 2008. I’m at home, receiving sickness benefit and guidance from the Employee Insurance Agency. It’s time for Frie to be implemented again, back into society. No, no, no, no, no! I don’t want to go back to what […]

  • A Dutch Touch in Tiny House Magazine #38

    Posted on 19 February 2016 by Frieda Bakker in Tiny House Magazine, Uncategorized.

    Again, some attention for the Dutch Tiny House Movement in Tiny House Magazine. It’s almost a small series! This time I wrote about the vibe in the country.

    Yay! Tiny House Magazine is “Going Dutch”. With honor and pride I contributed and told them about the movement in the Netherlands.

And more… Besides my article, […]

  • Butterflies in my stomach

    Posted on 9 December 2015 by Frieda Bakker in Behind the scenes, Blog, News.

    She looks at me with her big and beautiful eyes. My little niece. A small bundle of joy with bouncing curls on her head. Eye lashes so long, they tend to tangle up. An Elf. I’m sitting in a chair in the orangerie of my parents and she places her little hands on my belly. […]

  • The Initial Phase: What made me want to do it (part 1)

    Posted on 18 November 2015 by Frieda Bakker in Behind the scenes, Tiny Living.

    Prior to the start of my project, I felt very clearly that I also wanted to have a website with a blog. Even well before the actual build of my own Tiny House. The reason? I came across a lot of sites, blogs and other Tiny House initiatives, but I rarely stumbled into writings on that […]

    Posted on 1 September 2015 by Frieda Bakker in My Tiny House Tour USA.

    The idea: meeting people during my visit to the Tiny House Jamboree in Colorado Springs to see if I can visit them in their Tiny Houses on my way back. So… I rented a car. I had a tent in the back of the trunk and a few days ahead of the Jamboree I checked the Tiny […]

  • On my way, all alone ~ My Tiny House Tour USA (2)

    Posted on 4 August 2015 by Frieda Bakker in My Tiny House Tour USA.

    July 29 – August 3 And then the somewhat anxious part of my journey starts: all alone, in my rental car, up North to the Tiny House Jamboree. From El Paso, Texas to Santa Fe, New Mexico to Golden, Colorado via US Highway 285. Driving, driving and more driving. And camping in the wild (yep, […]

  • Land… ~ My Tiny House Tour USA (1)

    Posted on 3 August 2015 by Frieda Bakker in My Tiny House Tour USA.

    July 22 – July 28 54 hours. Fifty four hours. From door to door. A nodding head from time to time in the airplane or the bus, but more than that? No. No sleep. Next: to stumble into a bright, sunny and dry sauna  filled with cacti. A hair dryer, straight into my face. And […]
