Dream House

I have found my dream home. It's small, clean and has a nice view.

My Vintage Year

I know I am crazy.

But I'm also crazy for vintage travel trailers and my birthday is coming up so...

What if a bunch of people gave me a couple of bucks and I could buy this little baby!

Let's get real here. This thing costs $2000. I have officially applied to have this project hosted by Kickstarter.com but that's a bit of a process.

My plan: Buy this trailer and turn it into my craft studio/home if I become homeless for some reason. I would totally remodel the thing, paint it, throw my Queen B Quilts logo up there. It would be amazing.

So, I'm not kidding (please refer yourself here, here, here, andhere. Help me out! You can give me a really great birthday gift and hopefully it will add up to a number that will warrant me buying this cute 1955 Vintage Duggan canned ham. If I don't get at least $1400 from this fundraising effort I will return all of your hard earned money (just make sure your mailing address is correct).

Thanks guys!

Let's See...

Tiny House How-To

NPR is offering some advice on how to get your own Tiny House. Unfortunately I don't live in Vermont, otherwise I might be spending some time learning how to build one of these masterpieces.

I also think I need to check out this web series Tiny Yellow House, specifically because they described it as Wayne's World meets This Old House. Perfect!

I Need A Nap

This might be the best looking and most inviting bed I've ever seen. I love small spaces, especially bedrooms where the bed is crammed in a corner. I also enjoy the messiness of the bedding and the fact that it's right up against a window. Perfect for lazy weekends and people watching.

Relax a While

It's Tuesday and if I wasn't sitting in my office right now, I'd be relaxing on my front porch with a tall cold glass of sparkling lemonade.... since I'm dreaming anyway, I'll just imagine myself on one of these porches. They're so gorgeous!

This Tiny House

My friend Meghan and I spent a great deal of time during our drive to Portland discussing our own version of hippy-ish ideals and simple living. It was all sparked by this VW bus we saw on the road. It had red checked curtains, red trim and even red wheels. I was ready to move in and hit the road!
Yesterday, I spent some time thinking about how I could convert an old Airstream trailer into my home. Today I found something better: tiny houses.
I first saw this story here.

A home on wheels. It could work! Cheap rent. Shower at the gym. Maintain a simple lifestyle. I'm in!

Sweet Coraline

I saw Coraline in 3D last night and I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of it all! Not just mesmerized... inspired! The intricate handmade details in this film alone beg you to see it. Plus it has a good story to go along with it.

So, in case you have that child-like feeling of wanting to just jump right into the movie (like I do) here's some things to help!
