Small Spaces

Hello on this Cool Refreshing Saturday

I have been walking down memory lane

*ok more like forget that cause it was in the past Sigh*

In 2009 I started this blog living Here

That is right living in our travel trailer

Which we had already spent close to two years living in!

And I have to confess sometimes I miss it

Yes you heard that right !!

Small spaces, it makes you learn what you can survive without

And trust me when I say that is a bunch of stuff

We moved that travel trailer you can see it by the tree

to clear a spot for our larger *well ok maybe a little bigger*

640 square foot home, to some it may be just a mobile home

But hey to me it is our mansion, And yes I am still living with less!!

We removed that old leaky carport 

and added 

a building for hubby to house his things

We built a carport on the side of it

And look, you can see on the left side our Travel Trailer now

sets over there, we hope to eventually build a carport on the other side 

of his building to cover it

There are two large slides on one side of our travel trailer 

that are RUINED !!! yes it needs to go to the repair place :(

I am attempting to convince hubby to do that so that I can go

out the fence gate and use it as a studio instead of my building??

Excuse the trailer sitting here, he just traded for it and will be

completely redoing it into a nice trailer 

this tiny little Red House took the place of our travel trailer

this was shortly after it arrived on our lots at this Lake

Many things have changed since then

Many still yet to come, we always have plans and 

things in the works to improve it 

Well look at that, forget to pick up the hose ?

And the photo even comes complete with 

Miss Rango in it *Smile*

Shelby must of been inside?

Our fence and deck need to be stained this year

yes one of those many things we have neglected this summer

Wow the years have past many things have changed

Why this post...........well I have been redoing everything

inside this Huge tiny home, just to house my never ending

creative side :) 

And gee has that part of life taken on many changes

in these years..............the gosh awful HEAVY metal 

shelves with glass fronts (old store displays)

they now reside in hubbies building ! 

When I started I had so much crammed into my bedroom

I could barely turn around in there!!

My little 10 x 20 building that has yet to get it's sand colored paint 

job with cedar stained shutters

has yet to become my studio?? and it is once again packed full of

stuff, so it is not a job I want to start

surely the Oklahoma Heat will return after this cool spell and

I do not want to be out working in it, hopefully this fall we 

can tackle that job !! At least so I can use it for storing 

supplies in?

The past two holiday seasons were a mad house for me

working on retail as well as wholesale orders !!

When you have limited space you learn how to live with it !!

It was a never ending battle and due to spending the past

Five years creating in tiny areas, We never got to sit at the table

to eat a meal, Hubby always with a TV tray and me in front of my

computer !!!!!

Well recently we changed things up

* thus the injury, I am healing and feel great, not completely :) *

But I am getting there

Let me share with you our HUGE floorplan

That is correct, there you have it !!

Simple as it may seem it is HUGE to me

And warm and inviting and comfy and cozy

YES we are blessed !!!!

Now our living room since it houses three recliners and 

a BIG entertainer center I figured hey why not use all the

floor space I can *smile*

So we moved me in a desk, dang this thing is heavy it is solid wood!

You see all those labels !! I can now find everything !! It is Awesome

Want a close up?

click on the pictures !!!

I would love to paint all my paper mache boxes to match

But Matching is not what is important

it is utilizing everything to make it function properly 

I have a small work area for my table now just to do

finishing touches on items

And trust me when I say every inch of counter space I have

is used every day to stain, paint, and dry things !!

Oh did I mention I have tons of totes in my building

and a few stuck in the travel trailer

most I could not get to if I wanted to

Yes there are items I could use and really need

but again I have been doing without them since December

so apparently I can still do that for now :)

A small table top ironing board frees up floor space

I mean gee I have so much of that to use?? NOT

Just noticed that I need a pepper shaker LOL

But you see that looky there!! Now one end of my table is

easily cleared to sit down to eat a meal

Our life would not be normal if we were not looking at or

sharing space with craft stuff, Hubby does not mind

It just feels good to sit at a real table to dine !!

Well he just called he is on his way home from work

Time for me to move that fabric and fix a late lunch!

I will leave you with my droopy Elephant Ears

It rained hard all day yesterday and they are 

wanting some sunshine to perk them up :)

I am Sewing and Sewing, new things soon to share

Hope you have a wonderful weekend
