  • I’m stuck inside on these sunny days but suddenly this is a collective project and progress is flying along. Tiny deck soon to be installed! 😍 Photo credit @gill.read.5 #deckdesign #tinyhousedeck #autumnafternoon #diy #deck #collaboration
  • Found this copper kettle a while ago and have been waiting for a chance to test it out 🔥What better time than a snuggly night by the fire? Now that most of our belongings are in our own big house, it’s time to start hunting down a few key pieces to get this tiny ready for visitors. Op shops - here I come! #fireside #nectrefireplaces #snugglingbythefire #buynothingnew #opshopfinds
  • The work week is done and we’re getting away to our first home for the weekend - back to the tiny! I’m still working my way through the photos and videos of our moving day, looking back it still feels surreal. Clearly I need to get busy and write a blog post about the whole day! #tinyhouse #relocating #reflections #tinyhouseonwheels
  • #tbt Calm before the storm - this time two weeks ago we had just one day left of hustle before the tiny tested her tires on the road. Looking forward to heading out to the farm this weekend for some quality time spent on some finishing touches! The things that never get done once the basics are covered and life barrels on. #tinyhousebuild #womenwhobuild #finishingtouches #tuesdaymotivation
  • What a turn out for the climate strike outside the @russellbroadbentmp office in Warragul today! People travelled from all over Gippsland to show we are ready for meaningful action on climate change. With just a few weeks left until the election, we have no time to waste. To all those who tooted, waved and chanted along as we marched down the Main Street in Warragul, please join us next time. Our voice is getting louder but we need all the help we can get. To those of you who know we are facing a problem but aren’t yet taking action, now is the time. Take the plunge. No one is coming to save us, you are the only one who can make a difference. To our politicians, I hope you’re listening. Thanks to today’s organisers and @bawbawsustainabilitynetwork for making this happen. When’s the next one? #climatestrike #extinctionrebellion #climatechange #gippsland
  • A lazy morning soaking up the peaceful sunny vibes 💕
  • After all of the morning’s excitement, we’ve had a lovely afternoon to unwind a little and to appreciate the Tiny’s new home. Check out that view! 💕 #tinyhouseonthemove #arrivedsafely #tinyhouse #gippsland #farmingcountry #peaceandquiet
  • Almost like it was built to move! It looks great on the road, grateful for her expert frame and foundation @tom_coupe_carpentry 👌🏻 #tinyonthemove #mobiletinyhome #highwaycruising #relocating
