The Mess... The Beginning of Putting It Together

By Coreyamaro

Old French homes do not have anything built in: No cupboards, or closets, or shelves. This tiny house had three rooms, one sink and light bulbs hanging from wires. Period.

We started buying furniture that could fit through the door that is 22 inches x 66 inches and stariwells that don't allow much turning space. Carrying the double wide mattress was worthy of a TV show.

I lost two pounds. Call it the tiny house diet.

The gathered stuff is piled everywhere, making the space smaller to work in let alone move.

Cranberry colored cabient we found for 120 Euros. Originally I was going to paint it... but the color is growing on me.

The cabinet matches the old tile floor. My friend's son Arnaud is helping to. Such a sport. He is studying law, though I told him to win a woman's heart you gotta be a handy man too. Of course that is a total projecting my own laws about romance.

Other things found, collected, borrowed... for the little house. 

Old armchair... 39 Euros!

Side table 15 Euros.

Large needlepoint study I am lending to the project.

We have our work cut out for us.

Everything to do.

A shell and a tight budget.

I love it!

More to come. Now I am off to cook dinner for the crew.
