There is nothing more satisfying than bringing a vision, and a dream, to life. I wanted my rig to look like a cute, cozy cottage; for it to be bursting with colour and life and to be truly reflect how I live. The front part of the rig, which encompasses the entrance, the kitchen, and what is now the library has come together just as I had hoped it would. This space is perfect and I cannot wait to start enjoying it!<\/p>\n

First, the entrance stairwell. Before, it looked smashing… until it started to get water damage and serious abuse:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I used what I had on hand to make it more functional:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The back piece is a panel that I can pull out to access the water pump. It’s made of a piece of styrofoam, for extra insulation.<\/p>\n

This is what the front part of the rig looked like at purchase:<\/p>\n

dinette and lounge would become the library<\/p><\/div>\n

and the kitchen:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And now:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

(just need to recover the chair this spring!)<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

landing strip and entrance hook for purse and coat<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

one of several cabinets filled with books \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>

more books; so it’s not silly to call this space the library! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

painted cabinets with pulls<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

space tailor-made for the carpet cleaner<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

over fridge cabinet now has a pull (horizontal to match the original screw holes)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

lovely and functional kitchen<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

loft is hidden<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

but still fits in when the curtains are open<\/p><\/div>\n

Just as I was writing up this post, Donna came for a chat. She perched on the kitchen stool and I sacked out on the lounge chair and I rediscovered a more ‘normal’ way to live. \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
