Brighten it Up!


Everything's going white and bright! The inside of our Tiny Home is all strandboard, with black lettering on parts of it. So the space felt pretty dark. We don't intend to leave the walls bare forever (famous last words), but until we decide how to cover them, we decided to paint them.

So I enlisted the help of my painter step-son Josh, who managed to put a coat of primer and then paint (Benjamin Moore Cotton Balls - the brightest white they make) on the entire inside in an easy afternoon. It is incredible the difference this makes. It is bright, the walls seem taller, and it appears so spacious now, even though we haven't changed the dimensions at all.

And did I mention that we heated the home with a tiny electric heater that we turned on when we arrived, and although it was below freezing outside, it took only 2 hours to get the temperature up to 20 degrees. Yes, this is one well-sealed little home.
