The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. As you all know, we are starting on a restoration of our 68 Airstream Overlander. Here are some photos of the inside as it was when we brought the trailer home. It is almost all original. The curtains had been replaced, and a laminate floor has been installed. The counters in the kitchen have been painted, and the table area has had some cabinetry removed. Front end - sofa pulls out into a bed. Looking at these...

The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Friday, December 31, 2010. Happy New Year's to all of you, my lovely readers! Here's a roundup of green building materials from one of my favorite sources of green inspiration. re-nest. Labels: building materials roundup. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. I always find the drywall going up to be such an exciting stage. The inner workings of the house are all hidden away, and it becomes so much easier to envision living. And this often aff...

The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Monday, August 6, 2012. Happy BC Day to those of you in this neck of the woods. you may be enjoying your long weekend camping, or sitting on the beach, but we are taking the opportunity to get some serious work done on the trailer. Let's start off with a pretty shot, 'cause things are going to get ugly. Not a bad way to start the day. The cushions are gone to the upholsterer. And the crown jewel. the bathroom. This shot was ta...And t...

the little forest house: April 2012
http://thelittleforesthouse.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Wednesday, April 11, 2012. I've had some interest in our cabinets, and one question specifically about the hardware we used to have the frame exposed. Here are a few detail shots. The cabinet door closed. The front when opened, you can see the door pivots into the frame slightly. On another note, I was scrolling through one of my favourite design blogs today, and was pleasantly surprised to see this photo of my kitchen!

the little forest house: lipstick
http://thelittleforesthouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/lipstick.html
The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Thursday, August 16, 2012. We decided to paint portions of the trailer. Areas that had previously been painted or were not original. I promise to show before and after photos at the end. This countertop looks to not be original, and was painted bright green (almost exactly the colour of painter's tape! The shelf was not original, in fact from what I can tell this area originally had a shallower shelf and by-pass doors. Like this.

the little forest house: coming along
http://thelittleforesthouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/coming-along.html
The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Saturday, August 18, 2012. All the painting is done. All the oiling is done. Things are starting to happen people, and none too soon as we are 13 days away from our one and only camping trip this year. Thank goodness we booked this trip ages ago. Without a deadline I am hopeless. I thought I would do a little comparison about where we started and where we're at. Once again, the pictures don't show the difference much but really we are...

The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Tile, as it turns out, is quite difficult to find made in North America at a reasonable price. Sure, there are drop dead gorgeous tiles like these. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that American Olean. A widely distributed tile manufacturer, actually produces some of their product in the US. We got ours through the Tile and Stone factory. Why don't all tile companies do this? I get in&#...

The little forest house. Our greenish life in our little forest house. Sunday, July 17, 2011. A matter of perspective. Any of you who have built before will understand when I say that during the course of construction, the perspective changes over time. Usually it goes something like this. Oh my gosh it's huge. what have we done? Oh no - it's too small. what have we done? Oh - I guess it's just right. what was I worried about? Building is a roller coaster ride. one that we love. But it isn't for everybod...
