Sometime between when I bought the gatorboard house and now, tiny houses have become a thing. After seeing some episodes of Tiny House Nation and Tiny House Hunters I decided that the Spanish Revival artist’s cottage qualifies as a tiny house.
With the addition I’m planning to add it’s something like 460 square feet, so its footprint is bigger than some of the really tiny houses I’ve seen on TV. Even so, I decided it doesn’t need a full kitchen.
I got these handmade cabinets a few years ago for cheap at a mini flea market. They’re made from blocks of wood, with non-opening doors and handles made from pins. They started out bright blue with flowers on them. I painted a coat of grayish blue (left) before deciding to go gray/green instead.
Originally the countertops were a white Formica-like material. I covered them with wood veneer I bought in a big batch off eBay last year.
