I shared photos of our current home a while back, but I have fond memories of the last house we lived in – a cute little worker’s cottage.
The total floor space was only about 7 squares!
Despite the lack of space, we had some good times in that tiny worker’s cottage, as you can see!
So why did we do it?
Maybe because this was our back yard … 😉
Have you ever lived in a tiny home? How did you make it work?!

I’ll never complain about my tiny house again! (ok that’s a lie).
lovely “backyard”
Janet says
LOL … we caravanned around Australia at one stage, so I used to joke that at least the cottage had indoor plumbing and a dishwasher!!!
Emily @ Have A Laugh On Me says
Now that is a backyard!!! I bet it was hard to leave. But I’m sure you love the space you have now! xx
Janet says
Although we are on a much smaller block now, we back onto acreage with lots of lovely trees so we get the great views of greenery without the hassle of looking after it! 😉
Zita says
Just gorgeous! love the bright colours! and I can understand why you would stay there with that as your backyard!
stephanie says
I bet it was tough to leave the cottage, Janet!
Janet says
Mmmm – I didn’t show you the picture of the “dungeon”, my laundry under the house … and I was VERY happy when we got a second bathroom!!
Kathy says
What a special backyard – bet it felt like a holiday all the time, and plenty of reason to get outside of your little house and into the fresh air to make fond memories.
Janet says
It did Kathy! It was great to see my kids embracing the outdoors lifestyle, and hanging out with the neighbourhood kids. It was a great place for them to grow up!
Alicia says
That would make a perfect cosy little holiday home!
Janet says
I know! Sadly it was beyond redemption and was demolished not long after we moved out 🙁
Rita @ The Crafty Expat says
That was a really lovely house Janet! Great backyard!
Janet says
I do miss being able to go fishing and boating right from our backyard!
Pinky Poinker says
What an adorable little house! I would happily live there especially with the backyard!
Janet says
Pinky, we lived there for 5 years. We shifted when our youngest turned 13 – it got a bit squeezy with two teenagers in the house, especially with only one combined bathroom/toilet!
Rae Hilhorst says
Wow, yep I would have put up with it to. xxx Rae
David Ryan says
Beautiful. It looks really cozy.
Trish says
We have lived in very small spaces and it’s always good to move on. I love your backyard.
Vicki @ Boiled Eggs & Soldiers says
Wow look at that backyard, amazing! You made a wonderful home in your tiny space, home is where the heart is isn’t it!
Janet Camilleri says
We had great neighbours there too. Really wish we had have been able to afford to build our dream house on that block but alas it was not to be …
