coup d'œil

The KonMari Method has been really popular recently, and I think it’s a huge benefit to a lot of people, but I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. There’s no way I would have the energy to do an entire room, I would run out of spoons a quarter of the way through and everything would live on the floor forever. So I’ve rewritten her method for spoonies!

Note: Do as little or as much as you want at a time. You know your health best, don’t push yourself so hard you hurt yourself. It will still be there tomorrow. 

“I don’t know you yet, but I’m on my journey to find you.”

A tiny off-grid cabin designed and built by Alice Nivison + Richie Northcott. Perched on the edge of the Cobark River in the remote range of Barrington Tops, Australia

The 160-square foot cabin was made inside a warehouse and towed to the remote site.The pre-fab, portable design means it can perch on the river’s edge, and towed up the banks if the river rises, to avoid being swept away. Built as a timber framed structure with a birch ply interior, a black birch kitchen and fibre cement bathroom with exposed copper plumbing the cabin was created in just over 60 days.

The off-grid design uses solar-power, a composting loo and water collected from the River. Large windows surround the bed, and french doors open out to the river to give a feeling of expansiveness to the dwelling’s tiny footprint.
