\"Our<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have an exciting announcement about a little project our family has been working on behind the scenes for the past year. And by \"little,\" what I really mean is \"tiny\" - we've built a Tiny House on Wheels (THOW) to use in the mountains! Here in Charlotte, NC it gets hot hot HOT in the summer (I'm talking highs in the mid-nineties with crazy humidity), so we've long dreamed of being able to regularly escape to the nearby mountains. With just a 2 or 3 hour drive you can cool off by about 15 degrees (or even more on a good day) and have a whole new set of activities at your disposal ... and pretty views, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Tiny?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned, we always dreamed of being able to spend more time in the nearby mountains, but buying a cabin or vacation house is just not in our budget. So, after putting loads of thought into our options (and being inspired by our recent RV trip and HGTV, of course!), we decided if we went tiny we could realize this dream sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things we loved about our time in the RV<\/a> was just how simple life was. It was such a small space to clean and keep up with and didn't require much in the way of housewares or other \"stuff\" in general. But, at the same time we are also very much sticklers for things that are well-made and high-quality, so building a tiny house seemed liked the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our tiny house is 300-square feet (not counting the sleeping lofts) and, since I am a food blogger and cookbook author, you can probably guess my priority when we were figuring out the design - the kitchen, of course! Many Tiny Houses on Wheels have equally tiny galley kitchens - some even just have a small beverage style fridge and no oven. But, it was super important to me to have a kitchen with plenty of room for cooking and recipe testing. So, here is what we came up with! I honestly love some aspects of this kitchen even more than my kitchen at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only our Most Used Kitchen Tools for our Tiny House Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We've got all sorts of fun kitchen gadgets at home that only get occasional use - such as our panini grill<\/a> and waffle cone maker - but of course there's no room for luxuries like that in a tiny house kitchen. So, I thought it would be fun to share the list of our most used kitchen tools and appliances that made the cut for our tiny house<\/a>. Between inexpensive finds at Ikea, sales at a variety of kitchen stores, and pots and pans that were factory seconds - I've been a busy little bee trying to find the best deal on everything we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
