Consider spending a large sum of money on items and a large home, only to lose them all at once. How do you start again once a disaster has taken away everything? Vicky lost everything in an earthquake in New Zealand. As a consequence, she moved to Queensland, Australia, and started again in a little cottage. Vicky’s refuge is on a small piece of land she shares with other families in a modest home community.
A permaculture garden where they can produce food, a yoga studio, and a treatment area where they can receive massages, acupuncture, and other therapies are all part of the site. Vicky formerly resided in a typical-sized home in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was, however, devastated by earthquakes. She added that it was a terrible period for her, so she moved to Australia and lived with friends in Sydney until she found a job and rebuilt her life.
After six years, her insurance company repaired her property, but she had already created a new life in Australia and has not returned to New Zealand. “I’d wanted to live tiny after having everything you own destroyed in an earthquake; you start to question why you’re putting so much money into things and space, and all of that is suddenly gone,” she remarked.
Vicky says she searched for the ideal builder for five to seven years. She ended up in Queensland, where she encountered the most amazing construction firm and people. She completed her home in two months. Vicky’s beautiful house is composed of Colorbond in Dune Matt finish with black windows, and her wooden terrace has white, flowing drapes, lighting, and effective mosquito nets. Her house is wired for regular electricity and has well water.
Her little home is 7.2 meters long with a small hump out over the drawbar, making it an eight-meter-long structure. She also has beautiful landscaping, a garden, and a spot for bee-friendly wildflowers. Her little home is green on the interior, echoing the rainforest seen through her windows. She spent hours hunting for the appropriate pattern for her white wallpaper, which depicts plants and trees.
She bought the wallpaper from the artist directly in the Netherlands. Vicky’s little abode is accented with green, wood, and copper elements. It contains aqua-blue copper lights that she bought from a charity shop four years ago, so when she chose to live in a little home, she believed the copper lights should be present.
