Trailer Royalty!

Well, we are officially living in the horse trailer!  On June 25th we moved the final necessities that kept us from being able to stay at the house another day. Our plan was to move a little at a time as we had the time so as not to be overwhelmed by it. After the fact it seems that we've been moving for 8 weeks! We knew the new residents would not be moving in until the middle to end of July so that gave us time to spread it out.

When I tell people we are living in the living quarters of a horse trailer I get interesting responses... mostly just smiles and nods! Ha ha ha! You see, I don't think it would be possible for us to do this with kids and the space is quite nice. We have a king size bed :-D, kitchenette with a sink & 2 burner stove-top, couch, TV, separate bathroom with a sink, toilet, stand up shower and closet! It's compact but we aren't lacking! We have some of our things in the back of the trailer where the horses ride when we travel. It can get a little cramped if we are up and getting showered/dressed at the same time but we manage. Macy, our 4-legged child, isn't too fond of the lack of inside playing space. She's not sure how she's supposed to play with her toys, or lack-thereof, in such a small space. But she does enjoy our new outdoor space.




After we got things moved in but not put away!
Looks like the Harrell House threw up inside the trailer!

The first few nights were an adjustment for us between getting everything put away in the space we have. One of the biggest things I have tried to do is organize it the best way possible to make it easier. I think it will all fall into place and get easier each day. All of the different organizing tools and tricks out there help a lot!

The pictures below are NOT pictures of our home but are pretty similar to it in order to give you an idea of our cozy living accommodations!



The entrance door is to the left, couch on the right, king size bed up top!




Stand-up shower on left, closet on right with drawer under!




From entrance door... bed on left, kitchenette on right. Couch will fold out as bed!





Pretty cozy and nice! We also have our full-size refrigerator outside, but covered, to hold our groceries which is very convenient! 

Now that we have gotten moved into the trailer, we are concentrating on getting the house ready for the renters to move in. Brandon has done a few things himself and we have carpet cleaners coming next week, etc. Once we get past this transition, we will concentrate on getting bids on our house plans so that we will know about how much land to look for! We will go from there! 

Have a Safe & Happy 4th of July!
