Iconic and simplistic, A-frame homes bring you closer to nature. Our vision for our lake-house getaway was to add modern flair to this classic architectural design. It took us over a year to build our A-frame, from finding the perfect land off Richland Chambers Lake in Texas to customizing everything from the ground up. Our hope is that our home provides an escape from modern-day stressors and offers everyone who visits a much-needed reset.

Our home was inspired by our love for modern architecture when paired nicely with warm and inviting interior tones. On a 6-month adventure to New Zealand, we met a fellow named Tom and his fiancée, Sarah, who had built a very similar design. We became friends and ended up working with him to help build our dream home, referencing his design. The name of our house is based on our favorite quote from Ernest Hemingway: “We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.” We both enjoy the nice things in life in moderation and know how to appreciate what we have without getting caught up in the desire for more.

BONITA, CA
We were inspired to convert a retired school bus into a tiny home after years of traveling without our beloved pup, Cake. We set out to give her the best life, but in return quickly realized this lifestyle was best for all of us. We love that we have our home with us wherever we go, but mostly we love that this decision has reminded us to be more conscious consumers and more intentional about experiencing the magic of our true home, Earth.
