It's Spring! And house-guests on the Houseboat!

I know it's been more than a while.  February was a big blur, all the snow and then my nephews came to visit! Work got crazy and, well, here I am again :)

 First off, we are having an amazing weekend, it's stupid sunny and warm.

Shocking my inside plant with *all the sun*

This is why I live on a boat, weekends like this one.  It makes all of the cold and lack of space and all the rest of it worth it.

But, the part that might actually help someone who is thinking about living in a houseboat, I had guests! That stayed on the boat with me for almost a week!

They were a pair of 15 year old boys, so we juggled showers and managed to get everyone out the door in time each morning.  My secret? Best Ikea Couch EVER

I adore the color

It is called FRIHETEN, and I'm linking to the product page.  All of the pictures are taken from their site.  This three cushion couch not only turns into a queen bed that fits in my house, but it has storage!  I love this thing.

The color rocks, but the reason I got it initially was for the storage.

There is my linen closet!

Holds all the things

This fit in my boat, and there is enough room to move the coffee table out (and still walk) when we make it into a bed.

Pulls right out into a bed!

It is the only 'hide a bed' that would ever fit, and it worked great!  The boys slept on it without issue, though the only electric blanket was a single person blanket so they had to trade that off.  It was still cold when they were here but the water was running and I could run the heat, so it worked out.  It's better when we can do a lot more outside, but it was a great test run!

And just over a month ago it was snowing, Washington is weird.  I am solar powered and I am loving the weather!
