We got our siding put up!! I already told yall that we wanted the outside of the house to look like a traditional house.

We left a lot of the interior "container walls" without drywalling them.



So we decided that metal siding was our most economical choice and it has a 30 year warranty on paint.




 We attached it to the pole barn style framing I told you guys about.



My husband wanted the exterior to be blue and I wanted cream trim. It turned out very nice.

Home Tour Intro

Hey there! I know it's been forever! I have so much to share! We have gotten so much done, and I'm so ready to burn my paint brushes! Haha, not really, because I have lots of other projects that I can't wait to get done once I'm finished with our house.  I am going to do a series of posts detailing different rooms with maybe some "before" pictures to remind me how thankful I am of where we've come from! (I didn't do any this time, but I plan to in the future.) I used to be very much a grey walls/stark white trim person. And I still like those colors, but for this house I have gravitated toward the warmer creams and ivory for my walls, along with medium grey for my trim. This color scheme is very rich, cozy and lends itself to my rustic French country (sortof) decorating style that also has a bit of industrial to go along.  Here are our large, beautiful, double front doors. I went with cream for the trim as well, because the exterior trim is the same co...

Home Tour pt 2

 Hey everyone! So, I decided to post one or two update pictures of our foyer. Fall is here and that means we move the wood rack into the house. My son welded up a new one, since the one we got at the (unnamed) farm store only lasted 2 seasons.  I also added a lamp, and it warms up the entryway so nicely.  We found our wood stove in northern Arkansas. From what we can figure out, it was cast in the 1930s. It is not airtight, so the temperature fluctuates quite a bit.  When you walk through the foyer into the great room, the wood stove is on your right.  The dining room is beyond it and the living room area is to your left. I have my grandma's china hutch, along with the dishes we used many years around the Sunday lunch table. I have added my own china as well. Behind the dining table is our bar. I love how it opens up the kitchen area, and makes a nice place for company to sit while I'm finishing up dinner! We have had our dining table since we had a house fire j...

Upstairs! Last post!

 Hey y'all, Wanted to share the pictures of our gorgeous upstairs. The main room is 40' long and 13 1/2 feet wide, and with the containers on each side. We left the whole room open with 10' windows on each end. Looking out these windows into the trees makes me feel like I'm living in a treehouse.  Going backwards: here is the deck we built, 17' above ground. So relaxing.  Landing at the top of the stairs. Love the trees. Bedroom with the deck. Sons bedroom. Daughters bedroom.  Large multipurpose "game room"  We painted around the "CMA CGM" logo and kept it for posterity.  That's it! House is sold. This build was a fun adventure! Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Hope this blog helps someone else along their container home journey! ✌️
