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 just 2 years after we got married. It's very solid. 


Our sitting area is a little snug, but we make up for that with the game room upstairs. I have wanted to switch the dining and living areas, but John says he designed the house that way so we can have lots of company around our dining table!



And that's it for the living, dining room! Next time I'll show you our master!

    I tremendously enjoy living in a container home. In general, container homes are inexpensive, efficient, and their environmentally friendly structures make for a truly unique place of residence.

    Still, like very much all major projects, it's absolutely vital to anticipate every single snag that could get in your way. So be sure to plan ahead to ensure that your shipping container home project gets done right.

    If you need some help with your project, figure out the snags and all, then you should take a look at this. Perhaps what it has to offer would be something that actually fits your need.

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! ✌️

Home tour pt 3

 Hey everyone,  The home is currently on the market, but I wanted to post a couple more times to finish up the tour! My favorite area is our bedroom suite. I'm so thankful for the space we have as well as the nice sized bath and closet.  Here is what our bedroom looked like before it was a bedroom. We lived with the red and orange walls for several months.  We made slow but sure progress painting and trimming out while living in the house 🤯 Yes I did only paint a portion of the wall JUST so we could hang John's guitar. (It was like that for about 4 months.) (Side not on dates and amounts of time I reference, they are ALL approximate. I really have no idea how long that portion of the wall was painted before I finished it.) (Don't judge). Again, I fell in love with the cream and grey color scheme, I feel like it softens the metal, industrial feel of the house. We installed a sliding barn door going into the master closet, but used a regular interior door for the bath...
