Today we see a shipping container house but to make that a reality sometimes requires some out-of-the-box thinking and that is exactly what this next couple has done by building an incredible home out of a shipping containers house.
.
The Livingroom
They bought the floor thinking that it would contrast well with our Hickory cabinets and when they initially put it in there was nothing else in the space and that a lot of tiny homes have awesome built-ins
.
Awesome for the storage but they wanted a more contemporary look in our home and so they went to a lot of furniture stores with the tape measure looking for one that would fit our tiny space and make all the tolerances between you know in the door into.
The Kitchen
The kitchen room and so we found it we love it it’s a nice place to curl up in the fall in the winter with our fireplace and enjoy some time together and we your kitchen is really lovely it’s very big for a small house isn’t it is.
.
We don’t like to do a lot of cooking but have the space and so this is our dining room area we actually can feed and eat six people in here it’s cozy but we can have all the kids over for dinner and it is here.
.
The galley-size kitchen but we have full-size appliances all the way through and a dishwasher we don’t lack for anything that we didn’t have in our typical size house and then these granite countertops they’re a definite touch of luxury.
.
We learned through the process that when you do things on a smaller scale you can go with higher-end finishes because you only have to buy them in a small quantity and so we did you know very nice cabinets countertops and stainless steel appliances.
.
The Bathroom
The bathroom of the container house through there is it can we have a look at that so when we were taking inventory of the things that were important to us we knew that a big bathroom where we had room to be here together to turn around to get.
.
The dress to have some clothes storage was really important to us went with the pedestal sink so it wasn’t wall-to-wall cabinetry yeah and the shower and they built that, and it was a long slow process, but they did good.
.
Storage Room of the Container House
Then there are kitchen cabinets that we just stacked on top of each other and this is closet and we have tons of storage in here so everything’s working just like a home and then what’s through the back door here so into the closet here for code we had.
.
The container house to have a closet for our single bedroom and so this is a closet on our blueprint now it is a closet so nice we have our pantry they have been doing a lot of canning but also space before that you know this closet Pryor’s just a little bit.
.
And it worked well but now it’s nice to have the extra space in the areas because it can all be organized here then can we take a look at the upstairs absolutely all right now this spiral staircase is quite a feature well let’s check out the next container on top.
.
The Bedroom of the Container House
The bedroom is a beautiful perspective of the forest from this room we do we put the bird feeders right out the window here so you can see the birds in the morning they do feel like we have tucked in the woods right here so again when inventory other things
.
That was important to us a bedroom that we could stand up in that we could somewhat walk around in that’s important to us and this is a queen-size bed up here some challenges.
We couldn’t find nightstands so built these but we have a seasonal Creek right outside our bedroom window and so in the fall and the winter in the spring.
.
The container house to lay there and listen to the creeks and we love it up here and you’ve got a lovely area over here with the and of course, there’s the TV up here so when wanted a little space where they could read where they could write.
.
Bit and actually, we don’t use it that often because we spend so much time outside and doing other things but it is nice to have the option here the only time.
we watch TV is when we’re laying in bed but it’s nice to be able to just zone out and do things like normal people in big houses do sometimes.
.
And so we do enjoy that you know creature comforts even though we’re living tiny and then through here we’ve got the deck can we take a look at that yes so when we were building our container and we wanted to put the 20-footer on top of our 40-footer.
.
Rooftop Dining Room of the Container House
we didn’t want to lose any of our available living space so we built a deck out here off our master bedroom and it is just a little piece of heaven out here sitting up here having morning coffee and having dinner in the evenings we just love looking
.
Over our valley, the view from up here is majestic, it is we feel very blessed how long have you been living in the home now just about three and a half years yeah and how are you finding the space worked out for you.
.
we think it’s been a learning process right from the beginning to where we’re at right now and we think it’s been something that we would probably not change it wasn’t
what we were expecting our vision was to just get up here mortgage-free the container house building tiny seemed like the way to do that and they think it’s exceeded our expectations.
