52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 28!

Who could imagine that one day people would be saying...

I want to live in a shipping container!

I am completely infatuated with shipping container designs.

Whether the home is modest or colossal, the capabilities with the recycled product fascinates me.

There is so much potential with using this material.

(For my plan below, I'm imagining 3 shipping containers, 2 large flanking a small.)

I personally prefer the wood exterior. The solar panels are a great, logical addition. I prefer slanted roofs -elevated in the front, declining in the rear (which has potential to collect rain water for a garden.)

Below are some beautiful facades - some clearly more extravagant than others, but overall, well designed!

52 Weeks of Floor Plans --- Week 21!

Week 21! I have a cozy bedroom now, and love its quaint size, so I stemmed this weeks design with the simplicity of the room. The only change I would make to my current space would be to switch the window wall (I only sleep on my right side, so I would love it if the sunrise would be conveniently positioned to wake me in the morning. I love this wall color and the retro couch. And I'm a sucker for orange/ peach roses. Source A clean color scheme with eclectic accents for the kitchen. Source This deep blue with white trim and light wood are very serene and relaxing (and there is a chevron blanket which makes me like this space even more!) Source Chevron! Source I would love a walk in closet, even if a small one. Source Simple and clean counters, dark cabinetry. Source Walk in shower with glass tile & a simple bench. Source Small but beautiful powder room. Source

Traveling & Life

My last post for my 52 weeks of floor plans conveniently coincided with a vacation I'd been anticipating all year. I took 10 days off work - something I rarely do! July 2nd I went on an adventure down south to places I had never been, with people I had never met but have long connections with! I saw amazing views along the way... Somewhere in North Carolina.... I was able to cross "The Biltmore Estate" off my bucket list & visited Asheville, NC. And my cousin's corny joke, "It's a little small....they could have built more" We then continued to South Carolina for a family reunion on the 4th! And finally, my favorite part of the trip, the Smokey Mountains. (Cosby, Tennessee) We stayed at a secluded log cabin on the top of a mountain with our own private road and 35 acres with trails on the property. I sadly saw no bears, but heard them in the woods around us in the early hours of the morning. I spent m...

52 Weeks of Floor Plans ---Week 19!

I need to start working on fulfilling some dreams, and one is to have a cute little cafe/ bistro on the main street of a quaint little town, have a yoga studio above it, and above that my loft apartment. But most importantly, escape on weekends to a great cottage in the woods. Source My thoughts are that if I needed to expand for sleeping arrangements, I could easily breakup the back of the house into two bedrooms. Source Source Source Source Ideally, a place like this would be somewhere down south --- and Asheville, North Carolina has always caught my attention. From what I can tell, there is a great downtown (hopefully I can plan a trip there next spring/summer to check it out myself.) Source I think I could put up with a view like this on weekends!
