The Goal = Turn Two 8’ Wide Metal Boxes Into A Shipping Container Home, Part #4
Truth – My husband and I aren’t getting any younger. Access to the second story (master bedroom) of our home was a major design issue.

Every woman wants a kitchen to call her own, especially a mother. It’s her space, whether she is a gourmet chef or simply trying to feed the kids. Dave and I have 5 of those amazing big people together, and while 4 of the 5 aren’t living at home, I still wanted to try and have a space where they could come and enjoy a home cooked meal. My kids thrive on mom’s cooking and not making room for their needs in our tiny home, even when they were older and no longer living with us, just seemed selfish.

The Dream = Shipping Container Home
They called us crazy. In hindsight, we probably were a little crazy; or maybe a lot. Everyone’s adventure has to begin somewhere, and this is where our’s began.
