As you can probably tell by now if you have been following my blog,
I am a massive fan of giving an old object new life.
Call it what you like: recycling, re-purposing, re-using, salvaging or reclaiming.
It's simply taking an object with the aim of saving it from the scrap heap &
hopefully turning it into something better than what it was before.
Here I think is one of the ultimate ways of re-purposing-
a full house recycled from shipping containers.
They have been used for temporary emergency accommodation,
and these below are so much more than that!
I have long been a fan of this (I know it is not a new phenomena)
these shipping containers are worth a second look:
from here & they have more to look at
So what do you feel about living in shipping containers? Do you like the idea? Are you irked? Fugly or genius?
