Designing THE121…picking out makeup

/ jbbaughman

Just like with any house there are decisions to make! From light fixtures to paint colors, sinks and appliances…so many options! Luckily for me I’ve been dreaming of this tiny house for 10 years so Pinterest doesn’t stand a chance when it comes to what I envision in my mind…

Enjoy a few pics of just a few of the decisions I made for THE121’s exterior and interior “touches.”

THE121 will have a metal roof…who knew metal came in so many colors???
So many options!
Carolyn was soooo helpful with her artistic eye. I knew what I wanted and she helped me get there! Here we are picking out the exterior paint color.
Pictures never capture the true color. Here you can see the roof color (steal grey) along with the exterior color (Grey/brown) or folk stone if you’re bougie like that 😉. The sand sample will be the trim and windows. Can you envision it yet???
Perhaps my favorite moment of this process was picking out the kitchen cabinet colors. I knew what look I was going for and I picked the color before the name of the color even appeared. Refuge. That’s the color I picked. Refuge. Isn’t that fitting for THE121? If you go back to my first blog post of how THE121 was named, you’ll know that I want it to be a place of refuge just as God is our constant refuge and protection. He is in every detail of this house.
And just for fun…here’s a blueprint of THE121. The first floor in on top and the second floor is on the bottom.

And last but not least as the last decision was made…the snow began to fall. Isn’t that just like our God? Doesn’t he give good gifts? It was another nod to His character that He cares. He sees. He provides.
