Things to Do With Boxes

We love cardboard boxes, versatile, imaginative, sustainable, frugal, fun & mostly free…. boxes can become anything from dens to space rockets, camper vans to lost worlds…
Here’s a selection of some of the fun we have had with boxes…

We made an ice cream van…

⭐️Tonight’s sky is filled with stars above the church.

Rock n roll on a Friday night walking through a graveyard. 
But it feels perfect 🙂 
Today we came up with a lovely plan for the organ 🐭 (Don’t worry the organ is a treasure to us and the church so it will only involve restoration and complimenting)

Kitchen floor update...slowly but surely 🙂 Once Kitchen floor update...slowly but surely 🙂
Once set we can start on the pew wood seating booth, get the pipe work in and start building the kitchen. 
The kitchen sink will sit below the window. 
Where I’m standing will be a doorway that steps out of the living pod and into the kitchen.
We have chosen not to have any under flooring heating in the kitchen as we wanted to maintain the wonderful natural feel of the building, it’s a pretty ambient temperature so if needed a fan heater will do the job. The feel of the stone beneath your feet is very grounding. Hopefully it will make for many happy hours spent washing dishes.
