Greetings and welcome to the fascinating tale of Josyln and Dave. They are the proud owners of a 32-foot gooseneck small house, located in the tranquil Acony Bell small Home Village. Their little home, which skillfully combines vintage design with contemporary efficiency, is a monument to inventiveness, nostalgia, and frugal living.
A House Full of Recollections
The Biltmore Estate’s gifted decorator Josyln has filled their house with antiques and family artifacts to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The décor is influenced by Cracker Barrel and reflects a fondness for classic artifacts and sentimental significance. With a narrative for every object, their modest house is a living museum of treasured memories.
“Incorporating family heirlooms into our home has been a delightful challenge,” Josyln explains. “It’s all about finding the right balance between functionality and sentimentality.”
Crafted with Passion and Skill
Dave, a local contractor, and an electrician put up the house for a reasonable $50,000. Dave’s height was taken into consideration when designing the house, which has a roomy gooseneck area for their bedroom and lots of storage in the bathroom. Rustic character is added to the living area with a mantel built from an old railroad tie and a salvaged wood mantel from a neighboring whiskey factory.
Distinctive Qualities and Design Aspects
- Living Room: A quaint area with a mantel made from repurposed wood and railroad ties, ideal for showcasing old clocks and family portraits.
- Bathroom : This room includes a sliding door made of reclaimed wood and a cat-sized “doorway” for their cherished cat Madeline, which gives her easy access to the space where her litter box is located.
- Bedroom: Tucked away in the gooseneck area, this room offers seclusion and a warm haven at the end of the day.
