the time we almost bought a mobile home.

When we're driving around town, we occasionally pass this mobile home lot. The majority of them look like your typical, average mobile home. There was one building that Josh and I could never figure out, though. It's orange, square, and has stairs along the side of the building leading up to a roof-top patio. We were always super curious about it. Today when we were driving home from the movies, we passed it and decided to pull into the lot and maybe check it out.

Josh went inside the office and asked if we were allowed to look in the buildings, and the owner said that any door that was unlocked, we could enter. So, we did. It turned out that the orange building actually comes with one of the homes and a built-in porch/deck sort of thing, and a back patio leading out from the master bedroom. Here's what they look like:

Um, it's beautiful. And definitely not the average mobile home. It's also 100% green friendly. It runs off of solar power! It's amazing. First, we went into the home and looked around. The actual house can hold 1-2 bedrooms. The model we looked at was a two bedroom.

{i love the built-in bed, cabinets, and nightstand!}

I'm definitely not into the decor and coloring just because I'm not a fan of super modern styling, but other than that I sort of loved it. Then, the other building. It's so fun and neat! It's basically just a little hang-out, but Josh and I talked about using it as an office space or possibly finding a way to turn it into my future salon. (Listen, people. We were serious about this for about an hour. Ha.) It could even be used as a guesthouse. It has it's own bathroom. You can also get it in different sizes. (1 bedroom or 2!)

Again, not a fan of the decor, it's horrible. But how neat is this?! We would absolutely be doing this, too. If it weren't for the fact that 1.) You can't get loans on them. 2.) They do not appreciate in value. 

It was super fun to look at, though! As I told Josh, "It was a short-lived dream. But it was our dream." (that's a joke.) :)

What do you guys think about these!
