Everyone said I couldn’t turn an old shipping container into a house but I did – and now it’s making me a mint | The Sun

MANY people dream of creating their dream home, but one woman has revealed how she did this using an old, grotty shipping container.

TikTok user Emily, who is based in the US, unveiled her stunning tiny home and said she now rents it out for £500 a night.



On her @ebroomy account, she said: “When someone says you can’t turn a shipping container into a home.”

The DIY whizz showed how she received the rusty shell and then painted it a sleek, black colour.

Then she added walls, insulation and set about making the interior look stylish.

To really take it to the next level, Emily bought a sauna and hot tub for the exterior.

She said they thankfully saved money on land, as they put the shipping container on their family’s grounds.

The most expensive part of the project was their materials and they didn’t scrimp on doing it on the cheap.

Emily has now listed the container home on Airbnb and the description reads: “Surrounded by tall Hickory trees this Modern Getaway was thoughtfully designed to bring you a luxurious getaway in Mother Nature with an open landscape right at your fingertips.

“Enjoy all the amenities you need to relax and recoup.”
