All right, we are in Buda, Texas at our Airbnb. We've stayed here for two years now for a month
at a time and it has become our inspiration for what our next cabin is going to be at our farm.
We call this the Frank house because the Airbnb owner here name is Frank. We became good friends
with him, but just the absolute perfect floor plan. I'm going to walk you through it and kind
of show you things that we'll do to Ohio-ize this. We have to make it a little bit more
ready to handle the winter. As you see when you come in, it's wide open. It's one of the
things we love about this. At only 960 square feet, it's 40 by 24. That peak there goes to 14,
but it makes you feel very wide open in here. One of the things we're going to do
is where that TV is, we're going to put a stone fireplace at ours. It'll go out,
it'll help heat this in the wintertime when it's in Ohio. They use the concrete floors,
which you know we like to too. We're going to do the same thing and heat those floors
at our place. It'll be extremely energy efficient. When you walk in, just some things that right away
that we love about this floor plan. The back porch, those are triple slider doors. They open
all the way up. When that is completely open, you would not believe how big it feels in here.
Let me back up. We have our computer while we're working here, but nice little kitchen area
for what we'll be able to do and also with that fireplace over here. Then when you go out to the
porch, another set of double doors, which is really nice when you have these wide open,
you can go from front to back. Just really gives it a great cabin feel. I'll go up again. Like I
said, we'll have the fireplace over there on ours, a nice ceiling. Then what we love to do
when you come out here and I'll take you out and let you see a nice covered porch, about 12 by 20.
We'll probably keep that same footprint here and then come back to the kitchen.
Just love this. It reminds me, you know, that open look that we have in our main barn
dominium at the house, but so functional and so functional for a cabin. Full refrigerator,
nice stove unit. We'll probably do a different hood vent in ours because we'll go up through
and maybe some cupboards and cabinets, but I like the open look here. It fits Texas perfectly
and it's just great. Frank actually made all the concrete countertops in here. He's an
amazing craftsman and was nice enough to let us do this video. We're pretty much going to
mimic this minus the changes I'm talking about that we have to make for Ohio, but let me show
you. It's two bedroom, which is really nice when you think of that size. We'll come down here.
This middle section right here is a barn door. As you can see, hides off. This will be the laundry
room. They've got a double stack washer and dryer here. Plenty of space in here. What we're going to
do with this room here is put a little wash tub in. It looks like they may even be doing that down
there. Then also, this will be our control room for our on-demand heat and our hot water. Master
bedroom, right to the right. Nice, big, tall doors. We're going to do the same thing. Love
these tall windows. They got great views out to the Texas landscape here. Nice, plenty of size
for a king-size bed. Again, I like the upper windows in here, how they did this. I think for
us to make this even cozier for Ohio, we may put another small gas fireplace or even electric
fireplace in here. Then each bedroom has its own bathroom. For 960 square feet, it's really
kind of phenomenal when you think about it. Nice open area in there, a full shower as you go back,
and then a closet. Lots of storage space, lots of area for the master. Just really unbelievable.
We'll go and check out the other bedroom. Like I said, just so much for a small floor plan
that's fit in. We were talking to Frank the other day and just saying this is just unbelievable.
We've lived in it, so it's a little bit easier for us to understand how amazing it is. Another
plenty of room in here in this smaller bedroom, but it's not smaller by much, just a few feet.
It's got its own closet as well, pretty deep in there too. Again, I like this closet space that
they've added. Just makes it look really, really nice. Concrete floors we're going to love because
we like to do that anyway, and it just makes it easy to keep clean. Then their own bathroom again
in here. I'll come around so you can see the other side of it. It's really, really, really
impressive how much is fit into this small floor plan. Shower there and vanity. Again, about 960
square feet, 24 by 40. We're going to do a couple things to add. As I like to say, Ohioize it, but
we'll have plans for our project up and a story on our blog here soon at Old World Garden Farms.
We hope to build this this summer, so we'll have a live walkthrough video
of our place when it's all done at the end of this summer.
