This beauty is our newly opened “Boho Box Hop.” We can’t believe it is complete! The Boho is our second box hop build and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with you. Inspired by the idea of a tiny home mixed with a contemporary container home, we off-set two shipping containers (20ft and 40 ft) to create an intimate getaway.
After completing the OG Box Hop, we didn’t want to stop the momentum and ideas we had flowing. The juxtaposition of the two container homes which are situated on the same piece of property boasts their entirely different vibes. With a more “homey” and quaint feel, the Boho is intended to set a warm, simple, and romantic tone.
Similar to the OG, we wanted you to approach the Boho by a longer walking path, allowing you to leave behind the hustle and become one with nature. The entrance to the Boho is simple, but as you look closer, you can see all the unique geometric angles incorporated into its design, including the entry deck, the windows to the right of the door, and the cedar trim that lines the ceiling above. No detail was spared—we wanted eclectic, modern, chic, and cozy.
As you enter the Boho Box, you are greeted with a small sitting/reading nook along with a tiny Morso woodburning stove. Being that the container is only 8 feet in width, it was tricky figuring out how to make an entrance such as this to be inviting and not feel as if you were walking into a wall. We felt that this was the perfect way to welcome those coming to hunker down. Adding dimension to the space, we brought the kitchen tile onto the floor just beneath the stove. Hanging on the wall is a favorite local artist's woven art and next to the chair are a few small built-in shelves for books to sit, and trinkets to entertain.
To the left, once you have entered the home, is the doorway that leads into the bathroom—one of my favorite rooms to design. Fun fact, the only doors inside the entire home are those in the bathroom. For a flare, they are painted a light champagne pink. As you enter, there are lots of textiles to admire. From the large carnation wallpaper, marble subway tile beneath the mirror, olive penny tile on the floors, and the massive red oak sliding door, we absolutely love how this room turned out. The sink vanity is a custom piece in which we took a small buffet, added a quartz top and vessel sink. With all brass accents, the faucet, sconces, and mirror pull it all together.
Just across from the vanity is another beloved favorite feature of the home. This amazing cast iron clawfoot tub is what dreams are made of. This tub doubles as a shower and again boasts all brass fixtures. We really wanted to top the charts in luxury for this bathroom and decided to add a towel warmer. Adding one more element of design, the wall behind the tub is tiled three-quarters of the way up with a pearly scalloped tile and if you look up from there, you’ll see the skylight that allows for daydreaming or star gazing while taking that relaxing soak.
And last, but certainly not least, are two areas of the bathroom that are tucked away on their own. The first, off to the right of the tub, is it’s very own toilet room. Seth was insistent that luxury meant keeping this space for itself…Emily wasn’t mad about it AT ALL. Finally, behind the gorgeous red oak slider, is the laundry area with a standup washer and dryer for guests to use at their leisure.

Where the Boho is much smaller than the OG, there are so many intricate details that we wanted to incorporate into the design and are going to be so fun to share with you. The OG holds a special place in our hearts, always, but there is something sweet about the Boho that has us captivated and still pinching ourselves that it is ours. Can’t wait to show you more!
