My neighbours did this; took about 5 years start to finish (from the time they bought the trailer to the time they sold it). It apparently took some convincing of the county because they were restricted to one house on the piece of land...so having the mobile home AND the new house was against zoning bylaws. Thankfully the county agreed if the mobile home was gone when the moved into the new house. There was about a month in which they camped out in the yard because the mobile home was sold and gone but the house hadn't passed final inspection. All that being said, it worked, they have a gorgeous house and no debts. That being said, they had TONS of family to help them with the build, and she was a stay at home mom (they have 5 kids!), and dad was a trucker who would be home for stretches at a time. Personally, I built my place in a year working only evenings and weekends plus my holiday time, without an entire crew of workers. $50k wouldn't have gotten it to lock-in stage, but it would have covered my excavation, foundation and at least 1/2 of framing (except I dug my own basement and poured my own foundation....so we're talking material costs). Where there's a will, there's a way right??

Nosoccer, I doubt it would be the most comfy for someone of that height. I have never had anyone that tall sleep on it.

Sorry for the poor quality photo. This was my hubby’s office in our last home. The photo makes the walls appear more olive than they were, anyways, he loved that deep green. We painted the ceiling a grayish green and that was a nice feel in there. It wasn’t rustic at all, he had things that were important to him on the walls... photographs of jets he’d helped design signed by the engineers who worked with him on those projects, and instruments he used to play displayed on the walls (a trombone he played from 2nd grade through high school, and the first bass guitar he learned to play on, that happened to be a pretty color of wood) Hubby opted for flat sheen walls in that office because he did a lot of web development work and he didn’t want any glare when staring at his computer screens.

I feel like I wrote this post! Ha! We just did the same thing in my husbands office. He does have high ceilings but walls were bland and he wanted moody green. We used SW 6475 Country Squire and are so happy with it. We did the trim in a bright white and all frames on the wall black to match the desk/chair. Got a light rug from rugs USA. I will post some pictures if it helps you to visualize your room. (We haven’t done anything on the windows yet).
