I love the repurposed items, especially the wok sink in the bathroom!  

Kudos to you, and the lucky guests who get to stay in it.

Thank you for sharing.

The home looks like you spent a lot of time and effort to make your home liveable and beautiful.

I like the quote, "You build your first house for your enemy, your second for your friend and the third for yourself."  

This is our second build so the next one is going to be amazing.

Or maybe it isn't a wok. It looked like one when I saw it on my iPhone...now it looks like amber glass... still very cool.
