Emma Louise

Picture
Come on in to what Cardboard can do. The House of Emma Louise stands in all its glory. Yes, there are few finishing touches, but overall The House of Emma Louise is ready for her debut.

This house was built in honor of Emma Louise Durham.
It is constructed from sheets of double-wall, corrugated cardboard, wood trim and steps, purchased windows and doors, and lots of love and hard work. It took approximately 5 months to complete.

Working on shingling the roof with hundreds of shingles. Still lots of work to be done to finalize this amazing piece of cardboard construction. The back of the house is my personal favorite. I imagine myself sitting on this patio, sipping a cup of tea while planning my next cardboard project.

Who was this daughter of a sharecropper?
She was my beautiful grandmother, Emma Louise Durham, and I honor her life with this awesome house. I am happy to announce that this image of my grandmother is now displayed in many homes throughout Pearland, Texas and parts of Hampton Roads Virginia. Click on her to enlarge!
