The home of peasant Chapygina is an example of the dwelling of the poorest peasants. It is a simple log cabin made of inexpensive aspen logs with three windows on the facade and a small porch at the entrance. The fence is made of thin poles.

The windows are adorned with simple wooden frames, without carvings or other decorative elements. The size of the hut and the materials it is built from indicate the modest means of the family living in this house.

The modest financial situation is confirmed by the furnishings of the living room, which has only the essentials. Instead of a bed, like the more prosperous neighbors, there are sleeping platforms, as well as everyday items, a table, and benches. A significant place is occupied by a primitive weaving loom, which is likely the source of income for the hostess. There are few household items, with a simple tablecloth and minimal dishes on the table.

In the utility room of Chapygina's house, the most necessary household items are presented, mainly samples of woven footwear. Bast shoes of different sizes and styles are hung on the walls and lie on the floor under the bench. On the seat are some other products, a basket for berries and mushrooms, and a shepherd's horn made of birch bark. A simple device for winding yarn likely serves as a preparatory tool for the hostess's weaving.
