This is the design I used in my survival world for my supply base. This is a medium sized "home" that I used when I finally found the spot where I would put my base. I wanted something that looked better than 10 chests and 20 furnaces thrown across the land, so settled on this. This is not a starter house. This just serves as a little base of operations during the time you build a real house/town/structure, and you plan to be in the area for a while setting up portals and whatnot. As such, this isn't planned for late game, where you need mob farms, and full enchant tables, and cobble generators and the such. You can save on supplies used for this if you want to cut out some of the aesthetic parts, but for what is in the pictures, this is the mats list.

Total base materials:
65 Wood Logs (Oak / Spruce / etc.)
79 Cobblestone

Total specific materials:
89 Oak Stairs
93 Oak Planks
8 Oak Half Slabs
12 Fences
55 Cobblestone
16 Cobble Stairs

Furnishings:
10 Chests
1 Door
1 Bed
6 Furnaces
1 Workbench
8 Torches
