Storage Solutions

Just like any tiny home, a shed house lacks storage. To solve the problem, @belovedcabin added a row of old lockers (salvaged from JC Penney!) to store dry food and snacks in their kitchen.

Closed-door storage like this is a good choice because it keeps food away from pets while hiding all the clutter that can make a small space feel cramped and messy.

Loft Bedroom

Many shed houses feature loft bedrooms, like this one from @jaimesjourney. A ladder leads up to the sleeping area, preserving precious floor space for the kitchen and living room below.

To give you an idea on pricing, this 16- by 40-foot shed cost about $11,000 for the shell, plus another $11,000 to convert it to a home.

Unique Beginnings

Not all shed houses start as storage sheds. @larajaneashworth converted this home from a boat shed. It’s larger than a typical shed home with soaring ceilings and no shortage of character.

The open concept and designer-worthy kitchen make the whole space feel like a dream. Overlooking the river, this conversion was an affordable way to live in a location where a traditional home might be out of reach.
