Posted — UpdatedThe Smith Family’s Tuff Shed Tiny Home
When it came to the second project, the Smiths decided to get some help. One day during a trip to Home Depot, the Smiths found a shed they liked, ordered it and hired builders and contractors to create their new tiny home. There were separate crews for shed construction, foundation pouring (an additional charge) and interior work.
The Smith family gave us a virtual tour of their home, which has an open concept on the first floor. They have a nice, airy window in the kitchen area in front of the sink for some amazing views and tucked into the kitchen is a cozy dining area perfect for up to four people. Later, the Smiths and their guests can retire to the living area for games and conversation.
The couple’s bedroom looks like the perfect private retreat for two. There’s room for a bed plus side tables and lamps. The room also includes windows, a ceiling fan, a dresser and even a nice seating area where they can relax.
The Smith’s bathroom even has a soaking tub! It looks like their own personal day spa.
But, how much did this all cost to pull together? After all, that truly is the bottom line, right?
“Our Tuff Shed shell was a bit over $20,000 including some upgrades,” Beth told us. “To finish it out, we did a lot of the work ourselves but hired out electrical and plumbing, HVAC, etc. All in we came in a bit over $60,000.”
“We still love the size, we love the ease of living here,” Beth said. “We still enjoy a generally uncluttered life. Having a small home with very little overhead has allowed us to pursue a simpler life and to walk away from ‘corporate,’ which was one of our goals.”
Home Depot’s Tiny Home Kits
Priced at $23,592, the Sea Breeze kit creates a 366-square-foot tiny home. It has space for a bathroom, laundry area, an open kitchen and dining area with a high ceiling and a living area that can alternate between a bedroom and a lounge. If you want more space, you can add a deck and even a loft for an additional cost.
You can choose from a variety of siding colors once you place your order. You can also expand the floor by adding decking that is wide enough for outdoor furniture.
While large enough for a small living space, it can also be turned into a home office or guest house if you’d prefer to just have it on your property without using it as a full-time residence.
