Woman Transformed Tiny Shed Into Cozy Family Home – Take A Look Inside

From the outside, it’s obvious that Jori Wilkinson’s shed is not the kind you’d buy to store tools or a lawnmower. Still, you probably won’t be prepared for just how amazing the inside actually is. The young mom and her husband have transformed the wooden shell into a beautiful family home – and what they’ve created may well inspire you to do the same.

Shed life

Jori and her husband, Gage, share this idyllic space with their young son, Kash. Three people in a small shed sounds pretty cramped, right? But they’ve been there since early 2018, proving that you don’t need a giant house to raise a family. But precisely how small are we talking here?

Super small

Well, the shed is roughly 400 square feet. To put that into context, the Statista website states that the average American family home in 2019 was just over 2,300 square feet. So, yeah, the Wilkinsons’ home really is quite tiny!

Fairytale greenhouse

Still, the family has used their limited space to great effect. They’ve even attached a haven-like greenhouse complete with fairy lights and hammocks. Sounds like the perfect place to chill, if you ask us! All in all, it’s a pretty cool setup. But the Wilkinsons’ reasons for trading in their old life may be different from what you’d expect.

Letting go of their old life

Jori wrote a lengthy Instagram post explaining their decision in 2017 – when she and her husband were still in the process of fixing up their shed. And in the message, the mom revealed what had happened to the family’s old property and why they’d decided to start such a project.
