A 19-YEAR-OLD and her boyfriend have bought a “shed” and are on a mission to turn it into the ultimate tiny home.
Elly Bewley explained that she and her partner Briggs, also 19, paid £12,000 for the shell of their tiny home.
Since getting their home, the couple have installed a bathroom that is something you’d expect to find in a posh resort.
Posting on social media, Elly gave her followers a close-up look at her tiny home, leaving many totally stunned.
Tiny homes have become all the rage recently thanks to their purse-friendly price tags, minimalist style and sustainability.
They also offer buyers the chance to get a foot on the property ladder without having to fork out for a wallet-draining mortgage.
Showing off her new home, which arrived on wheels, the content creator beamed: “So we bought the shell of our tiny home back in November of 2023 – it is 14 x 40 foot and it cost us around $16,000 [£12,060].”
She then explained: “The first thing we did when we got the shell of our tiny home is framing – framing probably cost around $750 [£565] when you add the wood, nails and things like that.”
Luckily, the couple, who live on a piece of rural land in a small town in the US, are able to save cash on renovation costs as they are taking on the DIY project of renovating the tiny home themselves – and with a helping hand from loved ones.
Elly continued: “We are doing most of the manual labour on our own with the help of friends and family, so thankfully, that’s not costing us.
“We decided since the house is so small already, we didn’t wanna make a whole bunch of walls, so we only framed in a bathroom and a closet.”
In another video, Elly gave users a look at her newly installed bathroom, which is complete with granite counter tops and amazing pebble flooring.
