This man bought a shed for 14,500 yen and transformed it into a beautiful home. He used his own ideas and creativity to create a luxurious décor, a spacious living room, kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, and a mix of recycled and handmade elements. Let’s take a look inside!
From a $145 shed to a highly praised home
When Richard came across this shed with a collapsed roof, it seemed beyond repair. But an idea struck him and he bought it without hesitation and immediately got to work on renovating it.
A new start
Richard’s first action was to completely dismantle the shed. Instead of trying to repair the wobbly structure, he decided to start from scratch using the strong materials that were still in use. Clever idea!
Shape it
After six months of hard work, the shed is slowly coming together. Here’s a sneak peek at the amazing final result!
Dream Home
This dingy old shed has been beautifully transformed into a cosy hideaway, and once you’ve stepped inside you’ll be amazed by its fantastic new layout.
Living Space
Upon entering the room, the living space is furnished with two sofas, and wooden accents infuse the entire area with rustic charm, including the dining area in the corner.
kitchen
The kitchen has plenty of storage space to keep everything neatly organized. From the fridge to the wooden window frames, this space evokes nostalgia for simpler times.
Dining Nook
A few steps from the restaurant will take you straight to the dining area, where you’ll find a quaint dining spot by the window, bathed in sunlight and offering a cosy atmosphere.
Second floor bedroom
The attic on the second floor feels incredibly warm and cozy, and the sloping ceiling gives a sense of privacy and coziness without making the space feel cramped.
Restroom
In keeping with the home’s overall aesthetic, Atkin opted for a cozy feel in the bathroom, and interestingly, different shades of brown beautifully complement the vibrant white.
