Woman has 'eyesore' garage on her property – remodels it into a dreamy sanctuary
Minimalism is becoming a very popular trend, people are wising up to the anxiety that having too much stuff can bring. This woman lived on a property with a main house and an old garage, so she remodeled the garage for herself and rented out the bigger home. The completed project only cost her $32k and took less than a year to build.
She really went all out on this garage!
It only took this woman 9-months to turn her old garage into a stunning tiny house filled with convenience
Michelle de la Vega was living on her property with the main house and an old detached garage when she realized she didn’t need such a big living space.
She decided to transform the detached garage into a tiny home with all the amenities, which enabled her to rent out the main house.
“When I bought this property it had two structures., the main house, and then it had this little tiny garage. So I rented out the main house and remodeled the garage.” Said Vega.
The remodeled garage has everything Michelle needs, and more
Equipt with a sleeping loft and day bed, Michelle now has two places to rest her head after a long day. Whether she wants to climb up the latter for a good night’s rest or plop down on the day bed, she definitely won’t be missing any sleep.
There’s a beautiful kitchen, with looks that are matched by efficiency
Michelle put a stainless steel counter that has a camping stovetop, a detached sink, floating shelves that create space when storing her dishes. There’s also a mini-fridge that has plenty of room for everything she needs, along with more shelves for storing below.
She has brilliant storage lockers that work as closets
Wanting to keep the clutter down, Michelle got awesome storage-lockers that she hangs all her clothes and stores all her shoes.
Michelle has a bathroom that was built on to the garage
Obviously, you need a bathroom to be comfortable in any home, so the intelligent minimalist added a bathroom onto the garage. Since it was an addition, she made it roomier than the rest of the remodel.
The bathroom has a full-size tub, sink, and toilet, along with some gorgeous decor.
“I thought, ‘well, as long as I’m building a new bathroom, I might as well make it a little bit bigger’. And I love my bathtub, it’s kind of my sanctuary.” Vega explained.
Michelle focuses on a low-cost lifestyle
She grows her own food, uses an efficient wood-stove, and uses second-hand decore that she sometimes makes herself. Michelle also keeps the clutter down by getting rid of stuff when she brings new things home.
“I really love living in 250 sq ft., it’s a creative lifestyle. I like the process of continually having to decide what is essential to me and what isn’t.” Michelle told the FYI Television Network.
Michelle is the perfect example of somebody using only what they need as a lifestyle, it’s much less stressful and can help your creativity soar. Without the common everyday distractions, your brain can focus on only the things that you love to do.
