Why they embarked on the renovation
Having a home to call your own is so important, even more so when you have children who need a safe space to grow in. This is precisely why this family started searching for their own space.

They had a tight budget
With a tight budget, the couple took on most of the renovation work themselves, including installing partition walls, adding windows, and restoring the roof.
Katy and Michael have two daughters; Carolina, 7, and Harper, 3. The four now live happily in the beautifully renovated shed. The shed sits on 70 acres of land in Fayetteville, Texas, which they inherited from Michael's grandparents.
"We thought the shed was the perfect thing to fix up and make into a tiny home, where we could live while saving up some money so we can have money for the forever house," Krebs said.
Photos were shed on Facebook by Katy, showing off their gorgeous forever home. It is absolutely stunning!
