Tiny homes continue to enthrall people, and for good reason, as some of them are wildly inventive. However, some people don't quite see the appeal of living in such a small space.
TikTok user Beloved Cabin (@belovedcabin) shared a video of their gorgeous tiny home created from a repurposed shed and explained their reasons for living in such a space.
@belovedcabin Why do you live in a shed?" People ask us that a lot. "Wouldn't it be better to live in a real house?" Here's the truth: We didn't have the money for a traditional home. But that didn't mean we had to give up on living the life we wanted. Just because you're broke doesn't mean you can't build your dream. It might not look like anyone else's—but that's kind of the point. This shed-turned-home, this off-grid life in the woods—it's ours. #shedtohouse #diyhome #natureathome #tinyhouse #smallhome #affordablehousing #thriftyliving ♬ Happy and Cheerful - Hendri
In the caption and the video, the OP explained, "'Why do you live in a shed?' People ask us that a lot. … Here's the truth: We didn't have the money for a traditional home. But that didn't mean we had to give up on living the life we wanted."
Fellow TikTokers were in love with the home's design.
"It's not a shed, it's an oasis of peace & comfort. This is what thriving looks like," wrote one person.
The OP's home may be only 304 square feet, but it offers its owners the opportunity to wake up to nature instead of city noise. Plus, they aren't beholden to a mortgage.

The size of a tiny home may not be for everyone, but it offers homeowners greater affordability compared to a traditional home. Tiny homes also typically require homeowners to purchase or rent land, which may not be affordable for everyone.
Because they're smaller than standard homes, tiny homes use fewer resources. When less energy and water are consumed, homeowners see significantly reduced monthly bills. Using fewer resources is also better for the environment, so homeowners are helping to create a cleaner and cooler future.
People often also save money because of the limited space in these homes. With limited storage space, homeowners must be more mindful of their purchases, opting for only what they truly need.
Those interested in switching to tiny home living can take inspiration from the OP, though, as seen in the case of the TikTok user who stated, "I've always been in love with your greenhouse kitchen so I'm finally building one."
