If you read House Beautiful, you know we are slightly obsessed with finding and recommending DIY builds that our readers can convert into their own personal sanctuaries. Some of our hot finds include the "solitude" shed, a "granny pod" called the Rose Cottage, and a giant barn named Goliath. This week, we went on the hunt for more unique tiny homes that captured our attention and came upon one every Yellowstone fan will love: Wayfair's "Ranchhouse" Cedar Wood Storage Shed. In case you weren't aware, Wayfair sells a good selection of little standalone structures, from run-of-the-mill storage sheds to quaint little cottages to all-glass solariums.
Made by Cedarshed, "Ranchouse" has a 100 percent Western Red Cedar exterior and comes with pre-built walls, two windows, double doors, and roof panels for easy assembly. It measures 16 feet wide and is about 10 feet high, so you don't have to duck and feel constrained when you walk into the abode. Like most tiny homes on Wayfair, this water-resistant structure has extra features including a flower box, ventilation, and floors. It also ships for free, which is a big selling point.
We're already thinking of all the ways one can spruce up this tiny ranch home once it is built. Since there's a little porch area out front, you can add a small bistro table (we like this one from Amazon) to create some seating. It would be a nice spot to read and sip your morning coffee or hang out with your neighbor over a glass of wine. Once inside, you have about 1,216.75 cubic feet of space to work with. If you want to turn this into an extension of a living room, you can certainly add a sofa, some accent chairs, and a coffee table. This shed could become a painter's studio for the creatives, while for the fitness gurus, this tiny home could be your own quiet workout space. Or, fill it with bunk beds and turn it into a freestanding guest room! The empty one-floor room is yours to design and fill up however you like!
As ADUs become more popular (they can boost your home's value!), we can't imagine a better place to start than with a ranch-style build. Of course, this look might not suit everyone's design eye, and we totally get that, so if you're still on the hunt for more special spaces, check out the other cool tiny structures we found below.
