I Bought an Abandoned Tiny House

I converted an abandoned building into my first (tiny) home.
Here's the full process of that renovation.

In 2020, I bought my first home... an abandoned building in my village which was filled with old car parts and tools. Over the next year, I had the building renovated into a nice little tiny house cottage which I now live in and am very pleased with! I hope you enjoyed the process.

As a architectural student this is so satisfying to see. Love what you did with the space. I wish that transforming older buildings for new purposes was done more often instead of demolishing them.

[@lindamaldonado6807]

Me too! So much more character! More interesting than same, same housing projects.

[@Nikephorus]

Agreed. Older buildings have so much character and new construction is just ...boring to look at if I'm being honest. Glad this little building was saved and turned into a home.

[@Naivuren]

I the city I was born we have a terrible problem with people destroying or "accidentally" burning down old buildings because if they get officially registered as historical within the law, any renovations have to abide by the traditional methods in wich the building was made in the first place. Sadly, this means that most of the people that live in these older estates, who tend to be of lower income in the first place (most of the city is banana farmers), would not have the money to keep living/fixing their own homes. So it's really common for a building to burn down after it starts getting considered for a historical certification. A lot of the really old german-style buildings the city had around 30 years ago are gone, and it really saddens me, but I can't really fault the people, I get upset at the laws and think the governmet should be paying for restaurations in case the owners can't, to avoid this sort of thing.

[@Eagle_Owl2]

@@Naivuren I live in a house which was built in 1596. But I only rent the appartement, I would never buy it. The windows are a pain in the ass because they HAVE to be wood and have to have a certain look. Sure, they look cool, but they don't insulate very well and are not really practical. The stairs are also pretty...idk, crooked? I don't care, but I also can't see old people living in an appartement upstairs. And even the owners of the building are not allowed to change any of this. I like my appartement and it's cozy, but I wouldn't like to be responsible for it and the house itself.

[@ThePhotoshopExpress]

I believe it would be better to restore them, not to 'rebuild' with the modern touch but to get back to the original look in order to preserve the history

[@esenaboxaki]

I love the coffee-table. You've got limited space so the transparent table makes the living room feel less cluttered, like you've still got more space.

[@freespiritable]

I have the same issue now and was looking for a coffee table, your idea is great actually 🤗

Me too. Love the tiny touches of pink in an otherwise very neutral masculine home

[@cherylh4688]

I totally agree about the coffee table. I think it works perfectly in the space, including the slight bit of color. What a cozy, charming space you created for yourself! Great job!!

[@ANTAlex-pe9li]

And it adds some color to the room

[@robbalinski1606]

Very well put, the carpet also complements the table and couch as a set piece.

[@joetrimble7953]

I love the glass table. I would turn it 180 degrees so the accent color is seen through the clear part, and the sunlight would stream through the colored glass and fall onto the rug. The rug is fine. I love your bedroom choices for color and scale of furniture. You created a wonderful home full of charming spaces. I love the bookcase.

[@awgkybawda2199]

the rug could be larger encompassing the entire couch on the back of the rug. will make it warmer when on the couch

[@lethfuil]

PERSONALLY(!) the table was one of only two things I really didn't like. xD I already hate glass tables and I also absolutely don't like tables with edges that just...fall down. Second thing was the square toilet.

[@dutchy4830]

[@jah-leah]

[@shiranduarte]

It's adorable. The glass table, by being translucent, kinda transparent, allows it for the light to go through and make the space look clearer and roomier. I would call it a perfect choice.

[@TMCremixes]

I agree, I think the peach table is such a nice match with the pillows in the background and it just brightens up that room. A simple grey table would have made the room look really boring. Personally I'd swap out the rug for one without a pattern, as it's a small space so I'd be comfortable with a bit less going on. Other than that, looks amazing!

[@superdave8248]

I'd have gone a different approach. Recycle the wood from the original sliding door. Do a rustic table.

[@clorox1676]

@@TMCremixes To be honest I think that pattern is sparce enough to not be a problem. A solid one would look good too, but not sure if significantly better. I think it's nice, as it draws attention to it without being "LOOK AT MY BOLD PATTERN" kinda rug. Considering other deco elements are very neutral, I think the pattern gives the room a little personality and interest.

[@TMCremixes]

@@clorox1676 that's just the thing though. The deco elements being neutral make the place not "come at you" so much. It lets it breathe.

Man you really did a good job. I love how you kept the exterior as it is as possible with a touch of modern interior. Love it.

[@Alexx120493]

I love that you were allowed to fix it with modern materials. Here in Germany there are thousands of properties in terrible condition that no one is willing to buy or even get for free because they are landmarked. That means that you need an army of historians to go through your property and they decide how you have to restore it. That means getting period correct reclaimed bricks, wood truces and roof shindles, no modern windows etc

[@SkySilver777]

on one hand I understand the sentiment bc its important to try and preserve historic landmarks, but there should definitely be a middle ground. it would be better to put the old houses to better use rather than consume more resources to build brand new places imo. but where I live you see somewhat of the opposite where beautiful historic sites gets torn down and they build a gas station or a parking lot. so I think we gotta have some give and take when it comes to this.

[@leroyjenkins2639]

@@SkySilver777 i definitely have respect for people who renovate historical sites but at some point if the governing entity wants to keep it as a historical site, they should be the ones in charge of ownership and maintenance. No offense to historians but if I buy a property even with historical significance, it’s my property and I’m doing what I want with it. If they wanted it kept the way it was or renovated a certain way then they shouldn’t have sold it🤷🏻‍♂️

[@giannisperdikelis3488]

You should thank your country for that law. Here in Greece where you were encouraged to build whatever you want, people destroyed their old beautiful houses to build the ugliest apartment buildings ever. Greece is filled with them.

[@filipester]

The same thing also happens in Brazil, so people just let the places rot and fall apart to be able to sell the property that’s left

[@Serai3]

I think Spain hit a happy medium when their government put a stop to all the tearing down of historical buildings. They made a law saying you could gut the inside if you had to, but the outside had to stay in original form. Thus a lot of the "antique" buildings you can still find there are actually quite modern on the inside, but the city gets to keep its cultural character.

Fabulous job transforming the space and your tastes are spot on. I love the clear to pink fade coffee table but agree that you should turn it 180 degrees to have the window light shine through the pink end.

[@nancylowry5673]

First of all, this was strangely wholesome and I loved all the little witty comments and the part with the frog. Second of all, I absolutely love this house. This is literally the type of house that I'd consider my dream home. It's not too big, cozy, efficient and it's beautifully built. I love the view and the village is beautiful. It looks like a stunning and comfortable place to live.

[@adambernache3210]

First time I've been actually jealous over something, being a Native American wanting to travel abroad I always wanted to buy a property like this. I love how you restored and added cobble work to keep the culture and integrity of the area.

[@marlysblanche4270]

Wow nice bones!

[@Harrington2323]

In Germany you have to make the renovation similar in style to the era for listed monuments. I think its the same for our former EU partners on the islands.😁 A friend of mine renovated an old farm building an had to build in a second new door because the first was to modern in style. 8000€ for the trash.

[@IvaanCroatia]

We got plenty of small houses like this in Croatia, but the issue is the material and renovation cost, it's like x10 than the price of the property itself. Also what Marc said, you are required to keep the windows, doors and the facade "in style" with the village, you can't have a modern solar house in a village with old historical buildings (makes sense).

The glass table in your living area looks fine. It works with the light, whereas a solid surface would interrupt the flow and perhaps make the small space look cluttered. It also picks out the colours in the fabrics around the window.

[@hotchilly1000]

I agree. its a lovely pop of colour, nice and soft to so not to distract. Its a lovely wee home.

[@ilavalolipop]

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

I would just try turning the table around so the pink is closer to the window. I think in the light it will have better visual impact and open up the center of the room better.

[@marshamoore8385]

I love the subtle color of the coffee table, I agree with a commenter who said turn it the other way so the colored end is closer to the window, the rug is fine but you might find it’s too light (showing dirt more easily) for the living area. I really appreciate what you did with this lovely old building.

[@ravent3016]

The table is a good idea - the glass adds some warm color and the clear material makes the space look bigger. The rug is fine. I might choose one with more color to brighten up the room, but neutral is fine. Your cottage is cozy and charming.. :)

[@konradlangwald7082]

Really fine job. But I do have a comment - the building was damp and with internal insulation and no information on the cause of this problem (roof, foundations?) will the damp not stay in the walls?

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

@@konradlangwald7082 Yes it Might. In this cases you need to isolate the house from the problem. If there is a stream nearby, groundwater, u need to identify it, correct it by diverging the direction from the house and making the foundations water proof. If not , expensive solutions you can even add inside the walls electric system to heat the walls. usually building a "pool" system around the house will help. The roof is new right, so it wont be through there.

The glass table versus wood or metal makes your room seem so much bigger. I love the contrast of peach to clear. I personally think the carpet is perfect. It goes with your couch so well. Love what you did with this house

For anyone wondering, wild frogs live an average of 2 to 10 years. Domesticated frogs can live up to 20 years, and toads have been known to live double that amount. So I'm sure mister or misses frog is doing just fine, especially in that area.
