The family converts the garage into a beautiful tiny home for Grandma so she can live close by
All pots, pans, plates, and other utensils are placed in hanging racks which are also perfect for drying.

The stairs leading up the bedroom were also designed to be space-saving.
It has alternating tread stairs, so it can cover the entire height without using a huge space. We just hope Grandma can utilize this one for a long time!

Martin also ensured that the home would still have a reminder of its old structure.
The home’s exterior is still the same as its original 1920s-style garage and was only made modern with the new paint.

It’s an amazing tiny home that might have you considering it as an option for your parents, in-laws, or perhaps yourself!
