So charming and useful too! I think I need 2 of these! -
I love this....can you send us photos of the inside? I would love to see the layout. -
I added the floor plan so you can see the layout. Unfortunately we only did a partial build out of the interior and someone else finished out the rest after we left. I never got interior shots. -
about what was your cost to do this -
As usual, the attention to detail in your projects is what really sets them apart, and I think you should patent your color schemes. -
Loved seeing this in Hometalk. I love tiny homes and accessory dwelling units. My only disappointment was when the ramped entry led only to storage and not the house. -
Thank you for your kind words! The original plan for this cottage had a kitchen in the storage area and a window on the side. The homeowner wanted to use it for a small shed instead, so we separated it from the main living area and built a ramp so she could get her lawn mower in and out easily. It would be easy enough to modify for the ramp to provide interior access instead. Or to build the unit on a slab instead of brick piers so it is lower to the ground - this is about 20" to finish floor height.

This is really great! We have considered building a couple of these on our property. I'm interested to know the price range. It will vary, of course, depending on materials and location, but a ballpark estimate would be great. Thanks for posting! :) -
This one has a more expensive foundation and a metal roof upgrade, but came in about $26,000 when finished.

love it....how much to build...and what types of materiel did you use -
I love this -
Very cute, Try putting wood chips or mulch around the base of the shed to avoid dirt splash up from the rain. I did & it looks much cleaner. -
u know I want an outdoor kitchen house this would be perfect thank you for the idea -
I LOVE this!! What an adorable cottage! -
This was built out of #2 Southern yellow pine framing and PT set on real brick piers. The siding and trim are all cypress. We used Hurd wood windows. It has a 5-V crimp metal roof. It is fully insulated and is cooled by a small wall unit. For the times when you need heat in Tampa, a space heater is adequate. The owner opted for a full tub in the bath - I never saw the finishes she chose for the bath. The flooring in the main space is a dark laminate.

I love this guest cottage, if it had a kitchen or at least a kitchenette and another bedroom I'd live in it all the time!!!! -
Love this, could be a great idea for a elderly relative to have their own private space in your yard close to you.
