A generous US couple decided to convert their garage into a small home for their daughter and grandson. They’re letting them stay there rent-free to help them save money.
In a video shared on her @peachy.palms._ account, the woman provided a walkthrough of the garage renovation project. She unveiled the process of turning the space into two bedrooms and a small kitchen. She wrote, “We managed to fit a whole apartment of furniture into this small space.”
The grandma showed how they put in a big bed, sofa, table, desk, and decorations to make it comfy. Even though they didn’t have much space, they added a small kitchen in the same area. She said that there’s a fridge, microwave, air fryer and coffee machine, but her daughter can use the main house if she wants to cook something fancier.
The mom and grandson weren’t the only ones sharing the garage space; Eugene the cat was also there, snoozing comfortably on the sofa as if he owned the place. She said, “This is how their little sanctuary looks now.” They used Ikea units to create a dividing wall between the two-bedroom areas.
“Shae is great at organizing and found a way to fit all their stuff into crates and baskets, which looks fantastic.” On the other side of the Ikea storage unit, grandson Beau had his space with a curtain added for privacy. He has a loft bed, which is perfect for making room underneath for a desk and storage. The woman added, “Beau’s room with his loft bed, toy storage, beanbag and weird toys.”
The garage didn’t have a bathroom, but the grandma explained they had to use the ones in the main house because there was no plumbing. People praised the grandma for what she did. The grandma responded, “That’s right, I would never let my kids be homeless.” Another person commented, “You’ve done such a great job – you should be proud.”
Last year, it was revealed that three out of every ten adults are having trouble feeding their families because of the high cost of living in the US. A study conducted by cereal maker Kellogg’s uncovered that many people in Britain are facing financial challenges.
