My parents’ house was too small for 5 kids so they turned the garden shed into my bedroom, it was freezing but I love it

A WOMAN has shared a glimpse of the tiny shed her parents turned into her bedroom. Megsie, from the UK, revealed her parents were now selling their house so it was the perfect opportunity to show off her tiny home. In the garden lay two sheds adjacent to each other, one for her and another for her sister to live in while they were teenagers.

Megsie explained: " These are what I refer to as the shed. My parents prefer the term Log Cabin. "And growing up, these are mine and my sister's bedroom. "I have four younger sisters and I'm one out of 5, so my parents had to come up with very creative ways as to where we're all gonna sleep.".

Megsie said she had lived at home for three years after moving to London but fondly remembers her time living in a shed. The room had a large double bed, wardrobe and desk for Megsie to get ready in. They double-glazed the windows and carpeted the floor but didn't bother to insulate the walls as they preferred the look of the wood which left the shed freezing in the winter.
She added: "It's obviously got electric and then the heating runs off oil heaters without the insulation I will be honest, it did get a little bit chilly. "But as a teenager, having my own space, separated from the rest of the house, was worth any sacrifice I had to make.".
Megsie revealed that if she needed the bathroom she had to head back into their main house as there was no running water in the shed. She also remembers there being lots of spiders that would join her. Since Megsie moved out and waved goodbye to her childhood home, the sheds have been turned into storage rooms.
