TikTok user Lara (@laraloojane) showed her followers the impressive transformation.

In her Videothe influencer explained, “A year ago we bought a boat shed and turned it into our dream riverside home.”

First, she gave viewers a glimpse of what the shed looked like at first sight.

The large metal structure had a garage door and the plain interior was filled with a range of appliances and a boat.

Then Lara switched to show her audience how they transformed the space into their dream riverside home.

The garage entrance has been replaced with glass patio doors and a stove has been installed in what is now the living room.

Also, the family added a rustic kitchen and large dining area overlooking the river.

The content creator used direct comparisons to show viewers how they installed large windows throughout the building to brighten their homes.

“A bit risky and a lot of effort, but after living in 27 houses and four countries, it’s the ‘most home’ I’ve ever felt,” said Lara.

The influencer also included clips of her children playing and canoeing on the riverbank.

“A year in our boat shed at home,” the TikToker captioned the clip of her family’s trip.

TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the transformation.

“Now I want to live in a shed, this is amazing!” wrote one impressed viewer.

Another follower said: “This is my dream house, it’s beautiful.”

“That’s what I meant when I was released from MASH,” joked a third person.
