A series of tiktok wrappings from just_a_glimpse detects transformation from poured home worthy for HGTV.
Viral videos have accumulated over 8 million views and tens of thousands of comments from admiring fans.
“I mean, I love it!” screams one. “But it is sad that this is what we have achieved because buying a home is almost impossible now.”
How to build a house from a spill
In 2021, Dawn Cook, a grandmother living in the birth of Tennessee, passed from 18-by-36-by-21 legs sitting in the Home Depot parking lot while she was shopping with her husband.
“They had this two -storey spill with a small porch on it,” Cook recalls on Realtor.com®. “We got inside her and I said,” Are you kidding me? “”
Shed with two stories was from the Sundance Tuff Shed TR-1600 series.
Cook, a former real estate agent who had already arranged some of her homes, plus a trailer with a wide range that would be sold, immediately without the potential.
She and her husband, Richard, decided to add some updates to the shed and pay $ 27,000 for the shell.
The Coupleifti also owned an empty land parcel sitting on the Douglas Lake in Dandridge, TN, with which they wanted to do something with him.
With her mind about her husband’s design and enthusiasm for construction, she knew the pair could turn the plane into something special.
“Everything I want to do, my husband will make it happen,” she says. “He just got that brain.”
But the couple also know their border. Tuff poured prejudiced most interior and the two balconies and the Spanish courtyard. The Cook’s floor plan was everything in her head.
“I would tell them, I put the window 2 meters from the door,” she says.
Coupleifti, who do not have official construction training, employed professionals for the Crawl Space Foundation, Electric foam, Lead and Spray Foundation. Lot already had a well and septic tank. One builder assured that everything was up to the county house code.
“Shome” (the combination of “shed” and “home”) ended with two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, two balconies, a full kitchen with a range of gas and a large sunken island, laundry laundry and a large Spanish courtyard.
DIY street to turn a spill into a house
The elegant but the home interior is the vision of Cook, a look she calls “a mixture of the house on the farm and beach house – though it is in a lake”.
Where Cook could have gone with drywall for ceilings and walls, she insisted on tongues and grooves and boats.
“I made that ship all from myelf,” she says proudly. “It turned out nice, but it took a lot of time.”
Unfinished kitchen closets were stocks from Lowe’s that Cook painted Sage Green to fill Brazilian Brazilian Granite Granite Countries that it fell for their large $ 6,000 label.
“I just like what I like,” she says. “Everything came out as I saw in my head.”
Cook also found pits of vintage lobby and hobbies to janch home -inspired décor on the farm.
There are also miraculous touches such as the fish sink in a bathroom and a video game in the kitchen. The flowers are vinyl floor with personalized carpets on the stairs and upper floors to make them more children.
When a bullet a drainage line for the upper bath coming out of the kitchen wall, Richard improvised, building a bird house that matches the greenery over the stove to hide it stylishly.
Not wanting to waste any space in the 1,296 square meters, Cook added a half bath under the stairs, along with a “club” for her grandchildren.
Returning a profit to a spilled house
The cost of turning a spill into a house was approximately $ 170,000 (minus shell).
The Coupleifi lives in it for six months while performing renovation. They decided to rank it so they can move on to their future project: a barndominium.
House-House received many offers and sold for the price required at $ 460,000.
Even so, Cook thinks if she would wait six months, “I could have received an extra $ 100,000.”
She also believes the house was very low because it can only be ranked as a bedroom, despite having two, the second for the home that was in a “one -bedroom septic”.
“This hurt us in the rating,” she says. However, the location of the lake view definitely helped the popularity of the house.
Cook admits, “We make a lot of money from it.”
So did the buyer, who sold it in March 2025, closing to $ 505,000.
Regarding the fact that Cook will make a career of swine pigs into a worthy home, she laughs.
“If someone hired me, I would probably want. I know my husband and kids want me.”
Girl Amanda McCormick, who did Tiktok coils showing her mother’s work, has bigger ideas.
“I want her to get a TV show,” she says.
