could this work?

So this might sound stupid or cool to you idk... I'm not even sure if it could be legal or not... but... my thought was to buy a smaller-sized home for myself and my husband and future children to live in but then make the real living spaces/activity areas that are more custom and luxurious made out of backyard sheds... yes I said sheds... I think it would be awesome to have several sheds in my backyard like a little development of sheds that just have specific functions, like a shed just for my office... to work on my website and blog, then another shed for my husband to be his workshop, then some kind of outdoor hang out type of shed and one if not more sheds for play areas for my future kids or areas they can store their toys and as they grow to change them into whatever hobbies there into. I just feel like this would be so cool! id find a nice way to lay them out and ideally have a decent amount of land, Id also want a fenced-in backyard to make it more private. my husband can do the necessary things to make a deluxe shed and you can even buy them online. it wouldn't be hard for him to run the required hookups for making them nice and able to use year-round.

Casting Inquiry

Hello,

I work with a well-established production company in Toronto, Canada.

We are filming a network-funded pilot (not for broadcast) in the Bay Area within the next two months and we’re looking for a homeowner with an over-the-top interior: think floor to ceiling zebra print, wall to wall florals or an abundant collection of something!

I wanted to know if anyone has a unique home interior (or knows anyone) who may fit this bill. We’d like to film our host (a professional interior designer) with one homeowner who has maxed out their space with their over-the-top style. Together, they’ll tour the interior and come up with a shared vision for the space. Ultimately, our host wants to help hone their interior and celebrate their individuality by bringing focus and cohesion to their décor, and present them with a design plan.

Filming will take place over one day some time in May or June.

If you or anyone you know may be interested in participating, please send me a direct message via Reddit-- and thank you for taking the time to read my inquiry!

Project Search: Upcoming House Conversions (Barns, Silos, Churches, Etc)

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to find someone that is planning an unusual house conversion (barns, churches, silos, you name it!) in the next couple of months, or is going to do one for a client. I work for a tv production company and we're hoping to film one of these projects for an upcoming series. If this sounds like you, or you know of a project like this, please DM me or shoot me an email at kathryn@luckydogfilms.com. Thank you!!

Advice: what are the actual steps for finding, assessing, purchasing, and renovating a building into an unusual home?

I've always wanted to convert something that isn't a home into a home. For example, in my area, there is a beautiful old church for sale, but it has sat vacant for 10 years. I don't even know where to begin. To even look at the property requires showing proof of financing to the realtor, but I haven't even began to talk to lenders yet because I don't know enough about the property. I imagine lenders are unable to provide helpful guidance unless they have a better idea of the renovation plans, but to go beyond ideas into financial reality I assume I would need to consult with an architect, and engineer, and perhaps realtors? I'm probably in over my head but I'm curious how other people have managed to do this. Is there a playbook/checklist/unconventional homes for dummies resource out there?
