Tonight on Building Roots, Ben and Cristi Dozier helped a retired firefighter and his wife, Kevin and Candance Woodard, renovate their tiny home where they lived with their 3 daughters.
The house had no empty area. The bed in the master bedroom took up a lot of space. There were a lot of doors in the home, making it outdated. The client asked Ben and Cristi to add a bathtub to the kitchen.
The client asked the Doziers to renovate the house as a modern mountain home with an inbuilt home office. The kitchen was tiny for five people. The girl’s room was big but lacked style. The main issue with the house was that there was just one bathroom very far away from the rooms near the garage.

The duo built a private entrance to the bedroom, making it more personal. They added more area to the kitchen by installing a floating live edge dining system eight and a half inch long wooden slab. They also updated the mudroom by adding more space and adding a tub.
They gave the house a warm, cozy look by adding a shed between the home and the garage, adding 400 square feet of space. The Doziers then installed a connecting glass door from the living room to the kitchen to add a family unit to the home.
The Building Roots couple used patterned wall tiles to decorate the home. Using the peel and stick color options and decided to go with teal color as it gave the home a warm look. The duo then added black and brown contrast wood tiles across the floorboard. They then added a hot tub to the home as Kevin loved these in his youth.
They kept the family wooden furnace and redecorated it using a mine wall and knobby heads, preserving the original texture of the home.
Kevin and Candice loved the home. Candice started to cry after looking at the house and said,
"That looks gorgeous."
Their youngest daughter was astonished by the eventual turnout of her room and said,
"I didn't know it could look this good."
