Aniah spilled the beans about her hippie hope after a viewer commented quite astutely that she ‘lives in a f**king shed.’
The shed looks absolutely adorable though, with stone walkways and plenty of gorgeous plants and greenery. Aniah has decorated her space with posters, tapestry draped on the ceiling, countless plants in aesthetically pleasing pots, floating shelves, and ornaments to make it feel like a home.
She has an entryway door on the side of the shed which she uses to access her home that is roughly the size of a small studio apartment.
Although it may seem small, it appears to be a decent amount of space for one person.

The only things she doesn’t have In her home is a bathroom and kitchen, but she confirmed in the comments that she just uses the ones in her parents’ house which is only a few steps away.

“'So, yeah. That's my shed,” she proudly declared at the end of her tour. The video has proven to be very popular with over 1.5 million views logged.
Lots of commenters were concerned about the ‘bug situation’, however, Aniah squashed the fears about creepy crawlies and said they’re hardly an issue.
"Honestly, I don't have an issue with spiders or mosquitoes or flies,” she shared. “I have the door and the window open right now, and there is not a single fly in here. I do have to be concerned about leaving food out, though, because of ants.”
