Shed Makeover

This is a makeover I completed on my shed. I'm very happy with how it turned out considering what we started with.

    This was our yard when we moved in in 2003. It took us years to fix up the yard and we painted the shed a barn red temporarily.

    I decided I wanted something better. Here is the result. We added old windows to the front and window boxes.

    In order to save shelf space inside, we added faux windows on the side. They add interest without sacrificing any space.

    I have a shed on the same order as this; however, it is not so great looking on the outside. I painted the walls, draped fabric from the ceiling and carpeted part and vinyl by the door. It has a window air conditioner in it, a small fridge and my 60 year old little girl bed, same mattress and all. Also, a small cupboard my grandpa made me when I was young. I call it my bunkhouse and when I have an overflow of company, I am just thrilled to go out there to nest. This gives me inspiration for the exterior. Thank you!

    BEAUTIFUL feature to your backyard. I also like the privacy it gives you from your neighbors without your patio being all enclosed. Great JOB!!!

    Absolutely lovely. Love the "barn" door effect, window boxes and the general area with the hostas, cafe table and chairs gives everything a very comfortable feeling if sitting out in the area of a shed. Love the whole area!!

    Great look. Isn't is fun to "dress" up something rather bland & make it shine!!!

    Your shed went from eye sore to eye candy...........a new focal point for your back yard. You had to be smiling the entire time you were investing sweat equity on that project, and for good reason!! Looks great!

    Thank you all!

    Monika D, My parents gave me all 4 windows that they bought at a yard sale somewhere. 2 were installed like normal windows and for the faux-windows, I just painted the back of the glass and attached them directly to the shed.
