Outdoor Living Repurposing & Upcycling

A rustic shed made from reclaimed lumber

A little green house in my backyard received a facelift. The plastic was replaced with repurposed fencing boards captured from another's burn pile, a few barn windows, then the decorating began. Junky relics were added to create a fun focal point which now houses firewood.

This shed is part of a 4 part series showing the entire build. Lots more to see!

    All the rustic bling makes for a fun focal point in the backyard. The white planter box use to be a firetruck parts crate. A couple pallets offer a front step and side...

    The before. The lovely cow mural was hand painted by a friend, which now is safely in storage until it lands a new location.

    Odds and sods were used to create a door. The wreath is made from canning jar lids.

    Junky relics chime in well with bright red geraniums.

    @KMS - now that was interesting and fun! Thanks for sharing that link. It's just phenominal all the old things that no one thought was worth anything, have now become collectors items. If you've ever watched "Pickers" w/Frank & Mike, they go totally nuts over old gas pumps and some of them have had BIG price tags, even when in really rough condition. Who knew???

    Sandra T...most small (less than 120 sq ft) axillary buildings are exempt from "building code" parameters.

    Everytime I look at this I think "Boy, I sure wouldn't be just storing wood in there" Nope, that would HAVE to be my get away place!! Firewood can be stacked somewhere else, thank you!!
