Excellent examples of beautiful backyard sheds! I always wanted a she-shed ! Much thanks to you for sharing all these inspirational shed ideas!
Very good artical. keep it up
We got the mulch for free from the tree trimmers for our electric company.
The size is 16 feet by 11 feet. It replaced my old hoop house that kept taking wind damage. It actually feels like I have twice as much room now, but the floor space is actually a few inches smaller.
hi anita, thank you so much for sharing! feel free to tag us on facebook or instagram with photos! =)
I designed my new greenhouse made from recycled windows and some cedar that my husband cut on the sawmill. I used the scrap pieces for the trim work. I have $45 and about 3 weeks of labor put into it. I absolutely love it.
I bought a gallon of exterior Dutch boy paint $5 at Menards clearance rack.
Half of the windows came from an auction for $5.
The other half from another auction for $30.
The tin for the roof was from another auction for $5.
How do you keep bugs and critters out of these things? I live in Florida and I am afraid I’ll sit on my couch only to find a big snake under me.:(
i would definitely select furniture that are very open at the bottom. here in SoCal rats can even live under covered outdoor furniture. screen doors and essential oil sprays will help with bug control. 🙂
They are all so lovely Ananda. Pinning these bits of inspiration for one day when I finally get around to building my she shed 😉
WOW who knew that a shed could be so cushy and beautiful? Pinned to my backyard dreams board 🙂
Wonderful ! I like the furniture in them. So awesome !!!
OMG> That last one is to die for. Does someone actually go in there or is it just for show. LOVE IT!
These are super cute! I love gardening and this would be a great way to garden certain crops all year round.
Be still my heart! I am in love with everything you selected! I never even considered reclaimed windows as anything other than mantel decor!
These are some really great ideas! I wish I had something like this in my house.
Wow these are gorgeous. I like the furniture in them. That’s such an inviting room to sit in. That last one the childhood dream was like a tree house for an adult and we all know we want our own treehouse.
All of these sheds(so don’t think if these as sheds:) are gorgeous and would make any backyard look fabulous. I am pinning too.
beautiful things like this make me wish that I was crafty enough to do something nice! Love the inspiration with this post. So awesome.
