  1. Excellent examples of beautiful backyard sheds! I always wanted a she-shed ! Much thanks to you for sharing all these inspirational shed ideas!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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. 🙂

  5. 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.

  6. Oh! I love! It’s my dream … A green housse,a glass housse,submerge in the nature,no break up between onside and outside…Imagine into wilde and silence forest you open your eyes with beauty snow, and does and birds… A cup of tea in a romantic glass housse…I love.. You are one withe the nature..
    Thank’s for my dream Ananda..

    Tenderness…
