Step 10

This is the inside of the main garden shed.  Remember that I have 10ft ceiling and then the rafters go up another 6ft.
This is the outside of the back.  Lots of old tin, old cedar and some of that found siding.  the men continue on and I can't wait for it to be done!!!!

Step 9

Continued to the top with the old cedar boards.  Makes it look so rustic and shabby chic.  Added the lattace board to the right.  This area will be for storage of my wood crafts, sanding, hammering, drilling, etc.
The start of my craft work area.  The sign is from my gift shop, The Copper Rooster.  The tall set of windows open.  Notice the 2 doors on the right.  Again, they were from my aunts' cabin.  Used old tin on the bottom.

Step 8

Moving on to the main shed.  The red door goes in and some beautiful old ceiling tiles as decorative touches on the bottom wall.  The 2 outside tiles were given to me by another friend.  Sergio is thinking about how in the world is he going to put in the windows.
Window are in.  Both windows on each side of the front door will open!  Love all the OLD CEDAR FENCING as my outside wall.  Had to save that pile of wood several times.  Hubby kept wanting to throw it away!  Can you image that?  I have some really good junk saved up in his barn.  I keep telling him I have a vision and that it all can be used for something.  I don't think he believed me....but LOOK!!!!!

Step 7

The tin is on the main roof now and the first window is put in.  You should of seen my HAPPY DANCE!  I was posting these same pictures on Facebook for my friends to watch.  I love all the comments.  Most were saying it was HUGE that it was a cottage and they could live in it.  Well, possibly true, at least I won't have to add on later. (maybe)

The hardest part was deciding how the windows would be arranged on top.  I'm sure the guys building my shed were thinking I was crazy, but it looks pretty awesome!!!  Those free windows I picked up are great in the greenhouse side.  I can open almost every window.  That will be great in the summer months with over 100 degree weather.
The view from inside the greenhouse side.  I'm picturing a complete jungle in there right now and all these seedlings to fill my yard.  Come on Spring!!!

Step 6

Green poly put up on the greenhouse side of my garden shed.  Looks so cool.  Have to work on creating a window of some sort to let the heat out in the summer months.

Step 5

Even as the garden shed is being built, I keep stumbling upon windows.  A great friend, Georgia, saw  windows and siding being taken off a house in town.  I quickly drove to the house and asked what they were doing with them.  The owner told me I could HAVE all I wanted.  A couple of trips later and help of another friend and my son, I got them home.  The windows were still in casings and workable.  What a treasure!

Step 4


By the second weekend, the guys have framed out the greenhouse, work area and front porch area that are connected to the main garden shed.  Yes, it is huge.  Who am I to tell my husband NO, that's too big.  I am so impressed that he took my vision (that was only in my head) and converted it into reality.
