Building & organizing my shed

Building and organizing my shed was a time consuming project, but well worth the time and effort. I needed a shed to put all my tools and yard items. So, I brought one of those pre-fab shed and had my contractor, New Island Remodeling, put it together. They did a great job as usual!!

Reading those instruction was time consuming!!

We're almost there!!

Construction is done, now the fun begins! A lot of work on my part, but worth it. I painted the inside and the outside. Why you ask? Because it  brightened up the inside, and protects the outdoor against the elements.

This shed came with two shelves! Very handy, it allowed me to store my tables and outdoor area rug. I added hooks to hang items that were large or bulky.

I added a peg board and even added a table. This allows me to use it as a small work station. 

I labeled all my items. This way when my CHILDREN use the items, they know where to PUT IT BACK!! No excuses!!

I brought these white storage cubes from Home Depot. They are great because they are plastic. I brought  six of them. They come 2 in a pack.

I brought these fabric storage bins from Target. They're called Threshold Fabric Cube. They come in different colors. They fit perfectly in those white storage cubes.

I use PVC tubing and cut them on an angle, then nailed them to wood. This allowed me to store my long items, without taking up space!

Lastly, I use these hooks to hang my ladders, hose and eventually my snow shovels!!

It's not done until I add some piazza to it!! Couldn't help myself!!

Now it's all done. It gives me lots of storage space. I'm very proud of what I accomplished on my own!! But I'm not done yet. I will be adding cement (no I will not do it), sometime in the fall. This way, there won't be such a big step getting in or out of the shed.

Think outside the box!!

Think outside the box, that is what I'm always telling myself. How can I repurpose this?  What can I use this for? So when I had three empty Harry & David Moose Munch Canisters, I decided to repurpose them.

Here is what they looked like. Nice size canister.

I sprayed painted them silver gray.

Next, I use rub-on calligraphy. I used three different styles, but you can use one style, if you prefer. I also used stickers to add some glamour. These were simple swirl stickers. It look nice enough, but it was missing something. 

Color, I wanted to add some color!! So I use this colorful scotch tape. Comes in different sizes and colors!!

This is what the finish product looks like. Not bad!! I will be putting this on my shelf in my new home!!

What do you have that you can repurpose? Remember to think outside the box!!
