The She Shed: Part 1

When we decided upon Pine Cone Lane, it was because of the property and the outbuildings on it- the pole barn, garden shed, playground, and large storage shed. That large storage shed is undergoing a transformation into a She Shed - the answer to the Man Cave.

During move-in week, the storage shed was a holding place for anything not going into the house. It stayed that way for five months, then last month I began the unenviable job of culling through its contents.

Anything related to gardening was taken down to the garden shed located next to the defunct garden area. Anything else was shoved to the side of the storage shed until I could build a closet to house it all.

Next the ceiling was removed from the front of the shed. Thank you, James, for doing the demo!! I left the ceiling in the rear of the shed as it created a loft area above the soon-to-be-created closet. I also thought Olive might want to sleep out in the loft when she gets older.

I framed out the walls on either side of an area for a door and finished them off with plywood walls.

The closet is about 4 feet deep with a wide door giving us easy access to anything inside. I'm not sure yet how I will close/cover the door; I'll have to spend some time on Pinterest checking out my options.

Next...windows!!

Until tomorrow,

Shelli
