After owning this shed for about a year, we finally made it look less like a big, grey box. We actually ordered the shed with white trim, but there was a mixup and we didn’t think it was worth it to send it back.
This was one of those projects that was nice to do, but not really essential, so we didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it. Reusing materials in every home project I do is also really important to me, so we attempted to use what we had.
For those of you that want the hot goss, here’s the details and the money breakdown:
- Lights were reclaimed from my in-law’s fishing shack that was being torn down.
- Metal that we put under the porch was reclaimed from my neighbor who was moving.
- Mulch was leftover from our garden earlier in the year.
- Wood around the plants is from a tree another neighbor cut down.
- Wood for the ramp, paint, brushes, stain and plants were purchased for about $275. Not too bad, if I do say so myself.
Reusing items is really important to me and I love a project that doesn’t cost too much money, but has a big impact.
