Turning a Negative into a Positive - The Garden Shed

The property had several ugly unfinished structures - this "shed" was one of them. Apparently it was originally just some plywood pieces to cover the previous owner's boat. Over time, he added on to it and finally enclosed it with old pieces of misc. wood, fiberglass garage doors as walls and plastic sheeting for a roof. It was quite hideous - inside & out.

We ripped down about 1/3 of the front of the structure (since it impeded on the garage entrance), rebuilt the front and added some recycled old windows and doors purchased at a Habitat for Humanity store. We also added a small entry deck and then shingled the roof and added vinyl siding to coordinate with the house.
What a dramatic difference! A cute garden shed to add much needed charm to the property.
