BEFORE |
Friday after work I got started on cleaning out the pile of junk that was my shed. Over the past decade it's been a place to stash any junky thing that we didn't want in the house. Mostly tools and old gardening products.

Building a folding table |
There are 2 shelving units mounted in the shed. The space between the units is just wide enough to make a work table. In all the shed is 8' x 10'. That's not a lot of space! So a folding work table is idea to conserve floor space.
Using scrap 2x4's, I constructed the wall supports for the table. I attached a piece of scrap wood to the mounts.

DAY 3 - Ceiling Fabric
Instead of painting the ceiling I decided to drape it with fabric. By fabric I mean 2 king size bed sheets from Wal Mart.

With no rhyme or reason I just kept stapling until the ceiling was covered and I was out of sheet.

DAY 4 - Shelving and Floors
My plan was to paint the shelves bright yellow. The edges of the shelves took the paint. The inside of the shelves absorbed the paint. So, plan B, I covered the inside of the shelves with fabric.

Finally, the floors
Almost from the beginning of this project I knew what I wanted to do with the floors.

Foam Tile Wood Floors |
I wanted the floors to be something soft and fun. Something that I could sit or stand on comfortably. The wood print foam tiles were the most expensive part of this project, but they're TOTALLY worth the expense.

My she shed is FAR from complete, but so far so good.

Update
I designed this space so that I could enjoy a peaceful moment alone once in a while. What I've discovered is that I mostly use it for crafting and from time to time I host guests. My favorite and most frequent visitors are my dog and my family! So much for "alone time" LOL! Having them visit me in the Shed makes me so happy. Turns out the best improvement I've made to the shed is my family!

I'm so jealous of your she-shed! Looks so much lighter and brighter with the white paint.
