The Little Shed That Could

I spent last weekend working 

with my friend Annie on her little shed.

 Ever since I first saw it, I have been bugging her; 

telling her I could turn it into a magical place.

Inside is stored all her holiday decor

 and wonderful treasures dying to have a home.

So we dug in and out poured mountains of things to be sorted.

We sorted a lot!!

A LOT!

The lady likes totes. We had lots of fun 

with jokes about obsessions.

Mine WAS dishes and glassware. What is/was yours?

By the second day all this was cleared out.

Did you spot the vintage mantel on the back wall?

We will paint soon and add area carpet

 and she may add some side windows

 in the future for ventilation.

The entire top is rimmed with shelving

 and I managed to get all the holiday totes

 up above on these shelves and they will 

all be hidden with some draping. 

The little shed still needs to be a major storage area, 

as the main home is tiny, with storage next to none.

A couple of standard, no walk in, bedroom closets, 

about six kitchen cupboards and a single car garage.

By the time I am done,

 this will be a retreat with two comfy chairs,

twinkle lights and a gorgeous vintage mantel 

display. Tons of decorative storage so that she can 

grab what she needs easily and create

to her hearts content.

I adore projects like this.

A Cinderella story....

AND

we have not yet spent a dime...

we will use a few coupons for 

brown wire twinkle lights

and paint and a small section of bead board.

I'll give you a cost breakdown at the end.

I will be showing you the progress as we go.

and yes, I am for hire.....

In other news, I went home from work early on Monday

and I've spent the last three days sidelined

with the creeping crud.

Ronda and I will be debuting her new 

shop (I am a contributor) this coming Tuesday.

The little gift shop is located 

within Elements Salon 334 Water Street

in downtown Henderson.

They are open Tuesday- Saturday.

I'll post photos after we set up.

There is also a wonderful jewelry trunk

show scheduled for Wednesday the 4th.

To my east coast pals,

stay safe and warm.

Darling daughter and her beau are 

in Atlanta also under severe weather.

and yet FOX news tells everyone

there is no global warming...
