She Shed using Bunnings shed

IVe always wanted a space of my own to create. . We scored a garden shed which was used at a Bunnings Store in their garden center.  It had to be dismantled and removed . I drew a sketch of my vision and started from there  to create my vision . We recycled 95 % of the Bunnings shed .

Materials

Recycled old Bunnings Garden shed .

We used plywood wood for the interior and for the shelves and work desk .

We used boxing wood which was sanded down and used for the exterior. Also created barn doors and stable doors out of the boxing materials. 

We used wool insulation in ceiling, walls and underfloor.  

Tools

We used Bosch tools from Bosch sanders  , drop saw , drills , Bosch nail gun , skill saw and all the hammers and nail screws needed to complete the job . 

We used Dulux water based paints on the interior.

 my vision from my drawing came to reality. 

I wanted to summit my shed ladt year but due to health issue and then 2 broken arms . As funny as it seems it was in the bunnings car park where I tripped and broke both my arms so was unable to get it completed on time to summit.  I still have to have power connected but use a safe electrical system when I need to use a light . Thakyou to my husband Will Brown and my cuzzy Bruce Williams they made my dream become a reality.  I'm so very lucky . I absolutely love it .

I can create my vision in a space that inspires me . 

Thanks Will and Bruce and also my 2 grandkids Leshaan and Marley who helped me paint the interior.
