Recycled Door Garden Shed




So! I have been collecting doors, any old door I come across gets stashed in my yard. I just love old doors.

A also had a crappy old bunnings garden shed, that I wanted to convert into a creative hive.
Here is the shed and some of the door collection...







The idea was to rebuild the tin garden shed using the found old doors, I thought it was going to be simple, just attaching timber to timber, i have built stuff before, no probs.... so we moved the old shed and set about leveling out the existing base....



It seems I have no idea how to build the base of a structure (in a safe kind of way) and the thoughts I had in mind on how I was going to assemble to frame with wood offcuts from under my neighbours house were not going to cut it, either was my 'renovator' tool.

After realising building the frame and roof were way beyond my capabilities Marc took over and my Dad got in on it as well. I have misplaced the pictures of the next stage, but a sturdy frame was put together with a kick ass roof, I just held measuring tapes and pieces of wood and tin in place....








It is coming together!

I still have some embellishing to do...

It is looking exactly how I imagined it....Freakin Amazing!







Still a work in progress, but some updates on the shed....

Dinosaur Jars

I saw these somewhere made with farm animals, Casper is into Dinosaurs, so I found some he had left laying around in the garden and gave it a go....



 I found some jars, glued the dinosaurs....




Then sprayed them...


Too easy!....

Recycled Office




Marc and I both do a lot of work from home and once we moved our kitchen out of this tiny nook, we wanted to create a better workspace....

We had this...very sad....
