Hello Mumsnetters,
I am looking to create a little ‘Oasis’ for me. I have looked at a variety of garden room options and have decided to ‘upcycle’ an existing summerhouse that we have. I have something very similar to the attached. I have been inspired by some images this evening where the windows and door frames were painted white and the rest of the wood work grey etc. external string lights, and it gave me hope!😁 and made me feel that I can make much more of it.
I am happy to spend a bit of money on it as I want to be able to use it throughout the year. Things on the list to get are proper installation (Wall, floor, ceiling?) and plaster board (any advice, or cheat tips on these would be great - hubby and I are looking to treat it as a bit of a project). Thinking to get a light, small oil or electric wall heater, and socket fitted. It’s 2.4m x 2.4m. Thinking to remove the bench seat and put in a small garden corner couch. Replace the plastic windows with small double glazing units.
What would you do to make it feel more like a proper room you would be happy to sit in and enjoy?
Any creative people with an eye for design and/or upcycling ? How would you create the dream ‘she shed’
Any Pro DIYers how would you make this shed properly usable. I don’t want to feel as though I am sat in a cold, damp shed with insects for company, thinking I should have put the money towards a proper garden room. 😁
