UPDATED Leave a comment

Springtime is here, meaning more time spent outdoors and perfect weather for renovating or enhancing your backyard. During the last few years, homeowners have been getting creative, finding more ways to make their own personal oasis just right out their back door. One of these creative improvements is the 鈥渟he鈥� shed, a classic tools shed that is transformed into the homeowners own personalized shed meant for relaxation, girls night in or a space for hobbies and favorite activities. Let鈥檚 take a look at some tips for making the perfect 鈥渟he鈥� shed!

Renovating or Building

The first and most important decision you will have to make when making your shed is if you have a current building in place that can be renovated or if you will need to either order a shed 鈥渒it鈥� that includes all the materials needed or hire a local builder. Each option will vary in effort and in price. Hiring a builder will most likely be the most spendy, but allows for customization at every part of the process.

Turning Your Guest Room Into a Home Office

UPDATED Leave a comment

Nowadays, working from home is more common than ever before. COVID-19 has affected home design in some significant ways, so there鈥檚 an increased need to have a home office – a room that will look professional, formal, and functional. Luckily, you don鈥檛 have to look for a new, bigger home if you already have a spare room at your disposal. Don鈥檛 worry; turning your guest room into a home office isn鈥檛 a challenging or complex procedure; you just need a plan, a little bit of time, and some creativity.

Get rid of the big and bulky bed

The first step of turning your guest room into a home office is getting rid of a bulky bed in the center of the room. It probably occupies most of the space, which you can now use in a smart way.

There are many models on the market, and they are all hinged at one end to store vertically against the wall or inside a closet or cabinet. If you had other items for your guests here, such as linens and towels, find them a place in other rooms of your home. Then, it鈥檚 time for detailed spring cleaning and really transforming the space.
