A shed, garage or outbuilding is a great thing to have – as long as it’s organized so you can actually enjoy using it. For many homeowners, that’s just not the case.

Maybe it’s time to change that. With fall approaching, the cooler months are great time to turn that little building into something really special. Think cozy garden cottage, mancave, shespace, workshop, craft shop, reading nook or anything else that strikes your fancy. To read about one homeowner’s step-by-step journey from shed to bonus room. Then start planning your conversion from messy to magnificent!
