Continuing with my theme of backyard getaways, here are two shed hacks that make ordinary storage sheds custom. I'm a little obsessed with this idea and all the creative opportunities there are. I actually went to a large shed retailer and walked around thinking about the possibilities. Sadly, my backyard is not cut out for a shed. The ideas below showcase two key elements, doors and exterior additions, that can boomerang into lots of variations.

Doors!
Folding doors, French doors, purple doors, doors with windows, you decide. Just not those flaps sheds usually come with. Paint the inside white or another light color and decide on a style or theme. This one is East Coast Beach but you could do French Country, Mod, man cave, romantic, butterflies, fishing, you name it. Extra touches might include curtains, a back window, and a tiny garden or more potted plants outside. If you have access to electricity, you can really go wild: a mini fridge, lights, disco ball, fans...

Exterior Additions
I love this one. The pergola and the stone path are the magic transformers and it even looks a little Chinese. Bonus: Leave the original wide doors on the side and you can still park big stuff like your ride-on mower inside, if you must. A variation on the pergola would be a less airy, more substantial covered porch or even a screened porch with a hot tub inside.

Upcycled Glass House
Obviously, this never was an everyday shed but it's so beautiful and green that I had to include it. It's made completely from old windows and doors.
