I have the cutest little wooden workshop {on the outside}.
The inside has been another story and I’ve been too ashamed to even think of taking a cluttered “before” picture.
After opening those cute double doors, the first thing you’d see is my miter saw sitting right in the doorway.
I would have to step over the miter saw into a spot just large enough for my shoes.
This spot was the only place you could see the rustic wood floor.
While standing in this one spot I would reach across some great old molding, half a mantle, an old metal tool box way too heavy for me to even think about picking up and gather whatever it was I needed at the time.
And I know creatures lived in there…just as long as there were no snakes.
Since I decorate, design, and organize I decided it was about time to apply these skills to my cute little workshop.
I designed a decorating plan and set up a $300 budget and gave myself one month to get r don {in my spare time}.
About 75% of the plan is organization and just where am I gonna put everything…and add style.
Below is a list of tools and items I needed {or hope to find room for} in the workshop.
That Miter Saw
Planer
Drill Press
Table Saw
Table Sander
Scroll Saw
Band Saw
Router
Variety of Hand Tools
Metal Tool Box {large on wheels}
Clamp Table
Hand Clamps
Two Work Tables
Paint storage
Wood and Molding Scraps
and a Billizion screws, nails, bolts, washers and other junk stuffed into those plastic drawer bins.
Did I mention my cute little workshop is 6′ X 8′?
Did I also mention…no plastic drawer bins are allowed in my design?
Here’s the colors I plan for the design.
And the style is none other than Homa Style!
It took a full day with the help of “my guy” to get the workshop completely empty. This is when I started wondering “What did I get into now?”
We sorted as we went using the Homa Style sort cards.
The black on the wall is tar paper we had put up for waterproofing the shed. I wanted to put bead board between the studs keeping the studs exposed, but it’s just not in the budget at this time. Instead I plan on loads of primer and light gray paint. I do love the rustic wood floor and plan on staining it dark. Also love the corrugated metal ceiling!
So follow along the workshop series and see what I end up with.
