This is especially true right now when we are spending so much time at home! Here are 10 creative ways you can use your shed.

1. Garden Shed

Keep it simple and use your shed how it was originally intended: a storage place for tools and gardening supplies. Step it up a notch by making your garden shed both attractive and functional. Start on the outside by giving it a fresh coat of paint and planting around the border. On the inside, create an organized space with plenty of hooks, shelves, and drawers.

2. Art Studio
