Using reclaimed barn wood, John built this storage shed that became a great storage spot for lake toys and a playhouse for grandchildren. The siding was originally on a goat-milk barn. The stone steps came from a local stone outlet.

The storage shed looks amazing. Not only will there be enough room for storage of more things, but there will also be an area where the family can just relax to enjoy the cool breeze while enjoying a hot cup of tea or two. The benches really complement the storage shed well and add a touch of cosiness to the entire setup.
I think what would be even more awesome to this storage shed is if there were a bathroom in there! Lord knows in the cooler months, the kids might want a place to dry off and get changed instead of making a long trek all the way back to the house! All in all a really fabulous idea!
