Operation She Shed | #1 My Flatpack Garden Office
Dreaming of a pretty she shed? I’m going to try and create one on a budget using a flatpack garden building. This is the first instalment showing how we built our DIY garden office.
The She-Shed
In January 2016, my boy and I embarked on a crazy project.
We decided to take an ordinary wooden garden building and transform it into a garden office — or she-shed — for me to run my business from.
With moderate DIY skills and a lot of chutzpah, we took a bog-standard, off-the-shelf, wooden structure and turned it into my dream work-space.
This collection of posts — and short films — shows our DIY journey to create the perfect she-shed.
Operation She Shed | #5 The Build {Painting The Interior}
Part 5 of Operation She Shed is all about painting the interior. I said from the start that these posts weren’t going to be that sexy — and I wasn’t kidding — but in order to see the butterfly, you have to begin with a dull old chrysalis. Or something like that. Anyway. Just to put this …
Operation She Shed | #4 The Build {Boarding & Insulating}

Operation She Shed | #3 The Build {Part One}
In January this year, my boy and I finally embarked on the project that I’ve been desperate to start since I began working for myself around a decade ago; Operation She Shed. I’ve always wanted a dedicated work-space. Having a room in the house is OK but when you work from home — on a full time basis — you can begin to …
Operation She Shed | #2 It’s all about the base
Now — apologies if you’re looking for an inspirational, design-led post, full of colour and style. You certainly won’t find it here!!! Inspiration, maybe, but certainly none of the others. I wanted to document this she shed journey from start to finish and the build is not exactly what you’d call ‘pretty’. Anyway, around this …
Storage Ideas For My Garden Office
I’ve been thinking of storage ideas for my garden office. My imaginary garden office. I’ve mentioned it time and time again on my blog. I’ve even dedicated a Pinterest board to it. But THIS YEAR it’s finally happening! This is the year my garden office goes from being imaginary to real! Weeeeeeeee! *claps hands in excitement* It’s …
Dream Garden Office
We were talking about my ‘dream garden office’ the other day and how next year may finally be the year that we make my dreams reality.
