$100 Room Challenge | Week 1: The Shed Befores

I was on the fence about participating in this round of the $100 Room Challenge just because this September is so busy, but knew that I really didn't want to miss out on the all the fun. I went back and forth about which space to tackle as per the norm. We are trying to get grass to grow in the back yard this year and the old red shed right in the middle is a huge eye sore— so that's what I chose!

Surprisingly this is my 6th $100 Room Challenge! So far I've tackled the tool closet, the full bathroom, the hall closet, the carport, and the half bathroom.    

Even though the backyard still looks trashy, we have come such a long way since we moved in (below). There was about a foot of decomposing leaves, trash, and just straight up bugs everywhere. It's a little more clean now, but still has a long was to go.

The inside is just as nasty as the outside. Even though I've straightened up since this photo, it still is not really functional. It's dark and filled with spiders (ew). And yet it is the only good place to store my tools outside. We do have another huge shed on the side of the yard but it's rotten and we are planning on tearing it down this fall as well so this shed is our last hope.

Goals for this challenge!

Paint the shed (inside and outside). Right now the red is a total eye sore and a $30 coat of paint could really change everything. Even if I got nothing done on the inside and just painted the outside, this challenge would still be a success.

Straighten up the inside and make it functional. Maybe put up some shelves or hooks and make space for all of my tools and lawnmower.

Do some landscaping. Plant some flowers or something on the outside and straighten up the makeshift bed of rotten wood that's currently there.

Re-do the ramp. Right now the old rotting beams are painted red and are decomposing. Some nice landscaping timbers will keep our access to the lawnmower and all rolley things in the shed easy.

This is the inspo image I have so far for the exterior paint color. Nice and dark so it'll fade back into the trees.

That doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a lot of work for my jammed pack September. The $100RC is just too fun to pass  up though! The best part about this challenge is the other participants.
