Outdoor Shed Makeover

In this Today’s Homeowner video, host Jodi Marks demonstrates an easy outdoor shed makeover that transforms the shed’s blank, exterior wall into a unique and economical outdoor living space.

The Shed Makeover Project Steps

For this DIY project, the homeowner took a rather utilitarian shed—something that’s a necessity in many backyards—and turned it into a focal point, rather than simply an overlooked structure.

  1. First, they painted the shed with a color-coordinated shade to compliment the home it’s situated behind.
  2. Then, they created faux shuttered windows on the side of the shed to cover the existing blank wall, using a contrasting paint color to create visual interest.
  3. They then added an arbor with a built-in bar. Tip: Be sure to seal any pressure-treated lumber being used to ensure it’s properly protected from the elements. 
  4. Jodi also notes that you can add additional features to personalize the project. Planter pots, outdoor wall décor, lighting, stepping stones, or even a fire pit, would be a great complement in your own backyard. 

Jodi notes that with this makeover, the outdoor shed has become a new focal point and is the backyard’s new “go-to” destination area.

So, go take a look out back to determine what you have to work with, then map out a plan to make the most of it!
