What would YOU do with a shed like this??

Lots of good info there, but my favourite was when your puppy jumped up for a snuggle…that was awesome!

My wonderful husband had a beautiful shed built for me. It pink and has a little porch. We learned some important lessons. I don’t use it any more. The main problem for us, is the area we live in. We live in northern Illinois. The summers are very hot and the winters are freezing cold. So we found we were spending huge amounts of money trying to heat it and keep it cool. A lot of my supplies were ruined from sitting in the hot or cold. The porch is cute, but it is wasted space I could have used for storage. We had them put benches in on both sides. I thought I could work on different projects on the benches at the same time. The benches take up to much room. I would have been better off with installing my own shelves. I also thought it would be nice to have sky light. It isn’t nice. The sun beats down on me and my supplies. She sheds look so nice, but they have to be in places that have mild temperatures. Think about what you have and what you like to do, before buying one. We wasted money, because now it is a storage space, of things that are not affected by the weather. I wanted to share my story, because not everything that looks like a dream, is possible. I am much more comfortable in my spare room, with my dressers for storage and miss matched shelves. 😁.

My dream home has a she shed/studio in the back yard off to the side with side access from the front drive. It would need to big big enough to comfortably seat 8 people (for card making workshops) so I would need a huge space and it would be where I spend most of the time. I can dream ❤️🇦🇺

I always say sometimes you get a gift you didn't know you needed. This time you wanted it for one thing and it turned into something else. What a gift!

I had to smile because to me ... you already had a she-shed...your adorable blue office in the garage 😉💚. I really love seeing the new puppy 😁

Your wood storage unit made with your extra metal shelf and brackets is brilliant. You are very creative!

Your channel should be named “The Miracle Worker”. TY for sharing

That is so cool... It looked cute as seating but looks so helpful for supplies...💓

Love how you fixed area for wood pieces. I live using zip ties for lots of things. They are really handy.

Since I'm a homeowner, I have to have a lawnmower and everything the goes with a yard, some plumbing, electrical etc. because I build, fix make everything I can myself........then I clean it. I am also a crafter/Artist. That's a lot to organize, and your videos have been an enormous help getting my head around zones and "how do I really use this space"....thanks again:)

Norrine I think you made very good use of your she shed! How nice that a relative gave it to you! Love the way you are storing those pieces of wood! You always come up with such good solutions! Your fur baby is so cute and you can tell he's getting very attached to you!

Wow! Love the new wood storage system! Super creative design and awesome job repurposing what you have on hand!

love the magnetic curtain

I live in a block of flats, so the chance for me to be able to have one is zero. HOWEVER.... if I had a shed like this, I would set it up as a mini-garage without the car. Place for all my paints, tools, wood etc which is currently split between my bathroom and kitchen, and behind the living room door. Puppy is very cute!

Noreen, I have a shed like yours and I put a sheet of pegboard on the back wall. Works great

Noreen, put the chair back in there and use it to send friend mail. LOl Love ya

Love it! Also the new fur baby, she's beautiful and I'm so glad you have her and she has you, thank you so much for all that you do and share with us!!! Hope you had an awesome Mother's day! Happy belated Mother's day!!!🥰🤗💖🙏😊

that's a really good use of your little shed. you could have stored the wood in there too. 🙃🙃🥰

This is why you are the expert, girl! Way to go! Using that space for infrequently used items is smart. Frees up extra space in your main garage work space. Love it! ❤️ TFS from Cheryl in AZ.

You should be happy with the wood pieces you collected. Wood is INCREDIBLY expensive right now and not easy to get. I can tell your supervisor is hard at work lounging in the grass 😁

Very crafty way of using what you have to make it work for you 😉

....and the beauty of being women is that we can change our minds. 😁. Good. Choice! I would store my husband’s wood in it so I can have the garage back. 🥴

So glad to know even the Crafty Organizer sometimes is unorganized! Great solution to using the shed❤

I have that same 4x8 shed. I have turned it into my little wood shop

You are brilliant!

I love those sheds they last for ever, I used one like that for an outdoor laundry with washing machine and drier in it but here in my country they cost a fortune.

Mini-flippin'-me! Gosh Norrene... just, GOSH! This was kinda hard to watch cuz we're so alike, or you're so much what I used to be. I have sheds, I have a back patio next to a little covered area I've named "Casa de Outside", a fenced yard on 2 1/2 acres and I can't do anything with any of it because of pain. On a different note, I know exactly the magnetic screen you're talking about and plan on getting one myself. And those cabinet door samples from Home Depot? I've got a pile of them that you're welcome to. Better bring a truck!

Norreen, I love how adaptable you are and how you think outside the box. Thanks so much. 😊

That’s a perfect storage solution and moving the rack out surely did open up your work area. I love your wood rack! That’s what I’ve been brainstorming here. I have lumber stacked all over the place and I really need to corral it. I make wooden signs and decor pieces, and the Dollar Tree wire racks would be (will be!) perfect for creating a ‘filing’ system for my blanks and such. 😁

Isn't she just the cutest pup? We're trying to train a Malinois/Pit mix rescue we've had for a year now. He was in the system for a year and with the breed, we knew training would be an issue but we were used to the challenge and he's settling in. He was so cute yesterday when he bolted out the back door, and instead of running off, he went straight into the open hatch of the car and sat down. I don't think he understood how happy that made me. -- I think you made perfect use of your new shed. Now, every time you go into your workspace your mind will be more settled. Aren't those screens wonderful? I put one on my little greenhouse to keep the hornets out. Works like a champ!

I always enjoy your videos with such great ideas and innovative ways of making the most of our money

Good evening, Norinne. You made quite an impression on me with all of your hacks. Simply amazing.

I have literally talked about getting a shed for years, many years. Now with all the talk of she sheds in the past decade, I was determined to get one. My husband finally obliged me and we have looked many times at possibilities. Like you, however, I just could not decide what exactly I wanted to put inside my she shed, what would I use it for exactly? In the end, I just had too many choices with too many ideas. I have now completely abandoned the idea of a she shed. My husband is building me a craft area in our garage in our new home (after 27 yrs in one home we have moved.) you have been a phenomenal source of information. Considering the things I have, I determined the height and the depth of the shelves I would need, the size of my desktop, and my husband - bless him - has even incorporated the idea of under desk storage. It is not built yet, but it is in the process. Also, thanks to you, I stopped myself from buying storage containers. I will wait till I have unboxed my things. LOL, we may need to hire a marriage counselor or a referee when that process begins because I do agree that I need to get everything out so that I can see everything that I have; I am concerned my husband may not survive witnessing that process. This and other videos you have posted have been a great source of inspiration. Thanks so much.

How precious is she!

I have to make it into a storage shed because I don’t have a shed or a garage.

You are so inspirational! I love how you ended up using your new she-shed. I also like how you made the holder for the wood in your garage. I also liked seeing the garage netting and how it works. Thanks!

Hi Norrine. Cute puppy. What's his name? Very clever wood storage. Those magnetic curtains are awesome. Can't wait to see you get your RV sunshine. Take care. 🐾🐾🥰

You are so smart with making the best of storage space. Great ideas.💕💕💕💕

Your shed really was cute as a she shed, but it did appear to open the work space in your garage when you used it as storage.

I don't know if you remember my idea about the Nerf guns and the darts that light up. I have made a newest discovery. The mesh lining for Swimware that the boys have grown out of, make handy mesh bags for material, or used as paint templates for a funy design. Also, the older towels that need replacing, make great hammocks for your area! I've sewn one together and I macrame'd myself a hammock that hangs from the ceiling in my craft room, so I get to watch your youtube videos and relax the whole 10 minutes I get to myself everyday!! lol! Love your shows, you remind me of a great friend of mine, you have the most delightful voice and I wish I had your hair!! Stay Crafty!

My adopted pup just tore through my screen door, and I wasn’t certain what to do. Just ordered the screen you suggested, using your link. Should be perfect. Thanks so much! So happy I found you ... about three months ago. Best wishes.

Man I could use the screen for the front door! (oh wait she thought of that, after looking at your link! haha thanks!) ps. I probably use the "she shed" into tool shed or kids shed to control that mess, if I used it for more craft supplies I think my hubby would go nuts(all ready have my own room filled with supplies lol)

I love it all!!!! I have French doors in my bedroom and I need a screen. I was thinking about the magnetic screens and going to look to see if Home Depot has any when I go. I did not know that they made them so big, thanks for sharing. I will compare prices with Amazon. I just have to take a trip to Home Depot soon and was going to look at options. I love how you organized your work space and wood. I love to see what you make using what you have. I have done similar things and it is a great inspiration! The supply shed is great! ( I would most likely have a lot more supplies on hand as I hate to go to the store for something and find it all gone!) I used to have a she shed that had a day bed, and bookcase in it. I made squares from left over carpeting pieces from installs at a carpet stores dumpster, I even used little pieces, and using double stick carpet tape and arranged them in squares, then I put them down in a colored pattern. I loved to sit out there and read, etc.

I loved this video!

👍👍I totally understand that your first thought as to how to use the space might have to change, like any room in your home. Sometimes other ideas make better sense! Thank you for suggesting the magnetic screens! I need to see if that might work for my sliding glass doorway onto my balcony.🤗

I just saw those screens on a garage. I thought yup gonna do that.

I would use the shed for storage too - maybe as a place to store my push mower. Your fur-baby sure is cute!

What a great job you did on your new she shed!! You are so clever, just love watching all you do!!

I just got a shed similar to the one you have. It’s not as tall. Trash cans fit in it and bicycles. For now I’m going to put boxes I still need to go through cause I’d like to finally start putting my car in the garage. It will be nice to also be able to store my bikes in the shed after I go through all the boxes. Thanks again for all the great ideas!

My first thought when I saw this video was....why does she need a she-shed?? Then when you said you wanted a cozy outside area, I had to have a bit of a chuckle at your expense. OMG she is just like the rest of us. I got over the she-shed thing after a long chat with myself about how would I use it. I don't even like bubble baths, because I feel isolated. I do like what you did with it tho and your wood storage is great!

Oh how I wish I had a yard so I could have one (I live in a condo). I would either turn it into a bar for when I have company or garden sitting room (she shed with plants). Love how your pup jumped up to you. ☺♥

Love this!

I want to start by applauding you and say how proud I am of you. I was a single mom for over 16 years and felt like I was always in survival mode, I wished I had found you sooner as you are quite an inspiration. My current situation is my guy is going to build me a she shed/guest house. I feel very fortunate for this but I was wondering if you have any suggestions before we get started. BTY it is going to 16x24, with a full bath. Our house has only 1 bedroom & 1 bath.

How far away are you at getting that RV? I sure can use your help. Let us know maybe more people will want to help if you aren’t far away from the amount you need.

Love the wood storage. I have been thinking of a shed for storage. Do not have a garage. Will look into it. Thank you.

I’m sooo glad you made this video! I’ve been wanting a she shed too and this video has made me question why I want it 😜. Thanks again for your wonderful channel

Wow, great ideas. I love 💕 it!

Smart use of those brackets/tie wraps and random shelves to store your wood pieces! You and I would get along great, only you would be the organized one! Lol

Awww! Loved the ending - I can tell you are a good dog Mommy as well as a good organizer. 🙂❤️

This was helpful to me because I had a cute idea for my entryway, and realized it would be better used as storage, considering either getting an IKEA pax unit because I would prefer enclosed, or setting up a curtain rod with storage shelves behind. Your experience helped me think out of my box!

You not only have a true talent, but a very special creative gift. Thank you so much for letting your light shine into our lives!

LOVE the lumber storage hack! Awesome way to up cycle what we already have.

My garage doesn’t have finished walls, so my wood is stored between the studs with screw eyes and bungee cords.

You did an amazing job on utilizing the she shed! Awesome! Your fur baby is adorable! That is so special that she loved on you! ❤ As always, thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸🌞

I love your little shed. Glad you switched it to your organizing supplies.

I would not have put the she shed in the middle of the garden. I would have put it to the back of your garage and also put a foundation down such as planks of wood or paving slabs. Although I do live in the UK and we have damp and nasty intermittent weather, so I am thinking on the UK prospective. But you could make a new seating area/pretty area behind the garage, a bar area for the girls to socialise with friends where Mum can’t see. Norrine you have always said that this space is a dead space! I do have 2 of these plastic clip sheds the size of bin stores and I keep all my camping gear in them, they are brilliant stores and no damp and rot like the wood sheds.

Looks great !

Wow great job!!!❤

Fantastic!!

For me that shed would be another place to store still more stuff that just needs to GO! But it was genius for YOUR needs! Nice wood storage, too! I'll have to keep that in mind.

love new wood storage/work area, great repurpose ideas

Love your new storage shed! You did great!

I would make it my potting shed.

Love your ideas.

Great video! I would choose storage as well! Your puppy is sweet!

As much as I would like to have a She-shed, I need storage more. So I would have also used it for storage, in order to free up some space elsewhere. I always love your videos and ideas!! Your puppy giving you some love at the end was precious!!

That was amazing how you created your wood storage - wow! I would use my she shed for art...I’m glad you did the angle intro...

Man...I wish you lived in the Phoenix area!! I could really use your help/motivation.

I loved this video! And I LOVE seeing your puppy and how very sweet you are to her! ❤ u!

Awesome ideas! So helpful! TFS! Hugs & Blessings!!🥰💙🙋🏻‍♀️

great conversion of the she shed...awww that puppy is adorable Norrine

I just love watching your ever so helpful videos! We are very similar in our organizational style although yours looks 100% better because it is color coordinated and tidy! I hope to follow your example so my area will be more FUNctionable and eye appealing.

great use of the shed, and the screens! that gives me some ideas too. the "blooper" was awesome☺️ thank you so much!

When you said "she-shed", what I thought was like where you are filming. The other was cute, but definitely storage space seemed to be a better fit. I have (started years ago) an outside building that was supposed to be "my space", but.... Is currently not finished (just stud walls and lumpy concrete floor) and misc this and that gets put inside. Oh well. You look like you are doing alright, but I have to admit, I was and still am seriously concerned about you, since taking that covid vaccine thing. I just feel it's important to do your own research before taking a Drs word for it. I pray that you stay safe, times are seriously different now than when we were kids, a whole lot different. Take care young lady. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

Norrien oohh! She's adorable and you keep enjoying her love. Love Jenni XOXO

GREAT storage! I first thought it was going to be a potting shed. I was way off. 😂Your supervisor is adorable 😉 Namesta 🥰🐞🤗

My husband is a builder and I keep his samples all the time 😂😇 I love your shed and how much more space you created in the garage!

Good Morning Norrine☀️☕️Great idea👍🏼Love your new 🐕 puppy, he’s so adorable 😊 Have a great and blessed day

Storage shed is a good idea. Your puppy is adorable.

I want a she-shed!! One day I will have that overlooks the pool. Right now I am getting it ready for my son. He is coming from after serving and will be going to College full-time. Until then I am blessed with the use of our family room.

That’s a great use for that shed! It was nice as a sitting room, but without the wine fridge it really wasn’t that practical 🤪. You doggy is so cute. Thank you for sharing

Awww. That’s so sweet! The best use is whatever works for you. Lol. Thanks for including those screens. We’ve been looking for something like but they wanted $$$$ to custom install them! 🙀 Can’t wait for the 15th!

If I should have a she seed. I would like to have one in wood.. or a little pavillion , to sit and enjoying a summerevening. 🕯🥤🍦🧘🏼‍♀️

That's similar to an 8x10' shed kit we got through Lowe's some years ago. Since we needed it to store larger equipment like our mower, tiller, & pressure washer, having it sit directly on the ground was not an option. Since I'm not experienced in pouring concrete slabs, I decided to build a wooden deck instead. I used pre-made concrete footers and added 2x6 lumber into the top cross "spaces" in the footers. Leveling the whole thing took the longest time, since I had several footers! But I finally got it, & cut & screwed the deck boards on in no time flat. Mama & I did get help from a few friends to have a "shed raising." I basically put together all the components I could (skylights in the roof pieces, windows in wall panels, etc.), & screwed the floor panels to the deck. If I remember correctly Mama & I managed to get the walls up ourselves, though that was a BEAR of a job! Thankfully, the day our friends came over, it took us just about 1/2 a day to finish assembling. And it's still standing & works great! I loved seeing your ideas, Norrine. May I ask about your wood storage area in your garage? You have something hanging on the wall next to the bin you built from the shelf brackets & all. It's grey & looks like an over-the-door shoe holder. It looks like it has pockets, but also thick grey straps or bands. I couldn't tell if you had moulding in it, or rolls of gift wrap, or what. Did you buy that somewhere, and if so, do you know if it's still available? Or can you show a closer-up photo of it? I have a large trash can in my woodworking area that I keep moulding lengths in, & it is not the most practical thing, to say the least. I would love to have something flatter to hang on the wall to hold the pieces. I could make one myself probably, but I would prefer a more detailed/closer look at yours if possible, so I can figure it out. Anyway, if it's not too much trouble, maybe you could feature it in a future video. Thank you for sharing your she-shed journey. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)

I'm sure you are much happier with the new storage space than a new place to sit! Although, it did look cute ;-) It ALL looks much more organized and spacious. I like it! Smart move. I would use it for my gardening supplies and a potting and planting seeds table. Husband uses most of available space having a roof. I do have a little 3 sided shelter in the garden I've been looking at to make use off in that way. I already hang my herbs and garlic to dry there. It becomes a catch all anyway so I should just organize it! I'm sure I will, you've motivated me now, lol.

I had a similar need for storage of wood pieces, cabinet doors, etc. (I work at a Habitat ReStore, so you can imagine all the stuff I come across). I repurposed a filing cabinet, by removing the drawers and laying it on its back. Love your ideas though!

I completely get the what you want vs. what will work. If I had a shed like that, I'd put it into my courtyard to hold all my gardening tools and pots. Right now, my gardening stuff is on a plastic shelving unit in my bedroom (I live in 500 sf, so not much space to put things), and it's so ugly. I've looked at those sheds, and they are so expensive. I might build something of my own one day.

Loved this video. I thought your “she shed” was gorgeous but your right you have your outside sitting area and your backyard is so pretty. You did a great job repurposing that space and opened up your working area so all in all you did very good. I also hope you n Sherry (Posh Paper Lady) do another collaboration. I enjoyed that so much.

Wow, you never surprise me with your ideas! Ok now...when you get that RV, as you make your way to California, toward the San Francisco area (about 65 miles NE+/-), I NEED you to stop by my house 🙏, for say about a week +/-, and get this house ORGANIZED!! What do you say, hmmmm? Lolololol! Love your channel, love your personality, love your organization skills! Thanks so much! 💜 Pam
