- Apart from a few cosmetic touches we're finally at the finishing line with our shed revamp! What started as a squeak of an idea back in the winter has now given us a shed that is not only double the size, but a glorious place to sit, relax and even socialise! It's been a lot of hard work but I hope you like the finished result as much as I do!
Come and see what we get up to at our organic, no dig garden in the centre of the UK.
Come say hi over here:

Oh Jane, dream shed made by a dream team! Love the stained glass windows and the fire/stove is inspired. Well done you, Mike and Rocky (I’m sure he contributed as well).
Ha ha - yes Rocky certainly helped out with approving/disapproving looks now and then - namely 'when are you going to stop all this nonsense and give me a treat'! Thanks Honore.
That has turned out really great,plenty of room for all your tools,relaxing,eating a proper home from home.
We're so pleased Helen - it's certainly going to be well used over the next few months! Thank you.
Hey Jane, It is so exciting to get something done! Done might mean different things to different folks. In my mind getting done is when you feel it is functional. Now the character comes along the way years of fiddling with this and that folks giving gifts to you that become part of the shed. That could be tools, a small table, a chair anything that makes it you! In that way of thinking the shed is never done as it takes on a life that is always growing.
You have done a great job very proud of you I hope you have years of happiness with your shed!! God bless y'all be safe Cya next time
Exactly - it will continue to evolve as time goes by - we've already been given a 'speak no evil' monkey carving that I think will be quite fitting next to my chair! Really glad you like it - thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. Nicely quirky and cozy. A great escape from rotten weather. I can see a lovely place to escape through the colder months.
Thanks Robin - looking forward to snuggling up in front of that stove - not sure how much gardening will get done though!
@@JanesGrowingGarden Planning…loads of planning.
This is a wonderful video of our shed project. I am green with envy that you have space, the vision, a Mike to help you.......and a tent fire place! congratulations and thanks for the dream! x
Couldn't have done it without my favourite Mike! I'm so looking forward to getting the stove up and running - might have to wait for it to cool down a bit first though! Thanks Dee.
I love the shed it's fab 👍
The small dark brown glass fronted cabinet - this could be a store cubard for all your none gardening cooking/food stuffs. It would keep things away from rats and mice.
- opening top could be used for knives, forks, spoons, cutting knives, glass cutting board (as easier to keep clean) etc.
- the top shelf cups, plates, tea/coffee, buscuit tin
- the bottom shelf cleaning products a washing up bowl, tea towel, washing up liquid, pan scourer, paper towels, anti bacterial spray etc. The water to be used for watering the plant troughs out side, win win
All in all a great little kitchen station, compact and all keep together neat and tidy 😁 and away from pests
This is similar to my set up on a community allotment shed and it worked very well
That's exactly what I was thinking! I hadn't gone so far as to what would be on each shelf but I think you've sorted that for me! Ideally I'd love one of those 1950's kitchen cupboards with the drop down shelf but that's something for the future. Thanks Carol - that's really helpful!
Beautiful! Yes, some hooks for t 14:11 ea cups and a tea kettle, and tins or boxes for tea, and a few coffe cups to put branches of mint to dry for tea. And maybe a few vases for flowers.
We now have a little kitchen cupboard with all of our 'kitchen bit and bobs' in - we love it! Also a lovely white jug for flowers! Glad you like it Lynette - thank you.
I love the shed! It looks wonderful. Worth all the work for sure.
Thanks Liz - you're welcome any time!
Wow - you could almost live in there. You just need a cot (and a blankie) for afternoon naps. The variety in the colours and shapes of the wood is it's own decoration. People pay big money for that look. Enjoy it.
Oh I'm glad you noticed the wood - I love the different tones! Yes I've moved my blankie in already - don't think I'll be needing it just yet though! Thanks Linda.
Your shed looks amazing! I love the stained glass windows 😍
When you think they've been stacked outside the greenhouse for a few years they haven't done too badly! Thanks Nicki.
I really love your shed and it's a good size now for all your bits and pieces. Well done to both of you.
Thanks Sue - hopefully we'll be able to keep it tidy(ish) as well!
Jane. You and Mike did a famous job! You both are so hard working. I’m just trying to keep those blooming rabbits away from my garden!
Oh those rabbits! We have worked hard but glad the main part is over and we can concentrate on other things now! Thanks Christy.
Fantastic Jane ,such an effort but what a result , a lovely cosy corner for reading 10/10 love it 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much - it's definitely been worth it!
Shed looking fantastic Jane and you and Mike have done a brill job. at least now you have a warm cozy place to store stuff and chill out in the colder months
Well it's tiny compared to yours Tony but hopefully we've got enough room to keep things a bit more organised now! Thank you.
Great job ! It looks cosy. Enjoy Jane. Great team work.
We're looking forward to lighting the stove once it gets a little cooler! Thank you!
Hi Jane, wow! Your shed looks lovely & a lot bigger. Love the stove & those chairs are perfect too! The end result is worth all the hard work you have both done, enjoy. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
We were in their last night with the candles on and the stove lit - it was lovely! Thanks Christine.
@@JanesGrowingGarden how lovely ❤️
Oh wow jane it looks fabulous we’ll done to you both your hard work has paid off 😊
There have been times when I've questioned why we've bothered but I'm so glad now! Thanks Julie.
You could Air BnB that!!! Stunning! ❤💚🤎
Ha ha - for a 'traditional shed experience'! Thanks Tamsin.
Its a beauty:-)I know it's hot now,but how cozy it will be.
Need some book shelves by your corner,for damp days.
You can sit and be all warm and dry and have your tea and just be grateful🙂
Love those windows.
Happy shed sitting,haha
Donna
Yes I have a few books on the big shelves but I was thinking of putting some in one of the little alcoves next to the chair - I love this part! Thanks Donna.
Absolutely LOVE the new shed Jane…..feels so homely inside…. and you still have some finishing touches to do. I really like the unfinished wood inside and the colour on the outside! You’ve inspired me to either get a new shed or revamp my existing wonky one! Really enjoyed the video Jane! 😁💪🏼🌻
Honestly it took me ages to decide on the outside paint - I'm still not convinced but it should look lovely once the nasturtiums are blooming! Yes I'm pleased we didn't paint the inside in the end, I think the different tones in the wood make it feel warm. Oh go on now - go for a revamp - I bet you'll make it look spectacular! Thanks Will x
@@JanesGrowingGarden love the colour Jane! 😍
The shed looks great Jane. Such a difference. ❤
Well we had a low bar to start with! I do love it now though - the thing is I'd rather be in there than on the plot! Thanks Emma.
Lovely shed redo. Nice to have a place for things. The flowers are so pretty.
I'm sure it will soon look a bit more 'lived in' as time goes on but hopefully we'll have a space for everything now. Thanks Karen.
Fantastic shed! You'done a great job, well Dane!
Thanks Garry - we got there in the end!
Looks great. I like the unpainted rustic look on the inside
Thank you - I really like it!
Jane i howled laughing at that window hole 😂 i'll send the piece I promise haha! 😂 all looks amazing Jane! You and Mike should be proud x
Ha ha - I thought I'd name and shame! Actually it does provide quite a nice little breeze at the moment so no hurry.The kettle will be on for you whenever you fancy a visit!
A nice cosy and private space to sit in
It really is!
Hi Jane sorry been away in Croatia, only catching up with you all over last couple of days. Jane and Mike what a great achievement, the shed is so beautiful. I really love those stained glass windows,they really suit the place. Danny is a good influence re the stove,it's a great idea. Love your freebies and cheap buys to add to the shed. It will be brilliant to be able to run into the shed on rainy days. Well done you two.
We're quite looking forward to some cooler days so we can hunker up and get the stove lit - I'm sure I'll regret saying that soon enough! Thanks Lorraine.
@@JanesGrowingGarden no regrets,just embrace it 🤣🤣🤣
I have serious shed envy now. You have inspired me to revamp my shed too
Oh good - you'll have great fun! Thank you!
Wow that’s really fab now! Very homely indeed and the stain glass windows are cool!
Funny 3 legged chair! Where’s Rocky’s bed?
Love the storage boxes - brilliant idea
Rocky's bed will be snuggled up in front of the fire when it's lit - I might join him on it! Glad you like it Lisa - thank you.
Woooo Jane it's absolutely GORGEOUS! Now I have shed envy. Though I do still adore my little cosy shed. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the progression 😊🌱 xx
Your shed is just lovely! I am a little bit in love with it at the moment - let's see how it stands up to muddy tools, muddy boots and all the other garden detritus that follows us around! Thank you x
What a great transformation! I love the stain glass windows and the circular one. The tent stove is a brilliant idea!
Those windows have really found their place now - I'm glad we kept hold of them! Thank you.
@@JanesGrowingGarden They are so beautiful Jane. I love how the light comes through in different colours and gives a unique accent to the shed. It must bring you so much joy. Come next winter, i bet you will appreciate the colour even more too, to make you feel cozy by the stove. It's not to much too and you can get some shaded in their during the heat of summer. Well done guys. That looks awesome!
Absolutely beautiful Jane ❤
Thanks Susie!
looks great jane i would love it
Thanks Steven - I do too!
oh wow, gorgeous shed!
Thank you!
It’s absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing
Thanks Ingrid - glad you like it!
Ohh I am jealous! I like the idea of it not being painted inside, the rustic look is pretty. We have a much smaller shed and painted the inside white and it does look better in the smaller space, but yours is like everyones dream of a log cabin in the woods. I've always dreamt of a wood burner but the shed isn't big enough but there are greenhouses combined with sheds on our site reminiscent of Victorian garden buildings and they have wood burning stoves in them, all I have is a one ring camping gas stove, but it allows us to have a cuppa and a hot meal if we're there all day. The things I would add as you said somewhere to hang cups and at least a frying pan and perhaps a shelf to keep tea coffee etc oh not forgetting the biscuit tin haha, hubby has his own biscuit tin with Grandads biscuits written on it. Our family know him so well!!
Oh yes definitely - I'm going to use that strange cabinet as a pantry for crockery and the like, and already have my tea and coffee tins up on the shelves. You've reminded me we do already have a one ring stove - ideal for when it's too warm for the fire! I'd love to see inside the buildings on your allotment - I bet there are a few quirky ones! Glad you like it Liz - thank you.
I thought I’d drop buy and watch your video again for some inspiration. A tip on the light situation, you could buy usb powered lights and plug the lights into a cell phone battery pack we do that for our cabin.
We now have some solar lights installed but I must admit the quality of light is quite low - I'll take a look at the USB ones. Thank you!
Nice job guys...I love it!
Thanks Linda - me too!
A lovely shed
Thank you - glad you like it!
So gorgeous.
Thanks Anne - we're really pleased!
Brilliant gave me ideas for my shed 😄
Oh that's good - thank you!
Looks fantastic 😍
Thanks Charissa - still some things to do but it's good to have it up and running again!
Hiya Jane I love it especially the wee stove. Perhaps some battery operated candle against mirror or glass for in the evening. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
I've actually got a mirrored sconce that I was thinking of putting up but was a bit concerned about putting a real candle in there with so much wood - a battery powered one might be the way to go! Thanks Beverley.
@@JanesGrowingGarden hiya Jane sounds like that will work yay lol blessings Luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
It looks great well donexx
Thanks Penny - glad you like it!
lots of hard work but well worth it looks great, shed envy, mine's still in bits lol ill do it soon
It'll be worth it when you do - we never thought we'd ever get finished! Thanks Nicholas.
Love it!
Thank you!
Love it! ❤
Thank you!
Much more room 😊
It has surprised us - I'm sure it will soon fill up though! Thank you.
Fabulous shed Jane. Love your windows and your stove. Here’s to many happy hours spent in your shed ❤😊
Thanks Anne - we're really pleased!
Looks fab Jane and Mike, check to see if you need a fire guard behind the stove as it is dry wood and super hot can cause issues. Tony O may know if it’s needed. Great place to,hang out and have a copper and a natter, Ali 🥵🌞
It should be okay as it's projected forward about twelve inches - I'll double check though. Thanks Ali!
@@JanesGrowingGarden oh good it just looks closer on video ❤️
Absolutely fab Jane and Mike!👍 Love it! 💕🥂
Thanks Carol - we're really happy with it!
Do you ever want to go home? 😂 I wouldn’t it’s beautiful there
The thing is now I don't want to get out of that chair - it's actually really comfortable! Thanks Pammie.
Your shed is just wonderful!
Thank you - it's taken a while but we love it!
It looks fantastic, well done guys 😊
Thanks Karen - we're really pleased!
Love it guys. Well done.🤗🇨🇦
Thanks Joanne - we do too!
Beautiful shed build and decoration.
Thanks Rebecca - glad you like it!
❤❤❤
Thanks Sue!
How about curtains for shed for extra security
That's a good idea - I think we'll be okay though as the long 'see through' window runs alongside quite a narrow, difficult to access part of the plot. Thanks Paul.
Hi Jane, love the shed! We’re having a potting shed extension to our summer house(old shed!) so I ‘d love to have a stove too, where did you get it and was it easy to fit, (luckily hubby is a fab d-I- y’er.) Happy new shed!
Oooh yes I'd definitely recommend one - ours was from a company called Outbacker Stoves - super easy to install (just a hole in the roof and a little guard thing) and you can take the flue off and carry it around to wherever you want to use it outside as well. Good luck and thank you!
I like it rustic inside.. don’t paint it
Thanks Lynne - it's staying as it is!
