Are you in need of a shed makeover in your backyard? If so, no worries. Many of our sheds could use extra TLC, some much more so than others. If that sounds like you and your shed, allow this genius reddit user lumpytrout to be your inspiration.

It all started when the reddit user bought a cabin for the family to enjoy. Unfortunately, said cabin had a badly deteriorating shed in the back. Not only was the metal structure lacking any kind of aesthetic appeal, it also included flooring that had totally collapsed. As the new cabin owner so bluntly put it, the shed was “done.” But the cabin owner wasn’t.

Using mostly recycled materials and scraps from other building projects, this DIY expert was able to put together a whole new shed to replace the lackluster earlier version. Add painting, styling, and siding, and you can see for yourself the dreamy recreation steal the whole show in the yard. The best part? The whole project cost less than $200 altogether.

See the shed makeover come to life below in the spectacularly simple step-by-step photos below.
