Flip House Episode 5: Shed Makeover

When I first bought the flip house, I assumed the shabby shed in the back of the yard was a liability and would immediately go away. But then I started removing the overgrowth and took a closer look and realized it as actually in great shape and would be an easy makeover. After removing the deteriorating screen and the old swing from the area, I cut back the weeds and overgrowth. Next I gave the shed a power wash to remove dirt and mildew. This is a metal shed so there was a little rust to content with but nothing major so I painted it with an oil based metal paint in a dark gray color to easily cover the stains in one coat. Some simple planting and a cute barn light over the door and this shed is good as new! I am so pleased with how it turned out... under $100 and a day of my time and it's like there's a whole new shed back there.

The shed looks amazing Charlotte! Such a quick, budgetfriendly and impactful makeover. I found you recently through an Apartment Theory home tour and afterwards subscribed to your channel. You're so fun to watch, easy to follow and your video's are well filmed + edited. Good luck and have fun with all your current/future projects & I'm looking forward to seeing all the progress :)

Looks amazing🙌🏻😍😍

Fantastic work Miss.Amazing what some cleaning and paint can do. Good choice on oil paint on metal. Latex sucks on metal.

Thanks!!

❤ beautiful ❤

[@emmyashbaugh]

Absolutely love your channel, you are so incredibly inspiring! This turned out really fabulous, the handle represents and light made such a difference! I may be mistaken but here in Colorado we have those same plants you dug up, I think it’s burdock & might be where the thorny burrs come from as well! It’s supposedly medicinal but definitely not worth the burrs.

[@novampires223]

That plant is burdock. Edible roots.

Next step: Insulation

[@michaelbradford4444]

Paint is also a preservative when applied to wood and would increase the lifespan of the bottom of your frame if painted.

[@AtCharlottesHouse]

Yep! That's all pressure treated ground contact lumber so should hold up well regardless.

[@michaelbradford4444]

@@AtCharlottesHouse If you paint one side and leave one side as is the as is side will need to be replaced several time before the painted will.

[@familymoneyadventure]

I’m totally doing this but I think I need to paint the roof, too. It looks rough. If you had to paint your roof, what color would you use? The same as mix? Maybe a brown to match the door trim you left unpainted?

[@AtCharlottesHouse]

Hmmm.... I might go with one color slightly different... so a true black or a slightly lighter gray?

[@user-dd1tn3wr7r]

hey do you think you would be able to insulate a metal shed?

[@heatherjackson2520]

I have a shed about the exact same size and actually looks pretty similar to your before picture. Just wondering how many cans of the Rust-Oleum paint you had to use? And did you paint the back side? thank you. Money is really really tight right now and I can't decide before I have an estimated cost.

[@AtCharlottesHouse]

I made a custom color so ended up mixing paint a bit, but... no more than 1 quart! I left the back without paint. :)
