Beginning of Creating a Space

To begin at the beginning!  Last spring our family decided to make a move to a different home.  We are still renting, but this new place has more room and is surrounded by a greener environment.  There is a park near by - one street over, and a privacy fence and not in an industrial area like our last home.  So we don't have to listen to the steel plant banging and screeching noise at night, and we see more green instead of an ugly beige industrial building in our backyard.  It is very much an improvement from where we were living.

When this move was in the process - I decided that I needed a back yard art studio.  And after looking at Pinterest  and researching the internet, I realized that I could make do with a small storage building.  My grown daughter and almost grown son live with me in our three bedroom two bath duplex, and there is no room in the house for creating art.  The kitchen table stays pretty occupied with us gathering around it at meal time, and creating art in that space wasn't an option.

I found this storage building on a local Facebook garage sale page.  It had been repossessed by the company, and was not only in very good condition, but already came with some insulation and was a reasonable price for the size of the structure.  The company would move it to my yard and set it up as part of the deal.  I was able to pay cash, and I began to make arrangements to have the spot prepared.
