This backyard shed was custom designed from the ground up. The framing was built to meet a certain roof height, wall AC unit and a large side window. Details coming soon.
Every piece of woodwork was spaced evenly and staggered for the effect. It was a tough creation, but definitely rewarding. The stairwell accent will surely catch the attention of houseguests. Green seems to be popular as all of the fall colors change.
I’ve done something similar to this in the past but every accent wall has unique qualities. Dimensions and design play a big role, but the focal point is what matters.
The electric fireplace was 8 inch (“) deep and the TV mount retracted the TV to around 7 7/8”. So, I framed the 3D TV wall 8 1/8″ out. With the 1/2″ drywall, the custom build out was 8 5/8″ deep.
When you think about most homes these days, the black and white shiplap theme is everywhere. I didn’t want to mimic trends on this project. With full autonomy, I didn’t want tp follow the status quo..
I didn’t have a choice but to continue a half built custom design. It took a few hours to get a feel for it. Nothing was easy. Overgrown grass and busted trellis made it even more fun. Nothing beats custom decking…
Building on blocks is a little bit tougher than other leveling methods (in my opinion). You have to basically shimmy the stones until all sides are level. I’ve built a bunch of these so my son and I have a good process. If you’re doing this yourself, don’t forget..
I custom built this modern designed wooden carport connected to a side entrance up in Bartlett. I used treated pine lumber and black metal roof panels with matching flashing.
When asked to build an off-house covering for this comfy backyard, I couldn’t say no. The homeowners were great hosts as unpredictable rains extended the project a bit.
Last month, I was interviewed for an article featured on Redfin about wainscoting. Aside from my personal definition, I provided tips on design and why a pro contractor is best.
