Plans For Sheds

I would like to buy a basic wooden garden shed with a wood floor and turn it into a art studio or office.

How much should I plan to spend? Do wooden garden sheds come insulated? If I don’t put windows in the garden shed is that wrong?

I would have electricity inside and plug in a portable heater. Inside would also be a small bed or cott for naps. One of the garden sheds I’m looking at has a woodpanel wall and the door is unpainted wood. I would like to paint the inside and paint the inside of the door.

Any suggestions?
A cement slab floor would be okay also. I could put rugs inside.

Even though this is very basic and silly I have thought about setting up a garden shed in my parents backyard that I could put a cott or bed in. This way I could have some privacy and space from my parents. My laptop has wireless internet. Since the wooden garden shed would have electricity I could pug in a electric portable heater.

The shed would have a concrete floor that I could put rugs on.

The only disadvantage to the shed would be no windows inside or restroom inside. I could go inside the restroom inside the house.

I’m not hand enough to install windows. The inside of the shed would have a wood panel wall and a door that is unpainted. To solve the window solution I could paint the inside of the door a color or design that is something nice to look at.

On thing that may bother me is closing the door while inside at night sleeping. I guess I could get over that.

My parents house is located in a very safe area.

The backyard is gated and fenced.

I’m in my late 20s. We don’t have a basement in our house. This garden shed has a locking door and is very hard to break into.

I could buy this camping tent heater to put inside a shed. It does not casue flames.

Where I live we have very mild winters. The coldest it gets is 60 degrees at night. Winds arent a paroblem. The shed could be insulated I guess.

For years I have had a dream of buildind or buying a garden shed to use as an art studio and on some nights acually sleep in. Even though I’m in my 20s my parents would still allow me to do this in their backyard. On some weekend nights I would sleep in the shed with my sleeping bag. I would get some time to myself and get an opportunity to read books alone while escaping TV,computer and radio.

Due to the size of the shed I would be unable to put in a restroom. The inside would look like a cabin with light borwn woodfinsh walls and a green door on both sides. The floors would be polished wood with rugs.

Several people who I have asked about this idea many times think its time to drop the idea and end the dream. Should I do this to get it out of my system or forget it?

Many girls laugh at this idea? My male friends think I"m crazy.

If I woke up in the middle of the night sleeping inside this garden shed with the door closed would I or any other person feel like they are trapped or in prison?

I’m thinking about using a garden shed as a place to relax and have privacy. The shed has battery operated lanterns. I will paint the walls green or blue. The inside of the door will be painted sky blue,green, dark blue or aqua.

The floors are made of wood and have rugs covering the wood.

Inside will also be a cot for naps. A comforable chair will also be inside.

How would it be to be inside and read for two hours and the door would be closed? Would it be uncomfortable? What about taking an afternoon nap inside with the door closed?

Many people think I should get over being afraid to close the door to the shed.

Any suggestions?

The door to the shed does not have a doornob. It has a latch on the inside of the door like restroom stalls.

I"m open to other colors for the door and walls if someone has better ideas for calming colors.

Its 65 degrees outside currently. AC isn’t necessary.
Would you close the door or leave it open if you were inside?

In my backyard in California I have a garden shed in my backyard that someone offered to rent out as a place to sleep. The garden shed doesn’t have a restroom and has no windows. The flooring is cement with rugs.It has electricity and a heater as well as a door with a lock. Is it illegal to rent out a garden shed? The person interested is a 20 year old girl.
The girl doesn’t cook. She claims that she can use the restroom inside the house.
I feel sorry enough for the girl that I would be willing not to charge her to live in the shed at all.
