How lucky you are, and what a great use for the space! It looks great—your hard work is paying off! My husband had a similar idea for one section of a farm-type shelter we enclosed. (It has 3 sections: a workshop, a storage area, and a “showroom.”) (ahem) But…of course, we managed to fill it right up and it is still filled up after a few years. Your “Sugar Shack” has inspired me to work on our space and actually use it like you are! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you so much Karen! Coming from you, that means a lot!!!

I’m so happy The Sugar Shack is so close to home, it makes it so much easier to stock.

I’m always happy to share my tips and what works for me to make it easier on my friends.

I used Behr white base untinted. Just out of the can the way the base comes. My goal was to make it look cleaner and brighter, so I really appreciate your comment. It seems I did both! 🙂

Yes, it was a lot of work. Luckily I have a battery operated fan, that was very helpful!

Thanks Lizzy!

hahah You always make me smile Bliss. I did make a sign, and it’s hanging outside. The building has no address, so there needs to be a way of identifying the building if someone needs to stop by. 🙂
I hope you checked out the outside of the building. It looks soooo awesome. I’m so proud of how well it turned out. I have officially filled up the building with lots of finished projects.

Wow! Gail, I am always so inspired by you! Truly you are my DIY hero and inspiration. The “sugar shack” looks amazing and I can’t wait to see the outside. What a wonderful space you have created!

Love the tips on painting the concrete floors, thank you!

Well I want to see the outside so… I’ll be back. And Ahhhnold expects to see a sign hanging somewhere that says Sugar Shack, although maybe not outside in case past people who used the place for “various purposes” come back.

That was A LOT of work! Which white paint did you use? It looks so clean and bright. Great job!

Well, in all honesty, the inside could use a floor and baseboard. But I’m hoping the furniture will be pretty enough so people won’t notice. 😉

yes! I’ve been wanting to do this for so long…but no building has worked out until now.

I feel really blessed! Hoping it works out really well.
