I'm Finally Making Over My "She Shed" Workbench! (Video 3 or 3) - Thrift Diving
#ad - My workbench is done! (Psst! Go back and watch Video 1 and 2). This is the final video where I’m teaming up with @haierappliances to make over my workbench and add a sleek beverage center to my “she shed”!
Where I left off: I had cut a 4’x 8’ sheet of plywood in two, stained and topcoat it. Next up: sewing a cute workbench skirt to store and hide my tools and materials UNDER the workbench.
I had a mishap with sewing the skirt and had to completely start over! The ultimate DIY fail. But the beauty of making mistakes is coming up with an even better solution. :)
See how I turned this cluttered workbench space into a cozy, bright, airy space, with a faux “built-in” beverage center under ...

Finishing the Interior of a "She Shed" Workshop! (w/Guest Diane Dains) - #139

I love hearing from other women who decided to make the leap and buy a "she shed" to turn it into a workshop! Reader and fellow DIYer in the Thrift Diving community, Diane Dains, did that very thing: she bought a huge 16' x 28' shed to use as a workshop, but she decided that she would finish off the interior herself. She even hired an electrician to be her "teacher" to oversee her interior wiri...

‘Twas the night before thrifting, when all through the house Not an outfit needed washing, not even a blouse; The laundry was folded by the dryer with care, In hopes that tomorrow I’ll buy more things to wear; My husband was nestled all snug in our bed, Asleep after accusing that I’m hoarding again; And my boys in their jammies, asleep in a snap, “Finally! I’m free!” I whisper and clap, When ou...

I Painted These Kitchen Cabinets. What Looks Best?? - Thrift Diving
Beautiful job and great tips. Thank you.
Gorgeous.
Great job!
That's why we have codes. The next person who buys the house, these cut corners become their problem.
I love watching your videos I am starting on my she shed
It's cheaper if you buy 5 gal buckets.
Thia beautifully designed. I do appreciate your ideas and talent. 💕💕
Please refinish my grandmas tub / shower! She needs help
Lol love your work
Oooo that looks scary! Never knew so much went into making a chair! No wonder new ones are so expensive! Will be watching to see how you fix it up
I don't love the pink or floral wallpaper, but i love that you did it! I've always been a huge proponent of personalizing furniture and decor in ways that suite your style. Its your house, fill it with things you love! The methods in this DIY are still quite useful for anyone trying to personalize their own piece of furniture.
Can you keep these planters outside the porch?Can they withstand sun and rain?
Nice job! 😎
In South Africa toilet pipe is behind the toilet through the wall.
What did you use in the power washer to clean your rug?
Excellent video.
Absolutely GORGEOUS. You are so creative and make everything so custom. 2nd fabric choice huge improvement over the first.
Thank you!! It was hilarious how a friend of mine laughed on my face when I showed them a picture of the first fabric! 🤣 They said, "I've never seen a project of yours that I didn't like......until now." Lol!
I'm doing the exact same thing. Thanks for the video👍🏼
Love this what a great job you did!
I'm so glad you like it!! So much more hidden space to store things out of the way.
Calm down! It’s just a bug! They’re not going to kill you.
Your she shed gets better and better. I love the new curtain and the clever way you've created the hidden curtain rail. That pop of pink against the black works nicely with your window coverings, withouut overwhelming them. I'm smiling at your teens popping in for a beverage. Aren't you a clever mom? I don't know if your community has home tours, but if they do, touring your space and all the changes would be amazing.
I love the new curtains, very chic. On the right side of the window, are those hanging planters holding yarn?
U ROCK SERENA!! ❤ IT
You saved it! It looks so good. I like the beverage center out there. Helps them get extra steps in. Lol.
And now I feel like I have to keep stocking it with the low-sugar sodas JUST to get them to come out to say "hi"! lol Thank you!
Yeeees....I love this new cover-up. Everything is so neat...I could hibernate there😂😂. Thanks for sharing
That's what it feels like: hibernating....hiding out....running away....! As much as I want this to be my workshop, I spent a lot of time in here at my desk, too. I didn't (and don't) want it to feel like it's just a dirty place to work with tools. It has to be a retreat-like space! :)
Looks great!
Very nice!!!
well done
It looks AWESOME!!! 🥰I can't believe how big your boys are ..... God Bless you and your family... 🙏🏼❤
I love it, and am so envious. I have a shed on my property that I want to transform into a “she shed,” so you’ve been such an inspiration for me. Thanks for the wonderful ideas!!!
Brilliant.❤
Looks so pretty and nicely organized!
Uhhhhhh, awesome! I love it! The colors are gorgeous! I like how you placed the little curtain over the fridge. 👍
Thank you so much, Maria! I didn't even realize I needed to add that until I was nearly finished and was like, "Hmm...can't leave that open like that." I love how ideas comes once a project is underway! :)
@ThriftDiving That is "A productive mind!" 🤩
What a great job you did, love it.
It's always a pleasure watching you. So educational ❤
Pretty .... very She Shed! .....
Very cute! And I love the idea of the curtain tracks and strip lighting underneath. So did you (or would you) repurpose the first set of curtains? Just asking and I would love to see 😊. If not, that's your choice. I'm not going to complain or nag you about it. I know how that gets...lol
Gorgeous! 😊
Love it
Beautiful upgrade. I LOVE the hot pink trim on the black and white polka dot curtains. Beverages is a brilliant lure for "visitors" to stop in to chat, so smart! 2:32 I also prefer to hide supplies. I mostly use baskets and inside cabinets. The curtains are perfect. They are not as expensive as cabinets and much better looking than wire racks or shelving. This is my first time watching one of your videos and may I say, I am totally shocked and awed that you know to use biscuit joiners so your front edge wood doesn't come apart. I'm so impressed. The entire room looks fresh and organized and ready for your next project. Im looking forward to finding out what it is.
Looks fantastic! Makes me want one. Just gotta get a house first ...🥴
Something to add to your Wish List! :) Good luck getting a house. These interest rates are insane!
FABULOUS!!❤
Thank you so much! I still want to do a few things to the workbench, like try to add and disguise my JET air filtration system. It's big and bulky and needs to be up high, but I don't want to mount it to the ceiling. So I'm thinking of building a shelf for it on the workbench.
Hello lovely,,, Hope ya well Serena what a great job have a nice weekend phil. Uk ❤💐
Phil!!! My favorite UK'er! :) How have you been!
@@ThriftDiving IAM flattered 😂. IAM ok thanks dear busy composing xx
i love that they go in there for drinks and a chat! great project. thank you for sharing!
The "chat" usually goes, "Can I get a Celcius?" My response: "No, they're not FOR you. You're too young for all that caffeine." HA! I have to hide the key from them. They'll come in and just raid the drinks!
Gorgeous!!! love the curtains
Thank you! I tell you--the colorful ones threw me into a tailspin. I was like, "HOW am I going to fix this??" And I just happened to find the better fabric with polka dots at Walmart! It didn't cost very much, thankfully!
