Organize Your Garden Stuff....Part Two

Yesterday, I told you how Lowe's challenged me (and sponsored me) to organize something. You may remember that I cleaned my tools before I organized them. If you are wondering how I decided to tidy up the inside of my shed....here is a clue.

This might be a good time to tell you that the disorganization is what lead to my bypass pruners obsession....but aren't they clean?
Now you need to see how I got here...It all started like this.

This is not staged....wait, it gets better

You know it would look so much cleaner if we didn't keep those golf clubs....just sayin.
On the other side, you ask

Do bikes and crutches go together?
Here is the best part, until this challenge...I didn't think it was that bad, well....compared to my garage.
Starting with this wall, I added two studs

A friend of mine used to say that the stud finder would go off every time he walked by it.
A trip to Lowe's for some pegboard cut to size (thank you Lowe's man who obsesses over measurements more than I).

Install the pegboard

Go ahead....add some trim around it....it's a girl's shed! 

Recognize the trim? You know how I like to use door casing.
Next, I added these full length shelves

Now this side looks like this

Can you see the bucket of oily sand? 
What about the other side? I'm so glad you asked. Using this system...I hung the bikes and the golf clubs.

Yes, that would be a 10-speed bike. It's vintage, and so is the man who doesn't rides it.
Other tools

I fell in love, that sounds a bit weird...with these hooks! 
As you can see, I have room for more tools...yeah.

Let's review....I went from this

To this

Now let's play a game....what is this?

Lowe's Gift Card Giveaway....my challenge!

Update - Gift Card Winner

Congratulations Michelle!! 

Hello Friends! It is time for another Lowe's Garden Challenge! Yes, I am taking a quick break from the One Room Challenge to venture outside in this oppressive, humid, yucky weather....AND I am going to motivate you into tackling a project of your own...but for now, just watch me do it. As promised, at the end of my song and dance, there will be a chance for you to win this 

First, my Lowe's sponsored challenge: To tackle a tough spot in my yard, and solve a problem. So many to choose from, but this one has been bothering me for quite some time

My sweet little garden shed has lost its curb appeal. Since this is the view from my kitchen window it's time to improve my view or invest in blinds.
Here is the plan

First up, the window boxes. Now, if by some unexplained chance this is your first time visiting my blog, I will let you in on a small fact about me....I am obsessed with window boxes!! Here are my Spring window boxes.
I don't know about you, but I need my window boxes to last a long time. That is why I like to use this stuff.

PVC boards. They are rot free, and will stand up to all weather conditions. Further more...no painting! I used the 7 1/2" widths for the front and back. I used the 5 1/2" for the bottom and sides. 
Simple box construction (don't forget to drill drainage holes in the bottom) and now I have this I like how the faux woodgrain matches the grain of my shed. However, you can get this product in a smooth finish, too.
For the stepping stones, I like these

It looks like thisBy adding mulch in-between the joints it gives the look of individual stones.
A few new plants, two bags of mulch and a whole lot of water breaks...and I went from this 

to this
