How we turned a shed into and art studio.

We got an amazing barn when we bought The Return Homestead. A 400-square-foot lean-to shed had been added on the southwest side of the barn. The structure had been framed and then covered with a metal roof and siding, making a dry space sufficient for outdoor storage. We used spray foam to seal the holes created by the ribs in the metal. Then we used Reflectix to seek the rafter bays, added insulation to the ceiling, built a dividing wall, and installed a new door. We pulled electrical circuits for lighting and power outlets. After that, we hung drywall, taped, mudded, textured, and painted the newly formed art studio.
