Saturday finally arrived, and I was out in the pasture early, taking a look at my completed shed, and making plans for the interior.
The first task was a trip to Home Depot to buy a couple of 4 x 8 foot pieces of Beaded Board to nail to the walls. I wanted something that looks a little finished, rather than looking at the bare studs and the exterior siding. We cut the board to fit, and then carried it out and nailed it in place. It looks great! Next weekend, we will buy a couple more pieces and get the inside finished so I can paint it. It's already primed, and won't take too much time.
I finished the weekend by re-purposing an old bookcase into storage for my books and supplies, and then moved my 'cow table" (so named because a border of cows is painted around the perimeter of the table) into the shed to serve as my desk. I added a clock with a thermometer on it, and an old doll cupboard my grandfather made for my aunt in 1918. Its six drawers make it perfect for storing small items.
I still need to come up with a transparent colored stain for the floor, and a color for the joists and wall above the beaded board. What an exciting first weekend!
