Steal This Look: My Mini Garden Shed in a Garage - Gardenista

I have a vintage 1920s garage with an original triple door that folds open like an accordion to welcome a Model T There s only one problem...
...After a recent remodel the house is so big that no Ford or Fiat for that matter can squeeze past the master bedroom to reach the garage
Some people might have flagged this as a design flaw before construction got underway.
My single-car garage has doors that open wide. The tabletop is 36 inches off the floor–the standard height of kitchen counters and a comfortable height for me.
Last year I bought a Clematis ‘Starry Nights’ and planted it in full sun, against the garage. A similar large, staked Starry Nights Clematis in a 3.6-gallon container is $74 from Monrovia.
Sheets of pegboard are mounted inside the shed on the back and side walls.
Sheets of heavy duty Commercial Grade Tempered Wood Pegboard measure 24 by 48 inches and are a sturdy choice if you are storing heavy...
...tools Unlike conventional pegboard which is made of layers of glued cardboard wood pegboard will not fray or dry out 42 98 from Amazon
Made of hand-forged steel, a pair of Japanese Garden Pruners is $109 from Kaufmann Mercantile.
A heavy duty 10 Meter Field Tape in a coated steel case is on sale for $19 (marked down from $35) at Guideboat.
A pair of steel-handled Scissors from a Chinese scissors and knife company that has been in business since the 1600s is 8 inches long; $12 from Brook Farm General Store.
My White Clay Ben Wolff Pots come from Connecticut potter Wolff’s One Of A Kind inventory (an ever-changing selection of discounted and discontinued pots).
A small pair of brass and iron Heirloom Scissors is $14 from West Elm.
This is one of my special twines I am a big fan of Nutscene s Ball O Twine 8 from Ancient Industries and of...
...big soft balls of Unbranded Jute Twine Shown for 2 33 from Home Depot and of Waxed Hemp Twine 6 97 from Consumer Crafts
I store bags of potting soil and fertilizer (for my roses, plus phosphate for my citrus trees) in lidded metal bins that fit conveniently beneath the work surface.
An 11-gallon galvanized Knodd Bin With Lid has a slim profile with a diameter of 16.25 inches; $24 from Ikea.
On the shelves I store my nickel Haws Plant Mister ($19.95 from Amazon) and little terra cotta pots for seedlings.
Half of my shed is reserved for hanging long-handled tools and saws with teeth like Red Riding Hood’s wolf (I segregate them so I won’t absentmindedly brush up against something sharp when I am potting or transplanting).
Padlocked against twine thieves, my garage keeps a low profile.
