If you’re like me, the idea of piling my gardening tools on a shelf in the shed is so boring. I like to get creative with my storage. Add to that one of my latest crafty obsessions of reclaiming old furniture and finding a new use for it and voila! You’ve got garden storage made from an old dresser.

Renovate an old dresser with a handsome new paint job and some creativity to store your backyard tools inside your shed.
Here’s a beauty found on Sophia’s Decor, an old dresser painted green and given a vintage look with a stenciled flower ad on the front.
