Some construction/work-in-progress photos.

Platform for the shed. This was at the end of May.

With common household items for scale. The empty burlap coffee sacks hanging on the right are to keep the inhabitants of our beehives away during construction.

Shed mostly finished - it was prefab, assembled on site.

This is the "West Elm" look. The sign is a street find by my teenager. Not permanent. Middle of June.

Paint! Lauhala matting! Fourthajuly long weekend.

Speaking of burlap... the wall coverings were a a happy accident. I ordered a textured jute wallpaper but the wrong color arrived. But it had the right catalog number, so I couldn't just re-order - the system had it wrong. I tried another retailer and my request for a sample went into the void. So I ordered some burlap instead. It's awesome. If you hang something with a nail and need to move it, the nail hole just vanishes. The fire retardant took forever to dry, though.

My wife sewed curtains for the upper window lights, faux tapa cloth c/o Spoonflower. The window and door trim is 2" bamboo slats from a local landscaping store. The ceiling is reed fencing. As noted upthread, there's trim coming for the perimeter and down the gap.

And then a photo from tonight, with a little accent lighting tossed in.
