Casa de Twice Lovely

Well, It’s about monsoon storm season in Arizona.  This was very worrisome to a woman who works with wood furniture, predominantly outdoors.  We had a few days in a row of the big ol’ thunderheads rolling in by mid-afternoon, so I started pricing out canopy enclosures to be the new Twice Lovely workshop.  Those puppies are pricey!  (At least for this cheapskate…)  But my BFF Craigslist came through for me again.  I found a 10’ x 20’ (one car garage size) vented pitched roof enclosure with “windows” and everything for $150.  It was only used once and in pristine condition.  I’m a happy girl, with shade AND protection from the elements.  A fantastic business investment, if you ask me.  :)

I’d show you the inside, but I don’t want to spoil any surprises.  It’s filled with lots of goodies in various stages of completion.  :)

  2. I have to paint outside too since the garage is full of my husbands toys. This is a great idea!

  3. What a great idea. I live in AZ too! I love this idea. It is way cheaper than trying to build something.
