We’ve all been there: coming home from vacation with a ukulele you’ll never play, a snow globe destined for a dusty shelf, or an “authentic” souvenir that never quite finds its place. These trinkets are memories—family mementos to cherish—but let’s face it, they don’t always have a place in your daily life.

Enter Lela Burris, founder of Organized-ish. Notice the “ish”? That’s no accident. Lela’s philosophy isn’t about rigid perfection. Instead, she empowers people to embrace their quirks—whether proudly displaying a comic book collection, storing childhood toys, or curating holiday decor with flair. Her secret? Finding creative, personalized ways to organize what matters most.

So when Lela Burris approached Tuff Shed to create a custom Premier Pro Tall Ranch – 12′ wide by 18′ long shed, we were thrilled to collaborate. After all, her mission—to blend functionality with individuality—aligns perfectly with what we do: building spaces that adapt to your life, not the other way around.

A Shed Designed for Dual Duty (and Front-Yard Flair)

Lela’s vision? A shed with a partitioned interior to juggle multiple passions at once. One side became a sunlit oasis for seed starting and gardening, while the other stores holiday decorations and lawn equipment. But here’s the twist: She didn’t tuck this gem away in the backyard. Nope—it’s front and center, elevating her home’s curb appeal.

And the installation? It was an event in itself! The Tuff Shed team joined Lela to document the entire process—from delivery to final touches—capturing the magic of bringing her vision to life. 

Imagine neighbors driving by and spotting a shed that seamlessly complements her house, adding charm and character to the streetscape. In fact, after the build, neighbors couldn’t resist slowing down for a closer look—some even joked about causing a “shed-induced traffic jam”! It’s proof that great design doesn’t just organize your life—it becomes a neighborhood conversation starter.

Better yet, Lela’s front-yard shed doubles as a community hub during holidays like Halloween. Think of it as a seasonal “spirit squad” decked out in festive decor, spreading joy to the entire neighborhood.

Follow the Journey (and Steal Her Tips!)

The best part? Lela is documenting her shed’s transformation in real time on social media. Follow along as she shares clever storage hacks (yes, even we’ve picked up a trick or two!) and proves that organization doesn’t have to mean sacrificing personality.

Stories like Lela’s are what the Tuff Shed community is all about—crafting spaces that reflect your passions, solve your challenges, and yes, even spark a little envy from the neighbors.
