You have a great eye for design. I'm looking into starting some spring projects myself and always like your posts for inspiration. I think my laundry room is going to be my first project, thinking about attempting to paint my house as well, I really need new siding but wouldn't mind buying myself a year to do that. I'm also looking into getting a shed in my backyard but not just a tool shed, was thinking more along the lines of a she shed, not a girly one more so of an office/studio for myself

A she shed... LOL I had to google it, thats pretty cool! You know I think they sell prefabricated ones that are super nice looking and look very cute for a couple thousand dollars, but id imagine in Chicago it would be cold as hell unless you insulated it somehow! You have an actual laundry room? I have a laundry nook under my stairs in the basement, and its exposed.
When I say laundry room I'm using the term room very loosely. I have a small little entrance way that has my slop sink, furnace, hot water heater and m washer and dryer. My house is on the smaller side and has very poor options for storage so I really need to find a way to make the best use of my space.
As far as shesheds go there's a company called TuffShed in the Chicagoland area. I found a really nice guy at one of them who offered to help save me some money. When they sell the premade "studio" style sheds they typically triple the price because its a studio and not a shed. He told me to have my gf find some pics on pinterest, bring them in and he can make like a $1300 shed look exactly like it with the addition of some windows and stuff and come in at about a quarter of the price of a predesigned she shed. I'm gonna make it a little yoga studio slash office for myself. I'm planning on insulating it and I have power running out there so for a small space I think a space heater should be able to get things comfortable if I turn it on 15 minutes before heading out tehre to work.
Do you live in a "chicago ranch?" it sounds just like my sisters house. A yoga studio sounds awesome...you must have a larger backyard than me...mine is pretty small and is mostly taken up by a monstrosity of a deck so I wouldnt be able to fit anything like that im my yard.
