GARDEN SHED REDO

Say hello to my new and improved
garden shed.


Last time I told you I was always looking for ways
to camouflage my
old, ugly, beige
shed.


Well this week I
went to town on it...
...and I'm liking the results.



Now I didn't do the whole thing, just the front.
The rest is another project,
maybe in the Fall.
First thing I did was
prime and paint it
sunny yellow,
the doors I painted cream.


What got me going was finding this
louver door panel for 12.99.
Painted that bad boy bright blue.


Decided to spray paint
my baby bed springs black
so it would pop a bit more on the cream doors.


Attached the shutters with a little eye screw
and some clear fishing line.

Can you see the little birds on top?


I found these on my latest outing to the
antique/junk shop.
Fifteen dollars.

Just drilled a little whole and slid them in.
Love it!

So there it is...what do you think?

    I LOVE it! The birds are the finishing touch! So perfect! It must not be hot and horribly humid where you live!

    This is wonderful and so creative and so much fun! I'd love to have a space like this. We have an old shed about this size that needs some attention. And I just saw some louvered doors at Restore. Thanks for all your great ideas - bookmarking this :)

    what a fun project. I love how you repurposed all the items. I, too, have louvered doors painted blue as backdrops on my deck. They are such fun to work with.

    I love it. I just love little garden sheds and have been wanting one for some time. I think maybe in the fall we will be able to build mine. Yours has so much charm now. Thanks for sharing it at the party.

    A job well done! The birds provide a cute ornament that really fit in with the garden environment. Paying attention to the shed has a handful of nice benefits, don't you think? It looks pretty alongside the nature around it.
