~Our Garden 2010 – The Garden Shed Project~

My little shed is getting a face lift!  As you can see it has seen better days cosmetically…but it’s still a good little shed!  I had thought of getting rid of it but changed my mind and am glad I did!  It has become so useful!  Not only does it hold all the garden tools and lawnmower but all our bottles and recycling too!

So to improve the little shed I’m going to paint it a fun color:image

 

The shed itself will be Herbal Garden, trim will be Cotton Fluff (or just plain white).  Our house is grey and white so it is the accent color.  Then on the side of shed I’m going to hang a couple of flower planters off the side and paint them the Chopped Chive color.  In them I’m going to plant some pretty green and white flowers.  Total cost for this little project?  Probably around $40 for the paint.  Planters will be made with leftover wood around the house and flowers will be picked up with the rest of my flowers for the beds and I have ordered Rona gift cards with my Airmiles to pay for them.  I will have leftover paint that I can use to paint other planters too! 

I’m working on this little project this weekend on my “Mother’s Day” I can’t wait to show off pictures of the finished project!  Keep posted for the update!
