Like all gardeners, I too dream of a potting place to call my own, a garden shed to house the tools, the pots, bags of soil and what nots that seem to collect each year. I vision a rustic shack made from salvaged and rescued materials, alot of windows for sunlight and a cozy corner to rest with a glass of iced tea. This would be my spot, my corner of the garden to plan, research and relax from all weeding.
It doesn't have to be modern, I prefer it not to be. I'm a big fan of recycle, reuse and my local ReStore where I can find much of the materials cheap plus it allows me to get creative. I've seen a whole greenhouse made out of old windows, sheds from chicken coops, even a old school bus transformed into a hip gardening shop, so the possibilities are endless with a little thought.
This is our first spring in our new house, with 2 acres that has never really been landscaped. A garden used to exist but you can't tell now so we are starting from scratch, a blank canvas to play with. I'm excited! A garden shed is a must, it will free up room in the garage and placed near the garden, will save time. So, I'm on the hunt for used materials, a old wash tub, tons of windows and old barn wood for that rustic feeling I love so much. My garden shed won't look like the photo above, but instead, will show off my devotion to gardening, organization and love of shabby chic decorating. Hey, a girl has to have some frills and lace, no matter the space!


6 notes from farmstead friends...:
I have always wanted a garden/potting shed of my own. I have a potting bench but no shed to house it. Your ideas have inspired me. Thanks.
It looks like a doll house. I would love to have something like this in our yard. My dh is a big gardener.
Came here from Harbor Hon's blog - she's my sister! Honestly - if I had a shed that was like the one in your picture I'd have to use it as a spare "hide-away" room for myself and put the poor little potting plants outside. That shed looks quite inviting!
I converted my garage into my "summer house" and love it!
Thanks for the pictures are superb. So long and do not forget you are welcome anytime on geaninacodita.blogspot.com
I hope you get to build a darling garden shed real soon..one that suits you perfectly.;0) hoping you have a lovely week. I have been away from blog visiting for far too long..wanted to stop by and say "hello".
hugs, Tina
