Before and After of my Potting Shed


OK I want to start with the after or you might not even look. A couple of years ago we changed out our old metal shed, the doors were bent and I had painted it to match the house and did anything I could think of to make it look better, but it was a windowless pit with mice and bees. YUK! I threw tools and stuff in there but never used it to pot up plants or do any work.

My windows open and I have an old window my son put in on the end that looks over my potting bench. My hubby took off the wood ramp that was way to steep and put down this nice big stone step. I painted and added window boxes.




This is the old metal shed, the only picture I could find...need I say more?

I love it!!!! We have a big 12x24 metal shed with a deck all the across the front and one year I put window boxes on the two windows and had them filled with flowers and the Burlys came over and saw it and my oldest son said "Mom! Not the shed!!! Can't dad have a manly place for his tools without you adding window boxes!" lol lol

I told Bill I'd love to put log cabin siding around it and make it look like an old store! lol lol

Hope all is well on your side of the mountain my friend and that you are having a great week.
