I finally got a garden shed.

I have been wanting one for so long and have seen so many pretty ones on this forum.

I can't wait to plant the area around the shed with flowers.

    It's a charmer! Looks like you might be able to use it as a greenhouse too.

    I can just see it all planted.

    Happy for you.

    Wow, you even have skylights.

    It looks great.

    When I saw your questions for Vikki, I hoped she would answer soon so I could then tag on to the thread and ask if you ever got a greenhouse. This will be even better!

    Is that a potting bench under the shed, in the shed?

    You will really enjoy this, it is great.

    Oh boy! This is so similar to what I would like for a shed/greenhouse/outdoor shower area!! I LOVE THIS! It's awesome!

    Yes Nell that is potting bench under the shed outside. I will also have one inside.

    I added the skylights so I could overwinter some of my ferns and potted plants. Not sure how that will work out since the shed is not heated. But our winters do not get very cold.

    I really just wanted a place to store all my "garden stuff" so that it is out of site but easy to get to when needed.

    I love it. That long overhang really makes it look great.

    Oh - that's really cute! It's also similar to what I want, actually, except I want the porch area more as a sitting area.

    Faye,
    What a great looking garden shed. Lots of windows and sky lights will be great for winter storage and starting seeds. I can see a flowering vine climbing up the post to the overhand. Can't wait to see it all planted up.

    That is a great shed/work area/greenhouse! How smart to combine so many different aspects. Did you get a good rain the past 2 days? I sure hope so. I have out planting all AM. Looks like no more for a while though ...sigh. Please post as you plant it up...really looks GREAT !! c

    Trail,
    Yes we got 3 inches yesterday and it is raining today as well. We really needed it. I had huge cracks in the yard. I have clay soil and when it gets dry it cracks wide open. I could lose a leg if I am not careful where I step.

    I will be sure to add more pictures as the shed bed develops.

    Faye, what a great little garden shed, I love the overhang and the potting bench on the outside especially nice when it's hot out, a nice place for a couple of chairs and a small table too.

    Your shed looks great and I'm happy that you already have plans with it. I'd like something like that also someday. Punk

    It looks like a winner. Is the shed part about 8 x 12? You are going to love it, and you were very smart to have a nice big shed-roof shelter on the back. I'm sure that shade in Alabama is welcome at least half the year.

    Who gets to paint it? You? :-)

    You will send us follow-up photos, right?

    Thinman,
    I am the holder, getter, and painter. I am going to start the painting this weekend. Yes in this heat????
    The shed is 8 x 12 and the lean-to on the side is 10 x 12 I think.

    and shade is alway nice in Alabama :-)

    Doin' the happy shed dance for you! : ) That looks like a great place for plants and garden goodies. I like the lean-to area, too. You can make a mess out there at the potting table and still keep the inside somewhat clean. Nice!

    Haha! I am the holder, getter and painter, too. So what color are you going to paint it?

    Oh WOW!!! I have a terrible case of shed envy! I love every little thing about your shed.

    I'd post a picture of mine and ask for advice on fixing it up but I fear it would break the camera!

    Congratulations!! Can't wait to see how you make it even more stunning.

    Wow! That is so neat! It is almost exactly what I want. Please keep us posted on what you do with it.

    That's a beauty!
    So proud for you.

    Be sure to post more pics as you paint and plant flowers and again later when the flowers have time to grow. I too like the overhang in the back. Very handy dandy indeed.

    Congratulations.
