MODERN COTTAGE

Before  

I ignored my step-child shed for quite a while because I had so many other things to do in my fixer upper. But eventually I could not ignore the sore spot in my landscape any longer. So I quickly painted it yellow and added a tree design on either side of the door. Good enough for about a year and then I noticed how the mildew (my southern climate) just kept creeping into the color and the wood trim was rotting out. But that's not all, the shingles needed replacing too.

​Wow, the job is getting bigger already, add my design ideas to the picture and it was going to be quite a makeover.

After

I was tossing all kinds of colors around in my head but in the end decided to go with a lemon yellow, close to what I had before, only because my house color is blue. The barn style was ordinary and plain, not very interesting, so I decided to attach a small roof and a porch to give it a little character. The porch was designed to create a small reprieve for the Gardner, lol, and her future vegetable garden. 
You know by know, that I love stone, so for my shed I used pavers to establish a border, I happen to find rounded edging stones, same texture as the pavers, in a corner of my property and utilized them for a border effect. The trellis on either side of the door gave it a nice finishing touch.
