Symphony in the Garden Shed
I spent an hour yesterday practicing and playing my ukulele in my newly renovated little garden retreat - it was lovely! And, playing it has been so much fun this summer. Other family members play guitar, Sophie and I on ukulele and lots of singers have lead to many 'jam' sessions in our dining room and on the deck...we may have to take this show on the road :)
xo!

Garden Shed 'Project Redecorate' ~ The Reveal!
...finally!
It took much longer to complete than I originally planned
but I LOVE it!!!!
Here is a link to the 'Befores'
and here is
'The Reveal'!
The trim is called Coastal Beige and the orangey-yellow is Honey Locust. All the paint is Behr. I also 'pruned' my collection of rusty garden antiques for a cozy but less cluttered, junky look :). |
My wrought iron table and chairs got a coat of rust resistant black spray paint. |
A comfy wicker rocker is a peaceful spot for reading, a cup of tea, ukulele playing and snugging with our kitty! |
...just for me! |
Window Box close-up. |
I loved this color so much I painted the window boxes on the garage too! |
I'm so excited! I'm going to play my ukulele here this afternoon!

It's Your Move....
...they are actually playmates.
This little chipmunk waits at our back door
for Ethel to come out - it's a hoot!

Summer Crafts and 'Baking'
Our most recent projects include making a string of punched tin lights for the Bunkie and trying every popsicle recipe we could find!
Tin Lights 1 string of mini lights 25 tin cans (we raided the recycling for ours - thankfully, being summer, there was not shortage of beer cans to round out the number we needed :) hammer and nail |
I removed the top of each can and gave them a good cleaning. Sophie found it easier to just jab the can with the nail. |
This is the finished strand on our kitchen counter (nice wavy panorama :). |
And the final installation in the Bunkie - they look fabulous!! |
Enjoy!
Ideas for our next projects include Glow Bubbles, whipped cream waffle cones and water balloon splat paintings! I'll keep you posted...

Garden Shed 'Project Redecorate" ~ Days 5 and 6
I've been all over the map painting this and then that without rhyme or reason, mostly wanting to try out all the colors! And at the moment, everything is started and absolutely NOTHING is finished - but I am making progress, slowly but surely! We have company coming for the long weekend so it will be late next week before I'm done...
and sooooo, no more photos until the grand reveal!
ps. I LOVE the color on the flower box!!
