Backyard Storage Shed

Last year, we built this little shed in the backyard
and I finally got around to painting it!

Even though we are just storing odds and ends in it,

I can see the shed from the kitchen window and

the rest of the yard, so I wanted it to be cute.

I wanted to use up old paint I already had,

so I mixed some outdoor green and blue and 

came up with this.

We used a door we already had 

and cut it in two to make a Dutch door.

(I have always wanted one of these!)

The window we also had on hand,

it just needed a coat of paint to match everything.

Since it's at the end of our half acre yard,

and near the "orchard" (okay, a few fruit trees),

I added a couple of chairs for a spot to rest!

This was only 1 of many outdoor projects I have
been tackling this summer, and I'm
so happy with the results!
