Before:


After:

Isn't it just the cutest shed EVER?! We painted it to match the house, and the shingles are the same as the house, too. It's 8 feet square, so bigger than it looks in the picture...plenty of room for all of our yard and garden stuff. We built it this weekend using a kit from Lowe's. That was nice because everything was pre-measured and cut, so we just had to paint and nail it together. We may not live in this house for more than a few more years, but it should add resale value. I am going to put a little extra soil around the cinder blocks at the base and plant some grass, then put a trellis with a climbing honeysuckle on the right wall. Then it will be more integrated into the landscape.

Good idea with the plantings - at first glance I thought it was a photoshopped version of a plan to build a shed (partially because the new paint makes it bright, too). :-))

Very nice at any rate - reminds me of the elephant barn near Ft. Worden ("we'll save you money!"), but in the best way possible. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about. :-)
