The Shed And Garden

We've been doing work on our yard ever since we moved in, in 2013. First came the curbing and grass, which we loved! Then trees and flowers. Dustin even crafted some stone planter's boxes in the front! His last two projects have been really big and time consuming. 

Last fall he decided it was time to build his shed. He couldn't take not having one any longer. We fit 3 cars in our garage, but we had a 4 wheeler, snow plow attachment,  deep freezer, bikes, scooters, wagon, and tolls and lawn care items. We needed a shed! He started it mid August. I didn't think to take a picture until it was mostly done:

He found a nice spot in the corner by all the other neighbor's sheds. I'm pretty sure the neighbor's thought this would be an ordinary brown shed, but they were wrong. We wanted it to be pretty and have a pop of color. We decided on a gray-blue, so we thought. We ended up with this:

 It is bright, but with the wood accents, we loved it. Our neighbors? Not so much. One even asked if there was a sale on blue paint...oh, well. We love how it turned out. My favorite are the barn doors Dustin made himself!

This summer Dustin decide it was time to build our garden box. In our last home, he made a few small ones for me. Since our yard is bigger, we allotted a certain area as "garden" when we were planning out our yard. I love how it turned out! Dustin is so handy and loves to build things. I'm grateful I get to benefit from that love!!

 He used pine and corrugated tin. He treated pine to be weather proof.

 We also put solar lights in the corner. It looks pretty at night.

  

The shed and garden make a great combo. We stained the garden box to match the planter's box on the window of the shed.
