Holy mother of awesome! Its a little fancy, high-end, and frilly for me, but this one's undeniably incredible if you're into the Victorian look- IN FACT, this garden retreat/tiny house (which would be GREAT as a small shed office or artists studio) was modeled after old plans for a Victorian OUTHOUSE, believe it or not! This lil' structure was actually built as a playhouse (for his daughter), and is owned by David Wilgus, a freelance illustrator from Davidson, North Carolina. Pretty darn awesome....and fittingly so, its the current cover piece/photo in the brand new issue of "Country Gardens" magazine, which you can find at Lowes, and many other stores. I picked up this issue JUST because of this photo. ------------------------------- Want to build a tiny guest house? Well, we're doing just that, as a group, as part of the upcoming Relaxshacks.com Tiny House-Building Workshop outside Boston. MA- Nov. 2-4.

Travel is a mainstay of my life. (why is this underlining everything???) But, time and finances are too. When not traveling for business, these days it is at home during the weekends doing paperwork, massive quantities of paperwork. For the moment I would rather dream of having an at home escape, a garden shed. Love this one. You can hardly call this a garden shed but maybe a magical structure on water, beautifully decorated and enchanting evening garden house. This is a treasured clients outhouse turned storage shed. Robin's home is an 1870's ish Italianate Victorian and this is the original outhouse. We created the Chicago street brick surround and miniature garden to nestle it within it's surroundings. This is a 100+ year old writer's space detached from the main house. Wild about the door/window curved paneled feature. Any of these structures become immensely important within the confines of a thoughtful garden. I could throw on my wellies, lots of sweaters, light the pot belly stove, hot chocolate, dogs, blankets and magazines Allow your imagination to soar. ANYTHING MADE OF STONE IS SPECTACULAR. Size does not matter, just the details. This could be the shed of my dreams too. A perfect potting shed set within the vegetable garden. Look at that door, the triple eight topiaries, the three dimensional design element near the peak and a cupola. Some, however, I could live in full time Stay with me here for a moment, we can all do this, really! Lot size does not matter, Daddy Warbucks is not needed...............Let's take your basic shed, one handy man/woman, imagination, paint, a garden or call Scentimental Gardens for all of the above. Here is what I would do to this poor soul; a tin roof shingle siding painted to match the color scheme of my home remove solid door and replace with french door add a huge window to the left of the door put wooden shutters on windows WITH SHUTTER DOGS window box under big window trellising on the ends (see next photo) add a lantern add climbing roses, boxwood.....Maybe not all at once, but have a plan............... Elements can be borrowed from this photo to dress up your shed; trellising over shingles, adds dimension and textural interest. How about trim? This is substantial trim that makes a statement. Personally I favor the color scheme too. Charmingly simple. The addition of this overhang makes all the difference. The tin roof, monochromatic color scheme, shutters, small front porch....... Stone again.....sigh......... unless this was strictly for storage a french door would be swapped out In England, the private chapel, yesssssss, all estates of merit possessed a private chapel! Today, it resides as a treasured get-away, with faded chintz down arm chairs, ottomans, a tea trolley, dog bed, lace curtains and magazines. (I made the last part up, can you tell I am longing for England?) Open air, good views Take one little underused shed, add flea market found columns, one sign, gardens and voila! A charming outpost. An urban setting in San Francisco. Imagine this setting, which is quite small, minus the garden shed, what would you have? Yes, a beautiful view in San Francisco, but.............the shed becomes an architectural focal point in addition to the function of a garden cottage. Could you handle this!? The inside of one woman's shed. Composed of mostly found bits which together create a unique haven. Conversely, here is a more masculine but cozy interior. Below is the artistry of this special garden house. Look close, to the left, there is my friend Marsha, covering her face. But she is running, running out of her shed to the approaching tray. What would summer in the garden be without a little getaway cottage and a bit of Lillet on ice with an orange slice served on a tray? (Yes Marsha you know I am talking about you xxo) Remember us, Scentimental Gardens, for all your garden needs Debra

Building an Outhouse: Before you build an outhouse, you need to check with your local government. There are a lot of rules regarding any kind of waste system. This outhouse included a washing station.
Hello my friends, Almost seven years ago when we moved into this home we (I) had plans to build a little cottage up on the hill behind our pondless waterfall. At first I thought I would build another playhouse. We had one at our previous home and the grands loved it. But after finishing the basement and adding a little playhouse under the stairs I had other plans. I am sharing some images of darling she sheds as I tell the story. No story is any fun without pictures. :) After all, I have a Pinterest board full of fabulous Garden Sheds (Source: Pinterest Shelterness) About a year and a half ago She (I) said: Let's start our she shed. He said: I think I would like to build it. It would give me something to do. source: Meadowbrook Farm So she saw some men working in her neighbors garden in the fall of 2014 and asked if they would be interested in removing the grass up on the hill. She said: (in her mind) If I get it started it will be built. But of course everything didn't go as smoothly as she had imagined. Source: Red Gate Farm Problem #1: She can't decide exactly what she wants. She loves rustic but at the same time she loves cottage style. Problem #2: Her hubby is an engineer and everything has to be planned out and replanned out. lol! You ladies with engineer husbands know exactly what I am talking about. Last spring she said: Can we start building? He said: Jann, we can't just start building. The ground has to be leveled and I've got to plan it out. (source: Hometalk) One day he said: I've got two plans decide which one you want and let's go stake it out. She said: Halleluiah brother! Again, just in her mind. But her smile said it all! (saved from flicker) Hubby started digging and leveling, but summer came and went and that was the end of that. She said: Maybe next year. He said: Yes, we'll start early next spring. (saved from facebook) Then our oldest grandson asked if he could have his wedding in our garden. She said: Absolutely! But what about the weed patch that was meant to be a she shed? He said: (our oldest son) Mom, it will be done. She said: I decided to go with the plainer plans because it will be easier to build. I can dress it up and it will be fine. He said: (oldest son again) Mom, that's not cute enough for you. It won't be any harder to build the other one. (source: The Ivy House Tumbler) She started dreaming of decorating the inside. And now I have a team working on the she shed. (hubby, son, and two grandsons) See what I mean about it turning into a weed patch? Ground is leveled, footings are in and framing is about to begin. What do you think? Will the she shed be finished by June 25th? The plans are a compromise between rustic and cottage. I can hardly wait to play in my she shed! (source: Handyman Garden Shed) This is it. You know mine won't look exactly like this, but if it's anywhere near as sweet I'll be elated! Till next time, I'll be dreaming of my she shed! hugs, Jann I will be sharing with these lovely parties: Thoughts of Home The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home One More Time Events
