My idea of what one would look like,is like this picture i found in a magazine.Our potting shed is close to the same size,all i need to do is pretty much paint it.I thought of white with green trim till i seen this pic,,A grey with white trim,,Oh ya!
magazine shed ,i like.
our shed.
another pic of ours.

Today we also found some picket fence also to put next to the shed, like magazine pic,and plant roses near it.any ways thats the plan, if the weather clears and the sun shines...



another side of grey shed.

Kat, I can definitely see the possibilities. With the paint, picket fence, a few trellises and flowers you will have the same shed.

You ought to match up the potting shed with your house........

My house is white ......i built a Shed for my toys and Made it white siding, with a dark brown Corrigated roof.......I love it .
