Today, Sunday, November 23, 2008 after church the girls and I went to buy paint for what use to be the playhouse but will soon become my garden shed.Before..
During..
Color - La Fonda Geranium Red
After! I still have a lot of work to do, plant flowers around it, stencil some wonderful saying on the front, put up some hanging pots............you know, my mind has decorated the shed and around it 100 times if it's done it once!!
It will be a cute, special place and I am so grateful that the girls WANTED to help me! Will post photos as I continue to work on it. Any suggestions?

Your new shed is adorable! I like that paint color too...it is just perfect! Sweet girls to help you with it!!! My husband likes to make fires also on cool evenings and we have a big friend and family cookout.
Thanks for visiting my blog!!!
As soon as I read your description of your family, and that you like to can and do neat things in your kitchen with food you have grown, I thought of how much you would love my friend Mary, at Pokeberry Kitchens. She is also a Christian gal, and I think you would appreciate each other very much! I will let her know about your blog as well.
God bless you and your amazingly wonderful family!
Oh dear...I meant to say Mary at Pokeberry GARDEN!!!! LOL.
oh fun, you love having a dedicated place to have your stuff. can't wait to see the finished (ongoing) project. what sweet helpers.
ps. we do the fire thing too. it has been almost to cold and today i work all day in yard but then temps drop fast once the sun is going down. i am hoping on thanksgiving to make an outdoor fire in the firepit.
What a wonderful little shed! It's adorable! It's a great idea to recycle the playhouse into the garden shed!! A neat project!
Thank you for visiting my blog and the flowers!!! I am bad at identifying flowers and truly this was a wildflower that I found amidst some leaves and pine needles in the middle of the forest!! How cool was that!

Wow, are you going to enjoy that shed. It's so neat now but I can see it all planted around with your beautiful flowers.
Your new garden shed project is going to be so much fun as we watch it progress. I love the color, how could you go wrong there's a geranium in the name.
Great girls to help you get it done.
It looks great! SOunds like you had a nice weekend. Have a great week too! :-)
I would love a potting shed. I think they are so neat! The girls did a great job. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Photographs for the inside :) I am sure are going to have this decorated in no time.
Job well done! It's adorable. I could really use something like that. :-)
Nice Painting job, Darla... I know you ALL are pleased with the outcome!!!! And how great to turn it into a shed... I'm sure you will USE it alot more!!!
Awwww...I think that is such a wonderful idea! The girls get to always have their playhouse around.
I love your idea of stenciling a saying.
Looking forward to the results.
A little chair outside, a straw hat, a window box....oh, the possibilities!
Wow. the garden house looks great with the new paint! Your girl are lovely!
Thank you for visiting my blog and have a nice week!

Darla: It is wonderful that the girls were willing to paint for you. It looks wonderful.
Darla,
How wonderful that their playhouse...which brought so much enjoyment to them...is now going to be a place you create and grow your own enjoyment.
I love the color you've chosen!

That red color is perfect for your garden shed - really delightful! Cute photo of the girls having fun at the end!
Darla,
What a great idea to convert the playhouse to a garden shed!!! Beautiful color and beautiful helpers, too. Have fun with it!
Thanks everyone, it's not the best shed, although I am grateful to have it and cannot wait to get started decorating and planting around it. The girls are just as excited as I am about it. I am very blessed that they want to spend time with me not matter what I am doing.
I really like the new paint job on the new little garden shed. It will be really adorable with a garden bed surrounding it.
