    Good morning image

    Its heavy rain today after the lovely day I had yesterday but at least it gives me a chance to catch up on here and the plants I moved yesterday a good soak image

    My forum settings are playing up so forgive me if I miss anything or anyone! Please just give me a nudge image

    Yviestevie I'll put my thinking cap on again today re behind your BBQ now I know you use it in situ image

    I have a tall plant you may like that grows tall in the shade that would look lovely in pot in front of your shed when painted image I will look it up later and let you know

    Bizzie as you have ideas of painting shed now, how about before shed pic so we can help choose a colour image

      Good morning, still raining here, waterbutt filling nicely  image 

    The shed is small, tucked away to the side fence of the house and painted dark brown. The Philodelphus overhangs it in the Spring, Montana in place for next year, Cotoneaster sprawls across the doorway. Beautifully hidden.

    Beaus, I'm thinking that a change of colour would draw attention to an awkward corner so - still thinking image

    Good morning Bizzie

    I think your shed already sounds perfectly decorated by your plants but think we need a pic to double check, not cos I'm nosey imageimage

    Day two of rain here too but hoping when it stops if it stops I can do some jobs out there later, ie clear up my increasingly tut corner!

    i planted climbing hydrangea and honeysuckle in the BIG shed border on Sunday and will try and get pic later, know one thing for sure it's getting a good watering in!

    hope you have a lovely week Bizzie and safe journey xx

    I think I rightly assume I'm quite shabby chic in my design tastes, much to the OHs distaste, he thinks it too twee and girly and despises my obsession with Cath Kidston... I'll see if I have any photos of my cutesy things outside of the garden...

     This was a horrid dark mdf type magazine rack side table thing, now it's this lovely colour and keeps my GW mags safe and has my record player living on top of it. I've also got typewriters and a kitchen table to match, the chairs are the same colour, and the table is crisp white. Not sure I've got a photo of that. The seats have strawberries on them, but they need reupholstering.

     Garden is definitely more shabby than chic currently!
