Howdy,

Happy to be here in this forum. I have a garden shed in my backyard. I wondering how to renovate and give it a cherishing look. While surfing, I saw a blog enlisting the different ways we can adopt on painting our garden shed which will give it a refreshing look. [ http://inthebackyard.ca/trendy-ideas-painting-shed/ ]. My husband loves graffiti and so I would like to go with it. Could you please share with me some graffiti ideas that would suit my garden shed? I am completely new to such artworks and it would be of great help if you can mention some good graffiti workers.

    This is a UK based forum.  Most people who paint their shed do it to preserve the wood; to make it more discreet or more showy according to their taste and situation; to make it look like a beach hut or a Wendy house or just a country shed.

    I'd have thought the whole point of graffiti is that it is free style so I suggest you google for some ideas.

    Bear in mind also that in the UK and EU we have strict rules about what kinds of products and chemicals we can use in our gardens and that will limit the materials and effects achievable.  

    Have you tried the Houzz website?  It should have some good ideas for you.   http://www.houzz.com/garden-shed and http://www.houzz.com/sheds and http://www.houzz.com/photos/garage-and-shed/query/Graffiti.

    Hi image

    Does your husband like 'Street Art' or is he more of a Classic Hip Hop graffiti fan?

    Perhaps you could post a photo of your shed to give us some idea of your options.
