Painting a shed- debate

Tell him he CAN varnish it, once he has finished painting it the colour that you specify.

If you own a shed - you are officially the boss. Gettit?

Someone on the old style board painted their shed and posted a picture. It looked lovely. I'll see if I can find the post.

I'd love a painted shed but my husband would never paint it.

I think I'm thinking of the same one...I'm trying to remeber was it xxvickixx? It was all icecream coloured strips and a different coloured fence too. It was just lovely!

we're painting a panel fence greeny blue soon, and trying to decide on wall colours and barn colours: its surprisingly difficult isn't it? (I think we've opted for yellow and a greyish green for the different areas ..but I'd have loved something more vibrant)

It could've been. I just can't find it though. They're quite prolific on there. There are so many posts on the shabby chic threads! It was lovely.

Of course you can piant it whatever colour you like, I think your idea sounds nice.

One end of our shed faces the floor to ceiling living room window and that end is painted blue, we put a shelf up and stand plants and things on there in nice clay pots.
With a seat and pots of flowers in front.

thanks for all the inspiring replys:)
the shed is mine and i will be painting it myself so after all your support i am going to go for it!:j
He is putting it up tommorrow so i better get paint- ive seen aldi are doing some on the upcoming deals so not sure if i can wait to get that or maybe just get the wilkos or culpinol? ones.
my garden was full of junk till i stripped it bare, removed old fence panels and dug and levelled off garden- oh did help with moving the topsoil and pebbles and making the shed base but otherwise he has no interest in the garden- at all:(
I have been getting a bit beyond myself as keep browsing plants late at night and go to bed thinking about the garden:eek:
at the bottom Im going to patio off and hopefully build up a potted tropical type area with palms and things (if i dont kill them:eek::rotfl:)
I will keep you posted on how it develops:):T

Looking forward to see how you get on. Looks like you deserve to paint it how you want - seeing as you're the garden person.

I think the poster who's shed that was, painted hers with Cuprinol shades. I only posted the link and now can't find the rest of the thread.
