    You could put some little curtains up if it has a window and maybe a nice little seat with a cushion/blanket if you are planning to sit in there at all. I suppose you could paint it inside if you really wanted to aswell in a nice cream or something.

  • Pink Carpet. That would keep your man out. You're female, so the cobwebbs will not be a problem, get the feather duster on them.

    In his shed, just place some proper beer and a parrafin heater for the cold nights in winter. Please ensure that the parrafin heater has plenty of ventilation.

  • SUZY you could paint it inside and out with 'seaside' colours and make it into a faux beach hut, those lovely ice cream colours are very feminine and if you have or can aquire a deckchair frame, you could pick up a remnant in the colour scheme and make the chair fit with the scheme. You could also paint up some old flower pots to match and grow lavender, geraniums, herbs in them and stand them either side of the door, would be very attractive inside and out, Lyn xxx. You could find and lay out round the outside some smooth pebbles and some shells too???
