My Shed Improvement Project

It's been nine months since we moved into our new house (1962 brick ranch). I am *loving* it here, but we just now got around to fixing up the shed in the back yard.

This shed was built about 15-20 years ago, and from what we can tell, it hasn't been painted since!

It's a cute shed, tucked away in a woodsy corner of the back yard, and I thought some paint might really perk it up. And it did!

Amazing what a little paint can do!!

First, the back yard:

And this is the reason we love it here so much. It's so peaceful and quiet. Here's another view of the back yard:

And the shed *BEFORE* the improvements...

The shed had some rotted wood in different spots and needed some repairs first.

And then we painted it!

Hubby added the brick patio today (which helps keep mud from splashing up on it).

And even Teddy the Dog likes it!

Rosemary, can I borrow your handyman/hubby?! I have several projects that need to be done, one of which is set up my pre-fab pond, which is going to be difficult for me.
