The Tool Shed That Isn't

No politics today, I can't handle it.  This is a mail in election so we won't know for a while anyway.  So, on a lighter note, here is my new shed.  My husband took over my potting shed to the point that I couldn't even enter it.  He stuffed it with tools and whatnot and it was driving me crazy.  I enlisted this wonderful artist to create a tool shed so I could take back my potting shed.

He built it in sections in Kentucky and drove it here to assemble it.  The assembly took 5 days.  He is quite the perfectionist.

I love the storybook look of it too.

He recycled an old window to let the light in.  He built the shelves using old barn wood.

Wonderful detail.

He vented and screened the back for air circulation.

The entire shed is held together with wooden pegs which he also made.

I can hang things on them too. It looks like it was built a hundred years ago.

I love the door handle he made.

Hand forged studded nails on the door.

A sloped roof and yes, we had a little bit of snow.

My husband took one look at it and said that we can't disrespect it by filling it with tools.  I agreed and immediately ordered a shed from home depot to hide on the property and house his tools.  The new shed is mine!!!

Yesterday to de-stress and avoid the news, I started cleaning the tools out of my old potting shed and bringing it back to it's former glory.  I also started decorating my new shed. I worked for hours and barely gave a thought to the election, it was wonderful.  I'm heading out there soon to do more work. The new shed won't have electricity until next Spring so I will use candles, oil lamps and battery operated lights until then.  I'll show you updates as I go along.  Unless I drop everything and move to Canada.
