My Little White Shed

Join me for White Wednesday hosted by Faded Charm.  Make sure you visit and check out all the wonderful White.

I thought I would show you a White project I am going to be working on for my WhiteWednesday. My husbands family is hosting a large family reunion this summer, that is to happen on the weekend of my son's birthday, who was born on the 4th of July. My project is to get our shed from looking like a shed to a beautiful cottage for our guests.  It already has good bones and one coat of white on the outside.  The inside is still just a little bit messy.



Do you see the weathered wicker chair and white table peaking out at you.  What you don't see are two more wicker chairs, a set of 4 ice cream chairs, a white dresser, white cuboard, vintage pie safe, vintage cuboard and two white chandeliers.  Plenty to start with for making a peaceful cottage for my guests.
Addorable isn't it, I found this treasure while I was on a business trip with Mr. M.  Of course I had to add the shades I enhances with some buttons and ruffles and some vintage chandelier beads found at a local flea market.
This one is just a newer brass one that was given to me that I painted white and serves a purpose of giving light.



Here is the hidden cuboard and a little white folding table, and a couple more metal lawn chairs. 

Now the project is to empty the room and paint it white, and fill it back up with all the white furniture I showed you, along with a cute bed that is in the process of being painted and lots of knick knacks to make it just perfect.  Now where is Mr. M. to help me clean this out.

  5. Blossom, if you think that is bad you should see the basement. No, it really is not that bad, we have no garage doors on the addition so we can't store much in there.

    I am looking forward to painting the sweltering inside this Spring, just kidding, I love to paint. And I am also planning a patio on the side with hopefully an arbor overhead to match our back deck. Don't tell my husband, that is just in the planning stages and he can only handle one idea at a time.

  9. Wait, what about mad magazine, oh no, you were probably thinking decor magazine. HAHAHA, I think the mantel from last week could definately come from a magazine, don't short your talents.

  10. I am oh so green with envy of your sweet little cottage, I dream of having a little cottage out back to 'while away the hours', painting, making jewelry and just day dreaming! I can hardly wait to see the finished project and I too loved where you wrote it was just a bit messy...:) Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
