We live on a farm in the middle of no where.
Seriously.
As in, go to Tennessee and turn right at the chicken barn, drive two miles past the corn field and at the end of a long winding country road.....
....you will find our house.
Summertime is farm weather. It's the season to introduce new landscaping projects and watch the flowers growing in the cutting garden and pick blueberries and peaches and strawberries and watch the hay being cut in the back field. And this Summer we are planning on a little garden shed decoration.
So if you have plans for Summer and you need another project like this beautiful garden shed from Better Homes and Gardens.....
....here's some garden shed inspiration.
Add Functional Storage
The basic component of any garden shed is storage as in this beautiful vintage black hutch from Lonny Magazine.
You can create a built-in, custom unit from reclaimed wood and re-purposed hardware or you can simply add a storage piece to your existing space.
Next, fill up the storage with stacked gardening supplies such as pretty pots and urns and landscaping tools.
Landscape Ideas
Incorporate your garden shed into your existing landscaping.
Add gravel paths and rows of boxwood like this serene setting from House Beautiful.
Then complete the garden setting by adding armillary or urns or even a pretty garden fountain.
Add Outdoor Seating
A small outdoor seating space near your garden shed is the perfect place for a good book and a glass of sweet tea.
Add a table and pair of outdoor chairs like these Adirondack chairs featured in Better Homes and Gardens.
The faux chandelier topiary is perfect to add a little whimsy to an outdoor space.
Use Reclaimed Materials
This beautiful garden shed from Better Homes and Gardens owes its character and charm to the use of reclaimed materials.
Add a pair of vintage windows, a garden ladder or even yards of old fence rows to your garden shed.
Then, plant a garden outside your vintage door and add a birdbath or pair of urns to make your outdoor setting complete.
A garden shed is the perfect project to add personality to your landscaping.
Whether its rustic or vintage or filled with cottage charm.....let it reflect your style and design aesthetic.....
....and enjoy it with a ice cold glass of lemonade or sweet tea.
Happy summer gardening to you.
