Project Shed

At the bottom of every garden should be a shed of some description whether it be a hut, a lean to, a workshop, a snug, a potting shed or home office, every garden needs to be lavished with the love of a shed.

Shed Heaven - in the snow December 2009 - Oh you do look festive!

I painted my shed two summers ago and gave it back a lease of life, it had sadly been neglected by it’s previous owners and having abandoned my former shed with the beautiful stained glass window; my dad made to my specifications. I’ve downgraded to bog standard shed. Still, we must move with the times and habour no regrets about selling the former shed along with the house, it clinched the deal.



Project Shed will see the development of the interior of the shed. Unfortunately getting inside the shed is a bit of an assault course at the moment, but I plan to renovate, paint, reorganise and revitalise my shed. Amazingly the tidy-up fairy folk never venture in here!

Dream “sheds” I have salivated over on the t’interweb:

A Hobbit Hole, courtesy of High Life Treehouses, the round door is so inviting.


Again from High Life Treehouses, the Cedar Spire, oh Rapunzel let down your hair!

A Shepherds hut, in a parallel life, there was one on our land, it had fallen into disrepair and its wooden boarding became the door on the scullery. If I knew then, what I knew now... This delightful sage green sheperds hut is from a collection by Plankbridge.

A couple of sheds from recent trundles:

The I Love West Leeds Festival knitted shed covered in knitted squares and now residing at Armley Mills Industrial Museum. A community piece created by knitters aged between 5 and 95 years.

This gothic masterpiece was found hiding in a garden in Great Ouseburn during the Open Gardens in May 2009.
