She Shed Update

Happy Monday Sweet Friends

This was the chicken coop I purchased to become my garden she shed.

We had to take this apart completely to move it from this yard to our yard. 
Not an easy feat but we were determined and got it moved. 
The sides came apart and the roof stayed in one piece. 
It was the hardest piece to move with it not able to take it apart. 
Took 3 guys to lift that roof into the truck.

This is how it looked in my backyard for the last few weeks.

The base/floor of the shed in the backyard is where the she shed is getting put back together.
  

This back area of the yard and flower beds was so out of control with growth and weeds.
  
This house was a rental before we bought it.  
So these beds had never been taken care of.  

Before fall we had everything torn out and mulch put down for winter.  

Besides the she shed getting put in this part of the flower bed the rest of the beds will be getting lots of pretty flowering bushes and perennials this summer. 

The backyard is a mess and soooo ugly.  I hope we will get the decks put in and then come May the flower beds will get planted and by the middle of summer the backyard will look really pretty. 

Terry was able to use a paint sprayer and paint the inside and out of the shed after it was reassembled. 

We still have to paint the front top under the roof where it is still chippy.
  

That was the part of the roof that was face down on the grass and did not get any paint.

This Shed took 3 gallons of Behr Ultra White Exterior paint!  

The wood just sucked up the paint.

I did not take off the painters tape on the top of the window lol!  

I just noticed that in the picture.

The cubbies is where the hens had their nests.  

I will do something cute with garden decor in these bins.

I still have the little name tags of each of the hens names.  

I may have to put them back on the bins!

This wall also has lots of shelves too. 
I cannot wait to start to decorate this with pretty chic garden decor and shabby chic chair,  pillows etc.

Tea party anyone? 
I love this inspiration picture and hope to incorporate some of the shabby chic into the garden shed.

Inspiration!!!! 

I also found a cute little table and 4 chairs similar to this one in the picture to have near my She Shed.

Inspiration!

Inspiration!

My she shed has this very exact shelf on the side and I like the way they decorated this one. 

More inspiration.

The weather is beginning to be nice. 

When May arrives we can begin to plant flowers here in Illinois.   

I will be excited to begin to transform the she shed.

Hope you are all staying home and safe.  

We are in the crucial weeks right now.  

If we all follow the stay in place rules we may see some normal returning in May.

Have a great new week.
