A summer project...

While the house and garden have been an ongoing project for the last eight years: Floors , windows,  electrics plumbing, insulation…. The humble garden shed has patiently sat waiting  for it's turn. And this last few weeks we've been busily emptying all the collected junk from within, dusting all the cobwebs in and out doors , and off we went .
   
 I knew I wanted windows, there was only one tiny window. We found the large metal window on a trip to the
salvage yard in Portland; and a Jalousie window at another salvage yard in Vancouver.
I still have the back side to paint and  underneath the roof and plenty of tiny bits of white are so annoyingly refusing to except paint…jab, jab jab with the brush !

I love the jalousie window. 

The front …no door yet, well there is a door , the old door ,  which will be replaced, with some sort of glass hinged ,/sliding one .  The two hanging grids  mark the spot for two matching windows ,  when we find them. 

The interior, clean and stained, blue of all colors, I never choose blue paint  , I like it with the dark brown exterior though .  I wanted a dark charred black /brown color ( Philip's mixture) Inspired by our few years living in Suffolk and the yellow trim a little nod to Derek Jarman's cottage.  

Here it is a few weeks ago , the big white elephant !
