This month’s Gardening Bloggers’ Design Workshop at Gardening Gone Wild (one of my favorite places to share ideas with other gardeners) is on sheds and outbuildings. As much as I love sheds and outbuildings, the limitations of space and slope allow me only one, the fort (or playhouse) that is pictured here earlier this summer.
In a prior post, I wrote about how we built it from scratch: “The entire project took about a month, mainly on weekends. The total cost of the materials was approximately $700. My husband did all of the work himself, except the cutting and installation of the walls which he did with a friend on a single afternoon.”

I love your little shed – it is charming and well-designed, perfect for the scale of your garden space (the boxwood balls are a nice touch at the entrance). Please check out my brand new book, Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways (Clarkson Potter, 2008), all about inspiring and innovative sheds, and more!

That is a sweet little building, it fits well into the landscape too. I love the color and sloped roof. Good job hubby!Francesnew urlhttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/

I’m so glad you shared this photo and link to your previous post for the GGW Design Workshop, HHG. Such a charming (but not “cutesy”) garden structure, and it serves a useful purpose as well.
