Convert a tool shed into a potting shed

By switching out doors, adding a potting bench, garden plants & accessories and training a vine up the side, I took this old lean-to tool shed from eyesore to asset. Now it is a potting shed!

    Thanks, Linda. The old door was a peeling interior door which looked disgusting on many levels : ) The door shutters I bought for seven dollars at a yard sale, painted and put garden theme handles on. The mower was sent to the garage!

    Barb, if my shed looked like this, maybe I wouldn't mind going into it so much. Mine is so sad, it even depresses me. Thaks for posting this - great job!

    Thanks, Terri! Get after that old shed and spruce it up - there's a potting shed hiding in there somewhere!

    That's a great looking shed, Barb. But please tell me you just left your tools outside for photo styling!

    Thanks, Douglas. The old, rusty tools I used as garden accents - my good, everyday tools are inside the potting shed!

    This is so beautiful..so wish I had a non attached home..apartment complexes are tough, but I did have some cute plants this year. My carnation died so need to replace her.

    If your complex allows it, maybe you can start a community garden or flowerbeds!

    It was Sherwin Williams paint - I will have to dig around for the color names for you. The main part of the house was a cool gray, the trim was white and a colonial toned blue.

    Love the color! Very nice. I've been trying to come up with a potting shed, but havent been able to figure out what I want yet, within my price range.

    OK - the colors are Sherwin Williams ~ Colonial Revival Gray (walls), Distance (blue trim) and Super White (white trim) for those of you who asked.
