I love this! I want one! -
I wonder if your sheds often look better than the structures they are designed to complement. :-) -
Sometimes perhaps... depends on what state of restoration they are in. The house where this one was built is in need of paint (they tried out the scheme first on the shed) and a new roof and backyard landscaping since several large laurel oaks in poor condition were removed before we came in. The interior is fabulous though with really incredible trim. -
You can see a historic photo of the house we built this for at: http://historicshed.com/2012/12/a-craftsman-...

What a beautiful shed for a beautiful home. I'm dreaming of something charming, as this is, to go with our Queen Anne style Victorian Revival home, but hubby wants to put up a large metal "barn". So not happy about that. I guess I should add that we live in a country neighborhood where metal "barns" are common. -
I can help with sketch drawings to see if you can convince him. Send a photo of you house via email and let me know what size you are looking at.

Oh that's very sweet of you Historic Shed, but I've already shown him just what I want. Though he really liked the look he pooh poohed it because of the cost. My dream is large square (or slightly wider than deep) building with the main floor having old fashioned XX barn doors front and center with windows on either side and also spaced evenly on each side and back for great lighting for my furniture refinishing shop.

Sounds lovely. And a bit pricey :)

Beautiful color palette. -
Thank you, although we can't take credit for the colors. The homeowners picked them out.

Thanks Historic Shed. As I said, I dream BIG.

Well Historic Shed, I don't want to jinks myself, but hubby was saying tonight that there is a chance I'll get my dream shed! 8^O

How exciting! We will want many photos, of course.

Oh you can bet I'll be sharing. The soonest would be this summer, but I'm not sure. Depends on his work since I'm sure it will be mostly DIY.

Becky, you keep at him...wear him down...make him miserable...HA...you know how to get your way. A beautiful home and piece of proerty does not need to be ruined by a "metal barn". Now if you have a back lane that winds down behind the trees and behind a hill where it would be hidden, a metal barn might be acceptable. HA!

Jeanette, you must have missed that he's already said it's a definite possibility. In fact today as we were leaving his sisters neighborhood in Central Iowa, he say a four car garage and said that's pretty close to the size we should build. I don't have to push him. I give him the idea and if it's right for us then it usually happens. Eventually. He pretty much spoils me.
