Judy Capone Mantell on Jun 01, 2015The least expensive fix will be with paint. I would choose adark green to paint the exterior of all the buildings and then spray all of the metalfencing/pipes/railings white. If that tarp is in good shape and you want tokeep it, then spray paint it whatever colors please you. You can let the kidsgo wild with it! You can use white lattice in specific areas and build someraised planter beds for lots of bright flowers against the green building. Thearea with the rectangular shapes could even be painted different colors if youwant to color code them, or make them pop. Or you could paint them green orchocolate brown to make them recede. The great part of this sort of thing is youcan really have fun and go a little wild if you like. If this will continue to be a “working ranch”type thing and you have to keep the area around it clear for equipment oranimals, then confine the plants to built up planters close to the buildings.You can also build cinder block raised beds and plant them for a garden. Paintthem as well. Some vines in certain areas would help soften the look as well.You may find you have timber or other items you can utilize to cut down on thecost. "Antique" signs made from old posters or barn wood can be used also. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ZekesAntiqueSignsHelpful Reply

Patty Morgan on Jun 02, 2015For me visual the sheds stand out the most. I love the rustic look over all. Of course an area like this you want to keep the budget low and get keep that cool look. I would start to collect panels, wood or even old signs. Once you get a grouping together you can use a nail gun to put them together. With an hook you can hang it right above the shed coving the roof and only showing the doors. I also would stain the doors you have so wood blends in. It may even be fun to add chicken wirer and hang things from it to make it functional. As an artist I would love to have a work area like that.Helpful Reply

Lee Cunningham Green on Jun 02, 2015Paint is a wonderful thing I agree, and a bit of landscaping can soften the utilitarian look of the building.Helpful Reply

Dorothy Collett on Jul 08, 2015I'm not sure about how each area is used and how much you want to do. just going by each photo...why not finished the end with pallets; spaced slats like a corn crib (great with hooks for hanging storage or narrow shelves. The two spaces with the storage sheds could be finished the same way, with or without the sheds inside.Helpful Reply
