My character building woodshed


This is my little greenhouse turned character building out back which now holds firewood.

The outside was built from reclaimed fencing boards and the windows are from a barn. And it's become my favourite backyard focal point to display a collection of old antique tools.









(more pics can be found HERE)

LOVE decorating with tools! :) In fact, one of my last thrift store runs was just rusty garden tools. Like, REALLY rusty. I was scared to make eye contact with the sales gal. :)

Do you have a project or collection of old antique tools?
Please link it up in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

    Thanks for hosting the party! Love that photo of the hoe in the flower bed. It's making me anxious for Summer or Spring at least.

    Your shed is so beautiful! Spring is coming. I'll get there. You are SO raising the bar for me. Decluttering inside is all I can handle right now though.

    That is the cutest wood shed. I love what you've done with the outside! Fun link party looking at those awesome rust tools. There is a junk collector that lives next door to my daughter's dance studio. He told me I was welcome to come by and take what I wanted in the way of junk. I just need to make room in my garage, because it is already full of junk waiting to be transformed!

    Donna I love your shed with your flowers and ladder. Girl you have got the {{{VIEW}}}.
    I have a lot of old gardening tools on my back porch. Some of mine were my daddy's
    and some I have bought. I use hoe heads for plant shelves and a rake head for holding
    my vintage children's gardening tools. I have several very old cross-cut saws, and
    plow tines I use as hooks for my birdhouses to hang from. I love your idea for your link party.

    That is the cutest building! I can't believe you found that great fire hose nozzle! You definitely have "the eye" and ability to put things together so that they intrigue and invite a closer look...
