About 6 months ago, Mr Rose and I were aimlessly wondering around Homebase trying to pick which Crown paint was a good enough copy of Farrow and Ball's Dorset Cream to fool Aunty Mame, when I stumbled on the previously unknown concept of shed paint. Shed paint! I know, brilliant huh?
You can paint your shed violet, rose pink, line green, slate, stone, Cotswold fart - whatever you like.
I clocked the shade 'forget me not' and made a mental note to transform our shed come spring. This weekend was the allotted time so we skipped back to Homebase and bought it. I woke ludicrously early yesterday morning and raced outside to get the first coat on.
The reason for my speed was that I wanted to slip outside before Mr Rose woke up. He is the sort of chap that does things properly - if he'd awoken I'd have been made to read the instructions, prepare the area, wear appropriate clothing, cover the ground etc etc. All of this would have totally ruined my impulsive moment!
I forgot to get a 'before' photo but you get the drift here.
And here is the finished product:
Anyone wondering what the effect was of not preparing the area? Well we now have some rather blue strawberries...
Here is Whispa from next door admiring it
We went to Ikea yesterday and snapped up these amazing solar fairy lights to go in the plum tree next to it:
It was so easy, and just a flash of colour at the end of the garden has transformed it.
Love,
Shed Obsessed Rose
