We’re hosting a wedding in our backyard in a couple weeks. One of the things that I felt was most in need of attention was our shed. It was still the same ugly gun metal gray as when we bought our house. The shed is in the original renderings of our house and I think the paint might be original as well. It was in rough shape.
In trying to think of a picture to illustrate the before-and-after I was thinking of this picture of when the kids were small.
In my memory the shed was so dominant and ugly. It is clearly not as dominant or ugly as I remember. Just the only thing in the picture that isn’t completely lovely. In any case we decided to recreate the picture.
Most of the trees in the first photo are gone, and new trees have taken their place. The kids are bigger. . And you still don’t really notice the shed.
So here’s the before:
And the after with one of my helpers.
We plan to eventually paint the trim white, but we’ll see if that project ever happens. Maybe in another decade…
