Though extremely functional, sheds can be quite plain to look at. I decided to give ours a facelift, so I enlisted the help of my husband, to construct a nice little verandah for it, utilising some leftover timber and roofing from the original pergola after it was replaced.

A couple of artificial plants in pots and a coat of paint, which my visiting sister helped with, and the shed received a lovely transformation into a little cottage. It sits nestled between the trees in the middle tier of the garden.
