Summerhouse

I'm sure, like me, a lot of you have been gardening over the weekend.  I've been concentrating on the area in front of the summerhouse and intend buying more plants later this week.  I have sown some seeds for the first time as I usually buy the plants so we'll see how they work out.


Today I have been faffing about trying to put some vintagey things into the summerhouse.  This will be the first year we use it and I know how I want it to look.  So far I have only dressed one corner so have another three to do!
Many years ago a friend was taking this screen to the tip so I acquired it.  It is metal framed, extremely heavy and covered in green leatherette.  I always intended covering it so now is the impetus for me to do it.  It can be used in the summerhouse for me to store things behind.


I have also had this French coat/hat rail for ages but had nowhere in the house to put it.

I hope to be able to show you more photos in a few days.

  1. It's looking good.
    Sort of working in the garden this weekend. I was down the local stables filling my car with horse manure. Wonderful stuff, and I needed the workout. :)

    I'm lucky enough to have 2 sheds of my own, but they're not a patch on your summerhouse
