When we put our pool in about 9 years ago, my husband wanted a "shed" to store pool toys, hide the pump, plumbing etc. I was thinking SHED!!!...OH NO!!!...that is really not in line with the look I was going for out there...but then I remembered that I kept a copy of a Country Living magazine that had the lovliest garden shed I had ever seen. I dug it out and said "OK, if you can make this, then we can have a shed"...haha.....Well, he did it and it truly came out so lovely...See what you think...

| LOVE it!! |
 |
| My husband built the entire shed including the fabulous cupola!! |
 |
| We wanted arched doors...he made these with planks... |
 |
| This is the view right out of my kitchen window behind the pool...LOVELY!! |

ReplyDeleteIt's adorable, Mariaelena! The Man is currently working on a garden shed similar to the one he built at our previous home. Of course, he chose the hottest time of the year to work on it, but......lol! Hope you are having a great summer so far.

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment about my Chalk Paint table & bench. For some reason my blog comments are not coming to my email right now, so I will respond to your question here:) I usually use two coats of chalk paint, especially when using one of the whites. The only time I use one coat is if I am painting on open grained wood and I want the grain to show through the paint. Good luck with your projects!

You're going to be featured this week on Very Merry Vintage Style. It's gorgeous. What a lovely view you have and probably the prettiest "pool house" ever! Thanks for linking up to STL Wednesday!
