Lindasewandsew - That is just so YOU! I LOVE IT!
Great use of the signage for shelves...and love your personal license plate! The cabinet style is just awesome! Oh boy, give that DS a big hug for bldg. it He's awesome and knows you well apparently! A brilliant idea to put the screen on top also! GREAT DESIGNING, sewandsew, ENJOY! Jeanne S.

Holy moley...that's awesome!

It looks so antiquey! I love it!

Wherever did you get the Wicked Sisters spice sign? I would love to find one. I googled it and come up empty!

~Sandy~

Wow! That is absolutely amazing! The outside looks like an antique wardrobe! Your DS is very talented. I also love how you used the signs as shelves- what a creative idea. Post more pictures when you get it decorated. It is beautiful!

What an awesome piece of outdoor decor you're son created. I love the yellow interior. You truly have two wonderful dudes in your life. Can't wait to see you moved in with the shelves full, the tools hung, and your work all done!

It turned out just great Linda! Good way to use some of those signs you've been collecting too. You three are so good at recycling/reusing/repurposing into fantastic creations! Love your "personalized" license plate too. Luvs

Thank you for all the nice compliments. I was expecting a funky simple shed. He went way over the top making it nice. It's fun to have a tiny room to decorate with signs and junk. I'll probably paint the outside in a couple of years. DS is surprised that it isn't already red with stuff all over it. I coated it with that termite liquid and stained and sealed it for now to make sure it's protected. I might be able to rent him out, lol, but he has a day job building movie sets, so between that and his three little ones, he doesn't have much time left.

Sandy, Big Lots had those Wicked Sisters signs last Halloween. They were made by that famous artist, China, lol. There's a chance they may have them again this year. Anyone with some talent for painting could probably paint one for you. It's thin metal, but could be done on wood. These cheap signs also won't hold up outside, and will fade away quickly. This one got rust on the bottom edge, because of a little moisture when it was stored. It already had a white zigzag edge, so I sanded off the rust and painted the edge black. Linda

Looking at the lovely outside, one would never know what funky fun it contains inside. Love all the hilarious signs you managed to find and put to good use. The personalized license plate is great too. Looks like you will have lots of fun in there this summer! Thanks for the grand tour :^)

how cleaver!! you ds and dh did a fantastic job!!

I love your new shed ! I have a question as to how the sink was hooked up to a garden hose. Could you possibly tell me what kind of fittings are needed? I have a sink out on deck of the potting shed that I can't figure out how to hook to a hose.I hate moving hose ...... Please help a befuddled junkster.....thanks

WOW that is a masterpiece for sure!!! What a wonderful shed you have!!!!!!!

That is one impressive potting shed! I don't blame you for threatening to bring it into the livingroom! It looks like a fine piece of furniture, an antique armoire.

I would never paint this; the rich wood is beautiful and gives it an antique appearance.

I got a kick out of your "confined space procedures" sign! It's perfect. lol

Also how wonderful to have a real sink that drains into the garden. I wish my kitchen sink could be similarly plumbed so I did not have to be so careful about what I put down it!

Your hubby indeed did go all out with this project. Lucky you!

Here are the plumbing hookups. We went to HD and easily found every fitting needed. The hot water hookup is capped off under the sink because the water pours out there if not capped. You can use the sinks and hoses in the store to test for size. A kitchen sink may be a different setup. We didn't install the elbow, and some things put down the drain in the kitchen may not be wanted in the dirt.

This little sign (TS find) will go on the front of the shed. Linda {{gwi:159171}}

Hi Linda, I just read this thread more carefully, including the part about your hubby's job building movie sets. That sounds like a really interesting occupation. No wonder his work on your potting shed was so amazing.

As to the plumbing, it would work fine for our kitchen sink, but is illegal here to empty drains onto the ground. (I have nasty neighbors who would certainly report me. Oh well..) You're probably right that some of the chemicals I use in my kitchen would harm garden plants. (I use a lot of chlorine bleach.) Anyways it was interesting to see how he did it.

Again that is a real cool shed and you have a very talented hubby. But you must already know that. ;-)

Hi Spedigrees, Son builds sets. Hubby and I are retired. Both of them can do just about anything, and I'm an expert at making a mess, lol. Chlorine bleach isn't likely to harm anything in the flower beds, as long as you're not using gallons at a time. I believe it just turns to salt when dry. Things that may be harmful to your soil are vinegar, fats and oils, and any bits of animal products would attract flies and other critters. There's a soil and compost forum here on GW where they could tell you what not to dump. You could use a dishpan and just throw it outside when done. Linda

That is so neat. Love the old world charm....It's wonderful. You know if we can get some of the DH's together who knows what we may get.....lol...

Lindasewandsew...I forgot to mention the talent of your DH in my post! DS did a wonderful job...but DH made it shine! Love these talented DH's! Jeanne S. And I love the additional 1897 sign! Also am for keeping it in the natural wood tones...so rustic!

wow, I had to keep looking at the photos...then I realized that gorgeous piece of furniture was your potting shed! LOL Wow again! I am SO jealous :)

Linda, it is GORGEOUS! So happy for you that it is finished, now you can play!!! Although, with a piece like that, I would still be tempted to bring that one in and use it for an armoire or entertainment center, it is very beautiful. I have to say, you have the classiest potting shed I've ever seen!! Have alot of fun with it!!! blessings-sherri

Oh my gosh, your guys built that? That is just too amazing. How beautiful.

Fanciest potting shed I have ever seen...
Very pretty wood.

That beautiful piece would be in my house immediately, I've always wanted an armoire!! LOL, and a giant one like this would really be something! The wood is gorgeous! I'd like to "adopt" your son for a year or so. LOL

hugs, Karen

Awesome! I love all the signs. I am inspired to start working on a sink for my potting area. What a great idea!

Thank you so much for posting the pix of under the sink. My dh can understand better when I show him a picture !!

you just gotta love a man who loves you that much. A real keeper. Great Shed Linda. I also like the nothing happened here sign...Will have to steal that saying. June

That is the most GORGEOUS potting shed I've ever seen! I'm drooling. . .

Linda,

What a great piece. Only lacks a 'chamber pot' and it becomes a guest house. LOL

I can see so much happening on the outside. Maybe one of those succulent wreaths on the door with tiny terra cotta pots all around it. Draping plants spilling over the top roof edge. Mini window boxes on each side of the door (or sides of the shed). Small window/mirrors above the window boxes. The planter boxes can hold extra hand tools also.

You are blessed and well loved. Have fun with that Adult sized doll house. We girls never quit making mudd pies. We just call it gardening now. Ha. (That would make a great sign.)

Susie

Simply gorgeous! I think I can use your DH here!! LOL Do you do loan outs???? HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm sure he got lots of kudos for it! My DH is currently making new front steps to the verandah. We were going to hire someone to build out the verandah and make new steps but he wanted $12,000 to do the job!!!! We of course turned that down so are happy making new front steps ourselves. We don't relly need a wider verandah.

Anyway... it's really fantastic and I think everyone has potting shed envy now!! I know I do!! HA!
