    Shed door made over yesterday, now the spouting to do- but this might wait until spring as it was pretty hard to get the paint to stick![​IMG][​IMG]

      Yeah, the last owner had a bit of a soft spot for maroon!

          Thank you very much. It is exciting to see what spring will bring for it. Although it's a small space I'm really pleased it looks so much more of a garden than the old yard it once was!

          I just realised I forgot to update this in the summer to show how everything bedded in. Looking at the photos is really making me crave warmer days- it's hopefully on its way too image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

            :wow:

            The transformation is stunning!
            And the update on how it filled out in the summer is beautiful.
            I adore how your dog is sitting on the lawn with a "hands off" look on his face :heehee:

            You have really made that space your own and I'm sure you spent many happy hours out there last summer. The warmer weather will have you out there again soon.

            What plans do you have for it for this year?

              Thank you, M!

              It's nice to remind myself of the plants that will start to spring up soon. Plans for the garden this year include a trellis untop of the wall to add more privacy from the side (we're in such an overlooked bit!), I need to build a step up to the gate because we dug down quite a bit. Then it's time to try and resuscitate the lawn after a very wet winter! I've got plan afoot on the front garden too.
