    Daisy, i sigh with you:). I don't even have a shed, just an old shingle covered garage in the garden. Painting everything blue cos i like it & we got it cheap a couple of years ago!

    Everyone to their own I say.

    Let us see when it's all painted.

    cheers

    I think that blue is a good colour to show off greenery. Green just hides the foliage of most plants and in my humble opinion, blue is a good foil. G.man

    This is Twylight Blue from Focus' own range and they also do Forest Green a lot cheaper than Cuprinol.

    I really like those green colours you guys have, I left mine plain. Now I want to paint it! Couldn't be a better time to do it I suppose :)

    Well I do like that blue a lot ginger and the creamy one too - but they are all nice and fit to each's garden.
    Here are a few of my green shed, not sure the colour comes out well, it's called Woodland Green by Wickes. I've only used one coat as I like the lived in look, but a a second coat I did on a test area on the rear of the shed was darker. Sadly the ferns and the rhubarb got a bit trampled on during construction.

    That looks great biker, I really like it and it looks like it's always been there! Your garden looks so much better than the first pics you posted, good work!
