| Before I show you all the cool stuff that H did to the potting shed, I wanted you to see the shabby flag that I made for July the 4th. I have had so much fun making rag garlands and flags the last few days. |
 |
| We decided to keep the shed mostly white, but I love pink so we added some Utterly Pink (Valspar) and a soft green. |
 |
| Didn't H do a awesome job! |
 |
| We named the old potting shed....Miss Penny's Tea Room.....I painted the sign! |
 |
| I used some E6000 to glue tea saucers to the window. H added some "wings" to the side of the door by cutting a door in half....sorry no before photo. Then he nailed some shutters (w/o the cloth) to the wings and painted them green. You can kind of see inside, but it's not ready yet, so we'll have to wait for that. |
 |
| H decided to put some plant benches in the little nook made by the addition of the "wings". He had to cut down a couple of twin headboards to make them fit in the space, but that's no problem for H! |
 |
| Here's the plant bench the other side of the tea room. |
 |
| The resin roses curtain tie backs have been repurposed and are nowdecor on the front of the tea room. The roses were white before, so I painted them pink. I also painted the Welcome to my Garden sign you can see hanging on the door. |
 |
| On the left, you can see how it looked after the old paint was scraped off. |
 |
| Below is a photo of how the shed looked last summer.... |
 |
| See how it looked before H added the "wings" |
 |
| H also added a flower planter under the window..... |
 |
| Another photo from last summer....before the new flower planter was added and tea saucers were glued to the window. |

Oh how precious! I want a playhouse. I honestly don't think you outgrow this! It would be my little space to read and relax, not to mention when my grandbabies come. What a beautiful little tea room.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteStunning, stunning, Stunning!! I love the addition of the pink and green colors! It makes it really stand out and I think it is even more pretty !! And the "wings" are also a great addition as are the benches!! I saw about 5 headboards while out to yard sales this weekend and I would love a bench like yours but handy is something that Joe is not!! Now my Dad could have whipped one of for me in a jiffy. It is times like this that I miss him so!!
I worked all day out on the patio, cleaning and straightening it out and planting more flowers!! Will be sharing it soon!!
Hugs,
Deb
Such a wonderful tea house! If you lived here in Oregon, I would borrow your hubby to make my place lovely! I love the little green trim work and Look forward to seeing all the interior.
ReplyDeletePenny it is a delight to read your blog. I leave refreshed after stopping by for a visit. One of my favorite home bloggers started selling Essential Oils and I got so tired of it just being a selling tool for her....so glad I found you!! You stick to blogging and not selling although I am sure you could sell some of H's homemade item. What a creative man! Love Penny's blog!!!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog. I love seeing the flea market items re-purposed into things of beauty. You are so blessed to have H
ReplyDeleteYour garden space is absolutely enchanting!!!! Can't wait to see the interior of your tea room. I love reading your blog - there is always something delightful to see and read!!! You have given me the incentive to fix up & redo my own little potting shed which unfortunately I have sadly neglected. Thanks for sharing, you are one very creative lady!

What a sweet little tea room! Don't your neighbors just want to hang out with you out of pure curiosity and a place to see new wonders appear day after day and be inspired? I have nothing like yours and I get asked continually how I keep all of it clean.
ReplyDeleteYour husband is such a wonder! You are so lucky to have him help make your dreams come true. What a great team you two make. Your little granddaughter must be the envy of all her friends to have a grandma like you! :)
It's magical Penny! I love, love, LOVE it!
