All that painting was worth it in the end. I did a light blue for the outside with a bit of shabby painting to make it look less 'pristine'. The inside had two coats of white masonry paint, same for the floor then varnish. The sofa I got off ebay and also painted. If it stopped still, it got painted. We decked it last week, the slabs were a bit tatty looking, especially when I got paint on them!. I want to make some new cushion covers and generally 'pretty' it up, a bit at a time. Its a gorgeous space and ideal for my bear making in summer. Hubby has to do some sockets then I'll be sorted. With the decking, paint, sofa, its probably cost about £450 but worth every penny. I paid £300 for the actual house and they usually cost a lot more. So on a gorgeous day like this, I think I'll settle down with Country Living and enjoy my first try out of my den. Hope you can enjoy the weather too.
Misty Morning

Sunlight was struggling hard to break through the heavy mist which had
enveloped the garden this morning. More fog than mist as the bottom of our
side ...

Oh, Amanda! It's BEAUTIFUL! What a great space for the warm weather. It's truly wonderful. ENJOY!
So beautiful! We have to relandscape our garden before we get to the stage of having a summer house. I can't wait, a haven to retreat in when needed!
Enjoy your beautiful summer house, love the colours.
Have a lovely weekend
Warm wishes
