I’ve been thinking about all the outdoor projects that I need to do. Too many to list but on the top of my list is building a small garden tool shed to house my most used garden tools (so I don’t have to keep going into the barn or garage). Ideally I’d love to have it in my vegetable garden so I don’t want it to take up too much space. It has to be a small garden shed.
The one that I’m really coveting is one that my local Home Depot uses in the inside gardening area. It’s really the perfect size and so cute!

I figure if my husband can just build me the basic shell I can cute it up.
It’s not very deep so it won’t take up lots of space but I think it holds a lot. I wouldn’t have all those shelves, probably just one on top since I want to put in my favorite hoe, rake, shovels etc.
I’ve asked if they sell them and they say no that they built it themselves. So I’m just wondering if any of you have seen them in your Home Depot?
Here are some other small garden sheds that I like:

I do have a french door I found in a neighbors garbage that we could incorporate into our design like this one. Look at that handle!

This one is cute too with it’s unusual door and I love the color.
I still have some old windows that I haven’t used so we could do something like this too.
Love this one! via Liberty Rose
This weekend my husband is building me some more raised beds and then I’ve asked him to help me with the foyer steps. So we’ll see when I get my garden shed!

Have a wonderful weekend!

March 31, 2012 at 12:39 pmMore inspiration Manuela…my husband isn’t going to like me visiting you anymore! I want one of those, too. 🙂

March 31, 2012 at 1:09 pmToo cute! All of them! I’m afraid my husband would run away from home if I added one more project to our list, lol.

March 31, 2012 at 2:09 pmThe custom built, dreamy visions, hand-made in your garage, architected structures are ALWAYS… hands-down, the BESTEST of the BEST….finished product… the *OOAK* label slapped on there…(ONE OF A KIND) Manuela-Designed building….yep. YOURS and Nobody else has one like it. I can’t wait to see it – whenEVER it gets done… That’s what I’m talkin’ about. 🙂 I want one too! But I’m willing to wait to see if it might be a chicken shed ….!!! instead of a garden shed…one day….:-)
Hugs to you. Loved the eye-candy photos today. xoxo

March 31, 2012 at 3:49 pmThey are so cute, Manuela! They must have got the plan from somewhere, probably one of those books they sell! Either that or I was thinking it was like a “sample” shed.

March 31, 2012 at 5:05 pmAll of your inspiration pics are fabulous. I love them. How cute and I can’t wait to see what you do. I want one a little bigger, one that holds the lawnmower, blower, edger and a lot of bags of fetilizer and stuff. Hugs, Marty

March 31, 2012 at 5:47 pmI can’t wait to see what you do. I love these pictures they are so beautiful and very cute. We need to get a shed too this year.

March 31, 2012 at 5:57 pmLove all the sheds! I love your barn too. 😉
Why don’t you have chickens???? The live variety?? I could totally see you with chickens and a cute little coop! I’ve tried talking my husband into it but alas he is not listening.
By the way, I finally have my small raised bed ready to go….yay!
Manuela says
March 31, 2012 at 6:10 pmI don’t like their feet! LOL I know it’s a crazy reason but it’s true. I’ve thought about getting chickens for a long time and yes, it’s totally something I probably should do. But I don’t know. I guess I have to find someone that has chickens who will let me hang out with them to see if I really want them. Most of the time I think it’s a cute chicken coop that I really want 🙂

March 31, 2012 at 7:31 pmI love them all – but that Red one! Yes! It would be perfect down by the garden…hmmm…maybe I need to see if my darling will make one.
Thanks for the idea!

March 31, 2012 at 7:34 pmI will take any of them…these are all wonderful garden sheds…oh my, another thing to put on the “to do” list
Pat says
March 31, 2012 at 7:39 pmI liked ’em all!
that second one was just adorable. The trowel handle, tin roof and pieced together cupola…whoa… I swooned over that one.
thanks for sharing the eye candy. ~Pat

March 31, 2012 at 9:15 pmThat would be a really cute. I think if your hubby can build it for you, than go for it. You’ll save money and you’ll definitely be able to “cute it up” just the way you like it 😉 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
Theresa H. Roach says
March 31, 2012 at 9:34 pmI want one too:) Looks like that would be a great thing for someone to build and sell$$ Enjoy your evening dear friend, HUGS!

April 2, 2012 at 3:12 pmReally really fun Manuela! You gave me an idea for a shelf for inside my ” garden shed ” I want to build from reclaimed materials too! I have a little narrow cabinet that would be perfect for seed storage and gardening books! Always so fun to come by and see what you are up too!
Christina says
April 3, 2012 at 11:51 amSuch cute little sheds. I have not seen one of those sheds at out HD. I would love to have a shed to keep all of the gardening stuff out of my garage. I love the second picture. It makes me think of a British phone box for some reason.

April 12, 2012 at 10:47 pmWhat cute sheds! You’ve inspired me. I just realized I could have something cute at the back of our little garden shed that doesn’t work well for me. There is room for a shallow shed with personality to be added – and it would be just steps from my raised bed garden!
