But, a girl has dreams, and I long for a rustic shed made of salvaged materials that smells of soil and mulch. Let's chalk it up to the Earth Mother in me.
I'm really attracted to the greenhouse above. It has the feel of both greenhouse and potting shed, with a bit of chicken coop charm. This one is made from totally recycled materials.
In these two photos above from Deep Energy Retrofit (left) and Make zine (right), the use of old, recycled windows is a clever and earth-friendly greenhouse construction method.
I could spend an afternoon here any season of the year. This photo by Echo is a seductive whisper in my ear.
It's the little details that personalize a space, like these garden pulls (left) shown in Country Living magazine.
That window begs for a Potato Vine to wind its way along the sill.
Maybe a potting shed would clear up my stash of pots, pails and gardening tools. Both of the spaces below corral the clutter beautifully. Images from My Sparrow (left) and Martha Stewart (right).
But, I have to say that the simplicity of a potting bench, with its eco-friendly nature and farmhouse character, may be all I need to satisfy my green thumb and design esthetic.
But, how clever is this? Recycling wizardry has turned an old blue door into a green gardening center. Desire to Inspire shared this project photo that makes me weak at the knees. It's really straightforward - an old door, a few pieces of reclaimed wood for shelves and supports, a bit of wire and 'S' hooks for hanging tools, and there you have it. Find a nook for setting up the gardening center and start collecting your wares for oh-so-inspired spring planting.
