Yes, it's true...I have been lax in posting here on my blog...
Reasons being:
1.Working outside in the gardens and yard with my hubby
2. Working up at our Kamp- cleaning up from last winter's ice storm- blog post soon....
3.It feels like summer and that makes it hard to stay indoors!
4. oh, I'm sure there's more, but on with today's post...
Have I been painting? Yes, not in the studio, but out in the yard!
The Girls coop got a makeover !
When we moved here last year little shed out back was this nasty olive green.
Hub reworked the inside of the shed- with found pieces from Craig'sList and roadside treasures! GO GREEN!
I love this trap door- for the Girls to go in and out to the yard and it has a pull rope that we can work from inside the shed
After hub renovated the inside of the shed into the Girls new home, it was decided a bit of an outdoor makeover was needed too!
We went back and forth on paint colors, because I really did not want to go traditional farm colors. But the other color samples I put on the shed just were not doing it for us! I really was attracted to the inside red walls hub used for building- we got these from a Mr.Seconds that was going out of business, great already painted construction grade outdoor plywood sheets-5 bucks each! Score!
So the perfect RED search was on- just the right red needed for POP but not POW! Well, HAUTE RED is the color and we got both the POP and the POW- but it really works for us!
Now for the close-ups
I went to my stash of yard junk and painted some pieces up gloss white for decor and went with gloss black on the outdoor bench- looks more modern to us. I still have one more thing to paint on the left wall- will show when done. I planted Morning Glory seeds in bright purple and blue under that white trellis.You can just see the tops popping.
And what do the Girls think...
From what I can tell- the Girls love their digs!! Recently, hub has put 2 old tractor seats from his stash in the play yard and the Girls sit on them two at a time! it's so stinkin cute! I will try and get a photo; although it's harder now because when we come out they run to the gate, hoping for some free range time or for watermelon rinds!! Funny Girls!!
Thanks for joining me today- hope you got a giggle or an awe, aren't they sweet! ") Jackie

Jackie, your girls are sooo cute. Love them all. I love to see you posting more often though. Beautiful life.
That is a pretty spectacular makeover...I bet the chicks are in love with their new digs...I could live in there. Time for an art studio with funky junk finds...maybe an addition to the coop LOL
We have to make a duck house for our girls, Lucky and the rabbits to share. when I finish digging the piles of brush away that is.....xox
