Summerhouse Stalling

Hello, my lovies !

It’s Easter Monday as I write this, it’s sunny and warm, and this would be an ideal time to be hanging out around the summer house. Unfortunately that’s not going to happen, we’re a little behind with the programme this year.

Let’s see why. 

 The Summerhouse

This is how it started out in 2019.

I obviously used it a lot as I was forever posing for Instagram photographs here. 

But time moves on.

This wooden garden furniture is no longer around.  Well, I say no longer, it’s piled up in the wood pile currently so it is still around!  However, it lasted just under 20 years so I mustn’t complain.

This garden furniture, however, is holding up well, no doubt because I store it in the summer house every winter.

And there lies the problem. 

We’re waiting for the deck to be repainted so currently the garden furniture is still stored in that summer house.  Piled up to the gunnels.   And so we can’t use it. 

As I’m in a state of summerhouse stall, I had to remind myself of how in looks inside when not cluttered, so I read this post HERE.

Very inviting.  I want to be in there, sipping a G&T, or writing my best selling novel!

But on a positive note, the stall does give me thinking time, so I’ve been thinking about how to repaint the summer house which after six years of weather sorely needs it. I’ve come up with a few ideas on my Pinterest mood board.

I need to go from this mess. 

To maybe this, a putty colour. 

With an interior I can use. 

Greens are calling me. 

Maybe a pale grey. 

Decisions, decisions.

All I am sure about is this is where I am want to be very soon!

So I’m going to need to make a decision soon before the gardeners turn up at 7.30am with their eager beaver attitudes, armed with paint brushes and no paint to dip them in!  And believe me I am panicking with decision paralysis.  

The easy option is to just repaint it black.  What do you think?  Is that a cop out?

Take the easy road with just a spruce up in black?  Or should I go for something cutesy and pretty?

I’d love to hear which direction you think this summerhouse should go.

Maybe you have a summerhouse.   If you do, I’d love to know what you’ve done with yours.
