What colour should I paint my shed?

I am getting two wooden sheds and one metal shed that people are throwing away. I want one of them to be 'my quiet space' with a bench infront to just drink tea and look at my veggie patch (I am getting old!). I would like it to be fun and a bit of a focal point.

Should I paint both sheds the same colour/colours or should I keep the real shed the plain boring brown.

Suggestions please?

Green's quite nice and restful?

Country Cream and black

Marigold yellow, with flowers all over (real ones)?

You could have a seaside, beach hut themed shed painted blue and white perhaps?

That sounds nice Tnog. I was going to suggest a zebra-patterned affair....

Mung · 16/04/2008 22:07

Tnog...do you mean paint each alternate panels?

Legoleia...like the idea, but my painting skills are really not up to much, so I can't see me painting flowers on.

I want bright and colourful.

Soft bluey green, lovely. And bung some curtains in the window, and some pansies in a window box.

Tnog · 16/04/2008 22:12

Mung - yes, alternate panels, perhaps pale blue and cream for example.

Mung · 16/04/2008 22:12

curtains and a window box...how cosy. I've already said I want a chair in there. No electricity down there though, so cannot make a cuppa.

You could have a camping stove.

Mung · 16/04/2008 22:13

I'm liking the stripe idea. No one has suggested red...I love red! My neighbours might kill me though, as they will have a good view of it from their house.

Mung · 16/04/2008 22:14

It will be your own little retreat, somewhere to sit and dream.

Lovely.
