| We have decided to get rid of our shed and buy a summerhouse for the girls (and us ). I have found the one we want, and am now trying to decide if we should paint it, or leave it 'shed' colour. What would you do? xx |

| I say paint it, but it might need touching up each year. I love Debs idea, that is exactly how I would paint a summerhouse or I'd paint it beachy and have a sandpit (with a cover or the cats will crap in it) and have mini beach holidays in the garden lol xxxxxx |

| Debs... you genius!!! I think I might put James out there with the xbox and a beer fridge and I can have peace in the house! Right, its decided, im painting it. I will probably do it the colours on the photo, as I know it looks nice. We will decorate it inside by putting up some ply wood on the walls - just how it is in the pic! Dilly... we will defo get a little sandpit and get the paddling pools out. They have a bouncy castle too. We wont need to leave the house this summer! x |
