Welcome!

Hi, my name is Angela, and I refuse to let my 50's ranch home (or my budget) keep me from cottage style.

Introducing the Magic Shed

Garden Shed

Green Metal Star

My husband has finally commandeered the last corner of the garage. So I had to get the mower in the shed.

Cue bad horror music: dah, dah dahhhhhhhh....

Because, I mean, I haven't exactly been in the shed in awhile. "Awhile" meaning "ever since we moved in." I mean, sure, I've had my husband put stuff in there. Under protest. You know:

Me: Oh, I just have to have that darling vintage dresser. Just look at the cute casters!

Him: We don't have room.

Hall's Pink Daylily

Me: Sure we do! Besides, it's a one-of-a-kind, amazing deal and it's half-off today only!

Him: Where?

Me: Where what?

Him: Where do we have room?

Me: Hmmmm....

Him: See?

Me: I know! We'll put it in the shed!

Him: Grumble, grumble, shed, grumble, grumble...

I think I may have single-handedly packed an entire thrift store in it's 8' x 12' frame.

But I never actually look in there! How could I? It's just a door that opens to a wall. A wall of stuff.

Fast forward to today. I had to get the mower in there or leave it out to thrill the neighbors with my new "lawn art." So in I went.

DAH, DAH, DAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

But then... Oh, there's a rocking chair! Oh, I forgot about this cute dresser. And oh, that's where all my random architectural salvage went. Who knew we had this great vintage sled?

Instead of "dah, dah, daaahhhhhhh" it's all beatific choruses:

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...

I'm sure it wasn't the nearly 100-degree heat or my having waited too long to eat lunch, I swear.

Oh, and if you're wondering, yes, I did manage to get the mower in there. Eventually.

What about you? Do you have the equivalent of a Magic Shed?

I plead the 5th.

I had to clean out our shed last week to have it sprayed for ants...19 years worth of accumulation and not a vintage find to be found! Just boy stuff like old windshield wiper blades and bungee cords that no longer stretch...yuk! When my hubbie got home, after I sweated in really hot, oppressively humid air all afternoon, his comment was ..."you didn't throw out the funnel made from a cut off bottle of motor oil, did you?". Nope, I knew better and kept all 3 of them!!

LOL! Well it must have been a very nice surprise to find all those long lost items! We keep our ride on mower in the shed so I have to go in there at least once a week! Scary!

I think it's called my living room.

What's that red thing with wheels? I love it!
