I like Bunnies

I have not posted in forever!!  Just feel that I have nothing

of interest to post.  But, I like bunnies and I thought

maybe someone else does too.

 

 

These are bunnies inside out home.

 

A sweet little card sent to me by
Laura from 52 Flea.

 



 

These bunnies are outside in the yard.





 

 

These bunnies are in the potting shed.

 

We have real bunnies, too, but I don't have

any pictures of those little critters.

 

 

Blogger is not letting me align things to the center.  Or, perhaps,

I am not doing something correctly.  Probably the latter.

 

 

Anyway, those are our bunnies.  Cute, huh?

 

The outside bunnies will be brought inside soon.

They aren't fond of the rain and cold.

 

Have a great week and please share your smile.

First Snow

We are getting our first winter snow. It's early for us. If

one can be inside, warm, have food and provisions, there

is such a peacefulness about the snow. We didn't move the

settee into the shed yet so I have no place there to curl up

and watch the snow. :>(

Peace to all,

Annette

Favorite Project Part 4 and a Warning

Although not completely done, the shed is ready for its
photos. But pleased be warned: If you do not like color
or if you don't like being surrounded by treasures you
have collected for years-------this post is not for you.

The loft...AKA Level B - for baskets and birdhouses.






The corner by the window.

So this is my home away from home, my playhouse,
my little slice of heaven. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Below is the sign above the door on the way out.


Until next time be safe and happy,

Favorite Project Part 3

The painting is done.



It took a while because I had a shoulder injury and finally
Mr. Attic painted the whole thing. He is the best.




One of my friends calls this my signature green.




I decided to paint the wood bench and beams instead of
staining them.





It came out just as I had imagined. Now I am in the process
of "moving" in. I will keep you posted.

Until next time, be safe and well,

Annette

Favorite Project Part 2

Here it is! The lattice at the bottom was added as much for
decor as to keep all the little creatures out.



And the walls and ceiling are finished in bead board. I came
home from a little vacation and walked in and found my
dream come true!



This is the big window that faces west and up to the left
is a sort of skylight for winter light. You see, I am supposed
to share part of the shed with Mr. Attic so he can grow
things from seed and overwinter plants.........




This view looks out to the front and you can tell we need
to do quite a bit of landscaping still.





I've decided to paint it all white. I have so many colorful
things to put out here and hang on the walls that it is
difficult to think of a colored wall or ceiling.





Except over here where the wood is exposed, I think I will
go with a green stain on the wood. I also plan to skirt the
bench so I can hide things (lots of things).






The floor is a vinyl remnant. There wasn't much to choose
from and I just couldn't go with a beige/white laundry
room looking floor.

To say the least I am thrilled with the outcome. Now I have
to wipe down the walls and paint and stain and then I can
really start to have some fun...............Putting it all back
together. I will post some updates as time goes on.

Until then, be safe and happy,

Annette

My Favorite Project this year

This is my Potting Shed, aka Big Girls Playhouse, aka
Potting Cottage.


It's been up for a couple of years, but unfinished on the inside.

So in winter it is too cold and in summer ---too hot!


So it is getting "finished"!

We took almost everything out. UGH!!! (Who knew I

has so much stuff in there?) (What about all the stuff

in the garage that I got because "it will be so cute in the

potting shed" ?)
What am I going to do with all the stuff??? Hmmm.

First we get insulation to keep the temp under control.

And then we add plywood to act as a backing for the ..........

well, in about a week it will be complete and I will show

you pictures then.

This shed has been a dream of mine for years. After realizing

that he can't "do it himself" my super husband got

someone to do it. It will be done soon and I will be able to

paint it and hang things and arrange things and be

out there anytime I want/need to!!

Until then, may all your dreams come true,

Annette

Is it SPRING yet???

Today was a very pretty day for February in the Great
NorthWest. So I got "Spring Fever". This is the
Potting Shed...or as some refer to it...The Cottage. This
is my little space that I am supposed to share with my
husband. He wants to use part of it as a green house. We
still have to finish the inside with insulation and walls and
such...it already has a heater and an air conditioner. (Oh,
yes, it's The Cottage.)


As you may be able to tell I have moved in. This is all
my stuff! I started to get it ready to work on my things
for Andy's Attic. But then it got cold and the heater wasn't
strong enough to keep it warm without some insulation.
And this is where we store things for the winter. UGH.

But don't you see why I have Spring Fever??? I just want
to be out there with all my stuff!!



This is the workbench, or display bench, or place where
I put things that I like to have around.



And this is a closer view of one of my many collections...
....small flower pots.....many colors...many styles. This is
only the part of the collection that will fit on this particular
shelf. Oh, my, the more I blog about my collections, the more
concerned I get about how many there are and how much
"stuff" I have. But you understand, don't you?? How you
find that cute little pot shaped like a bunny and it would be
so sweet with the other pots and so it comes home with you?
I know someone out there understands this. And I walk in
to "The Cottage" and feel blissful, relaxed, and content.

So SPRING needs to get here so I can move the stored
summer furniture out of my Cottage and move myself in!!
What do you want to do when Spring arrives??

Until I blogitate again,

Annette
