for a longtime,” Dave says. Instead of
building wood steps, he stacked flat
granite rocks that—again—look as if
they’ve been there for ages. The shed
rests on concrete piers on gravel and
sand, not a permanent foundation.
Which is just fine, says Dave. “If we
ever leave here, Cindy says she’s taking
it with us.”
Cindy decorated the interior with
her vintage garden collectibles. She
loves spending time there, working at a chipped enamel
table or an old pine desk, the ideal spot for arranging cut
flowers or bundling herbs to dry. “I wanted a playhouse
when I was little,” Cindy says. “Now I have one, sur-
rounded by everything I love.”
NECESSITIES
Inside essentials include shelves, hooks, and a
rescued potato separator used for potting and storage. Nooks
and crannies formed by the studs and joists are ideal for storing
flowerpots and hand tools.
You can order a plan of the
Storrars’ shed. The kit
includes blueprints, a list of
materials, a detailed
construction drawing, full-
size patterns, and step-by-
step instructions. The shed
measures 6x9x11 feet tall.
