Do you know Jen, I never thought about checking up on planning permission for the actual colour, but you've got me thinking now, because we are in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and although I saw that I could put one in the garden as long as it was 2.5 Metres away from any boundary (which it is!) maybe they also might have a colour restriction I'd better check it out then! That could be fate though, coz if they do, then I'll repaint it all in silver birch lol! I might be a while.......

I don't like the bladdy colour!!!! That's typical of me!!!

I wanted that very pale, sage kind of green, but when I looked at the colour both on the tin and t'internet it was too green for my liking, so I went for the "seagrass" which is a blue/green..... and now I think it looks like a beach hut!!!!!

Anyways, what do you think??? I'm thinking I could go and get a wood "wash" in that sage green and go over it to tone down the blue hue perhaps? I'm also thinking I like the silver birch colour now (which is a silvery grey of course), but I can't bear the thought of painting it all over again after what I've just been through!

The shingles will be going on the roof when I get them and they'll be green. The inside I might do in a wood wash cream colour, and the floor and decking I really don't know yet? I think maybe a pale wood stain/varnish, but then again I did the decking out the back in a rich mahogany which is also very nice, but dark of course. Ideas on the flooring and decking all welcome, and the decking will be extended of course with the sunken doggy pool! Lol!



It's still work in progress, no door furniture, no window frames on the outside yet, and no roof shingles, so it can only get better (when Dave gets another week-end off of course!).
It's going to weather, so that blue will fade off a bit...I like it, xxxxxx

I know Kazz I've finally broken PB, coz last night I decided to have a little "tidy up" in there and put all my piccies in albums, and now it's all broken and I think all my piccies will have broken links to Dogsey... I should have left it all in a mess!!!

I'll try again then....


Success!!!!!
