Blogolution Update: Memorial Day Facelift

Blogolution Disclaimer:
Although our shed is technically outside the house (duh!), I think this still qualifies as a Blogolution project as it is yet another way we are making our house into a place we love. 

Apparently our new family tradition is tackling painting projects over Memorial Day weekend.
Last year we painted our house - or at least we started it. The official completion took a few months.
You can see that dramatic before and after here.

This year, with some leftover paint just chillin' in the basement and a three day weekend at our last minute disposal, we decided to give our shabby-looking shed a much needed facelift.

{BEFORE}

{DURING}
The chipping paint literally jumped off the surface upon spraying it with our standard outdoor hose.

{AFTER}
Second disclaimer:
Please excuse the few mismatched shingles.
Stupid windstorms.

Beautiful results aside, I have already petitioned the hubs for a real Memorial Day weekend next year, 
specifically one that does not include painting of any kind.

  1. Looks good! Next year you should definitely BBQ and have some ice cream- that's just my idea of a good day :)

  2. Very picturesque transformation, you two. Looks like a brand new shed. Isn't it amazing what a coat of paint will do??
