.....you may not notice this little potting shed. Designed to blend in, which it certainly sill as the timber weathers and the wriggly tin roof goes dull, understated and wonderful.

This is a striking colour combination we have used before, and it always looks right.
We use paint from the wonderful Thorndown, www.thorndown.co.uk , and this is their 'Yew Green' to the body (a very dark green in a lot of lights) coupled with 'Dulcote Stone' to the windows. As always , the high level gable window adds a useful drop of light. This beautiful little shed is one of my favourite designs, simple yet interesting to look at, with plenty of light inside. It's not often we paint weatherboard, but in black it certainly looks the part, and of course is quite common in Surrey, where this lovely shed now lives.
Once the planting is finished, this will be a lovely corner of the garden. We were very honoured to have been asked to build and supply this lovely Corten clad shed to an RHS Chelsea participant.
We modified one of our previous designs to suit their particular needs, and the result is stunning. To finish the job, we made a matching rusty gutter from scratch, at a reasonable cost (Corten gutter cost is eye watering!). We wish them every success at the show. |
