My intentions were to post this a few days ago when our southern weather was still mid 60’s/ low 70’s…I guess now all my warm weather lovers can day dream as you read this post.
Ya’ll, a few weeks ago I told my husband I wanted to create myself a potting shed in our not so cute wood shed in our back yard. Probably half paying attention, he muttered, “Okay,” and went on about his business. Days later, I came home from visiting my parents with a car load of stuff to make my potting shed vision come to life. His exact response after viewing the back of my car was, “Are you just bored to death and looking for things to keep yourself busy? That’s a wood shed…” I hope you read that with your most puzzled voice because that’s exactly how he sounded. I laughed and told him to just wait.
Andrew has a difficult time visualizing my ideas majority of the time; however, I can usually convince him to join my team. He agreed, my potting shed is quite adorable, and this week’s post is simply pictures of my sweet little shed tucked in our back yard.
Here’s a before picture…Some of the stuff in this photo I re-positioned before remembering to snap a before picture.
And here’s the after, which is proof the ugliest of spaces can be transformed with the right amount of TLC. It’s both practical with a hint of Krissie style.
I literally spent ZERO money on this project. Everything pictured was items myself or my mom had stashed away anxiously awaiting it’s time to be put to good use.
My favorite part is by far the chandelier, which will have a pretty green vine planted in each little porcelain pot this coming spring. I scored the chandelier a few year ago at a junk store for a whopping $3.00. I used wire cutters to remove the ugly wires and purchased some mini flower pots with wood bases off Amazon with intentions of making my planter chandelier. Those intentions got pushed to the side until my recent vision for my potting shed. Check out the before picture:
Even though I’m thankful for fall, my favorite time of year, I’m excited for spring so I can plant my flowers in the chandelier and string some cute lights from the beams. Consider this a pre-show of whats to come 🙂
In all my talk of creating a potting shed, my mom was inspired to turn a forgotten portion of her patio into her very own potting shed. While visiting, together we spruced up her area. Take a look at the before:
After:
She took hers a step further and added potted plants which is a nice touch.
These were fun and quick projects we enjoyed doing together. We both love our little spaces. Maybe now yard work and flowers won’t seem like such a chore.
Verse of the Week
“Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without even knowing it.”
Hebrews 13:1-2 (NIV Bible)
I am still on my journey of reading the Bible cover to cover. This week, I read Hebrews, and this particular verse resonated in my heart. Tis the holiday season where we all feel that extra tug to spread love and joy to others. What if we carried that same urge with us all year long? Jesus spread hospitality everywhere he went just by loving people and not casting judgement. We never know a strangers situation or story. We never know whether he or she is an angel on earth. Spreading hospitality is more than opening our home to others. It’s opening ourselves and our hearts to others.

Flower Mamas, have no fear…My plants are all safe and sound in my sun room until after the last frost of spring next year. This is another photo taken prior to chopping off three inches of hair… All this outfit is missing is a chunky cardigan for these 50ish degree days!
