Never thought I'd be a Blogger, but here goes! Step One of my Salvage-Chic Backyard Makeover!

I have to admit, I never thought I'd be a blogger, but here I am with my first post...who knew?  I've become addicted to Confessions of a Curbside Shopaholic.  I eagerly await each new fabulous project she takes on and absolutely love the outdoor kitchen.  She has become my inspiration to create the Salvage-Chic Backyard of my Dreams!  My goal is to create an outdoor dining room for entertaining guests, and to create a great outdoor living area complete with chic salvage garden landscaping.  I'm a new blogger, so be kind!

The first step in the Dream Backyard is a Shed Makeover, because my shed was the eye-sore of my back yard - a a hideous old white aluminum.  Below is the before/after of the paint job.  I'm planning to add a vintage window with a shelf to the side, and hang some fun salvage chic decor.
Shed Before Paint - So Ugly!


Shed After Paint


Vintage Windows bought on Craigs List - one will go on the side of my shed.  Lots of options for using the rest!

Vintage Doors from Craigs List - Make a table? Make a Garden Trellis?  So many options!

  3. Thanks for your comment on my blog! I was ecstatic to see that I got a comment from my favorite blogger. I love your blog and your outdoor kitchen, the fabulous vintage door projects, and the benches you've made from headboard/footboards. I love all the unique items that you make from curbside finds!

    I'm new to blogland, so I appreciate your tip about removing word verification (which is now off). I look forward to continuing to be inspired by your posts!
