I just love it! Sit still and Laura will light you up and put a wreath on you. 🥰🎄😂
Hi Laura - I love the idea of window boxes, but they might also make opening the windows less useable because what you have in them gets in the way. Moveable containers would be so much easier. So excited to see the finished shed!
I was just thinking the same on the window boxes. 😉
That's true!
Coming here to say the exact thing.
plus bees inside the shed????
Yes. I have the same windows at home. Can’t plant anything tall outside the window or you can’t open them
The sigh of satisfaction as you place the table in the shed is priceless!!!
I bet using some unique stone benches in front on the flower shed would be cute. Not necessarily as a spot to sit, but more as a table to place potted flowers. Kinda like how Claus has a lot of his pots gathered around an entrance. I love the hidden garden behind the shed. ❤
Absolutely. Great place to sit and rest while working in that area.
Won't that south area be in full sun and very hot?
this is wonderful idea!
Looks beautiful !! Check the command strip instructions, most need you to put them up then leave them for an hour to bond before you hang anything on them. Benjamin is such a little ray of sunshine 🌞
Yes, that’s what I was thinking as they continued to fall off. That’s the hardest part for me, waiting that time before hanging whatever I had planned.
I use mine on wood, just have to let them set a little while 😊
I bought the strips for glass, cleaned the glass with rubbing alcohol per instructions, let the strips sit for longer than instructions said, wreath fell 3 times. Never mind! And this was on the inside window of an inside door.
Now that is dedication! Even Benjamin has lights, lol! 😂
It looks great!
Just a suggestion: if you plan on having lights around the roof line, you could get an outlet put in the eaves. We gad a house that had one and it was a game changer for Christmas lights. Ours was comnected to a light switch inside the house, so we didn't even have to go outside to turn them on or off.
That's a brilliant idea! I used the same concept inside my home when we rewired, such as outlets above my kitchen cupboards with a switch installed beside the GF outlets on the backsplash on either side of my kitchen sink.
Excellent idea!
That is supreme!!!!! YES
I was thinking the exact same thing when she was talking about outlets on the outside! And if they are high there would be no cords along the walls to try to hide.
The shed is so cute - even unfinished. And so pretty with this touch of holiday decor. Good thing nobody stands still around there, or Laura would wrap a strand of lights and hang a wreath on them. 🤣🤣💚💚💚
The cut flower shed is coming along nicely and looks so pretty with the Christmasy touches. What a great way to honor your grandfather's memory by using the old work table he made. 💙💙💙 It's like he's there with you!
The section behind would be an amazing “unstructured play area” if that makes sense. Our kids have the same space behind a similar out building and it’s where they collect rocks and sticks and such. They make themselves truck ramps and fairy gardens and honestly whatever they want. It’s their favorite place in our yard and I never have to see the mess ✌️😹
Our family did this as well. It was such a blessing to have a space for our boys to dig with their bulldozers and building to their hearts content while I worked in the garden.
I like this idea A LOT! Plus kids love to be tucked away in “secret hide-outs” :) remembering myself as a kid 😁
I was thinking exactly the same thing, give Benjamin sand dunes to run trucks over and places to make structures out of sticks and leaves ect that can be pulled down. Emily I live in Australia but you and I had exactly the same thoughts
A secret garden!
This is such a sweet idea! Love it! You might want to add a small back door or window(s) though so you can peak out at them playing while you're working in there.
Just a thought, if your windows swing out, you won’t be able to open them fully if the flowers grow too tall in window boxes. Love having coffee with you all every morning!!
Maybe just use spillers?
I realized that too, but honestly, they probably wont be opening them much in the winter, which is when she’d have the wreaths up.
Laura the carrot top dangling out of your coat pocket is the sign of a true gardener. Never leave a vegetable behind. Love, Love, Love the shed and your future concepts.
Lovely little shed! And Benjamin basking in the glow of the lighted trees is just adorable. You're gonna wanna replace those finish nails with cup hooks before the wind blows!
Windows that open out won’t play well with window boxes. Can’t wait to see the shed finished! Looks charming.
Everything is looking so good! Love that you kept your grandfathers table…keeping his memory alive! You both have done so much this year to the new property it is going to be spectacular come spring!
Proof that even a little effort can make a sweet, unfinished building cheerful and lovely!!!
Laura, ur excitement is infectious. Benjamin is just so sweet. He has been doing much more projects w u.❤...funny he called u out about the wreath falling 3 times ..🙄 such a sweet project. U can also see how Benjamin's excitement is growing as he gets older. ❄☃️
Good morning! 🌻🐝
How cute. I was just thinking while watching the video, I'm surprised you didn't have a small bathroom put out there somewhere. ❤️❤️❤️
Good idea.
Now THIS was an adorable video! I found myself grinning from ear to ear for you as your excitement and satisfaction exuded through the lens! The unfinished shed looks absolutely stunning, with its simple Christmas decorations I can only imagine the perfection once it’s complete!
I love that the first piece of furniture in your shed is an heirloom family piece, the sentiment and feelings you must have experienced when placing it in there…even I got tingles and watery eyes!
I like the shed. I would not go with drywall. With all the wood on the outside it will give it a natural look. On the inside i would keep that same theme going and use ship lap siding. I would give the wood a white wash. Ship lap would be more durable than drywall. I would want to be patching holes in drywall. With ship lap you can easily hang things on it and not have to find studs.
I agree, shiplap would be the way to go. In our finished garages, we put thin plywood under the drywall so you can hang anything you want wherever you want.
Shiplap would be great!!!
@@2ManyTomatoes Wow, I am in the building trade and never thought of that idea. Only thing you would have to do is install electrical boxes a little farther out from the studs so everything sits flush after finishing drywall. good idea.
Reclaimed pallet wood would look great, too.
I like this idea. I think drywall would make it look like the studio. This would give it a different look. It could be painted a solid white if and be more like drywall but like you said, more durable.
Good morning! How cute is that flower shed. The wreaths and trees are just the right amount of Christmas for the shed! I vote for no window boxes, I think that would overwhelm the shed. I’m a fan of less is more. Can’t wait to see the finished flower shed.
I get a small Christmas tree like those every year and it goes by my outdoor kitty's house. I decorate it and she loves to play with the ornaments and hide out behind it.
Love how Benjamin is so excited about Christmas and everything in general! I wish that they would stay excited when older too! This age is so much fun! They are curious and want to help, to love you and everything in between....best times ever!😍😍😍😍Do enjoy it this season goes too fast! It turned out so cute! Lots of hugs🤗🤗🤗🤗💜💜💜💜🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your potting shed is adorable. I can't wait to see it when it's completed. Benjamin cracks me up when he hams it up for the camera.
Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
What a cute little She-Shed or He-Shed. I know you are doing it for a Cutting Shed now, but I can see Benjamin and Samantha using it to "camp out" away from the main house.
Can't wait to see the Christmas tour 🎅🎄🤶
I think the simplicity and beauty of your shed is perfect. Sometimes 'less is more'. Can't wait to see your chandelier and Christmas tree inside, and the shakes outside. Natural and beautiful is the ticket! :D
That's so cute!!! And Benjamin's just adorable, at that age where I wish I could have halted my girls from growing up!!! It's going to look so quaint and inviting once it's completed!
Hi Laura, I'm Jhon and since july 2020 I've been watching you, from the first day I started watching I fell in love for gardening and for your incredible family, you're the sweetest person ever and all I could wish for you and your family is joy. I wanted to ask what colour will the flower shed be?
Hey Laura! I love seeing the progress on your shed and can't wait to see the final result! Since you have yet to have the shed wired I thoughtI would share a little detail I have used on my home. I included an outlet in the soffit under the roofline and connect it to a timer switch in the garage. That way I don't have to have extension cords running down the side of the house and over to the nearest outlet! It made putting up Christmas light a breeze! Warm wishes from Canada!
Great idea!
That's brilliant!
We have that option on our porch roofline as well
I think it could still work on the wood if you let the Command strip sit for 24 hours with no weight and then do your hanging
She is so anxious for the shed to be done. It looks very pretty and sweet. The dreaded "Command Strips". I love them and use them plenty at Christmas but have learned that you have to let them set for a couple of hours before you put any weight on them. Even a tiny bit of weight. Love this project.
Love this little shed. Have you thought of adding a cupola or a whimsy weathervane?
Oh yes! One of those whimsical weather vanes would have been perfect!!
I agree!!!! 😀
Had the same thought. Laura, there's still time to make the change! :)
I agree
I am rethinking my garden shed. Our HOA only allows and 8 by 12 and right now we store everything in it. It has to be replaced because it is rotting, but now I want something beautiful and organized! Thanks for the inspirationm
Laura your the cutest most determined little gardener. And must I add motivational🥰
This will be so lovely when it’s finished. The more natural look to that area really resonates with me too. So like you to want to dress up a half finished garden shed . That’s for the inspiration
Beautiful! What nice little touches to give the potting shed some holiday glow! 🎄 I’ve been watching some of your archive garden tours and holy cow, you guys have remade your property and then some!! I just watched the June 2018 tour and the transformation from then to now is simply incredible. I hope you are taking some moments to appreciate how far you’ve come. 💫
LOVE the little flower shed! It's going to be soooo sweet! I vote for the "secret sitting area".... you can never have too many places to just hide away and relax....
Love the wreaths on the shed windows. That is going to be a beautiful sight from the house!
🥂 Cheers to first project in the shed..yay!! Beautiful!!
Laura, garden shed looks adorable let me suggest that when you have your outside outlets done that you do some up along the roofline that way when you do Christmas lights and plugs are right there. I suggested this to a friend of mine when she built her house and she said it’s the favorite thing about her house
Simple wreaths are thirty or forty dollars here in CT. Ten dollars is a good deal 1970s prices.
A lot of the pre-made greenery comes from the Pacific north-west (think of the logging industry there) so they have an abundance of tree sources and don't have long distance shipping to pay for.
The cut flower shed is looking so good already I'm excited to see it all done. I love the idea of the secret area around the back, I'm imagining it with the meadow and trees, what a sweet little spot for a picnic with the children, surrounded by butterflies and meadow flowers. How blissful!
So excited for you and what you’ll do in the She Shed . What a fabulous start ! 🎄🎄🏡🚥♥️🌻
I love coming back and comparing "a year later"! Such wonderful progress!
one year i got crazy buying and gluing tons of stuff to my plain wreaths. got two done then saw that it made no difference from the street. went back to plain green with georgeous long-tailed bows!!!
Awesome! The flower shed will be such a great help for you, in the seasons to come.🌷
What a sweet table, it’s beautiful and a darling way to remember grandpa 😊
Only Laura can make an unfinished building look beautiful!
Will there be a transom above the french doors? It would make the view of the chandelier even more of a statement. Love you and your family!
So Cute - you've started a new tradition.
Now I’ve got a tune playing in my head of Laura saying, “It’s my shed & I can hammer if I want too!”🤣
Hello from Ohio. Those wreaths look adorable on your “Laura’s Shed”. Oh my goodness those tree’s are so gorgeous. They fit perfectly on the ends and are lite so nice. You always do a beautiful and outstanding decorations. I wait every morning for your video’s in the parking lot of my work so I can watch them before I go in to start my work day. Thank you for your inspiration and ideas. Love and best wishes from Ohio.
Hi Laura 👋 I visited your parents garden center yesterday on my way home to Washington! So fun!!
If it hasn't been mentioned yet, you should have a couple outlets installed in the eves for Christmas lights on the roof section. Makes for less cords and so easy to plug in to. Merry Christmas to your whole family!!
If
Enough lighting, for sure. Awesome project, as usual.
Living in Florida, I appreciate seeing your weather changes as well. Benjamin is just adorable.😄
Lovely Christmas decor....lovely shed....lovely planting ideas....lovely everything!!!!!😀😀😀
Yeah! First project I the flower shed. I love the table.
Laura I hope you know that you are blessed beyond measure,
Sweet! Sad you had to block your south sun with the solid wall. I think I would have to put a window or two on the very ends. Super sweet shed!!
Remember how hot her summers are? The shade will be sweet relief.
Instead of window boxes, I think a hanging basket on each front corner would be pretty. And you can just take it down in the fall so you don’t have to worry about having to keep them decorated all year.
I would just use the hayrack window boxes for the cut flower garden shed, that way you can have them filled and looking nice during the growing season when you are in that area every day to enjoy and take care of them, and just remove them in fall/winter. Also I think it would look great and very farm-like, a good fit for the orchard area
So exciting to see the area developing 🤗
Great idea! ~ Lisa
I love window boxes, but in this case-I vote "no". I think the view of the shed will be classic as is, and window boxes would take away from the beauty in this specific case. I do agree some containers placed around with some seasonal color is a good way to go. Loving everything you are doing in the new space. : )
The flower shed looks great. Simplicity with it will be way to go. One planter on each side will look beautiful. Have fun!!!
Laura you inspire me to do something every time I watch you.
Laura, that shed is destined to be for floral arrangement workshops. I don't live close enough to benefit it and you don't necessarily want extra work hosting activities. Just think that people will be given the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful garden up close and use your flower crops to bless many souls and homes. I'm excited by this idea !!!
It's absolutely Darling!!! Little country cottage feel! So lovely Laura!
Simply loving the cut flower shed and your absolute love to decorate for the holidays!
LOVE the shed. It's so cute and the wreaths on the windows are the icing on the cake. One request, can you show how you floral wrap lights, please? Thank you!
She did in the video where she made the autumn trees.
Check out the video of her decorating Benjamin's garden for Christmas recently! I think it shows her doing it on some bare trees she put in there👍😊
How delightful and quaint. I can definitely see you in there every day. Benjamin makes a “bright” addition to the shed with his sneakers ☺️. It’s all so festive. Great job 👍🏽🎄
You are so inspirational! You look at how a glass would look full, even if it isn't now. It reminds me to see the lovely possible and ignore the less than pretty parts (White plastic with writing building wrap) on the way to gorgeous. Such an incredible way to view life. Thanks again for sharing with us!
Looks SO cute. The
lights behind you reflected in the shed windows is such a tease! Can't wait for the light tour.
A few climbing roses would look great on the shed! Love the wreaths and Christmas trees with lights.. A lovely veranda with swing chair would look very pretty. 😊
Oh, yes!!! Window boxes! The little 'house' is charming!
I like that you have taken to using real trees around the property this year. Stimulates agriculture and avoid potential plastic or mixed plastic and metal waste that likely won't get recycled at the end of it's usefulness
Lovely cut flower shed , I can imagine it as a Santa’s grotto at Christmas , it would be magical
Love those wreaths are perfect & easy! They are cute! That shed is so cute, can't wait to see the finished shed!! Love listening to your plans!! 🥰🎄💚
I’m so excited to see the full Christmas video. You are so kind to share your garden and family with us.
Good morning Laura, I really enjoy your joy and excitement for the season!☺ Working retail it really sucks the joy and excitement out of the season.
Your excitement is so funny ,thanks for taking me along 🤗 sending love your way 🥰💞🎄🎄🎁🎀
Good morning Laura and family,
the shed looks great. I love the Christmas decorations it brought the shed to life. Can't wait for the finishing touches, have a great rest of the day.
Really like the progress of your shed. And line the Christmas decorations.🎄
I love your excitement for the flower shed. “First Project in the Flower Shed”. Thank you for bringing us along.
Thank you for your videos! Your enthusiasm is a perfect start to my days while having a cup of coffee and dreaming plant plans for the future.
Hi Laura! Love your flower shed, what a beautiful vision!
Laura!! I love the cut flower shed!!! How beautiful is that going to be😍😍

Hello from Wellington, New Zealand. Can’t wait to see the cut flower garden and the Hartley completed. Loving the process of how things are shaping up.
Next Christmas will be magical to see them all dressed up and festive.
We are getting into our summer here and I have learnt so much in the past year from you and can now rattle names of so many plants 😇😂
Season’s tidings to you and family. You and your family make the world a better place with your kindness and generosity bringing happiness and joy to all us. Bless you 🙏🏼
P.S. Love Benjamin in his twinkle toed shoes 😍
The flower shed looks very sweet and charming, even half finished construction!
Love, love, love the wreaths and trees. Exciting watching it come together. Your ideas for final completion sounds super cute!
Love, love, love your Flower Shed so much! It is just sooo cute! As always, your decorations are the perfect holiday touches! ❤️💚❤️ the wreaths and trees! And … I’m thinking we may just see another beautiful tree through those French doors before long! Compliments to you and Aaron on the design and details and to your builders, Trisha and Eddie!
❤️🎄💚
Good Morning Laura, this has truly been a super fun year to watch your videos. ❤️❤️❤️ I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing everything come to fruition and there is so much to look forward too. Your property looks truly beautiful. 🥰 Chris
✨🎄so glad you used the flower shed to work today!! I LOVE it all!! Such a cute flower shed!! 🎄✨
Laura! I LOVE that you decorated your unfinished shed. Your attitude inspires me! I’m getting ready for a kitchen reno and I’ve been hesitant to decorate because I know what a mess it will be, but now I’m going to do it and just enjoy Christmas! 🌲🎄
Yes!! That was the perfect amount of lights for the new shed🎄🎄🎄🎄
I love when you do something new and get so excited. It’s an awesome place and really coming along good! Those little trees and wreaths are just perfect. Thanks for all the inspiration. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
Love, love, love the new shed and the sweet decorations!
The shed is coming along so nice. Your smile while talking about it is precious. We all can't wait for the finishing touches either.
Good morning Laura, sorry I am late to the party. I just cleaned out and have redone a chicken house for my potting shed, very rustic looking and I'm getting some great ideas from you. Love the little wreaths.
I have a former farm building potting shed. It’s larger than hers but mine is rustic meets beauty. I have a chandelier too.
Looks beautiful. Have you thought of just putting some gravel around the exterior of the Garden Shed, that might help in keeping dirt from from the wooden siding. Those trees are just so cute. Thanks for the inspiration.
Good morning from North Carolina! I love it! I love how excited you get and I find myself smiling and so happy for you! I feel like I am there with you!
