"But without a garage and with their garden quickly growing, they needed a place to keep all of their equipment close and accessible - "without having to trek to the basement to retrieve it," Kevin says. Storage space was the main reason for the shed, but design quickly became a close second."
"But the couple had a few doubts along the way. "Did a checkerboard floor with half white squares make sense where we'd be walking with muddy boots? Is it smart to hang original art in a shed?" But now they couldn't be happier with the results."
""Decorating the potting shed also gave us an opportunity to continue designing an interior space even after the cottage itself was complete," Kevin reflects."
"Not only is Kevin and Ian's potting shed beautiful, but it's also comfortable, which they say is equally as important. Kevin's favorite part is the feeling it gives him and Ian - creating a serene place to relax while in their garden. "Vintage art shows signs of age; the floor and tools show"
A restored Door County cottage needed nearby storage for gardening equipment without trips to a basement. A potting shed was built to keep tools close and accessible while also serving as a design opportunity. Early concerns included whether a checkerboard floor would work with muddy boots and whether original art should be displayed in a shed. The final result combines vintage decor with practicality, creating an interior space that continues the cottage’s design after the main renovation. The shed is comfortable to work in and relax in, offering a calm atmosphere in the garden. Vintage elements show age through worn floors and tools.
