The photo above is what it looked like after my whirlwind two-day flurry of activity.
This is what it looked like BEFORE I got started:
See the entire transformation - that took place in one weekend - here.
It's always fun to see how spaces change over time...
Two days ago, my friend Todd shared this photo on social media:
He's decorating this tiny space for some fall picnics and enjoyment...
and yes, that's the same garden house!
You see, Todd built that garden house many years ago.
He owns the house and the yard that it sits in.

I lived in that little bungalow for a few short months back in 2011,
after life collapsed and I had to leave my dream farmhouse & life on an island.
Todd allowed me to make over his little garden house, and I am forever grateful to him for that.
Not only was a lot of fun and a creative gold mine -
giving me content for my blog here and many great photos -

but it was a distraction from stressful situations at a time in my life when I really needed it.
It gave me space and time to think.
And now, he lives in that bungalow and enjoys that garden.
Seeing Todd out there decorating and loving that sweet little space just makes my heart happy.
My screen door is still there, some of those tiny pots on the wall are mine, and those white shelf units were mine, too -
though I used them in the laundry area of the house, not where they are now.
But I LOVE them in this location!
But I LOVE them in this location!
I love that Todd was a generous friend who saw my sorrow,
and helped to turn it into a measure of joy by letting me create in this special space.
It is a gift I will never forget.
