Garden shed

After:

Before:

When we moved in the garden shed looked worse for wear, as you can see above. I cleaned it up and painted it with Cuprinol Garden Shades Silver Birch paint.

We replaced the broken window with some new sheets of perspex. Then, using some old net curtain wires I hung some curtains in the windows made from stone spot cotton duck fabric from Cath Kidston.

For a touch of humour I hung a Honest Otto's metal sign on the door.

Being the colour coordination obsessive I am I found garden accessories to match. The garden kneeler and gloves are from Cath Kidston. The sky blue hand trowel and fork are from Burgon and Ball, the powder blue wellington boots from Hunter, and the cream enamel garden trug from Franksy Kitchenware.

Crystal shower hooks

I spent ages looking for a shower curtain rail for my bathroom. You see, we have a window at one end of the bath, meaning we couldn't have a regular rail that is suspended at both ends. I like alternatives, such as encircling shower rails (either square or circular), but as the bath does not stand away from the wall there was not enough room for one of those. I eventually found the shower rail above from Next, that is fixed at the tap end only.

The shower curtain hooks and curtain are from Restoration Hardware. The shower curtain is two-part, with a decorative banded sateen shower curtain that hangs outside the bath and a clear vinyl curtain liner on the inside to stop water leaking everywhere.
