Updating the cabin

Now that the granddaughters are too old to play house in the cabin anymore, it is undergoing some changes to function more as a garden shed.  


First thing was to remove the protective banister in front of the loft so it's easier to store garden things.  


Then I added curtains to cover the boxes and such up there.




I added a wire shelf that was sitting idle in the basement to hold my garden gloves, shoes, plant makers and the like.  


I took down the previous shelves I had up there to use in the garage as they will function better out there.  


I do like to rearrange stuff, don't I?


To create a better work area I put up the black pegboard that I used to use as backdrops for the dolls.  


Now it is used for the purpose for which it was designed.  Yeah, I know...kind of boring, but it is efficient.  I added a nice tablecloth for the table and think it's done.


I may find some pretty flooring one of these days and add that.  








Just because it's a work area doesn't mean it can't be pretty.  


As Left Brain says...it's one of the most expensive lawn ornaments we own.




It felt good to give it a good sweeping out and cleaning and it's great to have a place to store all the garden things.  I'm sure Left Brain likes having my trash out of his garage also.


I've always wanted a log cabin and this isn't exactly what I had in mine but it sufficient to mark off my bucket list.  Check.


Long Live the Queen of the Cabin

  1. I have a No Trespassing sign just like that at our cabin. So far it's served it's purpose.
