I'm in the same boat as you. The Hubby thing!!! Just need to work on him a bit more!

I don't have a barn either but we have a shed I won from a raffle our high school did for homecoming floats. Our construction class made them as floats for homecoming and each class created one. It was used as a fundraiser for the school and then the floats went home with the winners. No more leftover floats to dispose of. I won the Junior class float in 2011. Our school colors are red and white. It is bright but I love it. My husband surprised me and made a few changes to the door and added a barn quilt block he made. Enjoy!

These are great ideas! I do plan to do a "barn quilt" some day and put it on your wood shed where I can see it from the dining room window. One on the front of the garage would be cool too. I just can't decide what block to use.

That's great. Heck I would paint one very 2 feet, that would be the talk of the town! Coming from someone of course that isnt' doing the labor! I do love the idea though. I have chain link fence so that won't work for me unfortunately!
