As this sheds faces towards the back of the house and will be seen from all the back windows - it was important to design this space in a way that complements the house. What hubby chooses to do inside it is completely up to him - as long as the outside looks pretty then I'm happy :)
We have chosen colours similar to the main house and it will feature panelled garage doors with highlight windows and gorgeous barn style lights. The second driveway will then finally be levelled and a soft beige gravel will be used. Ladscaping can then be finally finished on this bottom section
Its been difficult to find inspiration on modern farmhouse style garages - the Americans do them so well but here in Australia its much harder to find suppliers to get this style while staying within budget.
Wish us luck - I think I have missed this design/build stage so looking forward to this project!
Below is just a rough example of our shed plan - doors will be a panelled door and the front of the shed will be clad with a product that is a steel but has a weatherboard look to it.
Down the track I am hoping to extend paving to the side ( near the side door) and have a fire pit, raised garden beds etc |
Garage doors will be similar to these |
Black barn lights similar to these will be used |
