The outside was covered with plaster and painted a nice sand color with lighter trim. Mere description doesn't do it justice, but they also have a very nice front perennial garden, and it's really pleasant to be faced with that as a view every morning. I feel bad that our house has tired blue vinyl siding and the foundation planting is all rhododendrons, so after mid-May there is bupkus to look at, not just for us but for them too. (Of course, the other house they look on more than makes up for us -- they currently have an inflatable Santa and Frosty the Snowman, not to mention flashing Christmas lights around the porch.)

I have plans to "Texify" my garden shed/greenhouse with a false front and a tin-roofed porch with cedar posts, but it will have to wait for my DH to help me with this project. Maybe it'll happen this winter, while it's cool . . . You’re so right–those cute little sheds and other well-constructed outdoor structures make all the difference in the garden.
