Really nice. Love to see the way other people display things in there home. To me, it doesn't matter what time of the year. Enjoyed pics. Thanks.

I have not posted inside pictures yet because it is a "work in progress". Over Christmas break, I took all holiday bins and whatever else back to the shed. It was a chore to dig it all out and get it back there.

Now, I need to sit down and sift through the stuff and organize each season and purge LOTS of things. I think I have at least THREE boxes of greenery! There are things like garlands, wreaths, and who knows what else.

I have a larger Pop It shelf that will probably get moved in there to store the bins.

I think I will put up one of my slim Christmas trees in there and decorate it. I have a small table and chair and I bought a new TV with a dvd player. I hope the cable guys can run the cable out there so I can watch Christmas movies in July on Hallmark!

So, to answer your question, it will be a combo she shed/storage once I can pare down all of the excess and make it neat and accessable.

I get out of school in a few weeks and I can take my time and get it the way I want it. I spent most of the last summer ordering and waiting for the shed, and then waiting for different workmen. This year, I am trying to start early so it does not take up the whole summer.

I want to actually GO somewhere this year! What we do for our decorations!

How sweet! It really looks great. I love the bunny lantern.

Thanks all! I love the bunny lantern too! Almost wish I'd gotten the brown one too. I got the white because I have so many brown tones in my fireplace/hearth that I wanted the bunny to stand out a bit. But then it looked a little odd being the only light piece so I got the off white lantern from Pier 1 to put on the other side. Then I tied brown ribbon on each to tie them together.

I hope Valerie brings back another bunny like this next year, same color/texture but a different pose. So they go together but don't match.

Great job!!! LOVE it!!!

I think you are right about the color of the bunny, the brown would just blend it. The off-white stands out but not too, too much because it is a soft, off-white, not a stark white-white.

Perfect choice, I would have picked the same one too!

Thank you ChiliPepper!! I'm glad you agree about the bunny I chose. Stark white would've looked out of place, but the off white color of this one plus the finish and texture work pretty well with my other items. I love my bunny!! Really well done imo.

Ruger says hi!!!

@crazycockermom

That would be a GREAT idea! Maybe a crouching one, similar to the set you have on your table. The lantern could sit next to him because he wouldn't be upright to hold it.

A bunny friend!
