It's ok. I don't want what the sign says in the pic Junk in my yard.

A nice gazebo is one thing this I could not deal with. Looks like some krap the neighbors would install. LOL!!!

To each their own.

I have always loved gazebos.  This is a retreat I could be comfortable at and make much use of.  I think it is wonderful the owner recycled this gazebo, great idea which turned out to be a winner!

I would give the entire thing a new coat of paint. Make the roof bright red. Also take away the junk sign and door. Put really nice big colorful pots with flowers instead of those old dented metal ones. Put in a couple of comfy chairs with throws on them and nice Ottoman in the middle to prop feet on and just enjoy.

😂😂.    I really have more than enough junk I’m trying to declutter and purge, I certainly don’t want a sign ever, that would say JUNK, especially on this cute idea.  Looks a little too cramped but the idea is cute.

I would take the Junk sign down, and replace all of the flowers with bright  new flowers, and also it looks like there is some landscaping that needs to be done. I bet after all of that it would look rather cute........But it definitely needs some sprucing up! Also I would add a cute colorful outdoor rug.....It would take some work, but it could definitely be spruced up!

@vsm    I agree; it looks more shabby than chic, like a heap of rubbish.  Not in my backyard.

The gazebo itself was in the trash?

Love it because it's perfectly imperfect...a nice place to sit with an ice tea & enjoy.

It's definitely shabby, but I'm on the fence about the chic part.  It could be a cute with a few, no a lot, of refinements.

I'm not a fan of the shabbychic style. The first thing I saw was the "junk" sign and that's pretty much my opi ion of the gazebo.
