gazebo plans shabby chic
 
 The owner of this shabby chic gazebo literally pulled it out of the trash and transformed it into a cozy charming retreat.

Turned out cute, love the flowers. I would take down the Junk Sign and 

look for something like this.

@threecees I agree.  It's cute but I don't care for the junk sign.  I would have decorated it a bit differently.

Love the upcycling!

A huge difference would be made by replacing and refreshing the flowers in the planters. They look as if they, too were retrieved from the trash. Tired flowers are sad.

It's a real she-shack!  I want one!

I like the idea of repurposing old materials, but for me it still looks too much like the original junk. I would prefer the old materials be “spruced” up a bit by adding, reshaping, painting, etc. Just painting the grey flower bins would help a lot. I really dislike the “junk” sign.

The gazebo itself was in the trash?

I like shabby chic, but this strikes me as tacky and uncomfortable.
