Disappearing Garden Shed

 Aloha from Volcano! Waaaay back in August, Phil suggested that we needed (she needed) a garden shed so we began thinking about how to do it so that it would blend into the beautiful Forest Garden in front of the house. It is 8x8', has windows on all sides and a charming front and back doors and porches. The most important thing was that we wanted it to blend into the forest of ohia trees so choosing the right colors of paint was a priority.

Front door - dogs in the shadows

Here are photos of how we selected those colors, and views -- looking at it from the house, front and back doors....and finally, one of the "disappearing garden shed." It has a long working table, shelves for seedlings and a fold up table-cum-lounging bench. Enjoy....

This is the view of the shed from the house

P.S. (10/23) Phil has decided it needs a better name than "shed" -- so he has named it "Toll House" but all Lunel can think of is cookies.  Our propane delivery man even tried to give us a 25-cent coin. When we looked up an Hawaiian word for shed we found kamala, but we can't do that!

Back porch -- railing to be added

From all sides it really does blend into the forest!
