Even the simplest of outhouses can serve as so much more than just a dumping ground for tools toys and bikes. Paint it up and dress it right and it can become a home office a playroom a cosy place for relaxing or a gardener's dream potting shed. Another great thing about decorating a shed is that it's a small self-contained project that can be completed in a couple of weekends. So if your plans for a perfect home still seem like a pipe dream turn your attention to a little bit of heaven in your back yard.
