To paint or not to paint??.......

You all know how much I love "old stuff" - the more cracked,dented and rusted it is the better I like it. Well I have a dilemma - do I paint the hen house or leave that yummy cracked paint and just coat it with clear sealer???

That window is NOT for snow cone service!!!! It's the nest box window!

You have to use your imagination here- flower beds and such will be forth coming- soooooo What do YOU think? Paint or NOT?

Well, at my house, it would HAVE to be painted. (My husband is a paint fanatic.) Having been to your wonderful home, I would say seal it and leave it as is. It would fit your outdoorsy, rustic, rural chic decor.

Just my humble opinion and does that mean you are getting chickens?

I have to agree with Kim. No paint, just leave it! SO chickens or flowers? I am confused! :) NO its not hard to do!

Both!!! Chickens inside the fence(that isn't there yet) and flower beds to accent the outer henhouse(which will be outside the fence. Two walls of the henhouse will be outside the fence) We're talkin cozy and cute as part of the outdoor decor' - can ya see it???

Did ya know that the previous comment was not Kim Carroll(the paint fanatic husband shoul have given you that clue :) )
but my friend Kimberly Kane- just didn't want you to get confused about Gabe & paint :) :)

Yes! The chickens will LOVE the flowers. Liz

If there is a work or no work option Jason will always choose the later. I vote for rustic simplicity, I think it will be beautiful.

I would love to see a shot from further away. I just cant see where you have your new chicken coop. I am trying to invision, chickens and flowers! If anybody can make chickens cute it is you Ms. Autumn! :)

Yep- I'm looking for cute with this new addition. Of course functional is most important but pleasing and quaint is next in line!:)
