In case you were wondering there actually is a crooked shed. Our "garage" is original to the house(just shy of 100 years old) It's the real deal with dirt floors, lovely old beamed ceiling, heavy original doors and windows. Sound charming? Well in reality it can be a pain the dirt floors are messy and there is a red squirrel which occasionally tries to claim it as his own (our cat Tommy keeps him in line most of the time!) and he is not shy to scream at us whenever we go in there.
I know my lovely husband often wishes he had a brand-spanking new attached garage like "normal people"! A few years ago we noticed it starting to lean a bit and after every winter it seems to shift a little bit more.
Now to be fair maybe I should also call our house the crooked cottage because let's just say you can't really play marbles on some of our floors-there is a bit of a lean there too, but at least you can't see it from the outside!
We should pull it down, we could build a lovely"old looking " shed that would be sooo much more practical but the thing is....I kinda love that shed. I love the way the vines grow all over it. I love the way the Hydrangeas and black eyed Susans look up against it. I actually can't imagine my garden without it. I know one day it will come down and I'll miss it but I plan to keep every door and window so that lovely new garage my husband pictures.... it will be full to the rafters with "junk" from the crooked shed!!
