Warmer weather - time to open the garden shed ....

I have shared my garden shed / summerhouse several times before - time-to-get-outdoors-ready-for-summer & my-little-retreat-in-garden

We have had a lovely 3 day long Bank Holiday weekend & with the sunshine I have thrown open the doors to my space for a spruce up after our long winter.

After finding evidence of a mouse last year, I made sure I closed it all up really well, sealed up the tiny knot hole on the floor & when I flung open the doors, the first thing I noticed was beads from the bead curtain on the floor & damaged ribbon ....

The knot hole on the floor has been enlarged / gnawed & again a cushion has been chewed for nesting material. I can only imagine that the field mouse thought the beads were food of sorts as it gathered them near the nest *sighs*

Do you have any humane advice to offer?

The wicker chair cushions were now too mousey so they were thrown out & our large pink cushions will have to do until I find replacement ones.

I changed the colours a little last year when I found the ribbon door curtains & so it has become more pink, blue & green - girlie even ...

I always love bunting in there & I am fond of the bright pink chandelier which the daughters do not like but I love the brightness of it ... what do you think?

This is our selection of pink cushions, rugs & textiles  ...

Some of the details on the ribbon curtain, bunting & cushions

 

The shabby chic outdoor baskets are a recent addition too & I think they are lovely

 

The various textures & surfaces are interesting in the limited colour range

 

 

It is now all de-moused (my own word ...) a champagne cork plugs its hole & I am hoping to spend much time there just reading, drinking tea, relaxing & catching up ... It has Wi-Fi from the house so I can catch up on all the lovely blogs too.

Thanks for stopping by - are you ready for summer?
