But I figured we could call it a barn if it was the right color. So we have kind of argued for a while ( 2 years) over what color it should be. This summer the boys and I went to buy paint - without mentioning it to Wrangler man and this is what he came home to:
Well - first - this is it - all grey like and primer colored, and weathering.....
Here we got started - I got the job of painting around the windows first - so if there was a boo boo it was my fault!
This was the shady wall - it was done FIRST!
I loved making the kids climb up and down the ladder!
And the spots were pretty much the end of the first day.
And Ta Da.....
I think it needs a quilt block next. So we have been submitting our designs. The made at Home Depot said he could cut me a 4ft by 4ft square and we could paint it. What kind of block do you think would look the best? I am thinking a star or spinny type block .....

Oh, a blue and white star block for sure!
My husband and I both had barns in our previous lives, along with much-loved memories of those barns but we live in town now, no barn, but we DO continue to call our garage "the barn". 8-))
Yes, it still needs a quilt block! I'll be any kind of block would look good on that side of your 'barn'. 8-))
Ohh, but more than one will fit I'm sure. So a theme is in order . . . hmmmm, still thinkin'.
Definitely a blue and white star with maybe a little bit of gold/yellow.....
Definitely a blue and white star with just a touch of red (inside away from the red walls) to make this a QOV barn!
Not certain what design but QOV colors do seem appropriate. Just remember to seal both sides of the board so that it will last a long time. Love the red!!!
How about "Contrary Wife"? LOL!
or "Hole in the Barn Door"
I think it looks much better red, and you were definitely right!
A barn quilt! How exciting!!!
I have a shed out back and want to make me a barn quilt too! Just need to commit to helping me mount it securely and I'm off and running...
For sure, it needs a quilt block. How cool to have a barn quilt~!
How about a pinwheel using blue and white? It could "blow" in the wind.....:) Love the "shed/barn" paint job!
How about a sunflower block? Quilts of Valor spread a lot of sunshine!
The colors should be RWB in honor of our Vets, but I thought (humorously) that you should make the block be the "monkey wrench", since I'm sure you put a monkey wrench in Wrangler Man's thoughts about any color he was contemplating. lol
I love it!! And...while I was going thru the photos, I was thinking...there would be the perfect place for a quilt block! I'm all for a blue and white 'something' to emphasize all the great work you do with QOVs! I have a small barn in my back yard...had a HUGE one on the ranch...and I plan to put a quilt block on each end of this little barn...it's on my 'to do' list!
I def. agree with the blue and white star idea!!! Very appropriate for a fellow QOV'er!!!
