Before & After: From rusty shed to rustic chic
Taking shabby chic to a whole new level, this shed is now a gorgeous entertaining zone that can now host anything from a pizza party to a spring wedding.
In a spectacular transformation, a country garden has come back to life with carefully created zones.
This backyard property in rural New South Wales has gone from zero to hero. Aiming for a 'modern country' vibe, the homeowners were after a garden with hues of blue and turned the old shed into an entertaining zone with a pub vibe.
An elegant mix of statement trees, greenery and pops of colour deliver a look that in time will become a beautiful country garden. "Although this is nestled in a very Australian backdrop, it is quite fitting to use more traditional ornamental plants like magnolias in the garden," says HB Editor-in-chief Wendy Moore.
"The softly curving beds create a calming, relaxing atmosphere - this will grow into a lovely garden in time."

Expanses of greenery and pretty plantings soften the impact of the hardscaping.
A rustic chic vibe prevails in the carefully curated outdoor dining zone, where a table and chairs from Burning Log dressed with accessories from Early Settler create an invitation to dine.
