No. 23 Sheds, Studios & Pool Houses · Modern Farmhouse

Rustic Potting Shed with Attached Greenhouse

Beside raised vegetable beds and a gravel path, a weathered timber potting shed features an outdoor workbench lined with terracotta pots and an attached glass greenhouse near a white board-and-batten farmhouse.

Design notes

Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.

What to look for

  • Roof pitch, siding and windows that echo the main house
  • The path, the light by the door and the planting around it
  • Power, insulation and drainage if you will work or sleep in it
