Joanna Gaines has influenced many of us in the design world. Her potting shed above is to die for…just done perfectly with all the bells and whistles. So, with spring in full bloom, we thought it would be nice to share some inspiration for those weekend warriors ready to tackle the work in the yard. Perhaps a little incentive from these beautiful sheds will give you a push out the door!
