Are you going to leave the pump house white or paint it a different color before you put the sunflower on it? I painted both a dresser and a free standing screen with sunflowers. Sold the dresser but still have the screen. I painted the background a deep royal blue, then the flowers over it. They just "popped" off of the screen and dresser and really looked great.
Can't wait to see your results. I wish I had an outbuilding to do that to. It would be so much fun.

I dream of having an out building to paint sunflowers on!!! But then, they ARE my favorite flower!!! LOL (Though I don't really overly decorate with them in my home.)
I was thinking of leaving the house white and putting either a big sunflower on it or the same thing I did to a doll apron last night. got up at 7 this morning and finished embroidering it. will take a photo of it and post when I get home from work. it is 3 sunflowers in a row and the initials FG under it. It turned out great.
