Ever since Cheryl's She Shed burned down, this design trend has been going viral. And it is easy to see why- what woman wouldn’t want a backyard retreat tailored just for them? A She Shed is a small shed or building in your backyard that is used as a home office, craft room, or spiritual retreat.
1. Function: Your She Shed is the perfect place to find calm, find a new hobby or just find your old self. Since the space can be multi-functional it is easy to try to cram everything in, don’t do it. Pick 1 or 2 main activities to help steer clear of overcrowding the space. If you love to garden, then the space can act as a relaxing potting shed. If you are a bookworm, your space will be filled with books and a comfy chair.
2. Location: It is important that the space be away from the house. Even in a smaller yard this is doable. The main premise is a getaway to relax, and you can’t do that surrounded by all the things that weigh on your mind in everyday life.
3. Pillows Galore: Let’s face it throw pillows are the stuffed animals of grown women. I love throw pillows, different shapes and sizes- but they irritate my husband and seem that they always end up on the floor of my family room. Throw pillows make the space more cozy and are the key to relaxation- so feel free to go crazy!
As always, Happy Decorating!!!:-)
