I never get attached to real estate and, consequently, feel no thrill when it comes to bricks and mortar. Yes, I do get that it is most probably only the biggest investment made in a lifetime and, appropriately, usually an occasion of great celebration. After all, owning ones own piece of turf and being the Queen of ones own palace (or King of the Castle ) is a noteworthy accomplishment. But no. I’m not one for the tendencies of many a soul in that excitement is the over-ruling emotion when it comes to a bunch of walls sealed with an iron lid.
Anyhoo, given the number of houses (and places ) I’ve lived in over the years, it is most probably a very good thing that attachment is not a biggie Now, just to be clear, that doesn’t mean I don’t bond with whats on the inside…meaning all my stuff!!! (And, as I am sure I have mentioned, I am a bit of a hoarder so there does tend to be a bit of stuff. In fact, I’m about due for a clear out now but am pretty sure that I will find some reason to postpone )
But…No…No. I never get excited by a bunch of bricks, slab of stone, pile of wood or wall of fibre cement Well, that’s what I always thought and then, just yesterday, spending a lazy afternoon scrolling my way through my favourite sites, I happened upon a fabulous article from PowWow.com especially for the ladies…
First there were actual caves. Then came man caves. So what’s the next hot thing in gender-specific sanctuaries? Meet the ‘she shed,’ a backyard haven for
busyall women seeking a quiet reprieve from the world. A place for a little introverting
My immediate reaction was, ‘This is what I have just Built!!!’ Well, not exactly me swinging the hammer and no, not exactly the same build because I still have to facilitate the garaging of vehicles. But the concept is spot on. I too constructed an upstairs to accommodate my own hobbies and purposes, just like the article. I don’t have a photo of mine with me, but take this one and add another half the size, and that’s pretty much it! Fab right
OMG! I am just tripping over myself with how gloriously in vogue I am
Tinerate, am loving the idea of the space designed especially for the girls. The she shed is a private oasis for us, much like the man cave but with a stomp of feminine. Here are just a few of the fabulous inspirations I found on PureWow.com…
Fancy afternoon tea under a chandelier in the she shed?
How about a snooze sanctuary???
or even a tree house she shed
Personally I am partial to this she shed with a deck and plenty of space to have the girls over for an afternoon game of bridge!
I am just loooving the spectacular she shed and am now all inspired to get stuck in to the long overdue task of organising mine! Maybe I’ll do a couple of different ‘rooms’ within the space…writing retreat…art area. Ooo, individual studio spaces… Mmm, thinking….thinking…
Talk about famous last words re getting excited
Till next time.
Tipsy Pipsy xo
Snooze sanctuary yes please! Xx
Just too inviting, isn’t it
