The She Shed
Last month one of my readers asked if I could feature a design based in a smaller space. Which got me to thinking about how I would design a Tiny House, or Loft Apartment. In smaller spaces you really must think about how you intend to use the space and utilize every inch, since real estate is in such high demand.
Honestly I wanted to pay homage to ladies every where by creating a she shed. Which is a perfect example of a very small space that would need to be designed to fit many needs. We have all seen “Cheryl’s She Shed” that burned to ground, lol. I have seen she shed’s themed for gardening, painting, reading, crafting and sewing; basically any hobby or pass time time that a lady chooses when trying to relax and unwind.
The most important thing to remember when designing a small space is to keep your furniture pieces minimal but multi functional. For example this day bed can be a sofa or bed and has storage drawers underneath which is essential in a tight space. Nesting tables can be stored away when not in use but provides extra surfaces when needed. Vertical is always a good choice when you have very little floor space, pick items with a small footprint and go tall.

For a she shed you want the space to be lux, cozy and uber girly. I think a chandelier is a must for this type space. I love this beaded rustic chandelier which may seem excessive for this type of space, but right now it is 60% off at Wayfair making it a total steal, so I say splurge.

I like the idea of keeping the space clean and neutral. Then change out your throws and pillows seasonally. I imagine the space lined with floor to ceiling drapes like the pretty one below.

Make sure to add the creature comforts to your she shed. Since it is an outdoor room, you may want to add a fan for the warmer months. This oscillation stand fan is fantastic and does not take up a lot of floor space. Of course, you would find a wine cooler, similar to this one, in my she shed. This is a nice one, since it has adjustable shelves to house cans or bottles.

I love this little structure, which is absolutely perfect for a she shed. While I do love the shed in this rustic barn red color, I would recommend that you match the exterior colors to your existing home’s exterior colors to keep the HOA and neighbors happy. This shed also has the fantastic touches of the weather vane and the window box, which only adds to the charm.

I would love to have a she-shed. Very cute.
I’ve always wanted to have a she-shed, and designing small spaces is honestly such a fun challenge! I’ll probably be having to downsize my own space soon, so this is great stuff to keep in mind!
Well, I live in a building, so there’s no garden to have a shed in. However, my boyfriend and I have three rooms and the third was unused until recently. Nope, we didn’t start a family, unless I count my blog as my baby! :))
Anyway, this last weekend I worked on decluttering this third room, to turn it into a nice place to blog from or to read a book. There are two ideas I liked and might use: pillows with a similar pattern and the framed quote. Thank you!
Dreaming of a she shed! I like that you give us the structure and give us just enough space to put our personal stamp on it. Thanks for all the great ideas and inspiration.
I love all the decorative pieces here. I have heard about the shed for women before and think it’s such a neat idea!

I love the idea of a she shed! I wish we had room on our property for it because I need this. The mix of shabby chic and glam are right up my alley too!
Omg this is so creative. I love this idea and the design.
These are cute ideas! I wish I could have a She Shed! Except it would have to have A/C because we live in Florida! 🙂
The idea of the “She Shed is new to me. It seems to be equivalent of the man cave. It would really be nice to have a “She shed with all the girly things and girly colors I like without my husband saying that is too girly. He doesn’t like me telling him how to take of his man cave. This would be a good one.
OMG I love this
I never knew a she-shed even existed! I want one now after reading your post!
So creative and inspiring!
