I have seen a commercial on TV for an insurance company in which a woman's 'She Shed' gets struck by lightening and burns down, but until now I've never actually known anyone who has a She Shed. If you're not exactly sure what a she shed is, think man cave but for women. A friend of mine has a large back yard and beautiful flower beds. She spends a lot of time in the yard and working with plants, but this summer she has gone one step further and gradually converted her storage building into an actual she shed. Several of us in the same fiber group (the kind you knit with, not the kind you eat) started hearing about this project earlier this year, but this evening she finally had pictures. Inside she has a little refrigerator, a work bench cut down to suit her height and comfy chairs. The pegboard walls are painted and the bottom half covered in fabric. Outside she had a door cut in the side wall (there was already a garage door on one end) and with a window on either side it looks like a perfect little cottage, She even had window boxes built and has flowers growing in them. About the only thing she seems to be lacking is a chandelier. I asked her about that and she said she is considering it. I think a she shed would be fun but the management gets fussy about things we build on our balconies.
