“Chic Sheds” :: The Ace Look of the Week

February 2, 2017

For years, man has had his “cave.” A masculine retreat which can incorporate any of the following, wine, cigars, football, elaborate theater systems and an occasional recliner. Then a few years ago someone created the concept of the “she shed,” and women around the world became enamored with the idea of having a backyard nook solely designed for more feminine pursuits. A “chic-shed” hideaway where they can enjoy a good book, a glass of wine or an intimate gathering of close friends.

And the “she-shed” continues to evolve becoming “a sanctuary of style” complete with chandeliers, high-end finishes and all the fine accouterments needed to escape the mundane. It’s a grown-up version of a dollhouse, an opportunity for women to let their creativity and design sensibilities take free rein. And we are smitten. What began as converted gardening sheds and outbuildings have given birth to an industry devoted entirely to “she culture.”

“A living space should be your sanctuary. It has to be a place where you can reflect on your life.” – Tadao Ando

We think everyone woman deserves a little “she-cation” without having to do anything but walk out the back door to find a little tranquility. So move over she-shed, there’s a new girl in town. And it’s called the “chic-shed.”

And welcome to our new weekly Series- devoted entirely to “looks we love” and we hope you will too! So if you are inspired to make a change, or are just design curious we hope you’ll follow along as we share our favorite looks in design.

So read on to find out more about our favorite chic “she-sheds”…
