She Sheds

I'm sure there's some sort of tongue twister akin to "She sells seashells by the seashore" that accompanies a post about She Sheds, but I haven't learned it yet. :)

You've heard of She Sheds, right? Basic, ordinary, backyard sheds that have been transformed into escapes for busy moms (primarily)? Or maybe it's faster to call them man caves for women?

They fascinate me.

Granted, our entire home is a calm place for me. I don't have to escape a messy husband or messy kids. I don't need to get out to a place where I can find calm or decorate something to suit my tastes, because we have all that calm and beauty in our main living spaces. And since my hobby is also my work, I am able to enjoy a whole office dedicated to an inspiration-inducing atmosphere.

But they still fascinate me.

The themes are as varied as the women who create them, as you can see in this article.

But if I were to have a She Shed, it's where I would write. Of course I can write just as well exactly where I do...at my huge desk that gets so messy when the creative juices flow:

I can write in this space where all my books live and inspire me.

But if I were to dream, I'd say let's build this in the backyard. I mean, how cute is that space!? (And is it bad that I knew her light fixture was from IKEA even before I saw that she mentioned that?)

Or what about this one? She even has a Pinterest board to inspire!

A place for a desk...a comfy chair to read in...shelves and shelves and shelves for books...and all the pictures and quotes I could imagine that would spur on creativity. And a coffee pot. Because of course. And coffee mugs. Because see the aforementioned coffee pot. That's what I'd put in my She Shed.

So here's my question for you: if you had a She-Shed (or a man cave, for you guys), what would your theme be?
