It was just a matter of time. In keeping with the wave of man cave remodels which have raced across the countryside, spreading football jerseys and neon Budweiser signs in their wake, women are now designing personal, little retreats from stress and distraction with a style all their own.
The new trend first grew to public attention when women began appearing on Pinterest, and then news programs including The Today Show, describing how their new she sheds were revitalizing their gardens, energizing their creative sides, and even saving their marriages! Since those initial introductions women around the world have been breathing new life and new purpose into their home’s old backyard shed and we’re frankly amazed at what they’ve done!
