Meet Me at the She-Shed
People. Listen up. I have a new obsession. They're gorgeous. Or fun. Or quirky. Usually small. What are these things? Why, she-sheds, of course! Now, I just can't let Cheryl of State Farm fame have all the she-shed glory, so here's my plan. A she-shed for every "she" in Cedar Rapids. Once we have them all set up, we take over the world!
Or maybe meet up for wine? Either works for me.
Seriously, we have dedicated space for almost every "person" category-man caves, kids' playrooms, mini-bars, craft rooms, heck, even present wrapping rooms (tempting as that last one is, I just don't have the space. Hmmm. Wrapping paper station in my she-shed? Light bulb moment!). Many of us have sheds already in our back yards that hold our outdoor living tools. Do we really need all that space for that boring stuff (my apologies if those tools are NOT boring to you)?
Okay, let's get started. Clear the space, pick out the perfect paint for the walls, and most importantly, find the right lighting system. Are you a classic chandelier person? A fairy lights free spirit? A funky geometric shaped piece hipster? These are important distinctions! Now, for furniture. You probably won't have room for more than one or two pieces. Time for decisions-is this more of a cozy nook for reading or dreaming? Look at daybeds or soft couches, then pile on some fuzzy throw blankets and lots of pillows. Is this your art or writing studio? Find a small desk and chair, and possibly add a comfy armchair to curl up and imagine your next creation. Are you a crafter or indoor gardener? Storage space rules here-get a chair and table with drawer space, and put up lots of shelving. Need some more inspiration? Check out these amazing spaces here:
The possibilities are endless. If you've been needing a getaway area to call your own, this is the perfect solution. Let's get the she-shed movement started in Cedar Rapids! And don't forget to invite me over to check it out when you're done-I'll bring the wine!
