"She shed" is a kind of terrible name for a concept that's actually pretty cool: a female alternative to the "man cave," AKA a dedicated space where a gal can go to read, work on her hobbies, or just get five minutes of peace.
Here are some truly dreamy ones from the book She Sheds: A Room of Your Own.
1. This shed, which the owner had dreamed about for years, and finally got herself as a milestone birthday gift:
2. This rustic San Luis Obispo space:
To me, you are Pinterest-perfect.
3. This gorgeous gardening shed:
4. This California space, which features loads of upcycled materials:
The windows, which the owner's friend had in her barn, are 50 years old but had never been used.
5. This classy little spot:
The shingles! The DOORS!!! The owner, an avid horsewoman, uses it to store all of her tacking, and as a place to display the awards she's won at horse shows.
6. This sunny studio, where the owner, a jewelry maker, goes to work:
It's insulated and wired for electricity, and means the owner no longer has to use her blowtorch in the house. 😊
7. This airy shed, which the owner, a floral designer, uses to create arrangements for wedding clients:
8. This modern stunner:
TAKE A LOOK AT THE INSIDE:
9. This East Texas shed, which is made almost entirely from salvaged and upcycled materials:
10. This simple modern space, where the owner paints and teaches art classes:
11. This little charmer, which looks like a playhouse for grown-ups:
HI, YOU ARE CUTE.
The owner uses it as a studio for sketching.

It's also very ~green~. Learn more here.
13. Or this one:
It actually sits behind the owner's historic home.
14. There's also this Spanish-style shed:
15. And this gorgeous glass house:
Of the shed's 30 windows, all but eight of them can actually be opened. It was built entirely with recycled materials, and though it took two years to finish, it only cost $600.
16. This all-American space, which started as a purchased tool shed:
The owner's husband customized it.
10/10, would go there to text.
17. This simple book-filled cabin:
18. This eclectic space:
19. And this gorgeous hexagon-shaped shed, which sits on the edge of an award-winning garden:
Despite the elegant exterior, it's actually very practical — it's just used for regular old storage.
