Virginia Woolf was right. Women-and men, it turns out-yearn for a room of their own. But instead of a little nook beneath the eaves, that room is now a shed. Today's sheds, however, are not dusty shelters for plants and tools. Lace curtains have replaced cobwebs, charming antiques stand where shovels and rakes once rusted, and instead of corrugated walls, you will find cedar shingles and window boxes. Sheds are stylish and elegant and offer a hassle-free and affordable way to create more space without undergoing a major renovation. They function as artists' studios, writers' retreats, yoga dens, entertaining pavilions, children's playhouses, garden rooms, or serene hideaways for any personal pursuit. In "Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways," Debra Prinzing and William Wright showcase twenty-eight innovative and beautifully imagined spaces from New York City to East Hampton, from Seattle to San Diego, and from Atlanta to Austin to Santa Cruz. Some are elaborate and luxurious; others are delightfully modest. They are built in urban gardens and suburban backyards and tucked away on rural properties. Stunning, lush color photography graces "Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways," bringing the reader into each space and face-to-face with all its nooks, crannies, and details; the text describes how the owners' needs and interests inspired the shed practically and aesthetically. With sample plans for building a shed, advice on the practicalities of designing and decorating it, and thoughts from backyard philosophers who celebrate the appeal and possibilities of simple structures, "Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways" is both an inspiration for creating your own backyard destination and an armchair journey to some of the country's most private and serene places.
