Apparently, "She Sheds" Are a Thing Now

House to Home via Lighter Side of Real Estate
File this under rooms we never knew we needed. For ladies who are jealous of their partner's "man cave," there is finally a solution for you: "She Sheds." As The Lighter Side of Real Estate has mused, "Why should men have all the sheds?" and they're pushing for women to have a place to call her own.

Man Caves were born out of the assumption that most women (read: wives) control the home — and a fella needs his own space (read: a converted garage, basement or attic full of "his things"). So what's a She Shed for then? Different styles we've seen include an English Country-inspired sitting area, a crafting command center, and a diner.

But, hey, if this just gives you one more space to kick back with a glass of wine (or two) and your favorite book/craft/group of girlfriends, then we won't knock it.

Take a look at some designs below:
