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:

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Image
Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2. A Double Sided Jigger "The key to efficiently making cocktails (that are also consistent in taste) req

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
