Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways

Oh! I didn't even know I WANTED a garden shed until I saw this book. I have a small back yard, filled with trees and a pond, no room at all for a structure. I briefly contemplated pulling out the trees in exchange for a romantic shed (no, not really, but I DID long for more room so I could have a garden structure). This is a beautiful book, gorgeous pictures, delightfully written, and a must have for gardeners everywhere. While the sheds themselves are beyond the average budget, the ideas they inspire to do on your own budget are infinite. Get this book, and do like I did...sit with a few other gardeners and browse through the pages together. You'll ooh and aah and make other unseemly noises while lifting your wineglass. A must have for making your garden wish list during the heat of summer or cold of winter when we gardeners turn to books and planning since we can't be outdoors.

I love this book--it reminds me of how I used to pore over the Sears Wishbook when I was a kid, studying all the possible options for inclusion in my letter to Santa. The shed and design ideas help me reimagine my existing garden--despite the lack of shed space--by letting me see how the structures work with the landscape around them. So even though I only have space for fences and arbors, the gorgeous photography gives me inspiration for creating views, making plant choices, and understanding scale and color. I also love seeing how people interpret sheds and how they fit varying tastes and lifestyle possibilities. I long for a shed of my own someday, and seeing all these wonderful possibilities certainly has helped me develop a more detailed vision of exactly what I want.

I am in the process of upgrading my office/studio shed into a comfortable and stylish hideaway. I found this well written and well illustrated book to be a mine of ideas. It's a work in progress as I personalize some of those valuable ideas and incorporate them into my own little hideaway. This book is a 'must have' if you're thinking about your own special space.Vi Jones

Mislabeled. Shed Interior Decorating is more accurate. Needs more sheds, fewer vases, bookshelves, famous owner stories.

My wife is getting ideas from this which are guiding her in the design direction she wants including the shed/studio and landscaping. no real blueprints but this will help her find what she wants

Great idea book. Does not have measurement.

Like other 'inspiration' books, I wish they had more info on what climate certain designs and materials worked for certain parts of the country. You would have to have an excellent contractor that you trust to make this book work for you.

Great Ideas. My mom love's it and she made millions decorating and renovating old historic houses in Dutchess County NY.

Beautiful book, full of wonderful ideas. It has style and warmth. Inspiring.

gave this to my daughter in law for her birthday - she is busy finding inspiration from its pages

They could explain more about how build sheds or minimaly put the informatio about, like the area... Could be better.
