The whimsical. Like a treehouse, everyone is enchanted by the idea of having a garden shed—one’s very own private retreat. Whether a room of one’s own for quiet, much needed “personal” time away from the family, a hobbyist’s den, or an extra play space for the children, these picturesque structures can accommodate any purpose. The shed—that charming cottage-like outbuilding—is coming into its own, and this detailed and wonderfully illustrated guide will inspire anyone interested in adding a shed to their home or redecorating an existing one with its vast array of design ideas. Whether you want a personal getaway, a studio for creative endeavors, a home office, or a traditional potting shed, this book is sure to inspire with details about planning, building, and decorating sheds. Included are a series of sample cases highlighting the multiple uses possible along with wonderful interior and exterior photographs.

Up Close Beautiful Pictures and Lots of Them I picked up this book by impulse and was glad I did. This book does not have diagrams to build sheds but it does show lots of pictures with ideas on how to organize sheds into a pool building, office, small apartment, etc. It is amazing how such small spaces can be converted into useful areas. I loved the kitchen area and the clever built in red dining “couch” at the end of one particular shed. Beautiful colorful pictures some of them up close so you can see how they arranged things to fit.
Best of the Shed books. I am gathering ideas for a back yard shed with landscaping. I want charming to the max, and this book has more pictures and more variety of sheds than any other book. I have four other books and I could have skipped all of them had I purchased this one first.
Shed Chic: Outdoor Buildings for Work, Rest, and Play Wonderful book that is full of, not only outbuilding ideas, but outdoor decorating ideas as well. A valuable book to have if you are doing any improvment in your yard. I love it and feel it is well worth the purchase.
