She Sheds – I think this may catch on

she shed

Reading the Courier this morning and came across an article on “She Sheds” – gal’s version of a man cave. So I thought, why not!  Maybe I’m late to the party on this one, but having a place to retreat to the great outdoors  that doesn’t involve putting up a tent, is on the cool side of easy! So, I googled “She Sheds” and found several links. Thought I’d share one

Now some of these are really fun.  Others are just a little too girlie for me. But think about it.  You head up to Lowes and pick out a nice little shed that you can decorate all your own. No tools, no lawn mower.

You add windows, drapes, paint the door your favorite shade of whatever and viola, you have a private urban and upscale retreat, all your own, that you can head off to for some quiet reflection.  Put a space heater in there and you can use it all year long.

What do you think of the idea of a She Shed parked outside your abode?  And what would YOU use it for?  We have really got to talk about this one!

The Louisville Skyline

Various 467The Louisville Skyline is young.  We don’t have the huge skyscrapers you see in bigger cities like Chicago or NYC.  We also don’t have some of the density issues either.  You can travel around and your GPS probably won’t get you lost because it can’t find a clear link to a satellite.  You can see it from the Indiana side of the river or if you’re walking the Big Four Bridge.  Either way, it’s yours to enjoy.

A summer retreat

Summertime in the ‘Ville

Its doesn’t get much prettier or HOTTER in Louisville during the summer. Decks are the outdoor room added to the house.  Just open the back door and the oasis awaits.  We had planned on adding a roof over the deck several years ago, but just couldn’t do it. The view has a tree house affect and was just too lovely. So…we opted for  umbrellas.  Lots and lots of umbrellas. We get shade and can still lean back and see the stars on a warm summer night. Yep, the livin’ is easy up here.
