. . . and then I screamed!

In December 2014, when Steve asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I shocked him by saying, "a house".

I showed him my Pinterest page on garden houses and he surprised me by actually having a house built - you can read about it here.

I am constantly playing around with the interior of my little 4'x6' shed striving for the right balance of fun, storage and a place to sit.

I began following @sheshedliving on Instagram for inspiration and I would often send Erika Kotite, the author of, She Shed . . . a room of your own, pics of cute She Sheds.

Fast forward to a week ago when the mailman delivered an unexpected package and inside was a copy of She Sheds Style, Erika's latest book.

I began flipping through the pages of the book and then I screamed

 because there was a picture of my little shed right there on a page in the book.

You see, I was not expecting my house to be included - Erika had not mentioned it.

In September 2017, Erika sent the sweetest photographer, Rebecca Ittner, to our house to photograph my She Shed and I knew from past experiences that it's a long time between a photo shoot and a publication.

In July, Erika sent me a copy of her new calendar, She Sheds 2019, with my little shed featured for the month of July.

So I was totally surprised, and yes, I really did scream, when I saw my little shed on page 93 and again on page 121.

What an unexpected and thrilling moment to see my She Shed there on the pages of a book.

It may be the size of a phone booth (really dated myself there) and there is no enormous chair, but my little room suits me just fine.
