Blame it on Pinterest and Instagram, but we’ve got a major case of she shed envy these days. Who doesn’t secretly desire a little backyard hideaway for gardening, writing, crafting and working? The latest she shed trend is making it even easier to have one in your own backyard, no power tools or mad carpentry skills needed. Shepherd’s huts are pre-built and have wheels for easy transportation. Just roll it on up the drive and through the gate, and voila! Your she shed dreams are about to come true.
