10 Stunning She Sheds - ODDEE

Sandra Foster has her own shabby-chic retreat. It may not have a bathroom or a kitchen, but it is a dream of Victoriana: stacks of Limoges

china with tiny rosebud patterns; chandeliers dripping crystal; billows of tissue-paper garlands.This is all the more impressive because she renovated the 9-by-14-foot cottage, an old hunting cabin, herself. The cost of renovating and furnishing it: $3,000. (Source)

Orla Kiely is widely known for her geometric and organic designed patterns on virtually everything. Here, she created a vintage inspired retreat that"s got us swooning. (Source)

Courtney Hamill and her husband, Jim Crozier, spent three months transforming their backyard shed into a 200-square-foot studio so that she could have a place to pursue turning her passion for ceramics into a career. (Source)

Tonita Fernandez decided to have a home away from home custom-built for her. To save for it, she gave up her $100/month cell phone. She dubbed her house "the menopause cave," and uses it as a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. (Source)

Caroline Counsell, 42, is a sales assistant who lives in Redhill, Surrey, with husband Darren, 45, a mechanic, and their two sons. She calls the shed an "escape from a house in which I am outnumbered by men" and says the only male allowed over the threshold is her Jack Russell, Mylo! (Source)

Belinda Brown, 43, lives with husband Andrew, 47, and their two children in Epsom, Surrey, where she runs a business from home.

When the Browns moved into their house ten years ago, the shed at the end of the garden was rather ramshackle. Belinda transformed the structure into a duck egg blue "girl"s pad." She says it"s her sanctuary: "You won"t find any filthy trowels. Instead there are cushions, strawberry-print curtains, bunting and fairy lights." (Source)

Ann Bates' she shed is a tribute to her late parents who grew up in the '50s. She's spent £10,000 pulling it together and it includes a working jukebox, popcorn maker, retro fridge, vintage radio, phone and light-up gas pump.

English teacher Tatiana Hardisty's she shed has elaborate stained glass panes designed to resemble the art nouveau windows of the main thoroughfare in St Petersburg, Russia, where she grew up. (Source)

10 Easy DIY Shelves That You Can Actually Build Yourself

One of the easiest yet high impact DIY home decor projects you can do is building a small shelf. It’s simple as far as handcrafting goes and you can design it to make a statement decor piece for display as well as extra storage. So while you can buy cheap shelves in stores and install them easily, just a little bit more effort will give you unique results.

Want to actually build a shelf or two at home yourself? Here are 10 of the most beautiful yet fairly easy projects you can take on. And while you do that, leave some leeway to be creative and allow yourself to drift away a little from the instructions if just to add your unique personal touch.

10 DirtSimple Woodworking Jigs You Need

10 Dirt-Simple Woodworking Jigs You Need

Drill Press Table

Many drill press tables are too small for woodworking because they were designed for metalworking. Also, standard drill press tables don"t

have a fence or an insert to back up holes drilled all the way through a piece of wood. This jig solves these problems!

Make the table from three layers of 1/2-in. medium-density fiberboard glued together. It"s fastened to the machine"s table from underneath with four lag screws. The table"s top layer is composed of three pieces. The outer pieces are glued to the table, while the center piece—the insert—is loose. The insert is 1/8 in. narrower than the gap between the two outer pieces. Install three flat-head screws in the side of the insert and adjusted them so the insert fits snug in the gap.

When you need a fresh surface to drill into, slide the insert in or out, flip it around or flip it over. Also, make a few extra inserts so you can toss one away when it starts looking like Swiss cheese. The fence is just a plain board clamped to the table.
