I love a cute, romantic or otherwise charming garden shed that could easily be used as a little summer house (a garden structure used for relaxation in warm weather) in the backyard! I’m not sure why I love them so much, but I just do. I have been dreaming of a little garden escape in my own backyard for quite some time.

Since we have a new house without trees or much landscaping, I’m in need of ideas for camouflaging the view of our neighbors. While trees will definitely be in the plans over the next few years, I’m also thinking about a garden shed. Not only would it be practical for garden storage or a dreamy backyard escape, but it could offer privacy and give our yard a little more structure.

Here is a round up of some pretty summer house inspired garden sheds! From yard tool storage to a backyard guest room, check out these out and tell me your favorites.

Good night, moon. I’d sleep in the shed every night and never complain.

This is a sweet little shed. My girls would have loved that as a play house!

That shed is basically a guest house in your backyard. Actually, I could live there. Forget the main house.

And this little backyard gem? Perfect little escape from the heat of the summer sun.

I’m thinking I could get used to a morning quiet time with a cup of tea in this backyard church er, shed? Sigh.

Oh, this open and airy lattice shed is so adorable! I love that it would let the breeze and light filter through, making it the perfect place to garden on a beautiful summer day!
