Creating the perfect ‘she shed’ — tented, no less
It sounds like the remnants of a tongue twister: “tented she shed.” But it’s actually a very clever way to turn an unused room in a lovely three-story home into a personal chamber that’s perfect for reading, relaxing, movie watching or meditation.
The homeowner wanted a space all her own, explains interior designer Vera Jaye of Jaye Design.
“It’s a big house and she travels a lot and had gone through some recent family hardships and just wanted a place to chill out and be by herself … As soon as I heard what she needed — that peacefulness — I immediately saw a tented room.”
The previous owner had used the room as a workout space. It has stunning waterfront views as well as direct access to a balcony, so you can focus completely on the wildlife that comes into view.
“Once I understood Vera’s vision, it was the first time in my life that I felt that I absolutely needed this,” the homeowner says.
