No. 41 Sheds, Studios & Pool Houses · Modern Farmhouse
Weathered Wood She Shed with French Doors
Featuring weathered board-and-batten siding, this she shed retreat houses an interior reading nook and opens onto a gravel courtyard with illuminated string lights, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit at dusk.
Design notes
Modern farmhouse design keeps things honest: white board-and-batten or painted brick, black-framed windows and doors, standing-seam metal roofs, cedar posts and beams. Outside, that means gravel and bluestone rather than fancy paving, a big lawn, raised beds, a porch or pavilion with a fan, and simple furniture in black or natural wood. Lighting is gooseneck barn lights and warm string lights, never anything glossy.
What to look for
- Roof pitch, siding and windows that echo the main house
- The path, the light by the door and the planting around it
- Power, insulation and drainage if you will work or sleep in it
