Sheds are usually hidden in a back corner of a yard to store away the lawnmower, children’s toys and other random yard tools. I’d like a shed for the storage but I certainly don’t want to keep it hidden as a square structure amongst overgrown bushes and trees. I look forward to landscaping around it with an inviting patio in front for a bistro table and chairs. It will be a retreat. It will be a place where I’d like to sit in front to daydream or drink a cup of coffee while looking at the birds and the flowers. Does the thought of a private retreat in your backyard inspire you?

Below are some examples of what I envision:
