bc home + garden show :: part 2

another great exhibit at the bc home + garden show was a collaborative effort between langley-based cedarshed industries and several businesses from around town. with laneway housing and high-density living becoming a growing trend in vancouver, the folks at cedarshed thought to market their gorgeous sheds as additional indoor spaces -- think backyard offices + guest rooms + playrooms. the possibilities are endless.


i particularly liked the chic shed, above, designed by local shop villa beau interiors. classically beautiful, french-vintage style with a touch of glam. what a fabulous retreat for the backyard! forget the ubiquitous 'man-shed', how about a perfectly pretty space for the ladies to unwind after a day at the office or running around with the kids? love it.


my other fave was the backyard office, designed by nood. sleek + simple, with a modern lean that is nood's signature style [they make reproductions of high-profile furniture designs]. with many people choosing to work from home, or take the entrepreneurial route, this seems like a great way to acquire the space + privacy needed for a home office, when interior square-footage is limited.

the best part of these sheds, in my opinion? the incredible aroma of freshly sawn western red cedar. west coast perfection.
