POTTING SHED love! | Tour my SHE SHED | Cottage Greenhouse

I finally got around to polishing up the potting shed (she shed?) and I am so happy with how it turned out. I've always desperately loved interior designs outdoors. What do you think of it?

THANK YOU, my friends, for coming to visit my potting shed. She shed? I'm still not sure what to call it... ;)

[@ciaobella8963]

It's a Life Shed. :) And a lovely one at that.

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

The Elliott Homestead she shed In Winter, Potting shed in the nice weather.

The Elliott Homestead Shaylerium (Shaye’s solarium 😉)

[@cherylanderson3340]

It's lovely, & will become even more so, burnished by the time spent enjoying it. Some suspended shelves would be useful. How will you keep rain & snow melting from entering, & ruining your rug & furniture? Is there some kind of a water proof floor, as in a large tent or yurt? In winter, animals may want to burrow or enter, to get in out of the winter weather, & to stay warm. I'm trying to figure out how the walls meet the floor. Do the walls just sit on tbe ground with nothing to keep the wind, rain & critters out? Oh there's something you could add - a small wood stove, with a smoke stack, a way to heat water & cook a little...maybe a toaster / convection oven to reheat foods in covered, ceramic baking dishes - or in metal baking pans, with foil to hold the heat in. I've seen wood stoves in large tents & yurts, but that looks like a plastic shell, so a proper opening & seal would need to be devised, of course. How much wind will it withstand? What kind of framework does it have? I used to have a screened enclosure over my brick patio, so can highly recommend a brick floor, set in sand, atop a gravel bass. Feels so good underfoot, to this day. The screen prch roofing got old, so I had it taken down, but at times I've missed it. Maybe I should've just had it repaired. Loved having it as a place to go when it poured or to sit in as it snowed. We need those extended spaces ...

a slice of heaven

[@christinebrinkworth6033]

How refreshing to hear you say you would like to pray , among other things , to do in your She Shed. Beautiful how well you two work together. God Bless.

[@rebeccajones9735]

You have the most lyrical, soothing voice! I just want you to read to me like my third grade teacher did 57 years ago!! Love this green house haven.

[@linziscarsella6729]

So charming! I can even imagine a little Christmas tree in there with twinkling lights!

[@jred1838]

Propping the chair up with a pail, hammering with a rock - classic! Beautiful space

[@eleanorkerby]

So my dear, I watched this and your discussion of embracing seasons and it leaped at me because I am sixty three on November 1st and just moved to an off grid cabin that we are finishing up. It is not much bigger than your space that you just decorated, likely. It is 16 by 24 including bathroom and closet. I am in a season of sweetness in doing this, and have had friends worry as I sold and gave away a lot of possessions to narrow to those most precious and meaningful. In this, since I am not finished in the interior, I am aching to decorate it but have to finish walls and such first. I had to settle on a gifted practical crocheted dish cloth and a soap dish that I love and treasure and hung some oragami that a friend's son did as a parting gift to me when I moved away. I have a table cloth and place mats to cover a small table that we are using just for the weeks until we finish up inside and get ours out of storage. I am making do and adding my touch. I will always add my touch. I am sure you get that. Also however, I am in the season of my life where I am wintering, fall to wintering. Silver hair was once revered but now the hair color industry is profiting from the hatred of it. I am embracing it. I am using your word embrace. I am unafraid of silver. I know that Spring will come and I will bloom in my Heavenly Father's garden one day. Until then, I am thrilled with Ecclesiastes chapter 3 that there is a time to be born and a time to die, a time to pluch up what was planted and on and on. I am in the cycle of life and my world is beautiful. Just a postscript. I did dishes outside until sink was installed and while doing so a colorful red/gold leaf fell in the dishwater and I thanked the Lord for the gift as I laughed. Blessings

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

eleanor k I don’t why this made me cry. They are certainly not tears of sadness. But, my husband and I built our own house by ourselves the exact size of yours two years ago. And I am sooo grateful for it. We added an extra 70 square feet and now it’s perfect. We are tucked into 24 acres of woods and meadows and I see so much life in these woods every day. To read how even something as small as a leaf falling into your water made you grateful is so heartwarming. I’m excited for you to get the opportunity to live this way. I, too, had to pare down to only my most treasured items that I use daily and it was so eye opening. Now I look around and everything I see and use is just the right thing and makes me smile. Even my husband has spoken repeatedly how beautiful and perfect our home is now compared to our former home that was 2400 square feet. He always thought he needed more space and more stuff, when frankly he just needed the opposite. He just needed a few things that were the right things. May God continue to reveal His goodness to you through large and small ways.

[@eleanorkerby]

@@SimplyBeautiful516 I had thought I had answered you but apparently I have either misplaced it under wrong spot or it didn't take. I am surprised by the joy this place brings me. I don't know if we will ever add to this cabin. I think I need to just see it finished first. I have a greenhouse to put together in the Spring. I know he wants to add a small workshop and an outdoor kitchen for canning. I am not in a hurry for anything. My retirement meant no more hurry up days. I just want to see the goodness that is ours and don't you know the Father delights in our appreciation of it? You know, you truly know.

[@SimplyBeautiful516]

eleanor k You write as one who has learned much in her lifetime. And yes, yes God is so gracious to His children through every single trial and joy. I’m so sorry for the loss you’ve had of your beloved husband and sons. I cannot imagine that level of grief. But, I am also thrilled that you were given another man to love and cherish and be loved and cherished by. I think you have great wisdom to wait and to see if anything else is needed for your new place. We just added that 70 square feet to our home after living here two years and knowing exactly what we needed. People laugh at that but it’s all we needed, so why do more? May God give you laughter and joy together as you live your days in the heartfelt gratitude I can see and hear through your precious words. Thank you for taking the time to write to me and share a little of your thoughts and life. I think one of the most amazing things that God gives to us is the unity of spirit with our fellow believers in Christ.

[@southtexassue6666]

So beautifully stated . Thank you .

[@gailann7813]

What a beautiful addition to the farm. So cozy and inviting. A little get away, yet still at home. Perfect.

[@ekoehn9843]

Loved seeing the precious moment with your daughter! You are such a beautiful example of a mother!

[@lifeinthecountrysidehome]

I love the chandelier. It fits the space perfectly and adds so much charm. You should call the space "the OUTSIDE OASIS". because it is so natural and earthy, yet super relaxing and peaceful. You inspire me to do something similar in my greenhouse. I have an old chandelier too.....now I know what to do with it...LOL

[@skutovr]

Your videos make me so comfortable, so relaxed. Thank you for what you do 🙂

[@J_acke]

This reminded me of my lilac "fort' that I built inside mother's huge lilac bush. I made a writing space for stories and poems, a small cove for keeping snacks and water canteen, and lots of dreamy magazines and floral stationary ;) I loved it, and I can tell you, the lilac aroma and beautiful purple colors and textures made the space a perfect place to write and dream. Thanks for sharing, it's beautiful, blessings! (I just said yesterday to my husband, I need a shed to keep my flowers growing over winter!!) Love the chandelier 🌞

[@eleanorkerby]

my brother and I build a fort in the pines and took our peanut butter sandwiches and with nothing more than the pines and our sandwiches we planned making it like a home with branches and with sticks and it seemed to have taken place, you were blessed to have the lilacs but pine scent always reminds me of that fort and that summer

[@jendyson6729]

so cool, what great memories to have. I had a tree house with books and all kinds of things up in a huge pine tree, always had sap stuck to my hands from climbing up and down to get to it :)

[@simonateglas6736]

I even feel that fragrance!So beautifully said🤗

[@KrissiCreates]

Oh you telling this reminded me of my little place in my Grandmother's lilac bushes ! She even made me a large cushion to sit on and gave me a rug to make it comfortable! Oh what fond memories. Ahhhh...

[@gaymiller09]

I Did the same thing with an old Apple tree that was grown over with honeysuckle Vines. Oh to be that size and that age again

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

Love this project. So special to share it with your daughter too. 😊

[@noelstrang9561]

Thank you for creating a space that I’ve actually been dreaming of for years! I have the chandelier now I just need a greenhouse! I Love yours!

[@suechernet1618]

Just so cozy and comfortable. A place to get away, and still be home. Enjoy!

[@theelliotthomestead]

That's my hope! Think I can pipe an espresso machine in?

[@suechernet1618]

Yes and how about The Shaye Shack!🤣

[@lisagerlach2960]

You are a modern day Tasha Tudor. Love your sanctuary xo

[@karijane210]

Just stunning! I just told my bf I wanted to replace my shed walls and ceiling with clear... I can't wait til spring! 😍😍😍

[@magentaangel5531]

You are such an inspiration, Shaye Elliot, thank you.

[@ashleybowles0507]

I feel like I'm listening to a podcast, but yet watching a video of your words come to life. It's brilliant 💗

[@ZukiGrL1]

~ Girl, you're speaking to my heart when you mentioned the chandelier!! What a beautiful oasis you've created for the coming winter months...❄ Thank you for sharing with us.

[@kaywalker8856]

What is the brand name of the chandelier? It’s beautiful!

[@Angie-ci1lp]

First let m say…your SHE SHED❤️! You’re so blessed to have a clear beautiful she shed of your own🥲 We should have an old vintage chandelier!!!!😍 I love a cozy furniture ❤️ Your husband is feel it too`

[@mlm7598]

I love your she shed/or your nuturing space or perhaps your "pause in the days occupation" space. As all of nature takes a rest and a renewal time, so do it's caregivers so both can be restored and renewed for a new season of productivity and renewal of spirit and energies that bring fort another dawning of a new year of a new beginning! What a lovely place to rest/renew/enjoy and rejuvenate! Something we all need to do and nature often forces us to do in a good way! :) Love your channel. It brings me peace and calm to my soul and spirit. Your voice is so calming, have you ever considered reading audio books for others? Your voice is so filled with goodness and a meaningful knowledge .............I think it would be amazing. Your husbands voice is as well the same. What a gift! Blessings

[@joycetaggart3123]

I love it! and to share it with your Daughter is so special! Joyce

[@jogo6571]

Beautiful , simple, but elegant mixed with rustic magic! Great place to dream!!! Enjoy!

[@theelliotthomestead]

I love the marriage between the two!

[@jogo6571]

Btw!! Enjoy your cookbooks.

[@susanovington3930]

It’s gorgeous!! Every woman deserves a space of their own to dream!

[@gkevineady49]

You really need a SHE HAMMER. You were really rockin'.

[@bluesky7226]

How delightful! I hope you are enjoying your she shed as much this year as you did last year. It is a dream of mine to have one of my own. I just have to get moving on it. May God continue to bless your family abundantly.

[@loreneknight9755]

Looks super sweet! Explore. Period. Whatever God lays on your heart. Keep on fighting the good fight!!

[@walkbyfaithfamily9177]

Love it!! Now you just need a little wood burning chiminea for some extra warmth. Can you do that in a shed?? 🤷‍♀️😆

[@rcwant2be]

Not without a chimney through the roof to exhaust the smoke

[@stephanied5460]

Ending a day with Victoria magazine, Tasha Tudor books and tea is perfect no matter where you are. I love your little "light house". In the winter when the snow comes your chandelier casting a glow across that snow at night. A great place for game nights too. If I had a place like that when I homeschooled for sixteen years it quickly would have become the kids clubhouse too. We had a screen porch which acted the same. Sometimes we even set up the tent inside for a reading nook. It was my place for prayer, tea, company and evenings to rest after garden work. In winter it was too cold, but it was for three seasons. We had a bird bath that was nearby so we all enjoyed sitting watching the birds come, even in winter when the sun melted a bit of snow. Enjoy your she-shed. A place for memories.

[@twistedgoats8305]

She shed came out lovely.

[@carmenslee6234]

My potting shed is now in sunken stacked stone cattle yard, built in the 1880s. Such fun, setting it all up! I have a little white wrought iron white outdoor table and chairs in there too! I’m in New Zealand.

[@kimrector8230]

I have a she shed and it's all nautical .so when the winter comes all I think about is the beautiful beach and how nice is going to be to see the blue water the beautiful birds flying and the sand between my toes

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

I’m going to also try and not make winter my enemy ♥️ I love that ♥️

[@eleanorkerby]

also loved that and embracing that view of my winter years on this planet as well

[@mariaciampoli1086]

How beautiful and adorable! It is just perfect!

[@sharonmcmann-morelli4896]

it’s great how you two enjoy life😘😘😘i love the chandelier, hope you had a great winter to enjoy your she shed😘

[@lisafarrow6840]

The chandelier belongs right where you put it, simply beautiful...enjoy!

[@karaashley87]

If you’re not familiar with it already, I highly recommend looking into the Danish concept of Hygge. My family is primarily Danish & Swedish and Hygge is such a huge part of our family culture, and helps us embrace the colds winter months 🥰

[@leatricegulbransen8813]

I never want your videos to end~~~

[@robindavis4843]

Love it! Great job

[@sarahecho]

Saw the addition of a magazine rack, which included an issue of Victoria! Yes!

[@ginafriend1690]

I'm happy you can embrace the winter. I'm not good at it. It gets far too frigid where I live. I have my girl cave in my garage, which is my lounge. I freeze in their too, but Wine helps with that. I Love The Springtime 🌱

[@abbyesmond2136]

"To everything there is a season. Did David Bowie say that?" 😂😂😂 "No, it was Ecclesiastes." I think you were thinking of the song by The Byrds "Turn! Turn! Turn!" Of course this was inspired by Ecclesiastes...☺️

[@pameladecicco6509]

The Sidhe(irish) shed. Perfect. Simple, refined, yet elegant. Bless you and all that enter.🍀❤

[@otherwiseoutside]

add a tea light to the ceramic pots to make a simple cheap heater..

[@lindamills9444]

I think you should call the shed ( The light house ) I would have put down something on the ground for the rug it would help save it from wet and maybe mold from moisture. We all need a get away good ideal.

[@judithryle2113]

I think the whole space will get moldy

[@tracyheath6076]

cool.... I have a greenhouse that in my mind is a place to work etc. This sets a whole new tone. Thank you !

[@lisapieper3598]

Absolutely lovely!

[@kateandres8126]

Love. Love. Love. I was sad when you said she shed send that you wouldn't have your greenhouse anymore. But listening to you and Stu talk about it, it makes sense. I love it. Beautiful space to refill your cup.

[@lauriesickles5393]

So adorable!

[@thuydang5918]

I love that you guys create such a beautiful home stead for your family . I am sure a lot of work, but seem a very rich life you guys have and like the she shed too.

[@Fanouvvi]

I am loving all of the eclectic vintage chairs.. AS IS! Beautiful and Charming, you have a created a cozy shed.

[@judithryle2113]

I don’t find it cozy. It looks cold and with a dirt floor no way

[@rubylu8079]

did not know you knitted, how great...I love to knit.

[@CatCat-lb4gn]

I love this peace ........

[@michaeldemetriou3043]

Lovely she shed 😍 perfect ❤

[@cynthiafisher9907]

This is lovely! You’re inspiring me to do something similar in my greenhouse. I have a lot farther to go to make it beautiful, but I do already have the lights and chandelier! It’s a start!

[@nancywilkes298]

The Shaye Shed! (Did I spell your name right?) 🌱

[@asubstantiallife7557]

That's what I said, too!

[@CatherinesGardenHomeLWS]

Hello! I love the relationship that you have with your children and especially with your eldest daughter. My daughter is my best friend too! She gets closer to me as she is maturing into a beautiful adult. Enjoy every moment!

[@Ellofez]

Aww.. I hope she did not burn her self with the tea . Charming little place very cool . Someday I have to steal this idea but have dark chocolate brown leather smoking chairs more masculine furniture instead of a lemon tree I will have all my cymbidium orchids and a few of my other colder tolerant orchids . Thanks for the inspiration.

[@kathryntrapman3917]

Great video, what a wonderful way to embrace the upcoming winter months ahead by creating a space that will allow you to be at home ,but out of the house. Great job utilizing what you already had. ENJOY!!! 😊

[@michaeldemetriou3043]

Beautiful potting shed.

[@teel5466]

I love your new space and the chandelier is perfect! Enjoy !

[@cicy8167]

What a great place to have some quiet reflective time. Now you just need a little heater in there for the cold winter. There is a tranquil calm it seems in there, Love it.

[@rebeccaulloa7774]

Your video is giving me a better attitude about winter coming

[@revonda5204]

Yippeee!! They're back! Love your videos. It's kinda weird ..but I just love listening to you and Stuart just conversing. It's so evident he's a teacher. I can understand why his students loved him. Hope to see you in your new p l ace with snow all around. Can't wait for the next video....💕💕

I love it! It (the She Shed) looks wonderful. I can't wait to see how new seasons change it!

[@ilzitek2419]

I love your potting she shed. Thank you for this visual treat.

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

It looks beautiful. I'm glad you went with the chandelier, it's the perfect focal point while adding a bit of grandeur and whimsy at the same time. I feel that it is almost a bit Alice in Wonderland, a little bit of magic, a rabbit hole to hide away and have a tea party with the flowers and the bugs. We've had the final days here in the UK that I can sit out and drink my tea while watching the sunset, I'd love something like this to hide from the elements and still enjoy the outdoors. One day.

[@elizabethranstrom6800]

I love it, I envision wonderful times here in the future! It is such a warm lovely space, I’m sure it will change and get even better!

[@DH-qz2so]

Let's not worry too much about the upholstered chair in the potting shed...it was $25 at the thrift store....included the paint can leg! Lol!

[@sherry1674w]

those beets are awesome! love the look of the sheshed and adding the chandelier is awesome....thanks for that.

[@susantaylor8507]

I love it you did good I have a she shed but its falling apart carpenter ants and termites ate my walls but I been wanting a green house but its beautiful I love it this is for you it's your quiet time that's what you need

[@carolinafarmgirl1057]

I have an antique chandelier in my she shed & that same Tasha Tudor book. Great minds think alike!

It's so beautiful!! Really love that it's in a greenhouse! ❤🌻❤

[@ValerieHarristhefoodiemedic]

Oh how funny...what a little coinkydink. I am in the process of revamping my garden / potting shed to a she-shed potting shed. I am swiping some of your ideas lady! Mine will not be a greenhouse though but I am looking forward to my one and only "girly" space. The biggest challenge is going to be damp and rodents since I am on the other side of the Cascades.

[@user-rt1ov4kg1w]

Using a medium rock for a hammer? Definitely a she-shed.lol I could live in that shed! Add a fig tree.

You’re very lucky to have this. I had a dream of a She Shed Potting Shed once upon a time. Unfortunately that dream died but it’s fun to see yours. Thank you for sharing. Theresa

[@paintbrush42]

I'm glad to hear that others are having trouble with "she shed" When we built mine we refused that name and I call it my cottage. That has stuck for many years .

[@debbieriedel9185]

Congratulations on your new potting shed it is so awesome and that chandelier looks perfect

Stu is a very wise husband. Don’t you think it’s charming Stu? Pause. Yes I guess. 6:35 😂😂😂👌🏾 it’s like a cozy comfy grown up dollhouse! I love it! Will eventually need a full recliner of sorts to stretch completely out. Lol ❤️❤️❤️
