13 Prefab Sheds Transformed into Guest Houses, Home Offices, and Man Caves

Heather ChaEditor

Leaving a shed unutilized in your backyard is a crime against the DIY community! Sure, they make a great storage vessel for rakes and gardening supplies, but the era of basic sheds is over. With the right additions and renovations, your shed can become a home office, a music studio, and whatever else your creativity can dream up.

As a sort of response to the man cave trend, “she sheds” started popping up everywhere. Sheds undergo makeovers to become a sort of haven for the women of the house.

But here at Yahoo Makers, we want everyone to jump on this movement and make the most of your shed.
