- 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... ;)
It's a Life Shed. :) And a lovely one at that.
The Elliott Homestead she shed In Winter, Potting shed in the nice weather.
The Elliott Homestead Shaylerium (Shaye’s solarium 😉)
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
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.
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.
Propping the chair up with a pail, hammering with a rock - classic! Beautiful space
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

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.
@@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.

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.
So beautifully stated . Thank you .
When my son was maybe seven or eight, we used to have full on tea parties. I would make fancy treats, pots of tea and use my best china. We would get all dressed up and it was really quite magical. He stills remembers it and he is 38 years old. Your daughter will never forget the she shed tea sessions. Not ever. ☮️💕
So charming! I can even imagine a little Christmas tree in there with twinkling lights!
What a beautiful addition to the farm. So cozy and inviting. A little get away, yet still at home. Perfect.
Loved seeing the precious moment with your daughter! You are such a beautiful example of a mother!
Just stunning! I just told my bf I wanted to replace my shed walls and ceiling with clear... I can't wait til spring! 😍😍😍
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`
Oh! A woman after my own heart! You love ‘making home’, just like me!
Your videos make me so comfortable, so relaxed. Thank you for what you do 🙂
LOVE IT!!!
Every woman needs a "She Shed".
A quiet place that is warm, cozy, and peaceful.
I will be thinking of you this winter while I am in Maine enjoying each snowflake that falls, while you are in your "She Shed" making your winter a joy filled season.
Hugs from Maine.
Love this project. So special to share it with your daughter too. 😊
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 🌞
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
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 :)
I even feel that fragrance!So beautifully said🤗
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...
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
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
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.
I loved everything about this video! It is totally charming and heartwarming. I saw you take a deep breath while sitting in your she shed at the end and that perfectly summed it up. (Glorious chandelier! 💕💕💕)
You are a modern day Tasha Tudor. Love your sanctuary xo
Looks super sweet! Explore. Period. Whatever God lays on your heart. Keep on fighting the good fight!!
Just so cozy and comfortable. A place to get away, and still be home. Enjoy!
That's my hope! Think I can pipe an espresso machine in?
Yes and how about The Shaye Shack!🤣
When Fall comes and winter is close behind.....I feel a sense of warmth that the Spring and Summer seasons don’t give me. Fall is probably my favorite season, but they all have special qualities to embrace, because God gave them all to us as gifts from Him to be blessings in our lives ❤️🙏❤️🙏
So beautifully said🤗
You are such an inspiration, Shaye Elliot, thank you.
Oh this is precious ---- I probably would go for a little heater or stove; but I can see the family gathered on Thanksgiving eve or Christmas eve drinking warm cozy drinks and reading Bible passages about gratitude or reading the night before Christmas. This is a great idea --- so cozy and glowing. Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and yours.
I'm hoping a heater will keep it warm enough that we stay comfortable in the winter. It's definitely not "air tight" but that can be refreshing... to a certain temperature...
Looks cold to me
Just seeing this segment. My husband spanned the generations this spring and finished a greenhouse that his father layed the foundation for when our babies were small. I've had a dream of a completed greenhouse, and my husband, and I to a certain extent, made that dream a reality. Looking for decorating ideas, I came upon your she shed video. It truly feeds the soul. So with a servant heart, my husband has tomorrow planned... To go yardsale ing, looking for pieces to fit out the greenhouse.
I love it! and to share it with your Daughter is so special! Joyce
it’s great how you two enjoy life😘😘😘i love the chandelier, hope you had a great winter to enjoy your she shed😘
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
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!
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.
I love this! You have such style! Really loved the girls' tea! I can see it now, in the future, "has anyone seen Mom? Well......the light's on in the shed!" You've created a wonderful space!
A copy of Larkwise to Candleford tucked in with your books would I think, delight you and your daughter. This brought back wonderful memories of my daughter and I tucked in a cosy space amidst the grapevines, swinging in hammocks and reading books. Just a lovely she shed you have created and yes, the chandelier is perfection.
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.
I feel like I'm listening to a podcast, but yet watching a video of your words come to life. It's brilliant 💗
😀hi from Scotland hi what a magical place to go snuggle up to in winter it's so beautiful I just love your shabby chic style your wee girl is so like you have to have her come and sit and chat with you by the way I love your tartan wrap you have around your shoulders so Scottish I wish you and your lovely family all the very best and look forward to your next vidio stay safe take care Anne Scott from Scotland ❄❄☁☁☔
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
Love it!! Now you just need a little wood burning chiminea for some extra warmth. Can you do that in a shed?? 🤷♀️😆
Not without a chimney through the roof to exhaust the smoke
Nicely done. Love how you all worked together making a special place for you to take care of you. This will be a calming, uplifting place to meditate on scripture, pray, and just hang out. Loved the sweet, giggly tea party. 👍
Thank you.
This is everything I never knew I wanted!!
~ 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.
What is the brand name of the chandelier? It’s beautiful!
Beautiful , simple, but elegant mixed with rustic magic! Great place to dream!!! Enjoy!
I love the marriage between the two!
Btw!! Enjoy your cookbooks.
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 🌱
You really need a SHE HAMMER. You were really rockin'.
How beautiful and adorable! It is just perfect!
The chandelier belongs right where you put it, simply beautiful...enjoy!
Saw the addition of a magazine rack, which included an issue of Victoria! Yes!
Oh, I miss my Victoria magazines and reading about Tasha Tudor. I had to let go of a lot of things when I moved to Europe. Love your video. Everything is so beautiful!
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 🥰
Oh my! 😍 I have never wanted a she-shed until this moment! What a beautiful way to use that concept ❤️ I am now adding this to my wishlist for our someday-homestead 💜💜
I love being inspired and you definitely do that for me. Lovely space. Who says I can’t be inspired at 61 years young. Love your videos.
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.
add a tea light to the ceramic pots to make a simple cheap heater..
She shed came out lovely.
I never want your videos to end~~~
Mothers always work soo hard, you deserve a break. Beautiful and tasteful decor especially the chandler. Shalom and Godspeed, sisters, and the Elliot family
cool.... I have a greenhouse that in my mind is a place to work etc. This sets a whole new tone. Thank you !
"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...☺️
You made it beautiful!! It’s so cozy! Good for you 👏👏💕🍁🍁
It’s gorgeous!! Every woman deserves a space of their own to dream!
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.
BEAUTIFUL greenhouse, beautiful video.
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 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.
I think the whole space will get moldy
Love it! Great job
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!
The Sidhe(irish) shed. Perfect. Simple, refined, yet elegant. Bless you and all that enter.🍀❤
did not know you knitted, how great...I love to knit.
I’m going to also try and not make winter my enemy ♥️ I love that ♥️
also loved that and embracing that view of my winter years on this planet as well
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.
I just wonder as I'm looking at what you've just created what it would be like to look at things thru your eyes! I admire people who can Invision things before they are created. My son is very much like that and incredably talented. Thank you for sharing.
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.
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.
The Shaye Shed! (Did I spell your name right?) 🌱
That's what I said, too!
This is the best She she's ever, it's so beautiful...i love the chandelier. I love the ways you decorated it..it just famtastic.
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!!! 😊
I have an antique chandelier in my she shed & that same Tasha Tudor book. Great minds think alike!
Lovely she shed 😍 perfect ❤
I love your new space and the chandelier is perfect! Enjoy !
I love the chandelier look sou nice and she shed good idea .
Beautiful and cosy!
I love everything about this. Your rock hammer. Your beautiful lights and the special moments with family. What's a peacefully place to have. Thank you for sharing. I will never give up on my dream of having something like this one day.
What a beautiful idea!!
Absolutely lovely!
Gorgeous she shed, i need to embrace winter also, Thanks for the reminder.
Such a sweet place. You are amazing! Here's to a lovely winter!
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
Oooh, I understand winter being my enemy. I just have to stay positive and take one day at a time. Thankful for each day, but keep my desire for spring to return real joy. Your she-shed is truly charming.
I am loving all of the eclectic vintage chairs.. AS IS! Beautiful and Charming, you have a created a cozy shed.
I don’t find it cozy. It looks cold and with a dirt floor no way
Beautiful potting shed.
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.
So adorable!
Love your She-Shed!
my goodness how lovely. thnx so much for sharing
LOVE this video! Are you able to do an updated tour of your she shed? Blessings to you & your family!
Good idea.
@@theelliotthomestead YAY....SO, SO, SO EXCITED!!!
Using a medium rock for a hammer? Definitely a she-shed.lol I could live in that shed! Add a fig tree.
learn to skiiiiiiii.....I promise....you'll look forward to the snowy cozy winters!!!
I love your peaceful voices and videos. Keep on keeping on and may our Lord bless your family.
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!
OMG, CS Lewis too? Amazing!
