WHAT IS CALIFORNIA SHED STYLE?

For all of you that have asked-

WHAT IS CALIFORNIA SHED STYLE?

It might be called something different

in a different area.

Here, it is a late 1960's/1970's style

that has a rustic exterior with a

more modern interior.

It has a slanted roof in the back

and soaring ceilings inside,

usually with a loft (open or semi open).

I am attaching pictures

front and back so you can

see what I am talking about.

People either love the style

or hate it.

LOL- Guess I am an

OLD HIPPY 

at heart 

(although I never lived like a hippy-

too much of a chicken-lol).

because

I like the style.

I have lived in traditional,

coastal, Florida style,

colonial, two story,

ranch style & modern-

but nothing like this.

I will keep posting pictures

as we go along.

All changes will be interior

because we have to abide by

condo rules to not change 

"the look" from the exterior.

Front-We have a lofted area-

each unit to the side is a single story.

Our main living area,

including 2 bedrooms/2 baths,

is on the main floor.

The big windows upstairs overlook

the river one street over,

and that is where my sewing/craft area

will be---whoo hoooo---

finally a place of my own.

I have never had a dedicated space

like this before.

There were always kids, etc.,

to think about and contend with.

Back-

Units are staggered so we will

not see our side-by-side neighbors

unless we chose to do so.

Upper windows are in the loft area

where there is 3rd bedroom/bath

in case we need live-in care at some point.

Hopefully not-but life 

throws things at us sometimes

that we don't expect.

So...here ya go---

There you have it, kids.

Be back with more soon!

I know y'all are dying to see the inside.

Did I say DYING?

Remember...there is a graveyard

right behind us...

and I have a shovel if needed!
