She Shack

Chairish asked if I would curate a collection inspired by my very own woman cave. Naturally, I leapt at the invitation. But rather than a dim room tucked in the corner of our home, I envisioned a ‘She Shack’: a one story, one room, thatched structure a few steps from the beach. After all, it’s a romantic, not entirely realistic idea my husband and I’ve casually toyed with. I can see it now, creating a modest spot of refuge from the burning sun, where a moment, or even a better part of the day could be enjoyed with a chilled libation in hand; what I can’t see however is being able to keep the husband, and eventually children, out.
