Apartment Therapy Re-Nest recently ran a great little piece on famous writers' writing sheds and huts. It is so neat to see the little retreats they tucked themselves away in to scratch out their work. Forget a room of one's own - I want a little "genius-is-burning!" hut of my own!
[Roald Dahl's writing shed, which he called The Gipsy House]
[George Bernard Shaw outside his writing shed]
[The interior of Dylan Thomas' writing shed]
Some commenters also recommended Neil Gaiman's gazebo, which is gorgeous:
and Christopher Morley's cabin, the Knothole:
I WANT ONE!! Dylan Thomas's is my fave. Wish I could see the inside of Dahl's!
ReplyDeleteBut you can! If you go to the original article (http://www.re-nest.com/re-nest/email/famous-writers-small-writing-sheds-and-offthegrid-huts-140587?image_id=2275704), there's a shot of the interior, and of some of the other sheds. :)
ReplyDeleteOh cool! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous - I love Dylan Thomas's as well, and at first I thought Neil Gaiman's was a treehouse which would have made it even better (though looks pretty cool as is). I always imagined writers sitting at some desk in a little room, not out in artistic retreats like these.
