A healing place
It's more than just a place for plants: For Sheila McConnell, the little shed in her backyard in Bellevue, Washington, became
a quiet, healing room where she recovered from breast cancer. "Out here I don't get caught up in the pace of life," she says.
The handsome retreat was designed and built by stepson Andy McConnell, who heads his own garden-carpentry firm in Seattle.
"It started off as a toolshed and then it just blossomed," he says. Instead of lawn mowers, the 8- by 12-foot structure houses
books, a TV and stereo, and an L-shaped counter for orchids and crafts projects.
