PLANNING A PARTY?
PUT KINGS’ KORNER CATERING IN YOUR CORNER By Steve Cook
A
re you planning a family reunion, a company picnic or even a wedding reception? Whatever you’re planning and wherever you may be planning to hold it, Dickie King of Kings Korner Catering can ensure that yours will be an affair to remember. Dickie has been catering weddings and other private functions for over 34 years. “We’ve done over 1,400 events,” he says. Now, you may know King’s Korner as being one of the best places to go around these parts for delicious barbecue. But suppose barbecue is not what you want on the menu. No problem. “Our barbecue accounts for only about 40-percent of our business,” Dickie says. “We can do it all. Everything from stirfry and crab cake stations to pasta and carving stations.”

With their mobile kitchens, they’re certified to do any and all prep work right on site. They even have their own Virginia Caterers ABC License, which means they can handle all of your bar needs, too. “We cater any size function,” Dickie says, “from 2 to 2,000. Actually, we’ve catered groups of 5,000 or more.” King’s Korner is the exclusive Central Virginia caterer for David’s Bridal, the largest American bridal-store chain and they do all the catering for the Old Dominion Barn Dance, too. It all starts with a phone call to Dickie at King’s Korner Catering. First, he’ll determine the size of your group and the sort of menu that you’re looking for. With over 20,000 items from which to choose, you can be assured that there’s plenty that you and your guests are going to love, regardless of your budget. Dickie will then prepare a personalized written proposal. That’s really all there is to it. You don’t even need to worry about any of the extras, you know, such things as tents, tables and chairs. King’s Korner can take care of everything, including providing the staffing that you’ll need to ensure that the entire event goes off without a hitch. Whatever the shindig that you have in mind, you’ll be cool, calm and comfortable knowing that King’s Korner Catering is in your corner.

SHE SAID,“SHE SHED” by Steve Cook
T
he ladies have spoken. The days of the drab tool shed sitting out in the backyard are gone. Mark Longenecker, with Sheds Unlimited in Pennsylvania explains, “The designs of our buildings have proven to be so popular with women that some men order a shed for their backyard as a storage building and after it arrives, their wives don’t want to let them use the shed for storage anymore.” Yes, it’s time to shed any previously held notions or conceptions you may have. Take a look and see just some of the creative ways that today’s designing women are using their she sheds. Having your very own she shed is relatively simple. Deciding just how you want to use it, may take a little planning and imagination. There are virtually no limits to the myriads of uses and styles that you may desire. For inspiration, search “she sheds” online. You’ll find dozens of Pinterest pages offering a variety of inspiring images. Your “Google” search will also turn up plenty of additional websites where you will discover some she shed ideas that you may never have considered. We were especially impressed with Donna Jenkins shed, which she calls “The Hobby House.” Donna’s shed was built for her own personal use. “I didn’t have any inspiration to speak of,” she says. “I literally just laid out my doors and decided how they went together. It sort of happened organically. I did all of the construction myself. My husband helped me with the four corners — getting the posts in the ground, true and straight and then again with the rafters. I personally did everything else myself with the millwork we had accumulated during our homes renovations.”

Donna will be debuting her own website/online store (TinkerHouseTradingCompany.com) in mid-July. She says, “I have been gathering artisan made wares that are inspired by a life in the garden. I have been focused on small American companies and cottage industries. We will also be hosting workshops and events to teach everything from flower arranging, paper flower arts and other similar things.” Another website that offered inspiration is Kelly Morse’s MontanaHappy.com, which epitomizes the beauty of “Life Made Simple.” On her site, Kelly shares a pair of sheds that she discovered while on a garden tour. “The garden alone was so beautiful,” she says, “but when I saw the pair of she sheds it was pure magic.” If you’ve got the ideas but not the know-how to build your very own shed, there are local builders who specialize in that sort of thing. James Sweeney of River City Enterprises (804310-1661) says, “Virtually, our only limitation is your imagination.” In other words, you dream it up, he can make it a reality. He says that you could even turn your shed into a “stone” cottage using a manufactured stone application. Longenecker (quoted previously) says that his Pennsylvania-based Sheds Unlimited
(ShedsUnlimited.net), which delivers into the Richmond market, can provide the shells and the homeowner can do the conversion of the interior or hire a contractor to personalize their shed. “We have had customers convert modern sheds into art studios, recording studios, guest houses and more,” he says. His company also manufacturers “sheds” specifically designed to be used as pool houses. While VPC Builders, a full-service construction firm specializing in commercial and residential construction, custom home building, Green Building, and remodeling, primarily serves residents in North Carolina and South Carolina, we found a lot of inspiration in their images showcasing one of their projects. Jake Smith, project Photo: VPCBuilders.com manager for VPC, says, “The communities in our area are home to a lot of clients that are outdoor-minded people. We get asked a lot to build small, outdoor buildings so that homeowners can pursue their hobbies while still getting to enjoy being outside. The garden shed that we completed for this homeowner was exactly that; we matched the style to the main house and gave her enough space to enjoy working outside while staying out of the elements.” Now, put your imagination to work. Why settle for an uninspiring tool shed filled with nothing more than a lawn mower, a rake and a thousand other things that you just can’t bring yourself to throw out, when you can have your own private office, a guest house, a reading room, a writing nook, a sewing room, and yes, if you dress it up just right, your “she” shed could easily become a man-cave.
