In case you were wondering...

This blog exists to encourage all those who have ever wanted--and needed!--a tiny getaway close to home. A workshop, playhouse, garden shed, sanctuary, mini-greenhouse, studio, home office; whatever it is you need, it IS doable, with some sacrifice, imagination, and compromise.

It helps if you're handy, too.

It didn't rain!

Wow, rafters. It's really taking shape!


This is the view from the South, looking toward the back yard.


We found the neat old window at the flea market in town today...it'll be next to the door.
It needs work, as does the door, but hey, J's handy!

It was wet this morning, but Mark came before noon and got a LOT more done. He'd stopped by yesterday and done some on rafter placement and angles, and then today--worked like gangbusters!

As always, you make design changes and decisions as you go along...the outdoor storage extends further and the deck is shallower than I'd originally imagined, so there won't be a bench there, but that's OK. More privacy, actually...

  1. Well you can still pull a chair or two out there if you want to take an outdoor break.

  2. Yep, no problem. The deck is quite a bit smaller than I'd originally imagined, but then we added 2' to the shed itself! Don't want to have a deck in the alley...

  4. Isn't it nifty? It's just for light, of course, but it's right next to the door with the glass in it, so that's fine.

  5. It's coming along nicely, Kate! Love the old window.

  6. Me too, Krista, thanks! It needs work, of course--the glass is about to come out of the frame, but none of it's broken...

  7. You'll probably appreciate more room inside than outside in the long run--especially in the winter. ;) Love the window! I hope it can be tightened into the frame without any breakage--it's lovely! :)
