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.

Lloyd Kahn's latest book--Tiny Homes: Simple Shelters--we're IN it!



I remember Lloyd's earlier books from the Whole Earth Catalog days and beyond...I still OWN a couple of first editions!  When he asked if I'd be interested in sharing the shed in his latest project, "no" wasn't even an option.

Click the link above to see much, much more, or pre-order it...I got my contributor's copies yesterday, and it's WONDERFUL.  1300+ photos of delightful dwellings, sheds, boats, wagons and more...

Here's the shed's spread...


the south wall as it looked when I sent in the photos...
And a year later...it's filled up a tad, with books, art supplies, storage and such...

New table...

I'd been doing my videos in front of the big French windows at the shed, which worked great...except I was doing them on a folding TV table.  My sweet Joseph just built me a terrific folding table that's still small enough to fit in well in the 10 x 10' space, will fold completely out of the way if we need to, but is big enough to spread out my art supplies!


Planning and constructing...
The hinge for the legs...

Putting it all together...

Painting the legs...

And here it is at work!
