Oooh, a new shed and cabin blog...and PROGRESS at MY shed...
Look what I found! Yummy...http://thecoopercabin.blogspot.com/2012/10/san-juan-island-cabin-by-david.html
Actually, I'm just bookmarking the whole blog, it's delicious! http://thecoopercabin.blogspot.com/
Meanwhile, I'm still writing and illustrating art classes and shooting videos at my beloved shed...and thanks to my friend Marc Taro Holmes of Citizen Sketcher (DO check out his blog if you like sketching and watercolor!). He suggested this multi-arm that will suspend the camera over the table out of my way (HOORAY) so I can shoot better and more comfortable videos! No more reaching around the tripod.
Now all I have to do is solve the lighting problem...next up!

The new mini-class is finished and up on my website, on Ink & Watercolor...and life continues busy but grand!

Prefab Sheds...
I'm VERY glad we've got what we have...I love my handmade shed and find that it works better all the time. We spend a lot of time out there; working there is a pleasure.
And as longtime readers of this blog know, I started it to encourage others who need a similar place--for work, peace, studio, meditation, workshop, yoga, writing, whatever--to GO for it. I haven't regretted it for a moment.
These garden sheds at Home Depot reminded me of one of the possibilities we considered, a prefab. You could customize and finish it however you wanted to, and have it delivered to your site. (And of course the links in the sidebar contain quite a few options of this type...) These range between a bit over $2000 to over $4000, but there are a lot of options out there, both higher and lower. We pass a garden-shed place every time we go over to Independence to hit the big Costco. Even our local lumberyard offers a few models...

More new links at left...
...if you had to go prefab, and didn't have the option of starting from scratch, you might look at the Summerwood Designs offerings. COOL designs, lots of light. More expensive than the Shed of Reality, but still...prefab is quick and a lot more stress-free, I'm guessing. Summerwood even offers 3D tours...fun!
Is this little Arkansas studio cute or what, though...??
Here's the company our friend, artist Laura Gould like: Homestead Structures.

Garden shed inspirations...
Two of my favorite you-can-do-it inspirations; Lester Walker's Tiny (Tiny) Houses is the oldest. I've owned this top one for 30 years, I think. It was largely what inspired my cabin in the woods...the architect's cabin was just SO right.
Here's how my own version, a bit larger and with more windows--all recycled!--turned out...it's 20 years old, and unfortunately popular with the neighborhood vandals, out in the country.

I found this book at Lowe's a couple of years ago...very nifty, too. You can see both of them in the sidebar at right...
