Play pod cube makeover - Simple But Effective - Cambridgeshire #shedoftheyear owned by Sheddie Neema Young
The play pod has had a makeover from 2014 when it was built, it has been repurposed in such a way children can now chill; an adult can sleep in the sofa bed, office space for someone to work on the side, adults can sit and enjoy the fire during chilly evenings and nights.
We posted this shed when the children were small (ED: 2016) and now years later my husband, father-in-law and friend who helped with electrics have had a part to make it a pleasant space in the garden.
Though, the work is not yet finished, this is a sneak of how it looks like now. The children's raised platform, and connecting hole to the arbour that had a day bed were all removed.
Walls have been insulated, electricity installed, our friends floorboards have been repurposed and form part of the wall and floor, a piece of an old boat from Isle of Tiree where my husband did his sabbatical has been made into little wall shelves, the door in the middle now has toughened glass. Feels cosy after the insulation and looking forward to enjoying the space.

Art studio - Workshop/Studio - Ceredigion #shedoftheyear owned by Sheddie Sharron Johnson
"My art studio is based upon the concept of Versailles and a treasure box. I have made my own mini version of a grand palace as my work space.
The building was constructed by my husband using as much of recycled materials and locally sourced as much as possible. Such as windows, flooring, sink and spare pieces lying around.
The interior decor, curtains, pelmets, plaster work is all handmade by myself. Excluding door pelmet.
The animals are all based upon the fauna present in our local environment. The pictures are a working progress and I am continually adding to them. I imagine it will take a number of years to complete."
