Stumbled across this book when I was searching for design ideas for a friend's new home. Now, I'm focused on how I can transform my own shed into a workplace gem!

I was getting ready to build a studio and could find nothing, except this book, to give me any inspiration. This book covers the gamut and got me really excited about planning and designing. It serves it's purpose well, whether you're looking for ideas for new construction or have an existing shed you want to use. And after your space is created, it makes a great coffee table book.

Working from home, corporate downsizing and starting your own business is all daunting. And finding a quite, secure, comfortable place for it is a huge challenge. For those who have outgrown the dining room table this book is an inspiration and a blessing. Alex Johnson has done a great job compiling a wide range of options for "shed working". There has been a lack of books like this to provide such inspiration, creativity and possibility, from the most extravagant to the most austere. Johnson's compilation, commentary and superb photos really gives a great sense of what is possible. This book is perfectly timed and quite valuable for anyone considering working from home!

Having recently built my own small shed/studio, I really enjoyed reading about the experiences of others. This beautiful book offers all sorts of suggestions, inside and out, with inspiring color photos on every page.

It IS a UK book, so some links, products, and details won't apply across the board--you'll still need to research zoning regulations in your own part of the world, for example--but it was a fun read and gave me lots of good ideas.

These creative respites are an inspiration to look at and read about. This is my favorite shed book by far.
