Plant stylist Emma Sadie Thomson looked every day at the unused shed outside the entrance to the home where she lived with her partner and their two young daughters in the Adelaide Hills. Could it be a better place to work than the kitchen table, where her children and housework provided constant distractions?
“It was just a junk heap,” says Thomson. “We never used it. I wanted somewhere to go, even if it’s taking 20 steps, rather than sitting on the kitchen table.” She decided to convert the shed into a studio. Aiming to spend no more than $10,000, Thomson opted for recycled materials for the windows, door, and wood exterior panelling.
