Heart of the Home Gathering to prepare and consume savory meals (and leftovers!) with family and friends is an important part of Thanksgiving. My ideal space for such rituals would be a large open kitchen-dining room with ample counters for more than one cook, and tall windows on at least two sides to suffuse the room with daylight. (Unfortunately my...

An interesting post by Fraser at cabin-living where he says that requests in the UK are starting to rise for cabins under 2.5m high. He continues: "As we suspected the planning rules are starting to affect those people who do not wish to place a cabin away from a boundary. At the moment we have two solutions. On site modification during our installation process or a bespoke range of 44mm thick walled cabins that can be made to your specification." Interestingly, he adds that demand is still strong despite all the doom and gloom around because, as he points out, the combination of commuting costs and a stagnant housing market makes the opportunity to be a shedworker very tempting indeed.

It's time for a new regular Friday feature and it's going to be the cannily-titled Friday Shed Art after the fine response we received to last week's oil painting (for previous posts on art and shedworking, click here ). We're starting with Sarah Lynch whose blog is used to display her daily sketches, watercolours or oils (she very modestly says that sometimes they aren't very good but I think they're great). All are quite small and most are for sale via the blog or her Etsy site and Imagekind site . Above is Shed with Hollyhocks and for a selection of her work focusing on sheds click here .

Above is an example of how it works in a home office environment. The package also includes bookshelves, bed, seats, storage and wardrobe. Thanks to Eva Johannson for the tip
