This terrific shed conversion created a comfortable and spacious sewing studio with French doors, a changing area and separate storage.

The project
We turned our backyard shed into a sewing work studio with a storage area in the back.




We put insulation in the walls and ceiling.

We put cladding on the walls and Gyprock on the ceiling, painted the beams, walls, ceiling and concrete floor.

We pulled the roller door off and put in French doors.


We pulled the side door off and put a window in.

We put in new light fittings and airconditioning, put up curtains for a change room and a wall of curtains to section off the back for storage.
