  • My studio backyard cottage. 4

My Creative Cottage/Studio

My favorite space, my studio/cottage. We built this about 5 years ago and I still love it. Go here for a step by step:

http://backwoodscottage.blogspot.com/2011/...

We spent about $5000 on materials and we did all the work ourselves. This is a fully insulated, electrically wired with plumbing (a sink for washing out my paint brushes) and it is heated, so this is not just a glorified shed. ...»

My husband knows carpentry so it was not difficult for us but he did create a step by step instruction manual for the novice builder. So far there is nothing I would really do differently unless it would be to put in radiant heat in the flooring instead of using a wall heater.

Check with your local building dept, you may have restrictions or regulations on building something like this in your backyard.
