With space in the couple’s home at a premium, a custom-made garden room was the ultimate gift from husband Les, providing Teena with a much-needed sanctuary to do what she loves best.
The Melwood Verandah 15 was the perfect choice. The personalisation process allowed for Teena’s wish for a cute cottage look and craft room feel, fitting seamlessly into the backyard and complementing the main home. Double doors and sidelights allow the internal space to be filled with natural light, filtered from the harshness of the sun by the front verandah.
“We have a small house, and I like arts and crafts, so we decided to look for a free-standing room to solve the problem.”
TEENA
The spacious decked verandah, is also Teena’s favourite place to relax and take a break from her arts. “I eat my lunch on the verandah here at the studio. I love it. It’s inspirational.”
And with all this surrounding inspiration, Teena has been motivated to learn new skills, teaching herself macramé in her dedicated creative studio.
Space and inspiration aren’t the only benefits of this garden studio for Teena and Les.
Grandchildren are regular visitors to the house and Les wanted to give Teena the freedom to enjoy her creative pursuits without worry or fuss. “He said I want to set up your art or sewing without having to pack it up if the grandkids come for dinner,” Teena explains. Now Teena can simply stop mid-project to enjoy that precious family time.
It also means safety for the little ones. With all creative activity taking place in the dedicated craft studio, anything dangerous can be kept securely out of sight and reach. As ‘Grandma’s special room’, the grandkids know to ask permission to come in. So, now they can enjoy doing their own arts and crafts with grandma.
“Everyone that comes to our house says, ‘Oh, you’re so lucky”, and I say ‘You should get one!’! I recommend it to everyone.”
