The finishing touches are what makes a room, lighting is a very important element to create the right ambiance. Our lighting is creative and are usually made from reclaimed upcycled materials. We have created lights from old blow torches, bottles, vintage colanders, old Jacob Cracker tins and vintage jelly molds. We are always looking for new ways to create interesting light. See examples of our lighting ideas below in the image gallery.
A client asked us to revamp their old Summer House so they could use it as an art studio. The framework is made out of old oak. the front is cladded in oak feather board and the doors are 1940’s which came from a school. The underside of the roof and flooring are made from reclaimed floor boards. Please visit the gallery to see the before and after.
This has been our largest Shepherd Hut build to date measuring 16ft x 8ft, we constructed the hut onsite in Hove, East Sussex. Due to the client wishing to keep to garden development specifications, we decided to make this hut without wheels to keep it under the height restriction. This then allowed us the opportunity to build a large veranda which runs the length of the hut. Thus creating a great inside outside space, where you can enjoy your garden all year round.

Jay Shepherd Hut is used as a spare bedroom and alternative office space measuring 15ft x 7ft in Coopers Green, East Sussex.

This hut has some lovely upcylced features, the high bed and bench area is made from vintage dark oak paneling. The pull out dining room table and office desk is made from a reclaimed mahogany science counter from Brighton, East Sussex. The stained glass window pelmet and other wooden brackets are made from an old foot pump from a bellow organ.
This Shepherd hut was for a client that originally wanted a room in the roof for an extra bedroom. The clients saw the signage on our works van and looked at the website. They were happily surprised that the cost was much cheaper than having a room in the roof and were delighted that they could have it in their small but beautiful garden. It is something delightful to look at and to enhance their surroundings, enjoying their garden all year round. This hut is used as a spare bedroom for guests and office measuring 14ft x 7ft.
