Debra…I just saw you and Bill Wright, shed photographer extraordinaire, on our Austin Texas PBS station KLRU’s Central Texas Gardener. The host Tom Spencer was talking with you about THE shed book. You two looked so relaxed. If those photographs don’t turn more people into “shedinistas” nothing will. Or at least they’ll buy the book and dream.

Also, in this week’s The Austin Chronicle is a special section SPACES with Bill Wright’s gorgeous color photo of our Mod Pod shed taking up almost the entire front cover. Inside is an article by Richard Whitaker about our modern Texas shed with more of Bill’s photos.

And if that was not enough, also in SPACES is a glowing review of Stylish Sheds and Elegant Hideaways. I think the shed state of mind is catching on.

[...] Greenhouse Office: If you’re going to get the opportunity to have your office in a lush back garden, why not create a shed design that’s going to actually allow you to see that scenery? If you’re not just renovating an existing garden shed but rather building a new shed-like office on the property, you can go all out creating a space like this greenhouse office. It’s a design that celebrates nature and makes work a lot more relaxing. [...]

Ironically, I am created a much more conventional shed in my East Austin backyard. It will serve all of the functions that Loretta’s does – but maybe it won’t take me nine months to complete. If anyone is interested in seeing a version of it, “Google” Edgar Blazona – -this guy is great – with a good line and brevity of form. I purchased plans for the 10×10 structure (available at readymade.com). I will however, make it a bit larger in one dimension and undoubtably add my own tweaks. Hmmm…I’m thinking two of them facing each other, connected by a bridge…and of course, water running underneath them. Sorry – you’ll have to wait until it’s in the newspaper, TV, or Debra’s next book to see it! Ha ha. (Wait, I’m being serious.)

If anyone wants to have alot of fun all you have to do is be included in a book project with Debra Prinzing and William Wright.

Sure we sweated during the photo session moving plants around to get the great shots. This is Texas and it is hot. But after the heavy lifting was done there is always laughter and cold beer.

But the big applause goes to my brother, Harrison Bates. Would I have met these wonderful people if he had built that first shed design he drew on the pink post-it note? I love the Mod Pod!
