Outbuilding of the Week: Artemis Russell’s Tiny Garden Shed

December 30, 2014

Until I convince my landlord to let me to install a tiny workshop on the roof of my building in Brooklyn, I’m satisfied to ogle photographs of other people’s garden work spaces and cultivate a perfect vision for my someday space.

Artemis Russell is the collector behind the blog and online shop Junkaholique and the designer at Rust, the London-based jewelry company she runs with her husband, Nao. Her tiny garden shed is one of the best I’ve seen. The endlessly talented Artemis not only designs jewelry, she also keeps busy sewing and knitting in her workshop, which she’s furnished with a sewing table, chair, and shelves to store her tools and treasures. 

The modest 4-by-6-foot wooden shed has been rebuilt three times (you can see an earlier iteration of the shed here). That’s because it has moved from one rental home garden to the next, to finally land behind the house Artemis and Nao recently purchased on the Isle of Wight as a home for them and their young daughter, Pehr.
