  • 1st Place
    urban studio garden shed home studio photo contest winners Summerwood ID Number 241754

    12' Monterey
    - Pike Road, Alabama
    What more is there to say about this picture? This stunning Monterey is truly something out of a fairly tale. The property is incredible on its own, but this private gazebo island takes it all to another level. Romantic, elegant, and the runaway winner of our 2019 photo contest.

    Quintessential cottage charm at its finest! The autumn backdrop is a perfect setting for the traditional charm of the Bala Bunkie. It’s perfect for extra cottage spillover, a space for the kids or a private area to unwind.

  • 3rd Place
    catalin garden shed photo contest winners Summerwood ID Number 256628

    8' Catalina
    Houston, Texas
    As seen here, the Catalina integrates itself beautifully into the surrounding garden and landscaping. With its 5-sided footprint, the Catalina is perfect for tricky corner lot placements. It accentuates the surrounding garden as much as it stands out on its own with its painted trim and cedar shingles.
