Idea Shop 2000
Our Idea Shop 2000 occupies a 12x20' building connected to the garage by a covered portico. The shop's 9' ceiling has three powered, venting skylights, each operated electronically. Those, plus four windows, French doors, and a pastel color scheme add natural light and a sense of spaciousness in what otherwise might feel like tight quarters.

When Better Homes & Gardens magazine editors began planning to build their Blueprint 2000 model home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, they wanted a woodworking shop to go with it. And WOOD® magazine was glad to help out. Here's the shop we came up with. We call it IDEA SHOP 2000 because it has the high-tech features you'd expect in the new millennium.
