These Prefab Studios are an Easy and Novel Way to Add Space to Your Home

Let’s say you’ve recently bought a house. Congratulations! Hopefully, you’ve found the place of your dreams and it comes with a backyard. You may not have quite figured out what to do with it yet; basic grass seems too plain, but you don’t want a massive water feature either.

If you’re looking to add a room or extend the space of your home, consider this novel Australian option: Inoutside.

The company prefabricates miniature structures with high design and maximum functionality that fall somewhere between workshop and tiny house. Some of the layouts are even ideal for small rentals or AirBnBs.

Inoutside has three distinctive designs to choose from, with a fourth option to customize your own. The first is the Cooba, which has a wide front glass door for plenty of natural light and could work well as an artist studio.

The second is the Kamaroo, which could become your new man cave, or even a small gym. Front-facing slider doors open up your space to the world with plenty of air circulation. This could also be home to an indoor bar that makes the most of a combined patio area.

Lastly, the Mallee: the biggest of the designs, which could suit the musician or librarian. It features a recessed wall nook for a bookcase or gear setup, giving you the best-looking workshop on the block. Although it’s offered in floor plans as small as 3 feet by 3 feet, the Mallee really benefits from having a bigger open space to unwind and sink into whatever hobbies you have. The largest options is 7 feet by 5 feet.

Inoutside prefabs start at around $11,500 (before taxes and transportation fees), but are a slick, handsome addition if you’re looking for something unique. We suggest adding some extra budget for customizing, because once you get into building your own private haven, the sky’s the limit.

The Righteous Gemstones season 4: Everything we know so far
The uncouth dark comedy returns for one more final season
Danny McBride

Although almost every HBO show gets plenty of attention and critical acclaim, The Righteous Gemstones doesn't seem to have gotten the popularity or recognition it deserves. The show is a daring, unique, and unsuppressed satire of religion, televangelism, and the effects of cultism in the U.S. Eli Gemstone is the patriarch of the Gemstone family. His misadventures with his children are a hilarious critique of the immorality of religious leaders and the dirty money that's involved in leading a megachurch or any sort of large-scale religious operation.

The series manages to keep everything lighthearted despite the serious topics it satirizes, something that is a true touchstone of some of the best dark comedies in the history of television. We are so excited for The Righteous Gemstones to return for its fourth and final season on HBO and Max, and the premiere is right around the corner. Here is everything we know about The Righteous Gemstones season 4, from the returning cast members to shows you should watch in the meantime and the release date of the final season.

Marvel's head of TV also expressed interest in returning to Hawkeye.
The cast of Agatha All Along

Although the series was centered on a supporting character from WandaVision, Agatha All Along quickly became one of the more successful Marvel shows following its premiere in 2024. The show was so successful, in fact, that according to reporting in Entertainment Weekly, the studio is eager to make another season, but doesn't want to rush into production.

Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation for Marvel told the magazine that he was intrigued by the possibility of bringing the show back. "A show like Agatha, to me, is concept based. Yes, a second season for sure is something that we would want to do, but let's not rush it. Let's get the right idea and then make it," he said.

Greta Gerwig might be planning to adapt every ‘Narnia’ book

Greta Gerwig directing Barbie.

Following up on the success of Barbie, Greta Gerwig could have made basically whatever she wanted. It's telling, then, that she decided to dive head first into an adaptation of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. Now, following the news that Gerwig's adaptation will be released exclusively in IMAX theaters for at least two weeks before it hits theaters, IMAX CEO Richard Gelfond has suggested that Netflix might be planning to adapt all eight of Lewis's novels.

"This was a really great movie [for us] because I think there are like eight movies planned … and what Imax does best is launch franchises and launch events, [and] this is the kind of movie that is very conducive to an Imax release. It’s also not as unusual as you think," Gelfond said in an interview with Deadline.
