The BEST thing we have bought this year is a greenhouse. We bought a run down greenhouse on Ebay, it was unloved, falling down, a mess. My hubby has toiled hard laying foundation's, paving, sanding, painting, painting and more painting. It's been a labour of love. On chilly days I sit in it with my lunch and when it's too hot to sit inside it I just look at it from my deckchair and it makes me feel happy. Simple things hey! Strung with fairy lights and bunting we have used it for dinner guests too. There has been a great deal of discussion on it's purpose, he wants to fill it will plants, I want a space to sit and feel warm, the debate continues. See my hubby's blog post about it here.

How gorgeous and a real transformation from what it was! I would definitely have it as a tea drinking/book reading/ cosy snug... Oh and I'm loving the work you have been posting recently, the bookpages work so well. x
Yes I'm with you Rebecca on the greenhouse use - it's a lovely place to get away from everything for a few mins, we all need that don't we ; ) - I'm really loving working on the books thanks for the encouragement sometimes is difficult to see if what you doing is working - I LOVE seeing what you are doing too. Thanks for taking the time to comment x
That greenhouse is lovely Steph. It looks all heritage with that cream paint. Really love the wooden structure. Maybe it's because it's so beautiful that there's a debate. Ours is a real old man's greenhouse, which looks much enhanced by as much foliage as we can stuff in it to disguise its inherent ugliness. Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and chilis have their own charm. xxx
Oh Yes Tan - lots of lovely fruit and veg sure does make a greenhouse extra special. Maybe next year we'll have nice stuff in it and a little space for me to sit amoungst the greenery, best of both world I reckon. x PS: The debate on the colour of the wood was ridiculous, will bore you with the story when I see you x
