GREENHOUSE IN THE MAKING

March 1, 2014 By Holly 2 Comments

Sorry to disappoint…..this isn’t my greenhouse…..yet.  Or I’d invite you over for afternoon tea.

But I have a vision…..lots of windows, lots of sunlight…..and how about a fountain too.

It all started like this 3 years ago…..

I call it a “barn” but it’s really a workshop.  It just looks like a barn.  OK with me.

We stored firewood and all kinds of odds and ends underneath the shed roof for several years.  Ugly, huh?

But then I decided to sell my Costco greenhouse and convert this wasted space into something dreamy.

 So I gave Mr. Denim a humongous job to do.

Thank goodness he likes a challenge…..and doesn’t mind a wife for a boss…..hehe.

We first enclosed one end with an openable window.

And then we hit Home Depot for T1-11 Siding.

He made windows out of 1/4″ thick plexiglass. To my specifications.  I’m the boss lady.

We started a few months ago and just tweak on our plan as we go.  It will have a clear polycarbonate roof too.

A week ago it looked like this.  Oh, hi Lovey!

And a few days ago it looked like this. We’re getting there!  Still lots and lots more to do.  I’ll post updates every so often.

Happy Dreaming!

PS…..First two pics from Pinterest…..a great place to visit for all kinds of ideas.
