We're done, we're done, almost

17 years ago

Remember the free windows and doors I got from the Restore trash, they have been magically transformed into my dreamhouse/greenhouse. Okay, we worked our patooties off and its my idea of a dream. Anyway it's 95% done, just needs shelves and of course all of ya'lls ideas for junking it up (frou-frouing). I painted it to match the trim on my house, but it needs some ideas! My DH is the best.

    That is wonderful! Can I ask what you used as the roof? I have been wanting to make a porch like that on my studio but haven't figured out what I could use as a roof. I love what you have done! I can't wait to see how you junk it up.

    If you are in a snow zone, the doors should open in.
    Just a suggestion.

    Looks great! DH did a very nice job on the cuts & getting everything square!! Looks like a pro built it!! Shelves or couple of baker's racks would be perfect & some pots & buckets to mix soil & watering can. etc. Cute chimes hanging up would about complete the look, maybe sign above door with cute saying!

    WOW, that turned out wonderful. Nice when dreams come true isn't it! Give your DH a big Congratulations on job well done! I can't wait to see how you decorate it now. If its this pretty empty, its going to be outstanding when you're done!

    Thanks everyone. Smick, the roof is polycarbonate panels from LHS, they come in clear, white, smoke and green. dcarch, we hope for snow and hardly ever see it here in central Arkansas, Sorie,the southeast, Sunnyca, it's not real square, but the doors and vents work fine and with a lot of caulk and paint on my part it looks fair and I had thought of the sign over the door idea, DH suggested "The Win-Door Astoria", since it's made from windows and doors.Thanks for the ideas.

    What a great job you two did on your greenhouse! Looks just awesome! Can't wait to see how you decorate it...are you going to use it as a "growing" type greenhouse or more like a conservatory/display type? Some of our GJers have wonderful fairy gardens too...maybe you could even incorporate one of those in there too! A Baker's rack would be a good shelving unit also.

    WOW!!! How neat! Very interesting and functional. You guys have got it goin' on .....

    As for ideas, I've got a feeling you're gonna do just fine .... can't wait to see how you froufrou it up! ~tenderlee

    Froufrou...if you don't mind me asking.....where in central Ar do you live? I live in SW Ar....about 50 mi. from Texarkana.
    BTW...good job on the greenhouse!
