Poppets, above notes are copied directly from a email sent to my Macon, GA clients. You've seen their home & garden, & happy dogs, the past few days.

The last pic, above, is Susanne Hudson's 1st conservatory. Too small, she enlarged it, seen in the top pics. Susanne & I built the conservatory, in my blog header pic, for the Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival, in Douglasville, GA this spring.

Building a conservatory in my garden, using rescued materials, beginning next week.

Susanne Hudson's conservatory was a feature article in Southern Living magazine. Took these pics in her garden earlier this year. Following my passion, they are not styled.

I am so in love with this conservatory. It is painted the color I just painted all my windows on my house. This would look dreamy in my backyard. Now thinking....how can I achieve this all by myself? Can't wait to see photos of the one you are building for yourself.
I'm behind and haven't seen that banner. It's gorgeous! I can't wait to see your conservatory!

The paint color on the French doors is divine--almost identical to my kitchen cabinets!
I can't wait to see your new work in progress- gorgeous images!
What a beautiful space! I'd love to build something like that but with the huge hail we get here in Kansas sometimes and the winds it probably wouldn't last long. I could add more windows to the side of our garden shed/coop though. You've given me ideas Tara! THANKS!
Maura :)
i would be perfectly happy living in that place.
i want an all glass home anyway-
but traditional.
this just seems like
it might work.
