Curtained Debut

Yesterday, below, my conservatory under construction. Rescued materials (aka free) a century old: doors, most windows, cedar planks, tongue-groove.French doors, above, are the front of my conservatory & face the back of my home.
My carpenter (now my hero, for this feature alone) set the back windows, above, to open. Notice the outlet above? Chandelier + gravel floor + 3 outlets + 4 walls of windows; what more could a girl (no worries, girl knows when to sling queenly commands) want in less than 200 sq ft?
My patio, above, in normal life.
My patio, above, today. I can't abide it.
Curtains, above, from my bedroom onto the patio have been closed for weeks. My constitution does not include the strength to see this.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

Today, maybe, guys will be done !!!! Cannot wait for the curtained debut of my conservatory. No, my guys aren't slow they keep working on my client's jobs. Yes, a GOOD problem.

    Oh my, I'm so GREEN with envy! Oh how I would love to do this ... if only I knew I were to stay settled in this area. We're thinking of moving closer to family - but this idea is etched in my mind. Maybe the next place we live.

    That will be so nice when the work is completed! Then, you can organize it all into shape, and all will be well!

    Wha a magical place you have created- those doors and windows are AMAZING! And I must admit to being guilty of Chandelier envy.....
    Happy Holidays to you!
