What an elegant word for me, us brits called it the conservatory. Bravo on the chair.

What was intended to be a porch, then became an office for my barrister husband, who needed solitude to read the law, closed off from cavorting boy cubs w/in "eyeshot." Fortunately the screens were transformed to beautiful windows complete w/ Velux skylights before construction began. It's three walls of oak woods viewed beyond his massive antique walnut desk, I'm sure soothed his nerves while he put his mind and pen to work. Now his status as angel has allowed me to turn the porch/office into my girlie room, swathed in Benjamin Moore's white chocolate, (of COURSE, CHOCOLATE!) Thank you, Mrs. Blandings. I must peruse the bamboo chair......and I doubt "solarium" will roll off my boys' tongues, either. But I must give them credit. They are good w/ giving the family room a more creative name, still to come.Locust Hill Dollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-76519484760731535922012-01-12T07:50:39.864-06:002012-01-12T07:50:39.864-06:00With the exception of sofas, I've been asked m...With the exception of sofas, I've been asked many times "is that comfortable?"
