IAK Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 ;) So my conservatory from Ernie has arrived and I am so excited about it. :yes: It will be added to the living room to my BH. Can't wait to get to the point when it will be a part of it. So much to do and so little time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokelly Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Congrats on the delivery. You'll love it. Mine sits next to the computer on a table waiting to have the last wall put in. I bashed mine a little bit and added a fourth wall. I'm hoping to have this room completely finished soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adallae Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Congrats! I love your Garfield - can't wait to see what your Beacon Hill looks like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chattycathy66 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Congrats Irene ;) I also built the conservatory and am waiting to get to a point where I can add it to my BH....I originally wanted to add it to the living room side, but didn't think I'd be able to because of the chimney, but now that it's finished, I think that will work out ok too...I might just have to ditch the basement window. What have you thought about?? I did some stain glass work on the conservatory windows, and although it came out a little "much", it will fit perfectly with the owners of the house...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmatson Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Congratulations Irene. That will go just fine with your BH and make it even more beautiful than it already is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippet-gal Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 That's a lovely conservatory, I've got one; it's such a good size, you can do things with it. It will make you BH huge! I would love to add mine to my BH, but I'm a bit put off by the finished size. Plus, I'd have to forfeit the kitchen window. jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Congratulations Irene! You're gonna love this piece . . . it goes together like peanut butter and jelly! Jackie, don't be put off by the size! It really fits in well with the Beacon Hill. Have a look at my conservatory. If you look at my Beacon Hill Album you can see how I attached it to the kitchen side of the house. Piece of cake . . . well maybe a little more difficult than that . . . but very doable! Good luck everyone with your conservatories!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teresa, it was seeing yours that gave me the idea in the first place - you made such a lovely job of it It's just the extra length & losing that window ..... however, I did just happen to prise 3 windows out of my conservatory (I bought it second-hand & it just needs repainting), this morning, so who knows what will happen? I certainly don't Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAK Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 I want to add it off of the living room side of the house. I plan to ditch the side bay window and put a houseworks french door there with a step down to the conservatory. Something like this: I will either fill in the gap above the door or maybe add an additional window there. Maybe I'll use the base of the bay for a step. Hope it works I have already put an addition to the kitchen side so I won't be putting it there. The house is gonna be long so I'll have to find some kind of long table to put it on. I have alot of time for that. This is going to take a while to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works Don't forget to check the height & slope of the conservatory roof will fit in with your plans. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
