Have you ever visited friends' house in Chicago and wonder what the beautiful glass extension room is?Well,it is called Winter Garden - see cool photos here

I'm never sure what to call these rooms. I am pretty sure an oak frame conservatory has a glass roof but what is the difference between an oak framed sun room and an oak framed garden room? mmm, there is probably a technical definition but I am going to call this a garden room because the couple have an amazing garden (you should see the veg plot!) And I know that I really am spoiling you with posts this week - I have had lots of new Border Oak photos through recently - but these pics were too good to keep to myself. And I know I keep banging on about the new BBC series (To Build or Not to Build) but this house will be part of the series which starts on the 5th, BBC1 at 11am. With glass on three sides and huge roof lights you can imagine how bright this space is - which must be amazing in combination with the vaulted ceiling and the large open arch to the kitchen. This is a Clearview Stove - I have one at home and it is brilliant and we have two at the office (which has no central heating and is entirely heated by oak off cuts burnt on our Clearviews) A wonderful open kitchen and living space with a great balance of oak framing and glass. Having an oak truss on the return wall not only explains the oak structure of the garden room but also fills the connection space (between the house structure and the 'garden room') which would be tricky to visually link otherwise. Isn't it lovely? I am also trying to find a copy of Country Homes and Interiors as apparently we have a house in there (the little cottage I bored you all with at the beginning of the year) and Build It magazine also carries a Border Oak front cover this month. It seems that Herefordshire magazine distribution is about 3 weeks behind everywhere else, so the search continues!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted a “greenhouse.” I loved the idea of being able to walk into a room in my home anytime that felt like summer. {conservatory by Vale Garden Houses } Being surrounded by lush ferns, moss, citrus trees and true green goodness everywhere honestly wakes something up […]
