🍃🌿 Conservatory Reveal 🍃🌿
This Conservatory reveal is well past due. My original goals had the conservatory ready last fall, but try as I might, everything was behind schedule, including the other bedrooms. When I finished the other bedrooms in February this year, I immediately turned my attention to the Conservatory, as it was the last interior space to get a makeover.
Fate had other ideas! It seemed like everytime I walked into the conservatory, something broke somewhere else in the house! We've had to deal with frozen pipes/water damage, broken toilets, the fridge going out, the microwave failing, a pine tree falling over, sewer line clogs, doorknobs falling off...the list goes on and on. While we've kept up with the unexpected tasks, the Conservatory has stood patiently to the side waiting its turn.
These last 3 weeks, I turned on my tunnel vision and ONLY worked on the conservatory, putting in some 14 hour days in the process. With my two daughters assisting, we've managed to reach our first goal to get it cleaned and furnished. And it's just beautiful!
It's not finished. Parts of this house will never be "finished." The windows still need repairing, I'd still like to get the brick exposed someday, and there is still some more decorating to do. But in the meantime, I plan on enjoying this stunning space, with its beautiful light, open space, and calming influence. What makes it even better is the way it opens up the Drawing Room! Having the French doors open makes both rooms feel bigger and lighter. It truly is a joyful space!
What do you think of the new space?
