Here comes the conservatory/orangery hybrid...exciting!

The company gave us ceramic flooring, heating, blinds, fan and spot lights in with the price. I can't believe that it's actually started, it's nearly worth OH being away from home 42 weeks of the year!

It's going to be fab. I'd love something like that but our garden is on a slight slope.

Wow, never known anyone to use the term orangery!!

Looks lovely tho!

Thank you ladies, I'll update as the walls go up ?

We've got a cream leather settee for one wall and an ikea chair (bouncy kind of rocking chair) for the other side and a small cane table and chairs to go one side of the existing patio doors. I'm thinking of this colour

with accents of grey and purple in the cushions and throw. After we've got married I want to put the wish tree and bits in there. The floor is a cream marble effect tile. We don't watch much telly so we're going to put a bose system in there, it should be cosy with the downlights as they're going to be set into a plinth to run all the way round and they're dimmable (is there such a word?)

Brilliant. Look forward to seeing the finished article.

And with the brickwork finished;

Can't wait for the windows and doors!

This is fab! Exactly what I fancy!

Love it!

I don't know when the plastic and glass bit comes? I'm already dreaming of the summer evenings, doors open (rain lashing in) listening to music.........

Update, it's bigger than I thought! Plasterer Monday, tiler Tuesday and second fix Thursday.

Looking good Aly!

My H has just started planning a new conservatory as our old wooden one is falling apart. Looking at the plans it'll be like yours but a bit smaller. I think it should be ready by the end of next month. I'm having nothing to do with it - it's too much hassle with a young baby. I'll show an interest though when it's finished though!

It looks awesome!

I can't wait until the OH comes home so that we can paint it and get the furniture out of the garage. I'm sure that he will appreciate coming throw shopping with me ?

Rizzo, it's been a strain looking after myself, the dogs, going to work, sorting out the builders and answering OH's questions on skype. I could not have done this with children too. The mud that the dogs trawled in was incredible and that doesn't include the cement that they walked in straight after it had been poured. I spent a little while with a trowel trying to cover that up! Best to enjoy it when it's all done and pretty.

Il est fini!

Just the decorating and soft furnishings to go which will happen when the OH gets home at Easter. So happy with how it looks....

It's my birthday/christmas/valentines/engagement/wedding present for the rest of my life ? Best present ever!

I am very lucky and I'm sure he will know how grateful I am ?

Looks fabulous

Hi, final update with flashes.

The painting is done, all the old furniture is in and I love it.

Wow! That looks amazing! Love the colour!

Thanks ladies, the colour was a bit of a gamble but I love it lots ? We've already had one dinner and drinks out there and it was tres romantic. OH is heading off to sunnier climes again tomorrow so it will be just me until July.

If you want people to share it with I'm sure some lovely Hitchers would just at the chance! ?

Ooooh party! ?

Ooh that looks just the sort of thing that I want but have read alot about them being cold in the winter and roasting in the summer. Can I also be cheeky and ask you how much you paid (I understand if you don't want to answer !)

Mrs MM

I've emailed you ?

Blummin laptop wont load the pictures, will have a ganders tomorrow but I am looking forward to seeing the finished product!!

Thanks Kjay, I hope it doesn't disappoint.

OH states that he didn't pay £xxx for it to be a drying room come greenhouse, I state that I'm maximising it's potential! It smells all new and lovely ?

Ha! I am sure it wont!

At the end of the day it is being used yes? Therefore no problem!

Thing is JoJo, my girls have left home and at the minute there's only me and the dogs otherwise it would tell another tale! My tomatoes and sunflowers are enjoying the conservatory though............
