I have a few tricky spaces in this old house of mine... Funny nooks and crannies and a rabbit warren of rooms... The verandah is a space that has been giving me a lot of trouble for a long time... Originally an external verandah, it was glassed in some years ago and is now an internal living space... Long and thin and surround by old aluminum glass sliders - the space is not really indoor nor outdoor - and is barraged by an onslaught of sun in the afternoons... Hmmm... tricky! Recently, however, I've been playing around with my Robert Plumb outdoor furniture - and decided to bring it in from the deck to the tricky verandah... The proportions seemed to work... Then, I began bringing in my pot plants (ravaged by the wind outside) and slowly have built my very own little indoor glasshouse - you know the type I've been dreaming about building out in the garden for years! Although it does get a little heated in there - and I will need some outdoor awnings around the perimeter of the house soon - everything seems to be surviving - in fact, the plants seem to be loving it... And so, a breakthrough - my tricky space, is now my favourite space. Next will be recovering the Robert Plumb beige cushions into something more uplifting - possibly a Thibaut (?) - don't you just love decorating...
