I am not sure where this project originated but we quickly developed a plan to build a greenhouse when Rob aquired some large sliding doors and windows from a job recently. A viable building project when you love to be outside, grow plenty of veggies, adore houseplants and have a wild dream of being a flower farmer because doesn’t that sound lovely?? More of a fun project than a need but you have to chase dreams I suppose.

We took some old decking from a wheelchair ramp that we took out at our house. Build up some framing and popped the windows & doors in. Used recycled treated lumber for the roof joist and bought (the only expense) some fiber roofing material.

I have been beautifying the outside with some rock materials from around the farm and filled in the center aisle with vintage stamped brick. We will add some old windows in peaks eventually, we used trim from left over materials from our addition and white paint I scored for $5.00 a gallon! The plant racks are made from recycled doors and I will move in my potting stuff and all the other eclectic junk I have collected over the years. Maybe a stained glass piece or two as well.

I am not sure why we love these types of projects, but there is something so satisfying about using reclaimed materials for a custom space. While a greenhouse is not your traditional space, it is a space and one we have already grown to love. Have a unique project idea for your house??? Contact us!
