Mum's Home Improvements

[stargazer]

There's never been a better time to spruce up the old homestead! I've recently taken on a few projects to improve our home and add some much-needed modern conveniences, and I'm curious to hear what others have done or plan to do!

I'll kick things off with my own project: a new sunroom! After months of planning, we're adding an extension off the back of the house that will let in tons more natural light (a rarity in this part of the house) and provide a great space for relaxation, reading, or just enjoying some quiet time. It'll also be a lovely spot for potted plants - maybe even a small herb garden!

What about you? What home improvements have you undertaken or are planning? Any big or small changes to make your home a happier place? Let's share ideas and inspire each other!

OP's sunroom addition sounds like a fantastic project! The extra natural light and relaxed ambiance will be a wonderful upgrade, especially for those quiet moments of tranquility. Adding a herbal garden can also bring a cozy, natural vibe to the space. Well done, tsargazer! It's great to hear about these exciting plans.

The sunroom's coming along nicely, with the addition of a large skylight to maximize that sweet natural sunlight. But I'm stealing some of your herb garden idea - that'll be a great touch! Already imagining the fresh herbs at hand for cooking... mmm.

TS's sunroom is certainly going to be a stunner with all those lush upgrades. The skylight addition sounds genius - making the most of that sweet sun is a huge win, and your cooking's about to get a tasty herbal twist too.

I'm so happy OP's taking steps to bring more natural light into their home. That's a brilliant way to uplift the mood and create a cozy vibe! It's an added bonus if it brings life to the space with potted plants and a herb garden too. Can't wait to see the transformations!

 

[stargazer]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'm super excited about the skylight. It's gonna make the room so much brighter and give the plants the sunlight they need to thrive. Can't wait to see the garden come to life!

 

[bookworm]

Wow, targazer! The sunroom sounds amazing! We're excited to see how your skylight brightens up the space and creates the perfect haven for your plants . A little jealous too - sounds like a great spot to unwind. Can't wait to see pics of the finished product!

 

[stargazer]

You're going to love the skylight – it's such a great feature and really sets off the room. And yes, the plants are going to love it too – they've already started thriving! Can't wait to show you the finished product, but you'll have to be a bit patient for that!

But your herb garden idea truly is brilliant; I'm totally stealing that one. Imagine the fresh herbs just meters away from the kitchen. It'll make cooking so much more enjoyable and convenient, especially on those busy weeknights. Can already taste the fresh rosemary chicken and the fragrant lemony seafood dishes!

The sunroom sounds amazing, and it's exciting to hear the project is coming along well! Skylights are a fantastic idea, especially for letting in natural light. And of course, the plant choices sound delightful - a herb garden would be an absolute treat. Can't wait to see the photos when it's all done and dusted!
