I just got the September 08 copy of Real Living magazine and on the second page is an advertisement for Domayne’s outdoor furniture. I’d really love to have a nice little area where we can put some wicker furniture and catch some sun.

I have been thinking a little bit about what renovations I’d like to do on our house in Tasmania. I’m not going to go overboard as I only have a limited amount of money to spend on the whole renovation (see wish list here) and plus I don’t want to do any renovations that aren’t completely necessary first-off. One of the things that isn’t completely necessary but something that I’d really like to do is to erect a sunroom off the back of the house. This area gets a lot of lovely sunlight during the day and it is so nice to sit in this space right here and get the warmth of the sun during the day. At the moment its just a covered over patio with old steel posts and laserlight sheeting but I want to replace the entire structure and put up glass screens so that the fresh breeze is blocked out. I am thinking of something like this:

Or something like this:

Keeping in mind that there will be a big 10m x 9m shed running parallel behind it, I will have to put up some kind of timber screening or something similar. Also, I’m not really sure how the sunroom will be laid out in relation to the bedroom window, bathroom window and the back door. The back door will probably lead straight out into the sunroom and there might have to be another glass door that leads from the sunroom to the back yard area. I don’t really want the windows to look straight out into the sunroom.
