Greenhouse Love

Lately, I've been day dreaming about building a little greenhouse in the backyard... Wouldn't you love a place like above to escape into?

Right about this size. Not huge but not super small, either. I love how pretty this looks illuminated in the evening.

It just so happens that my brother-in-law and nephew travel all over building greenhouses for a living....

This is one they did in Napa Valley. BTW, this is a small one, lol.

I think I would love to do what they do! Yes, it's hard work but gratifying. Travel, sunshine and fresh air seems much more appealing than a desk job. Plus the finished product is AMAZING!

My handsome nephew taking a break... What I wouldn't give to enjoy that view! You can find more of their incredible work here Elemental Solutions
Instead of bribing these guys with steak and beer, I think I'm going to try and build my little greenhouse myself. It would be a cool Springtime project. If it gets really tricky, I'll call for pointers. :)

Lastly, for all you gardening enthusiasts, when I was web browsing, I found this great site-You Grow Girl.
