It spans the whole width of their garden, and is part slate roof-tiled and part clear glass-roofed in the middle section to catch the sunlight. It would have been too hot to sit in had the roof been made entirely of glass!
The end section to the left is a garden shed, but to make it look symmetrical the OH added stable doors to both ends of the building. Underneath the stable doors to the right is a built in desk and the top half of the stable door opens so you can look out.
He half-panelled the inside and wallpapered above with grey Laura Ashley Josette wallpaper. The french wall lights inside and outside are a paler grey-I love them! He's just recently made a built-in Irish style dresser for my mums china, painted in a contrasting white.
He got the idea for the project from the antique French doors he found in a skip, then designed the rest around them and made it all himself. He even made the matching wooden windows- pretty good for a first attempt! It's almost finished now, just a few bits to finish off and paintwork to touch up on. I love the scalloped lead flashing under the windows-in fact, I love it all-I wish I had one too! I'm suffering from summer house envy.....

Wow, thats a gorgeous summer house!
wow what a fantastic summerhouse, your Tom is so clever.
I really admire good carpentry I think it's such an amazing (and useful!) talent to have and that is just the best summerhouse ever! Lucky parents-I think I'd move in permanently.
Nice to see you back Btw!

How lovely to see your post Sophie I look every week for you mind you I havent posted since February! Your OH is sooo talented and the finish looks wonderful I thing its time for you to move back home straight into the summerhouse. Did you ever get yout kitchen finished? We bought our ex-display free standing units 3 years ago and after Alan laboriously took up the dodgy floor tiles and then it took weeks to chip up the cement underneath. I am now at the stage of the newly plastered ceiling (to cover the ugly artex frosting!) the new lights hang in plastic bags and one more coat tomorrow. Then me on my knees doing the skirtings tomorrow. We will get there..................
Wow that is one fabulous summer house.
Aw! that is so cute!! This is my dream kind summer house when I was a kid. Simple and full of floral thingy.
Love it!
