Tanglewood
Tanglewood is the company in Maryland that is fabricating my greenhouse and other glassed-in areas. It all started with the greenhouse-style structure at the entry, an idea I got from an English greenhouse/conservatory company's advertisement. In reality it was probably off the rear of the house, but I thought it was a unique way to come in from the weather before hitting the front door. We refer to it as the conservatory--but I like to think of it as something much more casual. Then there's the breezeway, a transition hall from the family room to the garage and the southern garden. It has a slanted glass roof and greenhouse-like doors at each end. And finally a glass-covered patio that will still be open-air between the 6 foot walls and the glass ceiling. It's funny to me that from California I envisioned Oregon as being dark and gloomy in the rainy season. I grew up in Seattle and never felt that true, so I don't know why I projected that on...
