Greenhouse - Metamorphosis Monday

We had your ordinary walk-out basement area which didn't get used as a patio area because it was too dark and there was no breeze. So, when we added a sunroom on the deck above, we enclosed the walk-out and converted it into usable greenhouse space. I have a greenhouse which was placed on one end of our storage shed when it was built but when I watered plants in there during the winter, it was so crowded I would have to move plants out to get to others to water - let alone have an area for working on plants. I really needed more greenhouse space. We put in a ceiling; painted the flooring; added lots of lighting and brought in some of the plants.

Below are the "after" pictures. We revamped my old door - another "door project" - by adding the shelf on top.

I had found wooden brackets for the shelf at Lowe's but they didn't look right so I went to a local antique store and they had reproduction metal ones just like I wanted CHEAPER than Lowe's wooden ones.

I plan on adding more plants. I'm waiting for the weather to warm-up to move them from the other greenhouse.



I now have seed planting space and room for a lighting system. I have some seeds going now and plan on adding more.
