{Garden House} Dreaming of a Greenhouse for the Backyard

Our weather in the NW has been pretty fantastic lately, I am so inspired for summer! I’m still planning my backyard makeover. I can’t help myself, I think I love dreaming about a charming yard this time of year as much as I love looking at beautiful homes.

What is it about a garden that is so romantic?

I think this beautiful garden house would be a perfect addition to a backyard (MY backyard hahah). Most charming greenhouse EVER? Yes! It would fit into my garden design plans quite nicely! I can imagine myself puttering around in there, planting herbs in cute pots and tending to seedlings. And I don’t even have a green thumb! What’s up with me and gardens? I just love them.

I don’t really want to burst my own dream bubble, but sadly this lovely greenhouse probably won’t be in my budget for this year. 

Sigh. But a girl can dream. You never know what might happen if you dream big, right?

So what I want to know is, do any of you have a greenhouse? Do you love it? Talk to me.

Check out these links for more summer house or garden sheds inspiration pictures!

PS. I’ve got a “front entry makeover” update for you soon, just taking the pics!
