Conservatory mockup
by brae
In using the Foxhall Conservatory kit for the garage, I had six windows and one double French door left over. I still wanted to have a conservatory for the Newport, so I decided on an enclosed deck off the master bedroom on the second floor. I looked at other kits and real life conservatories for inspiration and found a lovely veranda kit from Artesania Latina.


It's fairly expensive once you factor in shipping costs. Besides, the whole point of using the conservatory kit for the garage was to have the spare parts to create my own conservatory. I also wasn't sure the arched windows would match the overall look of the Newport. But, it gave me a starting point for my own mockup. Here's a rough idea of what I'll be going for.

There will be a bit of room around the enclosure to have plants on the outside, so I will need to replace one of the six windows shown with a single French door for access to the outer balcony area.
The double French door from the kit will serve as the entry into the conservatory from the master bedroom. I haven't decided if I want a glass or covered roof.
