Summerhouses

Dear All,

After purchasing a summer house, I am looking for ideas on how best to use the space.

We opted for this one, which looks fantastic, now it's up and ready to go: http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/Summerhouses/BillyOh-Henley-Summerhouse

I just wondered if anyone had any original ideas on how to make the most of this space. I know my hubbie is pressing for a kind of games room equivalent, however I am thinking more about a late summer retreat space.

Any ideas, then please reply......:j

    if it were me, I'd make it a relaxing place to retreat to. Nice comfy seating, soft lighting, plants, radio. I'd make it my own little haven.

    However, other ideas for the space:
    Install a hot-tub?
    Sauna?
    Office/TV room?

    TV/Radio is a petty good idea, maybe some wicker furniture.

    and don't forget a wireless laptop so you can sit in your summer house and still surf MSE
