Well I have a little conservatory that was here when I came and I think it's more of a utility room and for about 10 months of the year it's too cold to sit thee and I had a large settee and cane chair that was taking up too much room also my tumbledrier was out there plus a dresser and bookcase:eek::eek: and it was neither one thing or the other.
Also my house is small and it was ok when I was on my own but since OH has been here with his boys toys (tools) and his habit of buying things in two's or three's I am pushed for storage so I'm going to put that in the newly named 'utility room' and have taken the cane stuff out and put it on freecycle.

I am fancying painting it a nice pale yellow with touches of green

I've done it in paint program and it looks good with a little gingham curtain instead of the glass doors,
