My green bedroom.




During the pukka Summer months we de-camp to our outdoor room.

It's a little like going on holiday (without the inconvenience of travel).

Yes, there really is a room somewhere under all that foliage; we almost need a machete.

It looks wonderful. I hope the foliage doesn't damage the outdoor room.

Looks good and cool

Cro Magnon said...

If anything, I think the foliage keeps it cool. It's mostly Wisteria, with some Clematis.

Cro Magnon said...

It could be cooler, but I'd have to install a ceiling fan, and there's no electricity in there.

Looks very cool under all that foliage. I heard you've got high temperatures again.

local alien said...

I was trying to think what it looked like. Not a Hobbit house. A Smurf mushroom maybe. Very picturesque anyway.

Cro Magnon said...

Not as hot as yours! We're expecting 30 C today; I can cope with that.

Do Freddie and Bok wander in through curtains of flimsy voile?

Sue said...

It looks like it's been there forever. Only seems like yesterday you were building it.

Cro Magnon said...

They do. Bok sleeps with me for my 10 min afternoon siesta, and Fred sleeps there at night.

Cro Magnon said...

It's mellowed well. It's all that foliage that does it.

Tom Stephenson said...

Add some Honeysuckle to it and you will get the perfume after the wisteria has finished?

Cro Magnon said...

Not much perfume anywhere, but I do have a Mock Orange bush nearby that is amazing.

I love it and I'm glad you always share it with us also, thanks to nature, every year the plsce looks different to the previous.
Greetings Maria x

Cro Magnon said...

I've now added a picture of how it was in 2011, just after we'd built it.

Maria said...

Thank you Cro, in both picture it is beautiful. X

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

I am trying to decide if it should be Architectural Digest or Home and Garden Magazine. Beautiful.

Cro Magnon said...

I'm going to have to do a lot of serious pruning this winter!

angryparsnip said...

Beautiful and so green.

cheers, parsnip

Cro Magnon said...

It has a lovely atmosphere, looking out through all the hanging foliage.

Jo said...

With being separate from the house and having no electricity you certainly are going on holiday to a unique destination!

Cro Magnon said...

No phone, no internet, no annoyances, full stop!

The Weaver of Grass said...

I seriously want one.

Jane Karwat said...

I wish.

Cro Magnon said...

That's what I used to think Weave, so I built one.

Cro Magnon said...

Wishes come true; mine did!

The best laid plans of mice and men and all that Cro.
