It was two years later that the conservatory project began in earnest. The “just a greenhouse” idea had blossomed into a fantastic conservatory garden room with a built in spa and a fireplace in a luxuriant setting.

It had a curving copper roof with a glass cupola and was made from the same rich mahogany as the earlier cupola. You can see this lovely custom conservatory in the Our Portfolio section of our site. It is the #11 project.

All went well with the project, and Molly and Mike have now been enjoying their conservatory for several years when a call from them came to Nancy.

They were getting ready to remodel their kitchen and would like to have us design and build a large, 2 story bay window in the breakfast nook. A new entry door was also needed and the entire space was to be paneled with mahogany wainscoting and trim.

Molly is very fond of prairie-style design and asked if the windows could incorporate a pattern of leaded, stained glass to reflect this. We produced a number of different designs and color schemes however, forever an artist herself, Molly took to the work with colored pencil and markers and produced her own version, a more intricate and personal adaptation of one we had done.

At the same time, they let us know they were not yet finished with Tanglewood! Another renovation is planned for an alcove off their master bedroom and an existing sunroom that will become another conservatory room, a glass domed parlor – also in the same beautiful mahogany of which they are so fond.
