Everyone needs one. I’m thinking of building one. I know, I seem to dream about building a lot of things. I need to use that online architectural degree I’ve been pursuing during this time at home. (I should have done that!)
Sitooterie – a word whose popularity has waned since 1975. Wonder why? It’s a substitute for “gazebo, conservatory, place to sit and relax.” See? Everyone needs one. Now, wouldn’t a conservatory be cool?
I dream of one towering above the house, glass-enclosed, full of Dale Chihuly glass sculptures, not unlike the Chihuly museum in Seattle. I would put plants in there, but living in this desert-like climate I relinquish that part of the conservatory dream. Glass is easier to grow. When the morning sun would rise and hit that place – rainbows and color everywhere!
Of course, it would not be cool, but rather too hot to even go in there and relax. It would no longer be a sitooterie, rather a window-washer’s dream. So, I’m going to make the little baby conservatory I found on Pinterest using old windows. I will install fake plants, or maybe unused glassware from the cupboard.
And really – I won’t do any of this because it will require my spouse’s intervention and he will ask, “Now where is this piece going?” I don’t have that answer. Yet.
