Residente102

Man this is nice, I need one of these when I have my own house


model3113

just buy an old Wendy's


litsalmon

That was my first thought, "they live in an old Wendy's."


cusoman

Or an old Rax (IYKYK)


Ceilidh_

Lol, had just said exactly that before reading your comment


clarinetJWD

I wanted one until I realized I live in SE Texas. I already have an oven.


suga_suga27

It will cost 50k… I want one too but 50k hurts


KatBoySlim

my daughter’s fiancé has a house in the hamptons with two solariums.

KatBoySlim

yes, it was quite a find. and he has horses too. snoopy and prickly pete.


doctor_futon

Agreed. I'd spend most of my time in it.


Confident-Chemist982

Stunning. I am so jealous. I would never leave this room! And cute dogs, too.


maybe_caro

This is original content!


nsfwtttt

We need a weekly update from this place, wow!


maybe_caro

🫡your wish is my command! Lol. I’d love to update by the end of the summer so see how big my plants get


nsfwtttt

Yay!


gladyskravitz

We have one of these and it is a CURSE. I'm in MN, and that room is 35 degrees all winter and 90 degrees all summer. It costs a fortune to heat. It's technically my dining room, but I've only eaten in there probably 5 times in 11 years. We basically use it as a big mud room. It leaks, from multiple spots. My yard has quite a few pine trees. The upper panels are always coated in a layer of grime and pine needles. It always looks nasty. I wish a tree would fall on it so I could use the insurance money to build a normal dining room.


maybe_caro

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! We live in GA. We can comfortably use the room about 10 months of the year. The warmer months are actually better because between our shady backyard, the ceiling fan, and the AC that comes in through the French doors, it’s been surprisingly comfortable even when it’s blistering hot. The windows are also UV tinted. The coldest part of the winter we only use if we bring our space heater out (we put our Christmas tree out there last year!) The rest of our house is a 1600sq ft ranch so the heating/cooling aspect hasn’t been too big of a disadvantage for us thankfully! We’ve lived in this house for exactly a year now, but we were able to figure out that this add-on is about 10 years old. Which I appreciate, because we know it’s solid! No leaks or any other issues like that so far. Biggest down side has been keeping the roof clean. My husband usually gets of a ladder with a leaf blower, but I did have to get up there and scrub the windows during pollen season this year which wasn’t fun


StasiaPepperr

It may be worth it to invest in a power washer. It would save some scrubbing in the pollen season. I don't know off the top of my head what the appropriate PSI would be to not damage the materials, though. That I would ask a tradie.


maybe_caro

We’re definitely considering that!! Just haven’t gotten around to it yet lol


Early_Ad_8523

Where you live plays a huge part with it not leaking. In MN, where that other person lives the weather varies too much for the movement that happens with these systems.


CheeseChickenTable

LOL I looked a this and was like "Looks like GA, my japanese maples look just like that right now and is that pinestraw and pine trees or oak trees, etc." too funny! saludos from Atlanta!


pyordie

Which side of your house is it on?


maybe_caro

It’s in the back off of our main living room. It faces directly north, if that’s what you’re asking


lordeharrietnem

I’m also in Georgia and looking to build a solarium but debating size. Can ask the dimension of yours?


bearthedog3

I was just about to ask the logistics of a room like this. At first glance, it looks great, but I can't imagine the cost of heating/cooling and cleaning. Maybe it makes more sense somewhere where the weather is naturally agreeable, but not where I live!


ruggnuget

Ya I get too much hail in my area. Looks cool but no thanks.


decemberrainfall

Me, already mentally planning where to put my solarium until I saw this comment


arsenohauchecornite

We used to have a small solarium in Vancouver and could use it almost year round, though it usually was a "rainarium." Not anywhere near as glamorous as this, but actually very nice during the rainy seasons!


tinnylemur189

Spend a few hundred bucks and get some peel and stick reflective tint [For example](https://www.amazon.com/Privacy-Window-Blocking-Static-Black-Silver/dp/B0C4Y4DVRV/ref=sr_1_12?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yDXjYAKY76WP1zSjLScjuIlnrPdcXPy3X-uMI-3_ar2vSTt6pERumS57BUeQh6Iic51QbMiGOBAwsZdQ1MgG-85Dr0a-abKfNYp76lGYYYFxRPYm3bteA5LpPOSRxXA_7VX_B9axifyRwBkaLflafU7owN4LzVCjc05qeBnjdxiTwXCk2EwxHGgt3bEgVLiJtfGYCzvEl4HYCjjt24k26ud8no3SeBeprjgRsTADodhAtTnuTFEbrj1jVGlIbAXyQGuG3D-vLAyoH6BhyvRG6DOtkBLhPYFRxIPLC7HaOh0.775k7mMB1BW3OPEme10N2-eNrDAqMnD05dyVxRgecrg&dib_tag=se&keywords=peel%2Band%2Bstick%2Bwindow%2Bfilm&qid=1720287817&sr=8-12&th=1) Slap that all over the glass and it should significantly cut down on the heat. For the grime and stuff I would just treat it like car glass: give it a good, deep cleaning [maybe use an auto glass stripper if necessary](https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Glass-91411-Stripper-Fluid_Ounces/dp/B07YP6Q437/ref=sr_1_2?crid=346105PIFZX1J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gqVurpc-G-JFRIbpzc8HtV7ApMLFLRi8U5FZyTO6wfKjesECjI5lwHwSUsJ9bnlT0LFilJ2Fp3RvuwirQA6t1sQ3Zm-QO_ZhxYlCClO3BfHhKycG13W8LmZgkIJ_YcufJYE1FL8ODHK9OJdG1i9mBytfpexF6cqHxPBaGTiW6-yyIASQpxcb5rkI71aEek6Uo1IIdCzQDySNW0ZuWp9H51aV1szBntvATaS_OvrmkXOb9UDN55tbQmNX6cNE-FlhyrOHzjEvz8zriuVQ3WrlahIkpwROZRaq0oYW4hh0-lQ.y2XfVT_q4_WF0VdMS8dc3ubF2j4g3UhVBl7ObDOibyQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=auto+glass+stripper&qid=1720287921&sprefix=auto+glass+strippe%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-2) and then throw on a nice auto glass ceramic coating or rainX layer. If you do it right, everything should just hose off in the future. For the leaks there's not much you can do other than re-caulk it. Might be worth just hiring someone for that. Or you could just dab caulk onto the leaking spots but that wouldn't look nearly as nice over time.


doctor_futon

Lol I live in MN too. Thank you for tempering my dream of having a solarium. Maybe a room with a skylight and sliding doors instead.


smbrgr

Thank you for this. I’m in MN and I need regular reminders that sun rooms like these are not for us.


Monday0987

Looking at the pics it just looks cold to me. Unless it has underfloor heating it doesn't look cosy.


westworlder420

Catch me out there DURING the rainstorm if I ever had this. I’d bring a blanket and a book and read till I fell asleep to the sound of rain.


maybe_caro

Yessss I LOVE rainy days out there!!! the pictures of the rain don’t do it justice since it can get pretty dark


marshmallowy_goo

One of the most enjoyable spaces I have ever seen.


maybe_caro

That is so sweet! Thank you :)


futbolkid414

This is exactly what I want at my house one day. Amazing!


shieldwall66

So calm and peaceful. Loving the muted colours and the Doggos are sweet.


maybe_caro

Thank you!! :)


Fit_Art2692

It looks out of a book! So cozy and very tasteful. Great job


maybe_caro

Thank you :) I appreciate it!


readerj2022

I need one. A solarium...the dogs...whatever.


heretic_burning

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

We make that joke allllll the time ahaha

Absolutely enchanting 😍

Euphoric-24

This is gorgeous


JawBrokerz

Gorgeous ughhhh you’re blessed


dvn_rvthernot

Does it ever snow there? I bet that would look very cozy as well.


maybe_caro

We are in the south in an area that averages a couple snow days every few years 😭 last winter was our first one in the house and I was hoping for one so bad but it never came. Hopefully this year!


Trodoil

In the UK we call these conservatories, and they're used to store all the junk you don't know where else to put. Fridged cold in the winter and basically inhospitable in the summer. They can look cozy though


Wolfdreama

I opted for a solid roof conservatory with skylights. Absolute game changer.


Bald-Bull509

I want one of these for my wife's house plant obsession. How much does something like this cost?


maybe_caro

Unfortunately I don’t have that info as it was already a part of the house when we bought it :(


bunnycrush_

Gorgeous! I love to read, so this is a dream feature for me. Special S/O to the Japanese maple, especially in that last pic — one of my favorites.


maybe_caro

I love the Japanese maple too :) we got so lucky, this house came with that one in the backyard and two beautiful ones framing our front door! I’m obsessed


cowhand214

This looks great! Would love to hang out there and read with the dogs. Really love all the plants too


fluffy_samoyed

That's a really pretty area rug.


Main-Ad2547

So beautiful I want one of these😍 and with the rain?? Ugh so nice


Bunnynynyny

I would love to sit and read 📚 and watch my 🦅 birds fly around !


Impossible_Dot3759

Oh my gosh. So cozy


Realistic-Eggplant24

Magical


Lizamcm

Good lord the jealousy I feel


_lippykid

I just had a plain old screened in porch quoted for my place in Florida and the price came back at $25K lol. Just aluminum and mesh. I’d be scared to have this boy priced up nowadays. Looks great


maybe_caro

Oof!! I actually don’t know much about all of that, we bought this house last year and as far as we know this was an add-on to the house approximately 8/10 years ago. Which I appreciate, because I know it’s solid!


Reeferologist-

Ahh this is super cozy. Now I want a damn solarium.


Frozty23

I have a similar solarium, though not in as good a condition. Are your curved panels glass, or something else? How old is it? Ours is almost 45 years old... leaks through the original seams were an issue, so I've re-covered the top with corrugated (smoky transparent) panels. It took direct sun for decades.


maybe_caro

I believe they are glass as well. We’ve only owned this house for a year but we were able to find out that this room was added on about 8/10 years ago. No leaks so far but fingers crossed obviously!


LoudKaleidoscope8576

It is a very tranquil looking room! Love it!!! I want something like this!


happymask3

Can I live with you?


Scuffle-Muffin

How difficult is it to clean the roof of that room? I’d imagine tree debris gets on top quite often lol. Beautiful room though.


maybe_caro

It’s not ~easy~ I wouldn’t say haha but between a leaf blower, our hose, and some long poles with scrubby pads on them we’ve been able to keep it looking decent enough! Obviously there’s some debris on the ceiling in these pics as we’ve gotten a lot of rain the last few days


l3tigre

I love my sunroom- we have a very similar aesthetic but tall sliders vs the rounded glass. I live out there 🥰


maybe_caro

Oooh love that!!


Dependent_Top_4425

Omg its gorgeous! I love your style!!


maybe_caro

Thank you :)


Adventurous_Art_146

This is breathtaking 😍 Extra bonus like for the cutest good boys 🙂


Kadokiekokenz

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH


Visible-Tea-2734

Amazing but really needs to triple the plants!


[deleted]

Gorgeous!!!! So cozy. Your doggos look like they love it too ;) Off topic: what products do you use to clean your flooring? I rent and this looks like the same flooring we have throughout the downstairs area. My landlord said they "used a machine" to clean but we can't afford that. I've been using Bona but curious if there's a better product.


cupcakerica

It’s beautiful! I am envious, and just put “solarium” on my dream home list. Thanks for sharing the beauty!!


Potat-Ant

Oh man. I got to enjoy one of these while I studied in Ireland. I remember curling up with a book and just escaping to another world. Now I live in satans asshole… and have enough sun spots to create a topographic map of middle earth. 🤷‍♀️


Hot-Ability7086

Your dogs are precious

Ma'am this is a Wendy's.

Wow 😍 what I wouldn’t do for a solarium


humdinger44

Another solarium?!


wankthisway

One for Snoopy and Prickly Pete each


nibbinoo8

hows the drainage around yours when it rains and do you have ant and mice problems like i do with mine lol?


maybe_caro

There are gutters around the top edge and we did a bit of landscaping around it and have had no drainage issues so far! No ants and mice either, but I bet the rodents I can attribute to the fact that my dogs are always out there :P we’ve surprisingly had bigger bug issues in rooms on the complete opposite side of our house, haha


nibbinoo8

for us it’s more that mice and ants seem to like living underneath it. some ants are getting in through there but the mice seem to burrow around ours and then get in other ways to the other areas of the house. still an amazing room to have and we’ll get the pests under control!


Adept_Walk1700

Okay, I’m adding solarium to my dream house list.


fungeoneer

Make it a rustic accent piece in your solarium.


m0nky

Do you have 2 solariums? That would be quite a find.


maybe_caro

Just one :)


Knock0nTheSky

Where did you get that rug? I love the pattern and colors.


maybe_caro

Thank you!!! I got it from Old Time Pottery. I actually have the exact rug in a different color scheme in another room my house bc I love it so much😂 unfortunately I can’t find the exact brand name on the tags


MiniNarwhal

I would consider committing murder to have a solarium like this. It’s gorgeous! We have a sun room where one wall is just two sets of sliding glass doors which is nice, but… this is so much nicer. 😍


ZookeepergameFar2513

Well this is just dreamy 😍


solocamo66

Is this what we’re calling conservatories now ?


Wolfdreama

There *are* some subtle differences between them. Solariums often have that curved glass, which conservatories pretty much never have. Conservatories also often have a low wall around the base, which solariums tend not to have.


hereitcomesagin

Envy!


ZiedsSister

Beautiful and peaceful 😻


ChanelHungria

maybe_caro

I could not imagine one of these rooms with no shade!


7oclockonthedot1

Gorgeous room


Cuntflickt

What’s the difference between this and a conservatory?


Wolfdreama

Primarily the curved glass, I believe. Conservatories also tend to have a small "half wall" around the base, whereas solariums have glass going all the way down.


ButterflyLow5207

Great pictures! I'd spend a lot of time in there.


OfcWaffle

Well thanks for the invite!


Ok_Eggplant5099

As an Arizonan, this would be comfortable to use three weeks out of the year lol. Curse this damned heat.


blopdab

Omg imagine sitting in here on a fat ass bean bag, reading a book while it's pissing it down outside 😍


Addictol

You just need to add that smoke tint, and you have yourself a 1990s Wendy's!

I love this! I would love a bigggg comfy couch or chair in there. Is that possible?


maketheworldpink

This is gorgeous.


atreidesgiller

Where in the world are you living? Seasoned expat here, I would love to create a nest like that. It gives a sense of belonging, and a feeling of being done with the rush. Lovely.

Excuse me but I would die for this. You need more plants!!


TryingT0Wr1t3

Minor question, did any kid ever kicked a ball or something through the glass walls? I am considering turning a larger balcony at home into one of these but a bit unsure about the glass walls.
