Of Course. An Orangerie.

6.06.2008

About a year ago a neighbor of mine mentioned to me that her dream room is an orangerie. I immediately fell in love with the idea as well, and now I can't speak of my dream house without first mentioning my dream room: an orangerie.

Modern orangeries are usually without the citrus trees & plants it was originally named for. I think that is a shame indeed. Mine will most certainly have small lemon, lime, and orange trees around the perimeter. I intend to host all sorts of parties and gatherings there. Think of the table settings, flower arrangements, and lighting you could do in there! It's even beautiful with just a simple table. I will watch storms come in through the windows and drink loose leaf tea.

I love orangeries too, Miss Ann. My favorite place to get high tea in London is the Orangerie at Kensington Palace. Partially because it's one I could afford. :)

I hope you have one some day, and I'll come steal your limes.

NOW that would be heaven on earth! I'm so glad I know about orangeries now! To think I could have gone through life without this knowledge!!!
