Last summer when we visited Christopher Lloyd’s garden at Great Dixter, I bought a postcard showing the “solar.” It’s a huge room with all the inviting elements – ancient beams, leaded windows, bookcases, and enormous, deep fireplace. On a worn Turkey rug, these two armchairs and an aged green sofa are arranged in a half-moon in front of the fire.
her spirits rose... 
I think the green one is calling me!

Inviting indeed! I would happily spend an afternoon in either one of these chairs, or lying on that green couch watching the fire.
I have always wanted a personal solar — and I’s put that green chair in it!
And sit there with that beautiful grandchild!
