This is an old picture, but here is my "garden room".

Our entire 1/2 acre is shady, and I just got so sick of gardening in the shade(the dark!), so built this in the only sunny spot amongst all the trees, for all my vines and sun-loving stuff.

It was made with scrap porch metal from a flea market that we got for an incredibly low $100, and the "fence" is an old balcony, which was a gift from a friend(they were going to put it in their home they were building, but unfortunately, divorced half-way through :0(.

We still haven't put a roof of any kind on it, but we still enjoy it like it is... There is a swing to the right, and a bed/swing on the left. A fire pit(a walmart clearance $40 cheapo) keeps it inviting in there, even when the season is over.

It certainly fulfilled my chronic desire for everything "shabby chic", while providing me with a chance to garden in a little sun, and provided a much needed focal point.
