Or conservatory or lean to...

Or "That place where all the rain leaks in..."

Or that room you can't go into in the summer because if you do you will simply disappear in a puff of smoke because it's so freaking hot in there.

No, no, no. No rain will leak in there! I'm just settling with the flat and organizing the stuff I need to do and buy - and I've not planned for the windows to leak! Only the windows in Paris are doing this! (*ducks*)

I found "conservatory" and "winter garden" on dict.leo.org when searching for Wintergarten - but I knew conservatory only as a place to grow tomatoes in. Oh well, picked the wrong one

Or the place you rebuild your engine (motorcycle, car, outboard) during the cold days

It's commonly known as a sunroom here in the US as Krisk has already said, but I think the name "winter garden" is quite lovely and an apt description. It is a place where I would love to sit in the winter with plants all around me. It's a dream I have.

Reminds me, we also call them 'Three-season Rooms'; we get all four seasons here and winter is NOT the one season the rooms are designed for/usable!

But, I do like sound of Sunrooms!

Re: shower not tiled up far enough. I took some heavy plastic (shower curtain? or shelf lining) -- clear, in my case -- and use push pins to attach it to the wall by my laundry sink. The sink was continually splashing the plain painted wall. If you do this neatly enough to suit your own sensibilities (or prettily enough -- get a fancy plastic piece!) you might be satisfied with the result.

no no NO! a conservatory is where Colonel Mustard whacked Miss Scarlett with a candlestick!

I could have sworn it was the lead pipe in the Hallway. And, I thought it was Mr. Body who got killed???

..."extra bedroom" when family comes to visit.

It was the Lavender Prince in the Abatoir with the Bic Pen.

(I should really stop playing Clue with Adrian.)
