I'm impressed all to bits Hazel!!....lovely job!!... : )) I did the layers the same way you did....otherwise it got a little confusing....I also kept renaming my layers (1,2,3 etc) because I found my V8 would reverse the order of the layers when I duplicated them; it would put layer 9 at the top instead of layer 1...this way it was easier to keep them in order...

The ideal glazing will transmit light well, yet not transmit thermal infrared, the wavelengths at which the solar energy absorbed in the greenhouse is reemitted. The ideal glazing will also have a high R-value, will be inexpensive, and will last a long time. The most common types of glazing are glass, polycarbonate, and polyethylene films. Glass, the original glazing, is the longest lasting of the glazings (in the absence of large hail), particularly if the glass is tempered. It is expensive relative to other glazings. It transmits light very well, yet it is opaque to thermal IR. Glass does not diffuse light very well and may result in shadowing and plant burn. It is more difficult to work with and in fact tempered glass cannot be cut at all. Single pane glass has an R-value of about 0.8. Polycarbonate (PC) generally comes in twinwall or even triplewall sheets in thicknesses from 4 to 16mm. It is easy to cut. Twinwall PC has an R-value of about 1.4, and triplewall PC has an R-value of 2.5. PC has a high degree of light transmittance and low thermal IR transmittance. Light is diffused with PC, lowering the risk of foliage burn. PC lasts 10-20 years. Polyethylene (PE) films are relatively inexpensive and are the easiest with which to work. Single layer of PE film has an R-value of about 0.8 but and inflated, double layer PE glazing has an R-value of about 1.4. Light is transmitted and diffused well, but plain PE film is not opaque to thermal infrared wavelengths. Therefore radiation energy losses at night can be greater with PE films than with other glazings. PE with infrared additives are available, and these films reduce heat loss by about 20% compared to plain PE films. The lifespan of PE films is generally felt to be about 3-4 years. Other less commonly used glazings include acrylic, fiberglass, and PVC. Information provided by: Stressbaby

@ShadyWillowFarm Thanks so much yes those blue chairs have coasters on them but recently moved to the living room because they are too light and my dog likes to barrel into them a litte too much😆 @Jennifer Schuessler thinking of adding a bookcase light—my husband just needs to wire it something similar to this @arcy_gw thanks for all the great suggestions! i am thinking about repainting the fireplace and bookcase in a warmer white. When I did it, it was on a whim while my husband was away for a few weeks . I hsve thought about stacking logs inside—thanks for the reminder. The space is definitely a pass through but I wanted to at least use the space for something @daisychain Zn3b ooh I love the idea of some woven art. I placed the mirror there because there was already a dowel sticking out. But I can try Bigger! and Lower!
