Another Place for Seedlings!

A couple Christmas's ago, my brother gave me a small greenhouse to get seeds started at our previous house (thank you bunches!). At the time, it would've been more than enough space for all the seeds in my garden, but now that we've grown, it just isn't big enough. Nonetheless, this greenhouse will prove useful during the growing season.
When we unpacked it, it was very obvious that it wasn't really sturdy to be put outside at least not without some major bracing and intervention. At our old house, this would've been easily done, especially because it wasn't nearly as windy as on our current land. However, with the wind constantly blowing here with very little breaks, we couldn't justify it going outside.
When thinking about where I wanted to put the greenhouse, I knew I wanted a larger window (either in the dining room or mudroom where double windows were present). At the time of building the greenhouse though, my mudroom wasn't in great shape. There were boxes everywhere that had not yet been unpacked and all our chemicals and tools were upstairs on shelves and on a folding table in the mudroom. In order to put the greenhouse in front of light, it went in the dining room.
Since then (a couple weeks after building it), I was able to move it into the mudroom. This way, it's out of the way but also getting the most possible light.
