It Begins and It Ends

[labbasgle]

These series of phrases go from one to another by using the last word of one as the first word of the next one.

Example:

greenhouse
house shoe
shoe tree
tree of life

Can you figure out how I got from my starting phrase to the last one?
I'm giving you the first and last phrases, plus a word and a couple letters. I will give more hints if needed.
