The Sunroom is DONE-ish
Alternate titles for this post could be “All White Everything” or “My Happy Place” or possibly “The Never Ending Story” would be more appropriate, but no matter what you call it, we are about 90 percent done with the sunroom!
It got several coats of fresh white paint last week and it feels so bright now! Even on this freezing rainy day.
I would love more white walls in my house, but the Mr. is not as crazy about my “paint all the things white” attitude. I compromise in most of our house, but the sunroom was all mine. MINE, ALL MINE! :)
This is my all white everything room, walls, trim, ceiling, even the floors. Luckily the Mr. loves it too, now that it’s done.
Remember these gorgeous Armstrong floors?
They look so beautiful now that the trim is finished and painted. I’m so in love with them! You can read my post HERE on how easy it is to install your own.
Now I know some of you may be in the Mr.’s boat and not crazy about my all white room, but don’t worry, I’ll be bringing in plenty of color with accessories to offset the white.
Starting with the window bench cushion, can I tell you how much anxiety/indecision I’m having picking out a fabric in here? UGH, didn’t realize I was such a upholstery commitment phobe…
If any of you have a favorite fabric source, please share it with me, I’d love to know! I’m leaning toward blue stripes…
So, things to finish still besides furniture etc…
We are missing the glass windows in the side transoms going into the living room.
The outside still needs some work too, we are missing a section of the roof, some siding, and shutters on the back of the house. BUT good news we found the right roofing material hurrah! So that should be finished up soon too.
All in all DONE-ish pretty much sums it up!
So beautiful!!! I am looking to do something very similar and turn our screened in patio into a sunroom! I love those windows and have been looking for ones that open like those. What kind did you use?
I love how you have the contrasting wood floors. We were thinking of doing this but couldn’t find any photos of it being done….thank you for that ;)
Do you happen to remember the color name and type of Armstrong floors you used? Our dining room and family room is done in a similar dark wood and we wanted to do this in the kitchen as well as our sunroom.
I love your sunroom. Can you tell me the width of the entry. And what is the depth of the room from the entry to the windows? I would have never thought to face the couch like that.
Hey Dara sorry we don’t live in this house anymore so I don’t recall the dimensions – thanks!
Beautiful room! We have a house in northern Mi and this room is inspo for me! We are adding an addition. Do you know dimensions of your sunroom?
Hmm this is from our old house but I think it was 18×15 if I remember right?
Can you share what floors these are? I love them and this is exactly what I am looking for in my sun room.
They are from Armstrong floors here is the link https://www.thelilypadcottage.com/2014/07/install-laminate-flooring.html thanks!
Could you tell me the style #, color and size of the Armstrong flooring? Is it laminate wood or tile? I love it and want it in our bathroom.
Here is the link to the flooring http://www.armstrong.com/flooring/laminate/forestry-mix-white-washed-wood-plank-L6620/floor-138969.asp
Thank you! That looks great :)
Gorgeous! Can you tell me what brand/style those windows are?
I believe they are Jeldwen.
Beautiful! We are in the very first state of adding a sunroom to our home. Are you putting doors between the sunroom and main living area? If yes, what are you doing. I see the glass panels.
Is the sunroom heated?
No there are no doors just glass side transoms, it’s a heated all seasons room.
The sunroom looks awesome! We are starting a very similar project, do you have any information on the windows, brand, size etc.
Thank you!
Not sure on the size but the windows were Jeldwen. Thanks!
I am going to (hopefully) build this exact room. How large it your room? What size windows?
Thanks :)
Hi Tara it’s 14 x 14 not sure on the windows but just fill the 14 ft up with windows and you should be good :) the ceilings are 9 ft. Good luck!
I too love all things white! Can you share the paint brand and name? The bright white paint I used to use was discontinued and I’ve been on the hunt for a new one. Thank you!
Beautiful room – would love to sit there and look at the lake. Where did you get the baskets??? Looking for those too. Thx
They are from Pottery Barn, love them!
Hello Kelly! I love all white too. I get a piece of furniture and paint it white. I see a wall and paint it white. But my Hubby is not an all white guy at all. He loves bright and colorful. Our compromise is color but subdued neutral color. I can live with that. Our living room is a blue, grey, green depending on the lighting and I LOVE it.
Anyway, fabric source: Sarah Richardson. She has partnered with Kravet (?) and has her own coordinated fabric collection and they scream lakehouse!! They are pricey but I believe oh so worth it. Another but even mega pricier option is Schumacher fabrics. They are simply stunning. I have also heard that there are companies you can send fabric to and have it laminated into oilcloth if you want it wipeable.
Hi Kelly,
Love love love your sunroom. We just purchased our dream property on a lake and I am in the processes of designing our last home with a SUNROOM and also a screened porch. I just love the look of your room and the white!
Recently I came across a GREAT fabric website. Here is the link:
http://www.tonicliving.com/new-arrivals-C82.aspx?s=OrderBy%20ASC&p=1
Lots of fun fabrics and they also will do custom sewing. Looking forward to seeing what you decide upon.
I so enjoy your blog!
Oh love the fabrics, thanks for the tip! Good luck with your new home, so fun!!
Okay. This is the most perfect sunroom I have ever laid eyes on. Props to you, your vision, and follow through. You nailed it!
Fabulous!!! I agree with more neutral on the cushions if they are more
Permanent. But I’m sure whatever you do will look amazing !!
I love all white!! It’s clean. Too many people are scared of white. I would even do a white couch! Looove it!!
The white couch is ordered! Although it has some wicker on it too ;)
Ok, even if my retirement dream doesn’t come to be (a lakeside home), I would love this all seasons room. It is just beautiful Kelly. I vote that you stay neutral on the seat cushion as well, that way you can use accent pieces to be your pop of color. Can’t wait to see how you will finish the room out.
I like the neutral idea until I see Buddy’s muddy paws all over it…still thinking on it!
I have to tell you I love the all white look for this room. You really enjoy the views and those gorgeous windows. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Cindy
Thanks Cynthia, I’m really happy I stood my ground on the all white:)
Really beautiful! Enjoy!
I love it! The windows are amazing and the floor is gorgeous! AWESOME!
Thanks Leslie, so excited to hang out in here!
What kind of door do you have going into your sunroom? French doors or sliding doors? We’re doing a sunroom soon off my kitchen and I was wondering. Your sunroom is beautiful.
No door, we had it open to the house because it was heated. Thanks!
Absolutely Gorgeous. Yes ,I could see myself sitting out there listening to the birds singing and just relaxing reading a magazine or good book while having my morning coffee
As for cushion color;(now this is just me) but I would use a natural color; tan or maybe a cream color and then come in with ‘pop ‘of color using orange, blue, teal, yellow, greens, etc. Like bringing some of the outside colors , inside
Thanks for the ideas, still brainstorming on it!
Love the room, where were the lights purchased?
Barn Light Electric, love their lights!
I’m predicting this room will be in a magazine very soon! Holy gorgeous, my friend!!
ha oh please, thanks girlie :)
I am an “all white room lovin” kinda gal too!!!!
So GEORGOUS, great job!
Can you tell me what white paint you used?
I don’t have a color name for it, it was just color matched to our cabinetry in the rest of the house, sorry!
Oh.my.word. Kelly this is AMAZING!!!! I would just want to lie down in the middle of the floor and soak it all in. LOL! Would that be weird if I came over and laid down in the middle of your beautiful room? ;-)
Love it girl!!
No! As long as you bring coffee with you, we can hang out :)
My favorite fabric source is fabric.com I just purchased ten yards for new valances in my kitchen. The fabric was $50 a yard from a local store for just $9.95 a yard at the fabric.com I have an amazing local lady doing my sewing if you need a source for that too!
Thanks for the tips! I still can’t seem to make a decision, but I think I’m getting closer!
Beautiful , Kelly! Another job well done! Love the all white!
the room is gorogeous just as it is. congrats on almost getting it finished with 10% to go!
Thanks Laura, agh will be so happy to see this project done!
Love it! Just a thought on the fabric for the bench, it would most likely be something that you won’t be able to change as easily as a pillow, so I would go more neutral with your fabric and use your pillows & beautiful throws for color on the bench. Just a humble opinion. Love your style!
The neutral is appealing but a light color scares me with Buddy’s muddy feet…
Oh wow, this is stunning. I am green with envy and your view is totally to die for. Congrats, the sunroom turned out gorgeous.
Lovely! Give me the dimensions on the window bench, Please.
How thick is the lumber used? Gotta have one!
It’s 20 inches deep, 19 inches high, and 14 ft wide :)
LOOK at those windows!!! Holy smokes, lady I’m totally in love! With every update of this sun room that trip to MI is getting more and more likely ;) well done, Kelly!!
YES! We will turn you into a Michigander yet lady :)
Gorgeous! I LOVE all white! We just bought a house and I’m planning to go to town with the white paint as soon as we get in there :-)
Oh fun! Nothing better than a fresh slate!
I love it all white! Great job girl;) What about a pretty natural (light cream/really light beige to contrast the white and tones in the floor) color duck canvas for the bench cushion with stripped and textured pillows so that you can rotate seasonal items easily yet still achieve the lake/coastal charm you like. :)
Love that idea, you all seem to be in agreement I just wish I didn’t have to worry about dirty dog paws…
Love it! Can’t wait to see your colorful touches!
Thanks Christine, can’t wait to show you all!
My Mr. is the same way about white. I would really love a white kitchen, but that’s a “no” since we both love to cook. Maybe we could compromise elsewhere too. :)
Ha good luck with that!
Hello, I’m in the process of renovating and I have been looking for ideas inspiration and came across your gorgeous sunroom. I’ve been looking for those woven wicker baskets, do you mind sharing where yours are from??
Thank you ??
Hi Maura this post is a few years old now but the baskets were from Pottery Barn. Not sure if they still carry them? Thanks!
Just curious about your windows – what size were they, do they have screens built in, and where did you buy them?
Hi Steve I don’t honestly remember this is in our old house and about 4 years ago now – sorry!
