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!
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.

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!
