Three years ago, we bought a vacation home in Florida. We are hoping to one day spend the winters here, but for now we try to go every couple of months when work schedules permit. As Canadians, we are allowed to spend 6 months a year in the USA, so the long term plan is winter in Florida and summer in Canada. Which means we want the Florida house to be well suited to hosting our family who also want to escape the Winters.
The house had a screened porch with a leaky tin roof, no access to outside, and was basically unusable, except for bicycle and junk storage. Because the house has just 2 bedrooms, when both kids, DIL and baby visit, someone has to sleep on the sofa. My intent was to build a sunroom and bathroom that could double as a spare bedroom when we had guests. The room is long and narrow. 2 Palette beds flank the one wall, providing comfy sleeping for 2 guests, as well as a long, loungey area for reading and for napping. One end has a large old desk, and the far end houses the bathroom.
So now we have a "guest room/sun room". Perfect timing because another Grand Baby is on the way!
Congratulations on the expanding family! Your sunroom is very pretty and I really like the colours and textures. Gorgeous lighting too. I'm sure your family will enjoy this new space, both day and night.
ReplyDeleteI love opening my computer and finding you there! The sunroom is amazing .. I thoroughly endorse your 6 months here / 6 months there plan. And congrats on the new grand baby, they are the best! Mine are now 21 and 18 in two days!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've put it all together. I like the idea of the paw print in the tile even if it was accidental - what a shame the tiler misunderstood you and cut it out. Lots of congratulations on the happy news x
ReplyDeleteOooh lovely! And Ooooh, another grandbaby! Congratulations on both accounts. When is the due date?

ReplyDeleteWhat? No peek at the bath?? LOL. The room is lovely - blue is one of my favorites, but I tend to be a chicken and just accent with it. And congrats on the new grand! We are up to number 6 here, and it's still exciting!
