My joy about my windows was short lived. The hunky guys that installed the windows cracked one of the big ones. Granted it was or is a small crack BUT those babies cost a lot of money. I called the company but they didn't call back today, I'll try again tomorrow. My sis and BIL came and moved my wicker porch furniture to the sun room today. We also gathered up all the garden torches, shepherds crooks, etc. and put them in one place. My sweet sis is also storing my garden tools and equipment til I can get a garden house built. Katrina's bathroom gets tile tomorrow. Suzy your place sounds like a heart song. You know one of those places that makes your heart sing on any day. I wondered if anyone would notice the guys. People were slowing down and looking at it today when we were there. Gloria, I'll have to have the driveway done sometime soon. Not looking forward to that.

I am thinking BM Carob for the walls and black, bronze and shades of tan/creams accent pieces around the room and this lovely rug! You also could find a great piece of art for the wall that you just cannot live with out with all the colors and it can have some pops of other warm colors in it.

jane ny, I was in a similar situation last year. For me the sequence was paint first, then flooring, then baseboards, But it looks like you may have baseboards already installed. Painting first worked for me because I did it myself and there were spatters on the subloor before I was finished. You might want to check on whether your subfloor is indeed covered with plywood, because you may need an underlayment before installing your floor, depending on what you choose. Best to check where you buy the flooring. With some help from a friend who knew what he was doing and owns a Skill Saw, I installed a plywood underlayment in less than two hours. I too wanted tile with a slate or similar look, but the room was already over budget (long story) and I chose to spend my money on high end French doors because the floor could always be changed later. I got some advice from the flooring forum while deciding. You can always post a message there before you proceed. We narrowed floor choices down to either loose-laid sheet vinyl or vinyl tiles. My friend chose the tiles because the color and pattern seemed to fit well in the sunroom/porch. The original intention was to keep those tiles for about a year while I shop for tile and find a good tile installer. But the floor has held up well, despite some abuse like beach sand, rain coming in when some airhead (

Post pictures in the window forum and I and the other pros there may be able to help offer advice.
