Sun-room floor, can I paint?
Comments (11)Jane, I was not attempting to discourage you from painting your floor. I just wanted to share what I learned through my own experience, because you had mentioned that you once considered using tile. Also, whoever buys the house might choose a floating floor and the paint wonÂt make a difference. Although I decided not to use paint on my porch/sunroom, I plan to go ahead with painting the plywood floor in the finished basement. Like you, I am contemplating a beachy (or summery) look, especially since I am on the coast. I thought about a distressed white or a gray similar to weathered shingles or weathered wood (ThereÂs so much of it around here). The patterned floors look great and seem like fun. The possibilities are endless. You can use stencils or sponging. You can also paint a faux area rug. This year I donÂt have the time or patience to attempt a pattern, but I am trying to learn decorative painting and maybe soon I can acquire the skills to attempt a pattern. For now, the painted floor is something inexpensive to go under area rugs. IÂm no help with a color scheme, but your wicker serving cart is great and will probably look good no matter what colors you choose. With area rugs, lots of plants and that lovely wicker cart, the floors donÂt have to be noticeable unless the paint looks really good....See MoreWe wish to have help with our Florida beach front sunroom ~10x20

Comments (13)What a cute space! I agree, lots of potential. It must be pleasant to sit there in the early evening and get a pulse of the neighbourhood. Is there any room in the garage for the strollers and wagon? That's where I parked mine. Otherwise, could you confine them all to one wall and perhaps use a curtain (or a screen) to hide them? (Your lights gave me the curtain idea.) As @AnnKH mentioned, those daily necessities aren't forever and I wouldn't invest much in storage solutions for them. Here's an Apartment Therapy feature on stylish shoe storage for entries. You know your family's habits best: would closed storage work or is open easier/better? A bookcase might be all you need for the shoes. Bookcases are usually 12 inches deep. (What size are your largest shoes?) Find an inexpensive vintage one with style you like or buy an inexpensive new one at Ikea and transform it to your liking. Not sure if the chairs are too big for the space but they don't look that comfy to me....See MoreSunroom decorating help
Comments (10)I would definitely white wash the brick. I would also hang your curtain rods all the way up to the ceiling with a linen curtain. I would get the couch and love seat you mentioned in Conversation Capri. This color and natural colors to created a nice serene and comfy space. Natural jute rugs. More posts coming...See MoreBunny
