We had a sunroom similar to yours in our previous home, with pine wainscotting and ceiling. I found that green seemed to compliment it best. I used a green with a blue undertone as opposed to yellow, which looked quite nice. Blue would be another option, although not very trendy these days, mind you, neither is pine! We have a new house now, and although I love it, I miss the warmth of the wood. Good luck with your project!

Hello, we have a small sunroom ( western side of the house) has knotty pine wood on the walls, ceiling and up into the cut out Skylight areas. The area up in the sky light reflected drip like black water marks on it so we decided to paint the ceiling (had the skylights replaced three months ago and we know the Knotty Pine is in fine shape otherwise). We decided to paint the ceiling, including up in the recessed sky light areas. started with the Bin primer, put two coats, then started to see an Amber-colored film coming through. Unfortunately the painter then added two coats of a latex paint. The amber color is still coming through. I'm wondering if it's old sap that which from the heat of the sun coming through the skylights. Suggestions on how I tackle this project at this point considering we have two layers of den and two layers of latex paint and the amber color is coming through just like we simply did a white wash.

Take photos of it in different light until you get one that matches what you're seeing in reality. Make a photo copy and take with you to shop for samples. Find a few you like, buy sample pots and paint large squares of each color in the middle of its own white poster board. Move them around the room in differing natural and artificial light, different times of day and varying weather conditions to see which one matches up best.

There have been some great suggestions, but I feel like we’re working in a vacuum here. What is your vision for your home? Although this has focused on the knotty pine, whether to paint it, and what flooring to pick, so much of the process is about the style you want, the furniture you have (or will buy), the colors you like, and the budget. I could go with light oak flooring, old Oriental rugs, nautical touches, red and navy and off-white, but I could also pick a dark green marmoleum floor, Morris chairs, black painted bookcases, a more rustic vibe, and plaids. How do you see it all coming together?
