HELLO!
I’m so Happy to finally share my Finished Painted floors and Sun Room Makeover with you today.
InPART 1.I shared the story behind how these floors came to be.
In PART 2.I shared How I sanded and painted (Beige-Washed) my floors.
And now today, for Part 3 I get to share pictures of how the room now looks after its big makeover.
So Welcome to our Sun Room Come on in!
After my floors were finished, I got to work painting a fresh new color on the walls. Isn’t this color lovely?
This color is CalledWickham Gray by Benjamin Moore.
We rented a little Beach House AirBnB on the Oregon Coast last year and the whole interior of the beach house was painted this color. I loved it so much that I emailed the owners asking if they would please share the color with me and they did.
I had a beautiful Wallpaper Mural hanging on the wall before, and even thought I really loved the mural, I was just ready for a change and so I took it down. You can see what the Mural Wallpaper looked likeHERE.
I also rearranged all of the furniture to give the room a different layout.
I placed three bookshelves right up next to each other to create this built-in bookshelf look.
I was really happy with the way it came together.
I kept the day bed under all of the windows because this is a favorite spot to relax on. On a nice day, I like to open up the windows and let the fresh air in.
These windows are my absolute favorite part about this room……possibly even about our whole house. I adore these windows!!
I’ve mentioned this several times before, but this daybed is actually just a twin size bed. So this is something that is really easy for anyone to create. If you add lots of pillows to the bed it will just look like a daybed.
And if you just so happen to be a hoarder of throw pillows (Like Me) then this is also just a great way to store your collection. I’m always switching these pillows out for others around our home.
Under the bed I have a couple of wicker trunks and picnic baskets. These are great for storage, Plus I think they look cute under the bed.
The long dresser in the room is also great for extra storage. I recently gave this dresser a mini makeover and added leather handles to it that I created by cutting up an old belt.See that Post Here.
The dresser up against the desk hides all of the computer cords, plus the dresser is just a great place to put my plants on.
Plants do really well in this room because of all of the sunlight that pours in from the windows. I have quite a few plants in here.
You’ll find plants mixed in with other decor on the bookshelves. I always have fun decorating shelves and so it’s fun to now have a whole wall of shelves.
I like to look through home decorating books and so I made sure those books were easily available.
We really enjoy having the desk in the center of the room. It faces the windows and so theres a pretty view to look up at.
The desk got a quick makeover as well. Before the top of the desk was painted green, but for whatever reason the paint was scratching off of the veneer top. And so I had to pull the veneer top off, do some sanding, and then I just gave it a fresh coat of white paint.
There is a cute closet in the room too, which is just another great place for storage. I keep all of my craft supplies and gift wrappings in here.
I bought the white industrial light fixture at Habitat for Humanity ReStore a few years ago and I still really like it.
I kept my cow skull hanging up in the room. It holds my massive collection of seashell necklaces.
Another fun feature in the room is this hanging plant holder. I found it at a fun barn sale one year.
On the plant holder I have this Christmas Cactus plant.
The Christmas Cactus just so happened to be in full bloom right in time for my pictures. Isn’t if fun?
I took lots of pictures of the day bed and so I’ll just share them throughout this whole post.
I’ve had most of these Pillows for years, but I know that These Onesand These Onesare still available for sale. Also, If you check out myShop My Favorites PageI have a lot of other really cute pillow options.
The quilts are both second hand from yard sales and thrift stores.
I have a couple of little dreamcatcher hanging from the window.
And I made the curtains out of white $5 sheets from Walmart. See how HERE.
And the last thing that I always like to share in our sunroom is this bell water fountain. It’s been a favorite thing in our home for years. It makes soft little chimes that you can hear throughout our home constantly.
I had to put this fountain away for a while as I was working on sanding the floors and I really noticed the absence of it. I missed hearing the little chimes and so I was really happy to get it up and running again.
You can find a couple similar ones in myShop Our Home Page
Well the concludes my tour of our Sunroom / Office Makeover.
