Hi Friends! I am so excited to participate in the ORC this spring! I have participated in the past (bathroom that I didn’t finish, and guest bedroom), and I am so happy to be working on our sunroom. My husband and I have been working on our house (#littleyellowhouserefresh) for about two years now and it is coming along! We have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and the living room/dinning room on their way to be our home. But for this challenge we will be working on the sunroom!
So as you can see – this room has been a dumping ground for all things that have no place….and furniture that I have rescued.
It’s a nice space but it does have some quarks about it. First this room was an edition probably sometime in the 90’s we are guessing. When they added this on it became a secondary front door. We have another front door, but this room is really now the front door. Weird. I know.
You can see the front door here on the right.
As you can also see in the above pictures there is always a door opposite the front door that goes to an outdoor patio. So we have that to overcome.
My goal is to create a space in this room that can be used for many different things. I want a secondary dinning area, mixed with the ability to use as a craft space (see my sewing table above), but has some storage so I could use for my crafts and pack up quickly to then use for a dinner party. And it has to seem ok as a front door….challenge accepted.
List of things to do:
Paint Whole Space: it’s currently a weird cream color that just looks dirty
Re-upholster the valances: I do like the window treatments they just need updating
Lighting: make not so ugly, found an old chandelier plan on painting it
Table: Found one on craigslist a couple weeks ago but I need to re-finish
Rug: need to find a rug to soften the space
So we have a lot to do in the next couple weeks, but it will be worth it to have another dinning space (with all those windows) in time for spring and summer.
Next week we will be working on the painting and I will be sharing my inspiration board!
This is such a fun event, be sure to check out all the other participants here!
Oh I can’t wait to see that room used as something other than a dumping ground! It will be so nice with those windows! Go Lianna! Good luck!
I am excited to see this finished product- it’s definitely an awesome but tricky space!
thanks Julie! we will have to have you over for dinner when the space is done!
Great space and there are some great furniture “rescues” in there! So much potential. Can’t wait to see!
Thanks Marcie! there are some rescues in there, I keep bringing more home than we have room for! thanks for stopping by!
We definitely have one of those dumping ground spaces too..unfortunately it’s not getting any love this go round. Maybe in the fall š Can’t wait to see how you transform it!
I think it’s healthy to have a dumping ground! but I am ready for the space to be pretty! thanks for stopping by!
