Fabulous Friday Sunrooms

Are you like me and actually "feeling" Summer coming to an end?  In one way I hate to see it end, but in another - cooler weather! - I am ready.  I thought we'd take a look at a few "FAB" sunrooms today.  I know we can enjoy our sunrooms year-round, but to me, they really remind me of those summer days!  


 Sunroom
I love this casual sunroom with the stained wood ceiling and white exposed beams.  Isn't that FAB? It definitely adds warmth and charm to this room!  The sisal rug and the slipcovered furniture are yet other ways to bring in this relaxed and care-free style.


Sunroom
OK, I admit...I am drooling over this quaint little nook here!  Firstly, I love the archway....ah!  Next I love the way the tile floor defines the space.  I adore all of these tall windows...and look at that chandelier..."Simply Irresistible" by my vote!  I could certainly kick back and relax (or blog!) in this elegant cottage-style sunroom.  How about you?

I'm hooked....I just HAD to post the close-up shot of this room...
Sunroom Windows


Sunroom Wall
Here's a bold and beautiful one...feast your eyes on this!  
The wall is quite lovely accented in this barn-red color...and look at that toile fabric on the chairs...I love the antique table and of course, check out the floor patterns.  Do ya like this farmhouse style sunroom?  Can't decide....well take a little closer look to the other side of this room...

Sunroom
Now I bet your answer is YES!  Right?  What a cozy sitting area!

Sunroom Floor
In this sunroom we have a terra-cotta tile look floor, but it's actually a stained concrete stenciled in a brick pattern.  It looks like the real thing yet it's much more affordable! Now for your thoughts...do you like these colors in this room better?


 Sunroom
Here is yet another simple design...I like the french doors and the transoms...how about you?

Colorful Furniture
This bead-board ceiling brings in such a casual feeling and done in white, keeps it bright and cheerful.  I love these bookcases and wonderful display of the accessories in them.

Sunroom
And, last but not least...how about this color-wonder!  I like the use of wicker in here with all the colorful cushions.  And notice the painted ceiling....in a lovely shade of turquoise...scrumptious AND "Simply Irresistible"!  I love the loud pop of color in here with this fabulous rug and adding that potted tree in the room certainly works for bringing the "outside" in.  Oh, and look at those black wall-mounted lanterns on either side of the large window....love it!  OK, I'll hush about it for a moment and let's get another shot of it...

Colorful Sunroom Decor
You know I adore these custom roller shades on the window and this yummy fabric on them...notice how the accents in the room pick up these colors too.  Can you see those wicker baskets in the background?  Need a closer look?  Yes, we must!

Sunroom Storage
Wooden benches line the walls in this sunroom...what a great idea!  Don't you agree?  Lots of storage for "whatever" and additional seating with the cushions.  I love all the potted plants used in here...I really do.  That's such a simple way to add some "oomph" and anyone can do it!  Yes, MY term for this is they "soften" the room....they do!


Beverage Station

  1. Beautiful inspiration photos! I've been lamenting the end of summer, but at the same time, so thankful for the extra time I had with my girls. One problem: in Houston, the end of summer does not mean cooler temps. The heat index was 107 today. Brutal!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to listen to my daughter's song. Melts this mama's heart!

    Happy weekend!

  2. Hi, Linsey! Thank you for visiting the blog. Sounds like you all really have had some brutal summer weather. We are already feeling some relief from the heat and I hope you do too soon. I, too, enjoyed having extra time with my son during the summer. That is always the best thing to me! Your daughter is lovely and I can't wait 'till she does more. I am a fan, tell her! God is doing some tremendous things in her life and at such a young age. Glory be to God for that! Have a blessed weekend!!!
