The sunroom is done.
The green floor looks stunning, when it isn't dusty. Which is never. Oh well.
I hope the novelty of the new space wears off soon, because nowhere on my miles-long spring to-do list
is an item called "lay around and enjoy the sunroom."
Yet that is all that Smooch and I want to do.
To be able to "sit outside" without the wind blowing us around is bliss.
And when the sun goes down and the stars come out, it really is like sitting in a planetarium.
Smooch: We should have done this years ago.
i am trying not to feel jealous, but I am a little... the room is perfect and so is Smooch in her kingdom, without wind. the floors dried to really a nice color... love that quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful room! That is where I'd want to spend all my time too.
ReplyDeletesuddenly I want an afternoon snooze eh ;-)
ReplyDeleteDoes your sunroom face east? I'm just thinking that afternoon sun might make it hot and I don't see a ceiling fan...or do you have one? Hehehe...we'll be out for a visit! (just kidding)...I'm out working on our front porch today. It would make a nice sunroom, but it gets the dreaded southern exposure and in summertime it would be VERY warm!

Very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteBest always,
Have you slept out there yet?
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful and I'm so glad for you and Smooch!
You did a great job. It is beautiful. It is obvious that Smooch fells the same way. What a great place for both of you to spend time together.
ReplyDeleteSmooch: But Mom, the pillows block the view from my daybed!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so inviting. You really have to add "sitting on the daybed doing nothing" to your to-do list at least 3 times a week.
ReplyDeleteJust don't get too comfy and forget to write and take pictures.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! it's done, now you will be able to enjoy. until it becomes an habit, it is difficult to program time for rest, but now you have a very attractive place for it.
ReplyDeleteDo I spy a chicken just outside the door, waiting to come in?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room.
I am surprised you don't have a telescope. That room would be perfect for star gazing especially during the winter months.
ReplyDeleteYou should have a fabulous view of the PanStarr comet. It is on a 100,000,000 journey, which means we are probably the only people that will ever see it, because the next time it comes around I'm quite sure we will have used up all the planet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect addition you've made for yourself and Smooch. I should imagine that the time spend in your sunroom would be just what you can delight in. Safe from the elements and out closer to what Mother Nature has blessed you with. I envy your view of the night sky. I bet is it glorious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your peek into this lovely peaceful space. And I love your "non St. Paddy's day" colored green floor. Great green. Oma Linda
The Indoor Outdoor Room is the reward space. Do something, sit for a few. Do something more, sit for a few. Darkness falling, sit for a few. End of the day, sit for a few.
ReplyDeleteAppreciating the gifts in your life: priceless.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Yay! I think you & Smooch deserve to relax and enjoy your new multi-purpose room for a bit. I hear ya about the wind...maybe I should talk The Frenchman into building one of these...hmmm....
ReplyDeletei love your new digs....iwould be there all the time I bet the night sky is spectacular...no lights fron the city, only stars...our friends in prescot valley see that all the time...not here in the triad of nc...I am jelly,,,,!!
ReplyDeletelove from NC
I love your new room. Spend at least a season savoring it. Wish I could see your nighttime star-scape.
ReplyDeleteI hope the novelty doesn't wear off for a long time. I'd be out there a lot with a big grin on my face.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Smooch approves.
The sunroom and Smooch are gorgeous! Glad the floor came out well, it looked really bright in some of the in progress pics. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect art room! the light is great! Have you ever considered giving painting a try? Best therapy in the world!(Not that you need therapy!!!!) It's just so fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat room. The floor turned out beautifully! I agree that adding 'spend time in the sunroom' to your daily 'to do' list is a good idea. Good luck keeping Wynnona out of there. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeesssssssoooooooooommmmmmeeeeee! Can't imagine a more peaceful way to enjoy the evening.... Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIts lovely, and I would especially love the night sky.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing I really love are Smooch's short, succinct comments.
Perfect!
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
Love, love, love the color of that floor!
ReplyDeleteYou did it! What a great space.
