I have a big and wonderful sun room that connects to my kitchen. It is definitely the hub of the house but due to it's size and proximity to the kitchen, it was awkward for us to decorate and keep it usable. We kept this look (the before) for at least 6 years and, based on its dumping ground status, it never really worked for what we wanted. We had lighting issues due to the skylights and still needed storage for bookbags and soccer gear. The after makes us so happy and we're all spending more time together during homework, dinner and breakfast times. Houzz definitely helped me figure out colors and the rugs. The color inspiration came from the chairs on the left - they were on clearance ($68!). The curtains hang from an industrial (and cheap!) cable system and the rest of the stuff was bought online. Sorry for the crummy before picture, it was taken at the last minute before starting on the ceiling tape repair job. (PS - the cute flowers on the table were my 6 year old's contribution - she felt the table needed something pretty).
