Almost

After 4 trips to two local tool rental shops all in a matter of 5 hours or so 4 machines later....2 layers of glued down carpet and lots of hard work...we actually have a concrete floor in our sun room.....and it is almost all done...I have hated this room with a passion since the first time we ever looked at the home...in the last 6 months or so it never really grew on me...I could never figure out what to do with such a useless and awkward place...those of you that have visited know exactly what I am talking about...the rest of you think oh sun room how nice...not really....well I must say that I am actually getting excited and that it is really coming together as a nice sun room...it has lots of windows just really not much sun so not sure if it is actually a sun room....anyways I think it is going to be much nicer than I had ever envisioned...and I think we will actually use it and enjoy it...the design is kind of rustic shabby chic summer camp....we are painting the floor a warm light brown....we wanted to stain it but I don't think the stain would take correctly since it is still pretty blotchy in color...I am going to try a antique glaze over the top of it to hopefully add a little depth....we bought a couple of inexpensive rugs... we are going to use Penny's old picnic table and bench for the dining table...Collin made a very cool 6ft long cedar and slate coffee table that will go with the 2 wicker rockers I found on sale...and in the fall we will have a small wood burning stove....for now we will have the air hockey table in place but this Christmas it will be changed out with a pool table....I also bought 3 ferns to put up on the windows between the garage and the sun room...we centered each one on each window it looks pretty cool instead of going with window coverings which were way to expensive...I am going to put 2 black and white pictures of Dylan in the room and well there you go...we now have a shade room.....
