Florida Room...Finished! (though not completely furnished)

Welcome to the finished (though not completely furnished/decorated) Florida Room. Our family has been out of town for the last two weeks, first to church camp and then to Oklahoma. When we returned, we had a completed room instead of a little ol' patio. I am so loving it! I'm trying to get a plan of action for how to furnish it. We want to move the boys' massive LEGO collection out there, so I need to find a cool piece of furniture to hold those toys. We picked up the rust colored chair and side tables at a local antique/consignment store yesterday. The blue chair has been relocated from the living room. My budget is quickly shrinking, so I may have to wait a couple of months to really complete the room. I think I want to find a cool quilt and hang it on the brick side of the room. The bricks are really rough to the touch, and I think a quilt would soften it a bit, plus it might provide some sound absorption. We'll see. I'm also considering completely removing the windows between the living room and the sunroom so that it is an open space there instead of old (ugly) screens. Again...we'll see.



And this is my beautiful wall of windows.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for my room. I really am open to ideas, especially the types of ideas that are budget friendly!

You might try removing the screens and raising the windows all the way to see if you like having the opening there. :)

Good F words

Hey! Not all F words are bad. The best words in the world are family, fun, food, and fabulous! I'm challenging myself to expand my own appreciation of the fabulous F words out there. I'm starting a list of words that I'll eventually write about. Let me know if you think of another fun one.



Family ~ Father ~ Fast ~ Fanatic ~ Fanciest ~ Festive ~ Fanciful ~ Freedom ~ Friday ~ Flower ~ Flagrant ~ Fixable ~ Forceful ~ Forbidden ~ Foray ~ Foppish ~ Fledgling ~ Frappacino ... hmmm... maybe ?
