On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
We wanted to utilize every square inch of the house and pretty quickly we took on the project of fixing it up. We got new windows, a new french door, added laminate wood flooring and did a little paint job on the walls. It became my home office and used it for most of the year with the addition of a plug in heater.
Big difference, right? I love every little bit of it. Isn’t the desk chair amazing? It was a crazy craigslist score and my only regret is that I didn’t pick up the additional 3 chairs they were selling.
The room is on the long side and since we had a daybed that we moved out of the original office when it use to be in our second bedroom. We moved it down to the sunroom and it fit perfectly. It’s always been a nice spot for my boys to read in when I’m in there working.
I used a section of the wall to organize all of my fabric memos. I picked up kitchen rods from Ikea and clips from their curtain department.
One of most impactful pieces in the space is the massive bulletin board. It was a super easy and cheap DIY Homasote board project. I have made them time and time again. Clients love them and the large trim makes it look really fancy.
I’m a visual person and I good way for me to stay organized and on track with client projects is a clipboard wall. It’s a really inexpensive project and can be done in less than an hour. Once I had it up I assigned each client a clipboard and kept up to date with their punch lists, swatches, receipts, etc.
Of course my office needs to have an elephant or two. I don’t even want to count how many I actually have. Let’s just say that during the move there were many boxes labeled, elephants.
Thank you! We love it too. Sadly I couldn’t find a link for it anymore. It’s Hampton’s Bay and really old from Lowes. It was actually a steal for $70!! If you search for clear acrylic or lucite ceiling fans you should find some, but I couldn’t find an exact look a like.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
