Sunroom Makeover
Welcome to my sunroom makeover! This space has always been a little paradise for my plant babies, but I figured it was time for me to enjoy it just as much as they do. Plus, I was over the plain white walls and ready to bring in some personality!
The Before:
The DIY Begins!
First things first—I cleared out the entire room, carefully relocating all my plants to make space for the transformation. I started by adding base cap to the top of my baseboards—something I do for all my makeovers because it makes such a difference! Then, I covered the floors with paper and painter’s tape to protect them from what was coming next—PAINT!
Crown Moulding & Painting
This was only my second time installing crown molding, but with a miter saw, adhesive, and a brad nailer, I got it up pretty quickly! (If you want a step-by-step guide, check out this blog post.) Then, I put my brand-new paint sprayer to the test, and with all the intricate details in this molding, it made the job SO much easier. Since this sprayer isn’t ideal for painting entire rooms—unless you want to refill it a thousand times—I rolled the rest of the walls and ceiling in Maison Blanche by HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams, the dreamiest creamy beige that I’m completely obsessed with!
Ceiling Medallion & Chandelier
Next up was painting and hanging the gorgeous ceiling medallion! I used the paint sprayer again to get into all the intricate details, and it paired perfectly with a beautiful chandelier I found on Amazon. It instantly took the space to the next level! I also painted the arch leading into the dining room to create a smoother, more seamless color transition.
Time to Decorate!
Once the painting was done, it was time for my favorite part—decorating!
First, I rolled out this stunning brown rug that I am still completely in love with.
Then, I created a gallery wall on the arched wall—if you want to see my step-by-step method, check out this blog post!
I even built my first-ever piece of furniture—a DIY coffee table! (Check out this blog post to see how I did it!)
I found the perfect arched cabinet but decided to add fabric to the inside of the doors to hide the clutter—see the transformation here!
I painted both my DIY coffee table and a beautiful scalloped console table (a Facebook Marketplace find! Check out that blog post here!) using Cabinet and Furniture Paint in Otter by HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams. The deep brown looked stunning against the creamy walls!
To finish it off, I swapped out the knobs on the console table’s drawers for a little extra charm.
I also added brown pinch pleated blackout curtains on gold rods with gold eyelets, which added such a luxurious and cozy touch to the space. The warm tones complemented the creamy walls perfectly and tied everything together beautifully!
The Finishing Touches
One of my best finds was the bouclé couch in the color Alabaster with washable cushions—SO comfy and practical! After adding the final decor touches and bringing back some of my plants (while redistributing the rest throughout my home), I thought the room was finished... but of course, I wasn’t quite done yet!
The Final Addition: A Frame TV
Since this sunroom quickly became our go-to lounging space, adding a TV just made sense. We installed our second Frame TV, and instead of DIY-ing a frame, this time I simply bought one. To keep things sleek, my husband cut a hole in the drywall and installed a recessed box, running the power through the wall to keep the cords completely hidden. Now, the TV sits flush against the wall and looks just like a piece of art!
And that’s a wrap! My sunroom is now the coziest spot we hang out in all the time—without sacrificing my plants’ happiness. Hope you loved following along with this makeover! Let me know what you think in the comments!
