A Place in the Sun

Turn a sunroom from a landing spot for houseplants into the most

popular room in the house. How? Add bursts of bright color,

revamped tag sale pu rchases, and lots of personal details.

SIMPLE BEAUTY:

Maintain an airy look

“ I wanted my sunroom to have

an easy, breezy feeling, like the

beach house where I spent

summers as a child,” says

homeowner Brenda Kelly

Kramer. She created this

serene backdrop by painting

the walls white and adding

furniture in a palette of soft

browns, fresh yellows, cool

blues, and pale greens. Even

the wood floor was finished in

a creamy white paint. “ It's so

soothing,” she says.
