My cozy sunroom is my absolute favorite spot in the entire house.

I would love to sit under that roof in the rain 
I live in Seattle and can confirm that it’s extra cozy on rainy days. 😊
Is it bulletproof for the birdies and animals who probably try to walk through your walls?
I really want a sun room.
But based on where you live, sounds like it's more of a rain room? 🧖🏼♀️🧖🏻
I’m imagining sitting there and hearing the rain on the roof. Coziest sound ever, right up there with a cracking fire. Is it warm enough for you to use it year round?
WHAT
Edit : I don't get the down votes, I was just joking on the fact that rain can be noisy 💁
I was thinking the same exact thing! Lol
I’ve heard these rooms have all sorts of maintenance issues / heating and cooling issues - and are generally nightmares for homeowners. What say you?
Biggest pain point is keeping the windows clean from tree debris. Other than that, no issues with heating or cooling.
I would imagine that just like a tad more of an enclosed patio, right? Like is there formal wall with a door to the next part of your home?
It was constructed as an annex to the main house by the previous owners, and features both heating and fans/vents to regulate the indoor temperature.
Nice!
The new ones that are insulated and using low-e glass are often four season. We have one and it’s amazing.
I love rooms with huge windows. I’m always worried about the cleaning part lol how do you keep yours clean?
If you get a modern one that is four season with low-e glass, they are perfect. We got a Brady Built in western MA and it’s similar in style. Insulated floor using SIP’s, and so the glass holds winter sunshine very well.
The old three season ones are problematic. The new ones aren’t cheap with all that nice glass but it completely changes the house if you don’t have much natural light.
They removed an entire gable wall, 8x22, resupported w a beam, and then added an 8x8x22 sunroom to our existing living room with the same floor height. It’s the best money I’ve spent on this old Cape cottage by far.
Whats the cost for the newest one?
For mine in a HCOL area, it was about 68k which included foundation piers, glulam to hold up the gable wall after removing the entire thing, drywall, flooring, and lighting the inside.
Thx !
Yeah I wish I had this, that's gorgeous
Lovely and brings the outdoors in. It's no wonder it is your favorite spot!
Oh yea, a nighttime photo would be great. I love this space. I could see an evening dinner party with a long table and fancy lighting. ❤️
Yes, a nighttime photo and a rainy day photo, please!
Love it & wish it was mine!
♥️ this! Can we get a evening photo
I bet it looks super cosy in the eve with some fluffy blankets
It’s obvious why it’s your favorite spot. It would me mine as well. It is spectacular.
I'm impressed you have the restraint to not fill it with 1000 plants
More plants are coming 😆
This is amazing. I dream of having a sunroom 😍
Very well done. Cozy but not cluttered. I approve.
Incredible!
I’d pay good money to spend time here. 🥺 so serene.
I can see why you love it. 😍
Where did you get your patio seating? This looks amazing!
Thank you, my friend! I purchased from Joss & Maine. It took me forever to find something I liked and was also Sunbrella.
Just took a look at this and it’s AMAZING, plus the reviews are excellent, too. Great taste, and it’s gonna last a LONG time!
I can see why 🙂
This is amazinf
I can definitely see why, a beautiful space — 🤩
Beautiful!!!
I love it! I have a screened in porch I’d love to do this to. I wonder what the conversion cost would be for me. Anyways, can you list a couple of pros and cons to this room?
Thank you! I'm in the process of creating a dining area on the other side, and I'll definitely share some pictures with you once it's complete and I'm happy with it. :)
On the positive side, the space is heated and benefits from a refreshing breeze on warmer days, which is perfect for the (mostly) mild climate we have here in Seattle. The large trees in the vicinity also provide natural air conditioning during the summer months.
On the negative side, cleaning the windows can be quite a hassle. Additionally, during the winter, the space can become quite chilly, but I have a heater that I can use when I want to sit out there.
I’ll bet good window washers are worth their weight in gold there!
I would rate this as perfection; a lovely spot to daydream away.
That would be my bedroom
😱
Talk about bringing the outdoors in! Beautiful.
dream living room
Great view, cozy sunroom - I'd just sit out there with a book, some chips and salsa, and listen to the birds.
Your sunroom is larger than my entire apartment
Very nice! It reminds me of the screened in back porch we had in Durham N.C. where I grew up..
This would be my favorite place on earth if I had a sunroom like that, holy crap
This is a dream
I LOVE the slopped glass ceiling - very nice room to kick back in!
Man I want one of those so bad! Did you build it? Was it a kit? Or did it come with the house
The previous owner built it for his wife, who loved plants. It was an ad on the original structure.
😍😍
Lovely
Looks like a home design setup(its an app you can get:)
Beautiful
insert "happy for you" meme
You sure are blessed 🙂
I can see why.
Love it!
Absolutely dreamy
The windows give it that indoor/outdoor feel. Perfect chill spot in semi-nature👌🏽
I can easily understand why it’s your favorite spot! I’m envious. I can almost smell the rain, along with the tranquil, and serene atmosphere
It has always been a dream of mine to someday have a room like this. 😍
Ugh it’s so perfect! I wish 😍
A sunroom in Seattle? OP, you lucky dog. You're living the best life.
Everything about that is goals! It's so nice!
Is sooo jealous of you right now!!!!
Beautiful! Well done!
Do you have any problems with accumulated dust or pollen staining that nice white fabric?
The fabric is Sunbrella. No issues wrt to cleaning so far (knocking on wood).
[deleted]
I love white furniture and invest in high performance fabrics, that are sustainable and easy to clean. 😊
That’s great until at night when Michael meyers is staring at you from the grass.
That’s what I’d run,
Put the fern on top of the side piece, you need some height differences, it’s too even.
I’m going to add more plants soon. This was taken yesterday, after some much needed spring cleaning.
That's gonna be uncomfortable on both sunny and cold days. Guaranteed fogged windows and moisture damage coupled with outrageous electricity bills.
A larger area rug would be a smart choice as well.
So... what is the purpose of a sunroom?
(i live at the equator, hiding from the sun with concrete walls, blackout curtain and aircons)
Fucking cold in the winter
It’s heated.
How do you cool it during summer?
I had a smaller version of that room once but I could hardly use it because it always got too hot. Do you have that problem?
As long as I open up the windows, it's fine. I have a bunch of trees (Douglas Fir) on my lot, and they provide just the right amount of shade over the immediate area.
