I was perusing through some of the amazing before and after tours over on the Better Homes & Gardens website recently (ah, the inspiration!) when I ran across a gorgeous porch makeover. While my screened-in porch is certainly not BHG worthy, I do know how fun it can be to create an outdoor living space like this. You feel like you get an extra room added on to your house!
Here's the BHG sun porch makeover tour!

Things I love in this room... the turquoise + yellow roman shades... the window seating... the layered rugs... it's all so delicious and perfect for a sun porch!
The bar cart in the room is absolute perfection! I'll take a sparkling water with lime, please, on the rocks.
To see more photos of this beautiful sun porch and for more information about the room (including how that beautiful roman shade was actually a DIY project!) check out BHG's article here.
And just because it's fun to revisit, here are the before and afters of my sun porch makeover!

Thanks so much for posting this! We're in the planning phase of glassing in our (sad, sad) screened in porch to make a sunroom. This provided lots of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove the turquoise and orange color scheme...and that awesome bar cart would get a LOT of use in our house :/
ReplyDeleteLove the beams and big windows in the BHG porch!
ReplyDeleteThis is a dream project of ours. I love the BHG color scheme. Uh oh, I'm getting ideas, and that means lots of work for the hubby.
ReplyDeleteI know you're selling your home, but I absolutely love it and all of the character it has. You guys have done an amazing job updating it! I have a sunroom that needs a lot of work. Thanks for sharing these pictures as inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! Love the colors in that porch -- I'd die to have an enclosed outdoor space like that. Yours is absolutely charming and a great selling point for your house!

What a beautiful porch! I have seriously thought about painting our ceiling a blue hue!
ReplyDeleteLove both spaces!! You did an awesome job! I seriously wish I wasn't so afraid of color. I would love to do the pops of orange and blue that BHG used!
ReplyDeleteWOW this has to be one of my favorite makeovers. Love all the deatils you've added into the space. Every inch of the room is so well planned and designed. Great job Michelle :) You are such a great role model for us :)
