I love a good makeover, not to mention a good sunrooms! So this is one before and after I had to show you.
When Jenna Sue moved into her house, it had a sunroom, but it was pretty blah, as you can see, with beige carpet and vertical blinds.
But it’s boring no more, with new flooring, comfy seating, and lots of beachy blues to cheer the space up. Take a look!
Jenna Sue’s Sunroom Makeover
She got these Brimnes day beds at IKEA.
That metal end table was black, but she spray painted it Valspar’s Exotic Sea.
The new flooring only looks like wood. It’s actually tile, which is more practical for a room like this.
She built the coffee table on wheels herself and says it only took 2 hours, “including waiting for the paint to dry!”
I think her cat might be the best accessory in the room, though:

It’s beautiful! I love blue ceilings! I’ll have to stop over and see all her tutorials. Thanks for sharing with us!
I love this! Everything looks so soft and comfortable – very soothing. I could spend a lot of time in a room like that!
Julia, thank you so much for the feature! Your sunroom is amazing too… I am in love with the roominess and architectural elements. It’s kinda like the lemon-lime version of mine 🙂
Yours makes me wish I had some blue in mine! So pretty. Thanks for letting me feature your room, Jenna Sue! 🙂
Looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Love the room! The floors are great too – We put porcelain tile that looks like wood flooring in our bathroom and its great.
Beautiful job! Love the “wood” tile, I was checking it out at Lowe’s the other day, it has a really great weathered look. It IS a perfect choice for a sunroom. Great makeover.
Love it!! I love painted ceilings!
This one made my day. So creative, summery and fun!

Looks great!! Shaka!!
Gorgeous. I’m obsessed with the white floor length sheers – I’m toying with the idea of putting some on my screened in porch when it’s built in a month or so. However, my husband may have a different opinion. 🙂 Man Cave vs. airy Beach Lounge. However, we are also extending our garage to give him a workshop, so that gives me major leverage on porch decorating!
Love the daybed idea for this room. Also, a coffee table with wheels would be so useful in a sunroom that looks like it’s next to an outdoor seating area where the coffee table might also be used from time to time. Pretty and practical.
So jealous, it’s gorgeous!!
I just got those same floors instaled in my home. LOL
I work in flooring and when they came out I knew I had to have them. 🙂
You can search for my blog Fullerfollies.blogspot.com. We are still not done with the remodel but slowly working on it. I love the sunroom and will borrow those ideas when we redo the FLorida Room next. 🙂
Beautiful ~ very light and airy! Looks like a great room to relax in!
Love it …and the cat !
I like the daybeds too, but I tend to wonder if they are very comfortable. Love the sheers too. I just have a covered patio and am trying to gently suggest netted sheers to help keep the bugs at bay (not working yet). Love the cat too–reminds me of mine that I had to euthanize (miss him). This is a lovely space and thanks for featuring it.
Love, love, love!
So pretty! And I agree about the cat 😉
Amazing before and after! And inspiring as we are about to finally decorate our newly built screened-in porch!
I love the cat! It’s black color in contrast with all the blue and white made for some cool photos!
It is BEAUTIFUL! I love it! AND the cat looks exactly like mine!
What an amazing before and after. I love the blues with the white. They give the room that beach feel.
Everything looks so soft and comfortable – very soothing.
Love it! So light and airy.
Ahhhhh so pretty and inviting. Love the blue and I’m not even a real blue person but I could so do that. Combined with the rough woods it is perfection.

simplicity – nicely done
What a difference! I love all those shades of blue – really gives the room a relaxing feel. Really attractive floor – it looks like wide plank flooring.
What a wonderful make over. Those vertical blinds were really ugly. Love the blue ceiling and the fantastic Ikea beds.
Very pretty. Love the beachy look. The tiles will work as passive solar as well. I do have to wonder about function though, those daybeds are a rear end hazard waiting to happen given nobody can sit in the corner section. Also without a back, difficult to lean back or have options to rearrange. Certainly pretty as a picture, but think I’d wait to look for something more functional, hopefully facing the view/each other vs. the sliding interior door. Maybe it’s used as a pass through space? Or a sunny spot for the cat? I dare say my cats got much more use out of my sunroom then I ever have. Love the blue ceiling, so fresh, I’ve been wanting to do that in my house.
Nice job….sure looks like florida!!
So lovely. And how fun is that table.
Beautiful! What a lovely room! The floor is an awesome alternative to wood. I’ve never seen that! So pretty!

Dang, that is gorgeous! And I did a double take, that totally looks like my black cat in those pics.
This is so beautiful! I wonder if the daybeds are a permanent part of the room- I’d saw the right “arm” of the daybed on the left off (does that even make sense?) to make a comfy corner section if I had a space like that. Nothing like snuggling in a corner section with a good book!
I love how functional this is too- lots of storage with those daybed drawers. You could have a sunroom/family room/game room all in one and keep it clean easily. 🙂
I love it and yes, the cat makes the perfect accessory!
love the cat. looks like my deceased linus 🙁
Love the room! That would be a place I’d spend a lot of time.
this is such a beautiful makeover….love the brightness and clean colors you’ve chosen. great post!
Very well done! It feels like a day at a Gustavian beach, with Marimekko pillows 🙂
That wood-look tile has been around for decades, alternately despised and revered by designers in Florida (where we used to live). It was recently used in a “rustic” bathroom in the 2010 Southern Living design house in Senoia, Ga. and looked completely at home and wonderful there. I love it in this sunroom also— thanks for this post.
This sunroom looks great. love the shades of light blue in the room. I like the cat too, a great edition to the room =) I saw how you mentioned the flooring is actually tiles, where is it from? they look like real wood.
She gives all the source info in her post–click over to her blog to see it. I can’t remember where she got the tile. Love it, though!
It’s very beautiful to be sure. But I see the same mistake in many sunroom make overs. You have a gorgeous view and the furniture faces in. In other words your back is up against the windows. A room has to be lovely from all angles.
It’s hard to sort the good from the bad sometimes, but I think you’ve nailed it. You write very well which is amazing. I really impressed by your post
