The extra long weekend has been fantastic for finishing off the sunroom. Dare I say it? It is almost finished.
We removed the large bookcase which previously lived in this section of the room. It did not work at all in this space but it was worth the try. It is currently in our downstairs 'gimp' room housing the boys' toys.
We are going to build a bookcase for the separate study to keep our books behind closed doors. Bookshelves on display never look great when our kids are part of the equation. We are paring down in the main living areas.
The walls in the sunroom will be kept free to hang art instead.
Jason also re-hung the study door to open on the right rather than the left. The right hand side is the smaller section of the wall. It will allow better use of the space without a cumbersome door opening onto where our furniture is usually placed.
Sometimes these small changes make all the difference.
Anyway, one more coat of paint on the back and side wall plus two coats of gloss white on the door and we will be nearing the finish line.

Lookin' good! It's amazing the number of people that never think to hang a door the other way. I've suggested it to clients in the past and they look absolutely amazed. I mean, really, it's not rocket science! Now if Jason could get a 5 day weekend every week, just imagine the progress he would make.

It'll be magnificent - such a bright and fresh space. White makes all the difference. I'm saving up to visit and see it in person.
ReplyDeleteHaving just left Qld, sob, i can only imagine how fantastic this is looking in the flesh. I have never really been to Brisbane before, i loved it. My husband lives there (i'm in Canberra) & now highly consider his bachelor pad my new holiday home. Can not get enough of the Queenslander style, we'll incorporate it in the homestead we're building in country ACT/NSW shortly. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your finished wall of windows and am going to show my husband what a few new fittings would look like. He always claims he can't find any that would look any good! Rubbish, I say! Your new glass is very classy too.
ReplyDeleteIts looking great, I swear you guys never rest, there is constant progress at your place...Good on ya!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great! I love that room.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that I now know someone else who has a 'gimp' room. A-M xx
ReplyDeleteStill can't believe what a huge difference those windows make, everything is looking fantastic. Can't wait to see the furni back in place.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice and fresh! Does Jason ever relax?
ReplyDeleteLooks great, nice and bright! Mimi xx
ReplyDeleteQueenslanders+gloss paint=fabulous.Mr CH has to change a few doors around as well,groan,groan.Looking forward to the furnished pic.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when small changes make a huge difference. I find that these changes are often the ones that make you say "now why didn't we do that ages ago". Everything looks like it is coming along nicely - look forward to the final reveal. Michelle
ReplyDeleteWhite and bright! What a beautiful space with all those pretty windows. Clever move with the door.
