Sunroom Transformation for our AirBNB | Complete BEFORE & AFTER

[@ikyt6365]

Nice fresh look! I recommend a floor lamp near the chairs. Also- rec a full length shelf or tall narrow table behind the pullout sofa . That could hold a lamp and space for a guest to place their phone, book or glass of water if they r sleeping in that space.

[@lindamargolies7759]

I’ve been to a few and there is generally a table with cookies, muffins…water, tea. Perfect spot for a long table under the windows….

[@IreneMesterhazy]

Looks bright and cheery! I like the Omaha books and artwork!

[@ttjohns4821]

I was going to say the same thing. Nobody likes just straight overhead lighting. That room is also begging for one or two plants. A narrow console table under the window with a lamp and a plant.

[@vickinoeske1154]

I think you need a floor lamp behind the 2 chairs. Most people don't like overhead lights. And, if there's a way to have a small lamp or wall sconce by the sofa for people to turn out at night before bed.

[@fridaemilsson8868]

Love what you did to the sunroom but where did the plants go? 😁

[@jenniferl6553]

Try switching the orange and yellow chairs. An old photography lesson is that it's more pleasing to the eye to have your eyes move from left to right (because we read from left to right). Right now the way the chairs are, my eyes keep wanting to move right to left and it feels awkward. Switch them and see how it feels to your eyes :)

[@jennygidluck5497]

The higher back chair should be by the wall and the lower back chair closer to the windows.

[@jenniferl6553]

@@jennygidluck5497 yes

[@Nwladylaura369]

I would prefer the velvet chairs in blue or aqua tones. Not a fan of yellow or orange, but that’s just me. Also maybe a few hanging stained glass pieces for some of the windows.

[@gmw1635]

I’m Not feeling those two chairs for a sunroom

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Congrats on finishing the room. Looks great. Some suggestions: Add aqua, gold and orange or striped coloured cushions to chairs and sofa to mix and match colours. I’d place the chairs against the wall facing the windows with the coffee table in front to allow easier access. The coffee table seems to block movement as is. Also throw some coloured floor cushions or a bench the other side of the coffee table to enable extra seating & eating and game playing on the coffee table. Also hanging plants around the room.

[@lyndapalecek8952]

Such a great functional space.. I am reading some of the posts and agree an additional floor lamp and shelf behind the sofa would be functional additions. The floor lamp could be similar to the nice lamps you added in the bedroom. Beautiful!

[@retiringtiny2294]

The Sun Room Looks Amazing , Great job on all the rooms. I love how you tied in all the colors in each room. Can't wait for you to add some of your plants in the sun room. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@DrPsyc71]

The only comment I would add regarding the decor is that you get pillow stuffers the next size up from the pillow covers Large covers + too-small pillows looks sloppy and worn, even if they are brand new. Bigger pillow + very slightly smaller cover = fluffy and inviting. So, for example if you have 16" covers, you need 18" pillows. Another trick is to wrap the pillows in quilt batting and then putting them in the covers.

[@wendyrehm511]

Looks good! Maybe add more stuffing to the pillows.

[@laurancurtis5669]

YES!

[@LisaRent]

I’m in the process of turning my mom’s house into a vacation rental. Your projects inspire me. Mom still has ideas about how she wants it (she has dementia so a lot of it doesn’t make sense) so I’m trying to balance reality with her expectations. I hope to have it up and running in the next month. Thrifting, FB marketplace, and garage sales have been wonderful.

[@rna8tive881]

Luv that accent wall above the windows...shows off the shape of the ceiling!😁👍

[@lauragreen4899]

So cute. I love that you have a sleepsofa in there. I agree with the need for lamps and a sofa table behind the sofa with a lamp. Lamps make a space cozy. Great job on the whole place.

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

I've been with you since the beginning and I am so proud of you both. 😁🌺🤩

[@sheilasheppard4851]

The coffee table is too large for the space. Try the table in front of the sofa - can be moved when using the sofa as a bed. I agree with swapping the two chairs. Also agree that the artwork would look better hung closer together. Also like the idea of a table behind the sofa for lamps, etc., and a floor lamp at the chairs. Greenery will really make everything pop. I brag on you guys all the time and recommend you to other viewers. So glad for you that you’re nearing the finish line. Congratulations!

[@linguaphile42]

Love all of these, and would also say to lower the artwork -- seems like it's floating up there.

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

I was surprised by how off all of the dimensions look - rugs too small, table enormous, chairs don't match in any way, especially the sizes and shapes. The bones of the room look good but the furniture is shockingly way off. The final result looks like a pile of junk, like they ran out of creativity, energy, and design sense during the final hours.

[@L0U1SE]

Yes it’s massive! Small one or even 2 drink stands would work

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

@@L0U1SE A round table would be great.

[@ttjohns4821]

I agree, it's too high for those chairs.

[@jaznz53]

Add a foam topper for the sofa bed just keep it in the bottom of the linen cupboard where you put the extra blanket/duvet, pillows, sheets and towels. A topper on a sofa bed makes it really comfortable. Add a couple of poofs to use to either put your feet up or kids seating. Put against the window wall by the couch.

[@SometimeAgo65]

Absolutely! Sofa beds aren't very comfortable, so a foam topper is much needed. You would want the guest to me comfortable, or they won't return.

[@alex__andra]

Suggest putting the 4 together on one wall and getting a bigger piece for the other side of the wall, maybe diy a street map mural

[@kristydavis3700]

Great job! Your guests will love the space! Do you have a plan for the overflow guests' things? I'm thinking maybe a few wall hooks and a folding luggage rack?

[@joannrapp137]

Great job. I think having lamp behind 2 chairs would be great also something by the couch.

[@lesliep.1717]

Yes. People sleeping there need a place to put their glasses and phone. Maybe a small shelf?

[@_JanetLouise]

Well done! very smart to add the bed and to deck out the space with comfy seating.

[@jeannieroberts4943]

[@barbkelzenberg2394]

Please add a guest book for your renters to sign. You’ll love reading their comments. Menus from local restaurants, and a list of nearby stores and shopping areas would be helpful. Also, give directions to the nearest Urgent Care. These lists could be hung on the inside kitchen cupboard doors. That way it doesn’t look messy. 🌺

[@jillpackard5305]

Lauren, it looks so fresh and cute! I do agree to put a table behind the sofa and also a floor lamp by the chairs. :)

[@elizabethbertsch3066]

It looks great with new floor and paint. I would have spaced the art differently- but I love the Omaha art! Also, the end of the room with the 2 chairs and table- I would re-orient them together under the art and looking out the windows. Currently the room is disjointed with a cluster at each end. Those windows make an amazing room!

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. The furniture placement is awkward and a disaster waiting to happen with that big honking oversized coffee table that leaves barely enough room to get by. I can already see kids ending up in the ER on vacation getting stitches from splitting a chin open on that table.

[@pattivant4896]

So proud of both of you! You're a great team and do such beautiful and meticulous work/decorating❤😊

I love sunrooms. My son has one and it has 2 window-less openings to the living room. He is free to add metal grated designs or even stained-glass hanging panels. He sets up a dining table in that room for holiday dinners.

[@bettycrouch9252]

Need to put the coffee table in front of the couch

Plants!! Many plants would have made the room even better. Even fake plants would bring more character and life to the room. But I do love what you did!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

we plan to add some!!

[@lindaposta939]

Been reading many comments…need some little night stand or end table for guests to put glasses/phone when they sleep. Maybe something on casters that can be rolled around and multifunctional. But wow what a lot of work…you made this dingy dirty room nice and bright clean and breezy!

[@mlm7598]

Love all you have done. The sunroom reminds me of the sunroom my grandfather had in my moms family home. It was similar and all the windows were amazing. Lots to cover and I always remember ruffled white curtains of thin gauze like fabric and always a breeze blowing them softly. The Air B & B is beautiful. Good luck on it and I am sure everyone will absolutely love it! Blessings

[@sandracorso8292]

I love all of it, but this space is my favorite! Can't wait until you open it up for booking!

[@heyitsmeagain-s1u]

Looks good but the velvet chairs would look better if they were the same style of chair. I would also add a small table in between them for separation. The place is looking great!

[@jadea.2694]

Or at least same chair back height.

[@minnieevans1025]

I must have found your channel around the time you were working on the sunroom. I remembered all the caulking you were doing. Anyway, it's great to see the completion. I love the orange chair! I would have some warm blankets for guests who sleep on the sofa bed as I bet those Nebraska winters could be cold in that room😂 33:04

[@sheilahopwood7262]

I think a table on the side of the couch would be ideal, with either a sconce light or table lamp, for easy reach switch off from the bed at night. A smaller coffee table would be better. And definitely small and tall plants, they really make a room look beautiful. I'm loving all the white walls and the blue 'triangle'.

[@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134]

Please don't make the same furniture placement mistake of cramming everything in the corners not facing the view. It looks like the sofa and chairs are repelled by a magnet. The rugs are too small. Being good at furniture refinishing apparently doesn't translate to good decorating.

we keep the carpet down until we paint the upper wall, ceiling and windows. we use it as our drop cover. then we throw out.

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

A good way to tie the two ends together is to put some throws or pillows that are in the blue colors on the two velvet chairs and put some throw pillows on the sofa in the colors of the two velvet chairs.

[@mcgspare1310]

If people are going to sleep in the sunroom, you may want to add room darkening measures (blinds, curtains, etc.). It's a lot of light in that room. Love the color you painted in the triangle!!

[@BarB2-90Nine]

I just love those chairs and your refinish furniture. I’ve been looking for them ;The velvet chairs, but they are nowhere to be found; but I’m not giving up hope . The Room look, is fabulous …..

[@mjsimm]

The room is fantastic! Just a few suggestions to work towards, first thing is see about getting UV protective glass for your prints, it's more pricey but will keep your prints from fading in such a bright room. I would keep on the lookout for fabrics that have your colours in them. Plaid, floral, any pattern actually plus I wouldn't go for any more that 3 and make cushion covers out of them. I look at the second hand stores for different shapes (round, square, lumbar etc. You can wash them easily and try to find ones with zippers or if you sew but hate to put in zippers use velcro to close them. I agree with the smaller round coffee table and D tables are great for putting against the windows for plants. If you don't want to bother with pillows you could paint the D tables with your colours . Lastly a floor lamp or a "roxton" type lamp table would work fantastic between the chairs. I found one at Sally Ann that "steps" that come down, great for plants, pamphlets, and to set a drink while enjoying the space. Long winded I know.

[@kellysusalla-boyd9355]

I love seeing you do these redo's, especially in Omaha. I have family that lives there. 😊 I think i would have done a small table berwewn the chairs instead of a coffee rable because of space as well as a lamp that offers a light glow for late night arrivals and early morning coffee!!

Love the results! All your hard work paid off. I agree changing the gold velvet chair should be on the wall side and the shorter chair toward the window would look better. i agree you need some lighting, a floor lamp or some wall sconces. I saw some cute wicker wall lamps at Ikea that were like $35. that woud look nice. A small table in the middle like a sofa table would look nice with some candy (snack) and a small light would make it more homey. I think guys did a great job.

You could also add a sofa or daybed to the top of the stairs for extra guests. And have you thought to add a crib or playpen. Or would it make you libel if someone was injured. There’s always recalls on baby stuff. The addition of board games, cards. Maybe mini bar items you could charge for up front. Like a basket of goodies and you could set a menu of items. I know people who have sold antiques out of their B and B to customers. You could do something similar.

[@Maggies87]

98% there! SO impressed! Great work! Can you put casters or slides on the coffee table and put it in front of the sofa? Yes to lamp behind chairs. Light at sofa bed? (wall LED?) or maybe LED strings around walls? Overhead light ok but tends to feel yucky.

[@bseelman67]

Definitely beautiful!!!

[@aj4856]

You need a trunk (doubles as a coffee table) to hold bedding for the pullout.

[@jackiejohnson88]

Love the floors, ceiling fan and paint. Decor needs a bit more “oomph”. Plants, lamps, side table and move the coffee table in front of sofa, and a nice gray on it; switch the chairs for a not-so-heavy” look and add a small round side table. Bring the pictures closer together or do a gallery wall with them and then one large wall art piece and even wall sconces might be nice. I also think some colorful curtains or Roman shades would be nice. The pillow inserts need to be fuller also. As the saying goes “ it’s the details that make the difference.” Best of luck in your endeavors!
