Before
After
So a couple of snafus in the room. I'm still waiting on the little ottoman I bought but I knew that wouldn't arrive in time. I did end up getting the brackets in time, but they were in a different color. I actually prefer the color to the rods. I put them up anyhow and I kind of don't mind the two tone thing going on. I may just leave it. The curtains are another story but I'm too tired to get into it. Needless to say they may be getting modified at a later time. I'm so glad I switched fabrics though. The original contender was a complete fail. Also, not on my list are the hideous jalousie windows which will be going bye bye but financially it wasn't in the budget as of yet. Soon though, very soon. We're going to get custom french doors made to go out onto the porch. That's a story for another time though.
Well, that's another room I can cross off my list. Yes!!!! Words can't even describe how much I love this room. Coffee in here on the weekends is bliss.
Now for the deets:
-Coffee table and end tables from West Elm
-Curtain Fabric Thom Filicia Pennock Lizard ( I found it for a steal on ebay though)
-Pool blue pillows from Pottery Barn
-Pillows on the chairs in Schumacher Imperial Trellis on the face
-The faux fur rug is from Etsy seller Not Too Shaggy
Now I'm off to work. I hope I'll be able to sneak away and start checking out everyone's rooms. If not it will have to wait until tonight. I'm so excited!!! One Room Challenge Guest Participants.
it looks gorgeous! those book shelves are AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love love love the couch and the bookshelves!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paige! I was lucky to adopt that couch. It's so comfy.
DeleteTiffany. You and your room makeovers are amazing! See? I put the pressure on and you came through. :) The room itself is gorgeous but the design you brought into it is so pretty, light, infused with personality and interesting. Your bookcases are incredible, how one side turns and the other has that slender nook. So much character!
ReplyDeleteThose book shelves ... LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mila! The bookshelves really make the room.
DeleteOh Tiffany, I literally gasped! You are so talented my friend, and I always LOVE your one-of-a-kind designs! It's truly stunning - timeless yet chic!!
ReplyDeleteTiffany!!!! Dying, it's a completely different space! So airy & inviting I would never leave this space, except to luxuriate in your insane master bath!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jana! It's my new favorite room in the house. I never want to leave it either!
DeleteLove this room Tiffany! It is full of charm and personality. I like the two-tone bracket and rod! The built-ins look fabulous and actually make me want to sit and grab a book. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany...I love this sun porch! So pretty and inviting. I am so jealous... I would love to have such a beautiful room for drinking my morning coffee :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Wanda! It really is so peaceful in there.
DeleteUMMM.. Beautiful! That bookeshelf, the windows, furniture, brass... ALL of it. SO GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing space. You've created a modern Downton Abbey and it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!!! I love what Amanda said...a modern Downton! The light in this room makes my heart sing! xx
ReplyDeleteI adore this!!
ReplyDeleteOh Tiffany, your sun porch is an absolute dream! I love how you added all those bookcases and everything you placed in the room, decor or furniture-wise, just lovely! One of my faves so far, truly.Congrats and CHEERS to us for another room done!
ReplyDeleteI love that you kept the charm and did not do any crazy updates! I really really love what you did here and I hope someday that I can own a home with this much pizzazz and charm.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!! I love everything!.... the stencilled tub, the tile and the sconces in your masterbath and the sunroom is so elegant and timless. Great choice in prints, I admire how you can pull it all together! Now you can sit back and enjoy :)
ReplyDeletegorgeous and I love all the color and light!
ReplyDeleteSo timeless and classy... Well done!
ReplyDeleteI was struggling trying to finish my nursery, you are a superwoman with your 2 rooms makeover ;) Congratulations!!!
your room came out absolutely stunning. enjoy your coffee!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things in this room that I love (and am kinda jealous about! ;)). The windows are amazing! So much light! And I love all the shelves and the rolling ladder. I love the print on the couch. You did such a great job pulling it all together. It turned out so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tilisa. The ladder really makes me happy. I've wanted one since I was a kid.
DeleteHoly cow, what an amazing space! Those floors, those windows, those bookshelves. Incredible!
ReplyDeleteOh how I've missed you and your magic! Stunning as usual! PLEASE promise to start blogging more regularly!!!
ReplyDeleteDenise
Ha! I'm going to try to get back into it. Slowly...
DeleteWhat an absolutely stunning space! I can't even believe that you were able to create two absolutely spectacular rooms! I bow down to you! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteTricia // Suburban Bitches
Ha! Thanks. Where there's a will...
DeleteGAH!!!! This room is SO meant for Elle Decor!!! What a lovely job! I love it all - the mix is just perfect, and the space... No kidding. I would never leave. It is gorgeous. Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Stephanie! I can't say I love it enough times.
DeleteI love it! The quality and details of old architecture are hard to beat. We live in an 1880s Colonial/Victorian mish-mash. :) It need work done on everything too.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a blog article on my favorite ORC rooms, and I really love this room and your house is really relevant for my readers. Could I use one of your photos? If you have a specific one that you prefer, I could use that. If not, I would love to choose one. I intend to publish the article tomorrow. (Thursday)
Thank you for considering my request.

Of course, I'm really flattered. Choose whichever picture you like the best. Thanks!!
DeleteThank you, Tiffany!
DeleteI'm still catching up on all the "challenge' rooms and just got to yours.... what a treat!! I love it. I did our Library, so to speak and I am in awe of your bookcases and ladder!! Old houses are the best. I feel your struggles tho. We restored an old home ( part 1896, part 1904 ... that gives you a clue right there doesn't it?? It was amazing one day and straight out of Money Pit movie the next!!) years ago. I still miss that home and all of its charm, quirks and drafty windows I the wintertime :) I am going to enjoy going back through your blog and seeing your home projects. Well done on your Sunporch/Library. I just want to sit in there and soak it all in.... and black and white checked floors?? I die!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mollie! I know what you mean about the money pit thing. It's never ending.
DeleteI've followed your other ORC rooms and always saw a sneak peak of those windows. I coveted them and now covet them even more (I'm sure I wouldn't covet all of the work you did to get them to where they are today). This room looks fantastic! Since I'm a book lover I really appreciate those book shelves. I'm kind of liking the two tone look with the brackets/rods (happy accident?) and I also like the curtains/ fabric. I just know that that couch is sink down in comfortable... sigh. Well done. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! The couch is so comfy I never want to leave:)
DeleteThis is such an inspiration! We have a sunroom that is very similar. I wanted to add some curtain panels to the corners and now I know how great it will look! Would you be so kind as to tell me where the corner curtain rods are from?
ReplyDeleteThey are from http://www.antiquedraperyrod.com/. I got them through Calico but it looks like you can get them direct. Probably cheaper too. I wish I had done that..sigh.
DeleteThank you, you are so sweet to respond! I wanted to insert some pics here of my sunroom, but couldn't figure out how. It is smaller than yours, but I want to put some stationary panels in the corner like you did. How wide are the curtains? Are there 2 separate curtains in each corner or one piece that wraps around? What are the specific rods that you used, please?
DeleteAlso, what is the length of the corner rod on each side, please?
DeleteSorry. I can't respond directly to you because your address comes up as no reply. The curtains are 1 and 1/2 width, and there is only one panel in each corner. The length of the rods are 2 ft each connected by an elbow. The company is ADP but I can't remember the exact hardware. The rods are antique brass but the brackets are antique gold I think. I liked the gold better than the brass, it's brighter and a prettier look overall. Email me if you have any more questions. Thanks!
DeleteThis space is amazing! Who wouldn't want to hang out in this space all day? You created such a stunning space!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin, I totally want to hang out in there all day. Darn work!
DeleteI love the windows in this space and could spend hours curled up reading. Simply beautiful!
