Oh you Loechners! Love the major projects (hello window seat) to the little touches (hanging herbs! LOVE IT). What a way to enjoy your big, beautiful back yard. Great job on making it flow so beautifully with the rest of your home.
Thank you sweet Jess!
Love that you went with light woods and fabric to keep it light and bright in there. I'm very jealous of all the seating. Definitely have a party (but with all that white, maybe no red wine!) Beautiful as expected
Ha – I know – red wine could be a mess. But all of the cushions are slipcovered, so we should be good!
Wow, Erin. It looks like a breath of fresh air! Bravo. I love all the natural light & that ottoman.
Thanks, Robin! The ottoman is a West Elm find – it's perfect for that space!
I would love this room for creative freedom, you have made the house have a personality of its own. Amazing! Your truly multi-talented Erin!
Ah, thank you Bryan!
YOU GUYS. This looks amazing. I'm moving in.
DO IT! Come over RIGHT NOW!
Well, you and Ken did it again! Cool & airy, yet, warm and welcoming. You two ROCK!
Thanks, Dana!
Congrats on finishing such a big project – it looks absolutely fantastic. Enjoy your time spent hanging out in there!
Oh we certainly will – for the next 2 months until baby comes, at least!
Thank you!
Just beautiful….it has been an exciting adventure. Are we going to see the baby's room or did I miss that?
Actually, we're not quite finished with the baby room, sadly! I'll be posting it on designforminikind.com, though!
It is BEAUTIFUL Erin! I absolutely loooove it~

It looks amazing. Congrats on finishing the project!

Thank you!!
When I find an article that gives me reason to use my brain, it really impresses me. You’re article gives readers a reason to think even long after it’s read.
Love, love, love it Erin! Such a peaceful and bright space. And is it silly that I can picture a Christmas tree in there this winter?
Awesome job!
Not silly at all, Mandy – we're totally planning to host our Christmas parties in this space!
You're remodeling budgets are totally unrealistic. I remodeled my house and there'e no way you could do any of the remodeling at the prices you state. My experience is that costs are at least twice the numbers you portray.

Hi!! Have just discovered your blog as I'm in the final stages of completing TWO 10×10 sunrooms — looking for colors!!
So by now you've probably found your antique ladder; but if not, I found TWO at Goodwill ($10.00 ea) and am using one in each room. In the "dining room" the ladder will serve as the light fixture – rope-hung wine glasses, each holding a candle. In the second sunroom, the longer ladder will hold baskets and crates, with the shorter ladder affixed to the wall, which will have pegs to hang outdoor wear. Hoping to be done in a month!!!
