Sun Room Complete!

The sun room is done!! We were really good weekend warriors and finished this whole room.  A reminder where we started...

The day we bought the house


How it has looked for the past 9 months..

We bought a ton of carpet tiles to lay down over the terracotta floor.  We decided this would be a good option since this is an indoor/outdoor room.  It's the only good way out to the deck and the yard, so it will get a lot of traffic.  This way, we can replace tiles as needed rather than having to replace installed carpet.  We also liked that the tiles won't damage the original floor in case we ever want to go back to that.

Ready to start!

We marked out the center of the room, laid 4 tiles in the middle, then worked our way out.  We ended up with A LOT of tedious cuts along the edges since the room is not exactly square.  Luckily, I am married to an architect and a perfectionist who pulled out his T square and carpenter's square to make perfect cuts (yes, literally).




And, drum-roll....

I'm still not really sure what to do with the hideous A/C unit.  We do use it in the room, but something needs to be done with it.  That's for another day though! The squares photographed kind of funny.. you really can't see much of a variation in the squares. Here's a close-up of the pattern:


BUT, the big test? Did Moses like it? We'll let him decide :)
