Final Days of Summer: Great House Plans with Sunrooms

Published at August 26 2024 by JFord

The beginning of the school year always makes me more aware that my wonderful summer days are coming to an end. Fall and winter are coming and that means that I need to enjoy the last of the summer days before they are gone. One of the things that I enjoy the most, and I got this from my grandmother, is enjoying a nice cup of coffee on a summer morning and watching the sun come up. It’s a simple thing, but it just brings me so much joy.

I actually get up early every morning. My husband has to be at work before the sun rises so I am usually awake about the time that the graveyard shift is getting off of work. I get to enjoy my coffee and wake up slowly every morning before the kids get up. I hoard this time to myself. This is when I get to read my books and catch up on my tv shows. It’s also the time when I get some peace and quiet. I just wish I had a sunroom on our house to enjoy the sunrise.

My husband and I have actually talked about closing in the back porch and making it into either a screened in porch or closing it in completely and turning it into a sunroom. I would enjoy either one of those ideas, but a sunroom appeals to me more because I don’t like being cold.
