Sunrooms are a LOVELY way to start or end your day.

My folks have a sunroom. Mother loves to redecorate it every season. Right now everything plays off a mint green chest used as a side table. They have coffee there in the mornings, tea in the afternoons and watch the birds frolic in the birdbath from the large windows in the evening.

Sunrooms are the perfect room to fill with earth-tones and greenery. You could start with a frugal painted concrete floor or go high end with a gorgeous san diego granite floor. Both are so easy to clean up. You don’t have to worry about a pot overflowing when you water it – it won’t seep in – water just wipes up. Granite, however, will last you a lifetime, something a painted floor just can’t do.

Add in a wicker couch and a couple of side chairs, some throw pillows and choose from colorful San Diego Bedspreads as a toss (for a chilly day). Play off the colors and choose a complimentary design. Sunrooms are meant to be fun!

You can add a couple of whimsical side tables like a stack of vintage fruit boxes, all the plants you can squeeze in and you’ve set up a sunroom that’s sure to start your day off with a smile. (Or end your evening watching the sun go down all from the comfort of your ‘indoor’ room!)

Is your sunroom too hot in the afternoon? You could add a gorgeous complimentary custom San Diego Window Shades to the offending windows. Shades come in so many styles these days that you’ll be sure to find something that catches your fancy.

Don’t be afraid to ‘go out on a limb’ when planning a sunroom. They’re meant to be fun – and relaxing!

kitchen sink

Yes, that’s my kitchen sink.

My OLD kitchen sink.

I set it atop some cement blocks and added a water hose to the inlet hole. The drain just drains down onto some mulch then down the hill towards the herb bed.

Is this not a great way to reuse your old sink?

This way you can rinse off your veggies and herbs before you head into the house!

I decided that the kitchen needed a little upgrade and an undermount kitchen sink was just the ticket. You can tell, the old one was REALLY old!!!

There are tons of choices today in undermount kitchen sinks, so much that you might have a little trouble choosing the right one for you!

They’re very affordable. When you buy a new sink online you can save hundreds! Check out their new line, especially if you’re dying to use the old one in the garden!

Hawaii has a great plant diversity. Any trip to Hawaii should include some of the parks just to view the exotic plants that you’ll not find just anywhere.

The allspice tree is planted in many of the Hawaiian parks. On the larger islands you’ll find banana passion fruit and look for a cinnamon tree. There’s coffee of course, and guava and some unusual species too, like java plums, and lilkoi.

You’ll be intrigued by the macadamia nut trees and mangos, mangos everywhere! Hawaii must be part heaven.
