Let the sun shine in.
What’s not to love about a room with three walls of windows?
Homework, tv time and relaxing – this room serves triple duty.
Zone 1 – Homework
Forget desks. Take two cheap dining tables (these are from Ikea) and put them together.
Instant “no fighting because each twin has her own space” homework zone.
Text books, loose leaf paper, #2 pencils and highlighters that were once scattered on the floor now have a home.
I searched high and low for shelves for these narrow walls.
Zone 2 – TV Time
Comfy couch and ottoman – check.
TV – check.
Map wall and vintage dresser turned world’s coolest media cabinet – check.
Zone 3 – Relaxing
This is my zone!
A big comfy chair and a furry throw, a weathered desk and some shelves to keep the clutter at bay are all I need.
A second leaning shelf – this one is all mine.
See my entire house tour here.
The Deets:
2 White Desks – Ikea (dining tables)
Blue Media Cabinet
Vintage school map
2 yellow desk chairs, my desk, flamenco dancer lamp, black coal bin – vintage
Ottoman, pillows, rug – Homegoods
Floral chair, sofa – bought many moons ago
Thanks Lamps Plus for the leaning shelves but I only speak the truth. See my full disclosure policy here.
You’ve packed a lot of function and comfiness in that room! LOVE it!!! Such a bright and cheery place to be.

Maybe I would have done better in school if I’d had such a nifty keen place to study like your kids! Yeah, right. OK, still, I love this room!
So bright and organized! I love the fun color choices. When I showed these pictures to my daughter, she begged me to start making some changes to our basement rec room, where she and all her friends hang out, a la the Eclecticaly Vintage Sunroom! Thanks for some much needed inspiration!
THis is beautiful! I love it down to every last detail. What I wouldn’t give for a room like this! Great job:)
This is seriously one of my FAVORITE spaces ever, Kelly!! I can just picture you all enjoying it every day… awesome. 🙂
xo Heidi
I love this space! It is so eclectic but pulled together. The map behind the TV is genius.
what a happy space! Love all the colour 🙂
I might just have to go back to school so that I can come and do my homework in your awesome space! I love it, Kelly … full of color and function! Must share!
What a bright, happy, fun room. I love it
I love this room! I would gladly do homework here. The colors are so bright and welcoming. Great job!
This room is AWESOME!! I think that’s the name of zone 4…the awesome zone! 🙂

Wow, Kelly!!! This room is so much fun and talk about serving you well! Incredibly functional but so interesting as well! That lamp!?! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I don’t think I would ever leave this room. Incredible job! 😉 Jesse @ Scout & Nimble
This is such an awesome room. I love every detail in here. Love the globe collection. I would have loved to do homework in this space! Don’t be surprised if I visit and suddenly that Brazilian (?) dancer girl lamp is AWOL. That is da bomb!
Oh now I am craving a sunroom again! Lovely post, and of course, the painted pieces!
Lovely room! I LOVE all the light and you’ve utilized all the space perfectly!!! Love the leaning shelves too!~~Angela
Love the symetry………….it feels so well balanced and relaxing, LOVE & BLESSINGS TO YOU/YOURS
for a relatively limited amount of space, you totally maximized it’s full potential beautifully Kelly! Love all zones!!!! Practical and perfectly beautiful!
I am in love with this space! It’s so cheery and colorful. I think I would spend lots of time there.
Kelly,
What a great space, it is so bright and inviting. Good way to keep the kids doing their homework. Great color in this room as well.

Oh what a fun sun room! So bright and colorful…just love how your mind works! Jealous of your white dog on the shelf. Is he an antique bank? I really need to give ours an upgrade. My husband calls it the “Kerr cave” because it’s where I keep my canaries, plants and crafting supplies. Love sitting out there on my big over stuffed couch with the sunshine, birds singing, and a stitching project in my hands! It’s painted a soft blue now but? I’ve been tempted to go a creamy yellow. Maybe a trip to Home Depot is in our future. You are always an inspiration Kelly!
Your “Kerr Cave” sounds beautiful Kerry! That bank isn’t old – it’s from Target! I got them for my girls for Valentine’s day.
Thank you so much! I’m going to have to check out Target a little more closely. He’s just so cute!
I adore this room on every level! I am curious about the black metal (?) painted piece to the left of your desk with the sheet music on top, looks like a bin of some type. I have never seen anything like that, what is it? Or more likely, what was it. 🙂 Thanks Kelly!
Thanks Beth! That black thing is an old metal coal bin. It’s great storage for my girls “stuff” that accumulates like bunnies!
Thank you so much for sharing the info, always good to learn something new and love that piece!
Wow, what a great space. The perfect room for creativity, relaxation and family time. I love all the vintage elements and the color mix. Truly creative and inspiring.
Kelly I love this room SO much. It’s the happiest room in all of blogland!
Lovely Kelly! The pop of electric blue is gorgeous! I love the little touches of vintage (of course) that you’ll incorporated, makes it feel so warm and cosy.
I absolutely love it – the colors are fabulous and it looks so bright and cheerful! Those leaning shelves look great and I especially love that big basket on the lower shelf – where did you find it? Please keep sharing your home – it’s really inspirational.
I love this space! It’s so cute! I want a sunroom like this!!
Who is the budding flutist in the house? I’m a retired band director and professional flutist. Good to see kids are still practicing!
Hi Sandra – one of my twins plays the flute and the other the clarinet – it’s music to my ears!
I so love that room Kelly!!!…A room with so much purpose…a truly beautiful and well planned room…love every detail of the room!.
I LOVE this room! The colors are so fun and the homework area almost makes me want to go back to school…almost. Love it all.
What a neat space. I have similar leaning shelves that we bought from Lowes a few years ago. Love all the unusual lamps. Thanks for sharing.
Kelly – it is all so awesome! I absolutely love it… such fabulous little touches everywhere that make it unique and custom- I love the leaning shelves, all the globe and the big map… the tables as desks mixed with mod chairs – the little corner for you. You have such an amazing talent for seamlessly blending different eras and styles and making it work together perfectly! Love all the colour!!
thanks friend!!
I LOVE the yellow chairs. I can’t get enough yellow! I want to find a dresser to turn into a tv cabinet because we need the storage space but my husband doesn’t want to give up our ikea monstrosity. It’s the famous ikea black/brown and 3 pieces and is seriously killing my wanna be beach vibe for the family room.
He is going to be spending 4 months down in California for work this fall. Maybe I can just make him think a vintage yellow cabinet was always there 🙂
Men are so easy to trick – do it, do it, do it (peer pressure)!!
Such a fun and colorful room! I love all the vintage touches.
Love the room and the colors! What a fun place to hang out! Those yellow chairs are ADORABLE!
Happy day to you!

Your sunroom looks fabulously funky! Love the bright colors and the little vintage touches (one might say they are eclectically vintage touches). My favorite is the children’s desk chairs. They look comfy, yet fun.
Hey Kelly! I recognize that map. It’s the one that hung in my 5th grade classroom for too many years to count! And the chairs came right out of it, too! Hehe! Maybe I should have been slipping some of that stuff home with me! Joking aside, I LOVE your bright and happy sunroom, and it shines with your originality! Makes me want to turn our screened porch into a sunroom!
This is SUCH a great space – I love every detail. It’s so sunny and cheery, too. Pinning! 🙂
Kelly, this is such a great room – the details are all wonderful and the colors are fantastic! Thanks for sharing with us and pinning! Have a wonderful week!
I love this space so much Kelly! I’m still crushing on your gorgeously painted media cabinet and those homework desks with the yellow chairs are fab!
Oh how I wish I had a room with that much light!!! Such an awesome space 🙂
I am in love with this space Kelly!!!!

I love the bowling trophy, and I have the owl! You gave me some great ideas here…as usual!
I’m a big fan of multipurpose spaces. You’ve done a lovely job of making this room not only functional, but fun and lively (just like you!)
As always, I love your use of color and mix of new with vintage. Great style!
And it goes without saying how much I love Lamps Plus!!
Beautiful room, love all the color and the way you utilized the space!
You packed lots of punch into that space with a perfect mix pops of colour and natural light – what I love about the space is how the outside vistas seem to “seamlessly” blend with the inside vintages – you are lucky to have such a canvas to work with. The multi-functions of the space are wonderful too. Well done. 🙂
So fresh and colorful….love it!
My brother suggested I would possibly like this web site.
He was totally right. This put up actually made my day.
You cann’t consider simply how so much time I had spent for this information! Thank you!
