I recently finished putting the final touches to the sunroom in our beach cottage in Oceanside. While the large sunroom was going through renovation, I kept my eyes open for great deals on what I can furnish this narrow but long 8 ft x 50 ft space with.
Once the ceiling, walls and floor were painted it was ready for staging. In keeping with my frugal and savvy ways, I either re-purpsosed something I already had by painting it or staining it or I scored the items at yard/garage sales, swap meets, thrift stores, flea markets, estate sales or on Craigslist.
Here's a list of the furniture and decor accessories (shown in photos) plus how much I spent for each item.
Sunroom Entry: (photo above) Total spent: $65
• Vintage drop leaf entry table - $35 Rose Bowl swap meet (re-painted and stained)
• Wooden BEACH sign - $5 Ross • Assorted decorative bottles on table - $10 flea market
• Small paper parasol - $1 yard sale • Assorted wicker basket tote bags - $14 garage sales
