Homey

So I am on a mission to make our 3 season porch feel more homey - more like another functional room in the house, rather than a random storage space off the back of the house. It really is a great space and we have actually come to love being out there, but it is definitely in need of some TLC.

We've gotten a good start on the process, by purchasing some patio furniture

And also by adding some other pieces to room, that didn't previously have a place in our house yet. Overall it's starting to look a lot better, but it still feels like kind of an unfinished hodgepodge.

My most recent attempt at making this room more homey was to add some window treatments. But given the unique size of the windows, that task proved to be much more difficult than I had anticipated. Working on a frugal budget and limited extra wall space, this is what I came up with

 What do you guys think? I wanted something neutral and natural - something to make the space feel like another room of the house, but also to bring the outdoors in and maintain the true identity of the room. I wanted the window treatments to accent the windows and view, not take away from them.

We are actually hoping DID to get some painting done in this room today. I want to bring a lighter more earthy color to the walls - we're planning for a very light green, with white trim. EDIT: We did get the painting done and the above photo features the room with freshly painted light green walls and white trim!!!

And eventually I would like to bring a more natural color outdoor carpet into the space as well.
