It's built off the back of our garage, and has both east and south facing sides that are really wonderful in the summer time. It also has a covered, open deck area just outside the entry door into the screen room.
I really love the deck area because it faces south and receives ample sunshine from morning through mid-afternoon. That's where I place my comfortable lawn chair, and often doze for a bit while the dogs are enjoying a beautifully sunny, summer day in the yard.

Wicker and plants seem to be pretty popular screen room decor. |

I definitely think I'm going to go with some curtains. How cheery and cozy! |
Wow! All these ideas have really started the wheels going in my head. I can't wait to get started making something nice out of our screen room this year!
What projects have you most excited to jump into summer?
