We want it look like it is part of the original house and not a "Florida" room or porch that has been enclosed. We have nothing against a glassed-in Lanai. We drive around and saw many we liked, but we are not "outdoor" people and plan to use the room as a game/tv room.

So, my questions:

1. Could anyone that has a finished to match the house lanai post some photos so we can see how others have.

2. Ballpark estimates. I have no idea, I expect it is roughly the same price. My guess is, and it is a guess for a two wall with split air would be about $15,000? Less would be better
I think then it would be called a "sunroom". I love sunrooms.

What would make it feel bigger too is to have the interior ceiling lifted.
