I had been talking back and forth with a few of you about enclosing our lanai over the last 9 months, asking for suggestions on contractors, etc. I thought some of you might like to see the final product. We were able to reuse our coolaroo blinds by resizing them ourselves which saved us a boatload of money. I also did some thrift shopping here and there and found some great sales and some furniture on TOTV.

Nice work! I love rooms that let the outside in.
You would laugh if you could see me trying to make the pictures bigger on my iPad. I really like your window treatments and I can't tell for sure if the fabric has a flame stitch pattern. I think it does. Flame stitch is one of my favorites. Traditional and modern at the same time. Anyway, the soft framing of the view while letting in all that light looks lovely.
I like the calm colors you chose, too. Nice work!

The contractor was Brian Terry Vinyl. He did the bird cage and all of the structural work and prepared the room for drywall. I subbed out the drywall and tile (Alexander Tile and Marble) and moldings (Trimworks) myself. The lanai floor stain was by Cost for Less. Very happy with everything. It may have taken a little longer than some contractors but I went with them because they had a very good rating on BBB and on Angie's list. I interviewed a few others but lack of references made me not choose them. These are low E double pane tinted windows.

:posting: Now, I am on my laptop or tablet or whatever this thing on my desk is called. But I STILL cannot see if that pattern is flame stitch. (sometimes written as flamestitch)
Flamestitch (flame stitch, ohhhhhh, the angst, the angst over which one) looks kind of like the Dow-Jones Average.
The pattern can be in many versions, but the zig and the zag are always uneven, like flames. Here is one example.......

I can't tell what your pattern is. It could be a chevron design, which is more even. Or it might be flame stitch. Or it might be a modern nod to flamestitch.
But whatever it is, it looks great. And now I must get out of here before I start going on and on about other patterns like herringbone and houndstooth and windowpane and paisley........
Anyway, you dun good. :)

Very nice; ours was finished the week before Thanksgiving; Magellan did a fantastic job. We really like sitting out here with our view of our new landscaping (by Village Palms) and the golf course; it makes us feel like we're back in our 5th wheel with the slides out.

Love the way it all came together!! Everything from your tile job to your curtains look great!!! Glad we could help make this room come together for you!!! Thank you again for your business!
Thanks so much! The floor is one of my favorite parts of the room. You guys (Alexander Tile and Marble) did a great job for us on the floor and we couldn't be happier. We get so many compliments on the beautiful floor.
