The sun parlor or sun room becomes a common feature in new homes, evolving from a porch into a bright living space. Enclosed porches with glass, French doors, and wide casements link to living and dining rooms, enabling year round use and easy indoor outdoor transitions. Bright colors, washable finishes, tiled floors, and painted wood or wicker furniture create a cheerful, easy to clean room suited for various occasions.
The article notes a shift from wooden clothes posts to aluminum steel reinforced with concrete in backyards. The new posts are nonrotting and do not require painting, are removable to keep lawns clear, and feature steel sockets with dirt guards. Posts sit flush with ground for mower access and include a driving cap for secure fit.
