How A Sunroom Stacks Up as Compared to A Traditional Home Addition

If you are considering a home addition, you might want to read a few side-by-side comparisons between a new room of glass and traditional home construction. The name “sunroom” itself conjures up an airy, light-filled retreat where families can snuggle into a cozy chair and read, sew, have tea or a cocktail.

Your sunroom is a great location for your Christmas tree because a sunroom's structure really helps to showcase your tree's beauty. By placing your Christmas tree in your sunroom, you ensure that your tree's decor can be seen and admired from the inside and outside of your home. Below are seven tips to help you keep your Christmas tree fresh and beautiful throughout the holiday season. 1) Select a prominent but safe location for your Christmas tree.  The journey to a beautifully decorated sunroom begins with your selection of a safe location for your tree.
