Three season porch - do you have one?

Yesterday, the flooring people came and installed the vinyl plank flooring. Today, the guy came and installed the shoe molding, painted the trim around the windows (semi-gloss), and painted the door with gloss. All white. The reason I chose white is because I can use any color combination in there. The next few days, they will wrap up the rest of the work. I started end of May, so it took a little bit over a month. I am sending a snapshot of one angle of the room. The right side is the same and has the door.

By the way, the sound in the room echoes beautifully, so I might play music in here.

Now, I have a favor to ask you. If this were your sunroom, how would you furnish it? Think about furniture, carpeting, paintings, etc. I have no clue where to begin. I do plan to put my plants in here, though. Maybe grow some seedlings. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If you have any links to share, that would also be appreciated!

I can either use what furniture I have now (mostly dark!), or go all out and buy new lighter furniture (that will take time, though). I do have some plastic chairs I've used outside that I can bring in for now. Note, the sun has not reached the house yet, which means the room is cool in the mornings. You can probably tell I'm feeling excited.

Now I would love to see a pic with your houseplants in there. If later you get one of what it is like in winter that would be fun to see too but I suspect that is the season you’ve excluded here? If so does that mean you don’t leave houseplants here over winter. What a nice space to work/play in.

Thanks, @MarkD!
The sunroom is a four-season room, and has a mini-split that keeps the temperature controlled at 65. So I will be able to grow plants in there during the winter (I hope). So far, so good.

I just took a few pictures this evening, around 5:45 pm, so the sun is setting. This is the south facing side. The lemon
tree is on the floor. I need to replant it. The other plant on the floor is bamboo. The geranium and miniature rose plants finally flowered.

Thank you! What a great venue for you to do your artwork in.

Think I see a begonia among the others. A favorite of mine.
