SF Outdoor Spaces Roundup #2: Sunrooms & Porches

Today's Outdoor Spaces Roundup spotlights sunrooms and porches (yesterday we did patios) — quasi-outdoor spaces where lucky folks can enjoy indoor activities while reaping the benefits of sunlight, and perhaps a refreshing cross-draft.

Who can forget AB Chao's Monroe, Louisiana sleeping porch, top? Sunrooms and porches can also function as sitting room, art studio and even shower, as the house tours below llustrate.

Next up: skylights (we know, they're not actually outside, but they're kind of the next best thing for bringing the outside in).

That frame for the hanging platform bed looks awesome. Any idea on what the plans would look like for something such as that?

I would totally love to turn my kitchen into a sunroom with a small kitchenette area. I don't cook all that much, so why not maximize the use I get out of the room! Right now I'm looking at the kitchen "kits" available that include everything and are fitted into the area that's generally taken up by just a sink with cabinets above it.
