When Interior Designer Margie Moss decided to take on the sunroom addition project for Linda and Craig Lynch’s house, she had a lofty task ahead of her: take a limited space and turn it into an bright and lively area that fi t into the Lynch family’s lifestyle. The room is situated in such a way that natural light beams through the six white-trimmed windows and spills into the adjoining rooms. The couch and two dill-colored seats fit snuggly in half of the room, and the white breakfast table and fl oral patterned chairs rest on a colorful striped rug. Moss says the most challenging part of working with a smaller-sized room was creating as much space as possible for family interactions. Moss succeeded in giving the room space and also provided an intimate feel. -B.H.
