Sunroom

we're thinking of adding a sunroom but have no idea where to begin. of course, we want something affordable yet not cheesy. another option is having part of our kitchen under the a small sunroomed area. has anyone had this type of renovation or design? what are the pitfalls? i'm also concerned about heating/ac costs it might add as it would be a room well-used through 4 seasons.

thanks

I had a south facing sunroom that while not insulated, had a fan and many windows could be open for cross ventilation. Guess what? We almost never used it. It was boiling hot in the summer, horribly cold in the winter.
My advice: insulate it well, and add proper heating and cooling if you want to enjoy it.
Good luck.
