My sister got a new house down in florida, shes renovating it now.

It's a mess though. But she has a huge kitchen area with one of the walls being nearly all window. And then we laid heavy tile down while I was down there.

That sun heats the floor up a LOT and its on it all day. It's not so much a problem right now, but I see that being a major pain in summer down there.

We talked about it and she agreed, but she honestly doesn't have the money to get an awning, most of her materials she got on clearance and what she didn't get there she got used or literally dug out of the trash.

But any ideas other than hoping to luck into a perfectly sized awning that passes for a girls tastes? The worse part is is that window is all you can see as you pull in the drive way, so I'd say shes going to be even more picky about it.
