Sunrooms

Question

I am looking for design ideas and window suggestions for a sunroom we are building next year.  I would love to see pictures of other people's sunrooms, and their suggestions on how to do it right.

To me a sun room needs to have operable windows...I have been working in some older homes where the windows were painted shut and a mix of non-operable ones.  For the space to be 'usable' you need to be able to keep it at a comfortable temperature.  Balancing solar gain with thermal mass is a good start but ventilation is also key.
