This picture shows the room before any work was done. The walls were very dark (either black or very dark blue). It took a lot of primer to cover that paint. We decided to paint the walls a pale tan. We think it looks really nice. Once again, I didn't get a picture of the walls, but you can see the new wall color in the 4th and 5th pictures below.
This picture shows the room after the carpet was removed. For some reason, the hardwood beneath the carpet didn't extend across the entire room. The wood that was there was in bad condition. That's our treadmill. It's a pain to move, so it was still in the room when the contractor began working. We intended to move it this weekend, but that didn't happen.
This is the room after the underlayment was installed. We're not sure why they installed the foam strips since the flooring is solid wood. (You generally only install the foam when you "float" an engineered wood floor or laminate floor).
Justin questioned the contractor about the floor not being level with the rest of the house because of the plywood subfloor being so high. Due to this, one layer of plywood would need to be removed so the new wood flooring would be at the same level as the existing floor. Justin decided to removed the plywood himself. When he did, he discovered some water damage the contractor missed.
This is what one corner of the room looked like after the vapor barrier and foam strips were removed. You can see the new paint color in this picture. 
After he discovered the water damaged plywood, Justin removed the plywood and found even more damage beneath it. Needless to say, we were both unhappy about this discovery - a) because the contractor should have found this before Justin did and b) this is going to cost more money.
I'll post pictures of the sunroom work soon.
