Revisiting the Sunroom

Of all my rooms, the sun room is probably my favorite.  I like the soft colors, and the outdoor views.  This room has a shabby cottage theme, with lots of birds and flowers.  You may remember my $6.00 makeover of this room.  If not, you can see it here.

 

I love the sunlight this room gets all morning.  It beams through the windows, making it a warm spot on cooler mornings.

We often have our morning coffee here. It's a great place to start the day.  The room sits between the master suite and the screened porch.

 Closet bi-fold door leans against the wall. Display items  on the door, can be changed out seasonally.

The jelly cupboard holds my collection of pitchers.  A cluster of cloches hold birds in their nests, on top of the jelly cupboard.


Here, you can see my collection of rose plates above the windows.


This picture continues the birds theme.  It is dated 1983, and is an old Home Interiors picture.  I white washed the frame.



There's a spot for a small meal in here if we choose.  This crocheted table cloth was a great consignment find.  It covers the Wielunder tablecloth I found at a yard sale for $4.

The small metal tray is a Good Will find.  It works out perfect for this tray vignette.

This vintage table sits beside a wicker rocker.  The green jar is a fly trap we found on the lake property.  You've seen the magnolia print that a dear friend gave me when I retired.  I think of her when I see this picture.  



More birds..... another GW find for $.50.

I recently moved an old bar stool into the corner, and using the blue and green bowl I found at Good Will, I did a cute arrangement by simply placing the tulip bouquet inside the bowl.



A very simple change with lots of impact.



I hope you enjoyed another peek into the sun room.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition!

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
