Changes in the Sun Room

Since I now have pink in my family room (til I can convince someone we need new furniture), I decided to get rid of the pink in the sun room, and I love it!!  Here is the before, in pink:





Here is the look as of this evening. 

We moved the pink white and green rug out, and brought in this one.

I had fabric from GW that was just enough to cover the chaise cushions an the one in the rocker, so I put those on and pinned them in place with safety pins until I have time to do them right.

The cover on the table beside the rocker is a fall head scarf.  
I decided I could use some fall colors in here without so much pink.
The orange one is a ladies scarf also, just makes a great runner.
These are the curtains I made for pennies, and they were in the bedroom until recently.  I've never had long curtains in here except 2 lace ones at one point for a short time.

I brought in a brown monogrammed pillow.  The box on the table holds fall colored books, a bird, and flower pot.


This table cloth on the left is a good will find.  It has fall leaves.  I placed pumpkins, a grapevine wreath, and a "family" sign on the turquoise door.

I placed a pillow in the rocker.  The fabric has birds on it.




I wasn't sure I'd like these curtains in this room, but with the other changes, I really like it.  The arrangement on the eating table is a very old pitcher I found at GW.  it has orange, green, etc., and holds small flowers in those colors.  I have to make a curtain for the small window on the left of the bank of windows.  I'll have to check my stash for enough fabric.

I'm so excited with these changes, I may leave it this way.

I think it has an even more cottage vibe than before.  I think it's the curtains.

Hope you like this change!!

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 ...
