Sunny Side Up

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!  I'm showing more pictures of our sun room (which is off the back of our living room,) since we pretty much live out here in the warm weather.  In the fall/winter season the furniture in here gets pushed aside, and my hubby fills the room with firewood for our wood-burning stove.  So each spring when I put the room back together, I basically give it a whole makeover.  The screens stay against the one wall of windows that face our neighbors-they create a nice barrier for privacy.  This year I decided to use an old factory cart as a coffee table in front of the 'couch'.  It has special significance, because it came from the company that my dad worked at for 40 years! (Plus I just think it's cool!)
I've had these old lockers forever, but could never find the right place for them...til now! I got them at an antique mall, and I love their industrial vibe!  Plus, they're great storage, as they're filled with my mags and Pottery Barn catalogs :)   My friend Carol stenciled some shams for me that I'm using as chair back cushions-I love how they turned out!
This is the back wall when you walk into the room.  The wooden drawer unit called my name when I spotted it at a shop in Amish country-I had to have it!  One of our little fur babies (Bobbie aka 'Bob') is curled up on the chair to the right-you can usually find both of our cats napping in here!  I'll continue the sun room tour next time...enjoy your Memorial Day!

  1. I am loving your sun room. So warm and welcoming. I love the story behind the coffee table. And the lockers are perfect for storage and fit the room to a "T".
