Our Sittin' Porch

I have the table in the sun room....Our Sittin Porch....set for lunch today.   I bought this sweet sign at the auction Saturday, and a few other things...lol!
I have been looking for a Duncan Phyfe table that was not in real good condition....I didn't want to feel guilty when I painted it white!
So, they had one at the auction that was just what I had been looking for.    H was so sweet, he put it at the top of his to do list and got it painted yesterday.
I paint $60 for the table and $2.50 for the little sign.   I can't wait to show you the metal wall lamp that I got for $10.
I decided it was time for a change in the sun room....

so.... we put the wrought iron table and chairs in the studio for a while.

I set the table with an assortment of dishes that I like.... 

nothing matches....

just a comfortable, cozy table setting for our lunch!

  13. Love your porch! Dishes are my favorite and i always make a bee line straight for them when i am out. Can i just ask, what did you paint your table with and did you seal it? I am going to paint my kitchen table and trying to figure out the best way to finish it.
    Thanks! I love your posts!

  14. Your sittin' porch is beautiful. I'd love it out there.

  15. Penny, you have the loveliest porch! And your new DF table looks amazing in white. I would have hesitated too, to paint it. But it looks so good!
    Your china layered like that is super romantic looking.

  16. I hope, when we buy a home again (in the next year or two), that we will have one with a sun room. It is a dream of mine. I hope I can decorate it as lovely as yours (with my own theme of course). Yours is truly inviting.

  25. Love your sun porch and the white Table. Did you paint that using Anne Sloan paints? I noticed something that I'm curious about..I noticed that you have all of your silverware placed on the left side of the plate. I was always taught that the fork goes on the left, knife with blade next to plate and spoon beside of knife. My friend who is from Frances and I had a discussion about this same thing..she told me I was wrong. At special occasions, banquets, weddings,etc. I've always seen it like I was taught. Maybe some other followers will have an opinion on this subject matter.

    1. Hi Pippi21! First, I used Lowes paint for the DF. You are right about the placement of silverware...but, when I am setting the table for a casual lunch with H, I like the look that your friend from France prefers!
