Our Sunless Sun Room


The sun was shining into the sun room when I started this tablescape.....now, the sky is turning grey and a cold front is headed our way.   Our forecast for the week is SNOW...the good news is...we don't usually get very much here in Eastern New Mexico.


Before I show you my table scape,  I want you to see the transformation of the chair closest to you at the table. 
We bought this chair at a yard sale a couple of years ago for $1....pretty cheap, but the chair was in a sack!   H put all the pieces together and we have been using it in the studio.  
I only had three white chairs to set around the table in the sun room, so H brought it in and gave the chair a fresh coat of paint.  (and a new seat cover) 

I moved the tea cart table from the kitchen  to the sun room.....if you follow my blog you will remember that I refreshed the kitchen a few weeks ago.

I have the table set with a aqua and pink theme....

I found these pretty rose napkins at Tuesday Morning.   I layered the place setting with aqua and cream plates and smaller pink depression glass plate.
Hobby Lobby is stocking their spring decor now and I loved this aqua and pink metal container.    I filled it with some pale pink roses and it is the centerpiece for the table.

HL has several pieces that match my flower container.  The matching apron is so cute, there is a plastic tray, and the pillow is really pretty (I may yet get that)  but I couldn't resist bringing home the silverware caddy.

I love the way it displays some of my vintage silverware.

I couldn't resist giving you a peek at the green house H is building.    I am so excited....BUT, it looks like it will be about a week before we can resume work on it with this cold front coming it.....sad face!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!

  6. Lovely perfection! The chairs look wonderful in white all together. Your sun room will look the more sunny with all the white you have in there. Hopefully the sun will come back out soon.

  15. As usual, I ohhh and awww through your entire post. You painted your chair in the kitchen? Really? Of course I couldn't if I wanted to..NO room. :) I do mine on the rolling cart PH used to have in his TV shop to push the TV's around on. Works great. I imagine it's too cold for you to paint outside right now. The white never fails to make me swoon and then that splash of color in your carpet..HOW I wish I could make things come out like that. You might even make me appreciate my ecru pieces of crochet. :)

  16. Penny,
    Love this cute tablescape with those charming aqua dishes and of course, I adore the pink depression glass pieces. I love the Spring pieces you bought and I can see the new greenhouse is going to be a beauty. You are so lucky that H. is handy!!
    We had 4inches of snow yesterday even though they only called for 1 inch. We are supposed to get another 3-6 tomorrow and they are now calling for another storm on Sunday with the possibility of a foot of snow!!!!
    Winter will be here in Pa. for quite some time

  21. I love this post. The color combo of aqua & pink with your sun ( but- no -sun ) room comes together to almost remind me of beach cottages . All is lovely. I like the greenhouse going up in your back yard.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Your sunless sunroom looks like a spot I'd hang out in a lot! The chair turned out fabulous. The greenhouse looks like it will be wonderful! We experience so many gray days in the winter here we nearly go outside to do a dance when the sun shines!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I always love visiting...your home is so pretty.(I love all the white.) The chair you have "loved" is just perfect! I also like the the way white seems to tie all things together. I had to look twice to see that you have various style chairs! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that look. It's so cozy and inviting!
    Stay warm and keep us posted on your new little structure!

  32. First of all, I adore the fact that you have a sun room- all those lovely windows! And second, it's beautiful whether the sun is shining or not! The aqua and pink theme you used in the tablescape is lovely, and the depression glass- perfect. :)

    I am excited that you're getting a green house- you'll be able to do so much with that!

    Thank you so much for sharing your sun room, your valentine decor, and those clever lamp candle holders with us at Treasure Box Tuesday! :)
