Sun Room Now

I have been sharing some little changes made in the sun room this week and now I will show you how it is warmed up for the cooler weather ahead. First let me remind you how it looked before.





Look at my new slipcover. This is the Pottery Barn Maize colored slip for my PB basic sofa.
I found it on ebay and am so glad I did.


I love how much this one change has warmed up the room.


I changed out some of the pillows.


Now if I could just decide which pillows I like better on here. This is my newest one from ebay.


Bunny is back in this spot.


I guess you noticed that I put my picnic basket arrangement in here.


and moved my vintage coca cola crate from the flea market here


Moved the rooster lamp up here. Love this lamp on at night on this cabinet.


See my vintage Pepsi crate? My daughter gave me that for helping with her baby shower.


Made this fall arrangement and placed it on the little chippy yellow table.








Took this jar and filled it with natural fall items and wrapped some jute webbing around it 
for added texture.





Still moving pillows around.
I'll figure it out soon.








Now you see why I changed the color of the cabinet. The other bold yellow clashed with 
the new slipcover.


One more look

Looks like a page from a magazine, Kim. It is all just put together so well. I love your pillows. Going to have to go to ebay now and look around!

Anita @ GoingALittleCoastal said...

I like the new cover. It's very similar to one I have on my chair. I love all your pillows. I have never looked on ebay for them, perhaps I should! The colors all look so nice together now with the new painted cupboard.

Jennifer said...

Wow! I loved the first look but I have to say that what you've done is professional, homey, stylish and pulled together in a very upscale yet welcoming way. Looks great! Jennifer jennsthreegraces stop by!

Pat said...

I am loving these changes Kim!

The new slipcover is fabulous and perfect for warming up the sun room for the season.

I love your sunroom, it is so nice and cozy!!! Your yellow cabinet and table are great and the new slipcover is so pretty!!! Great job!!!

Debbie said...

The slip cover from Pottery Barn (ebay) was an awesome find...could not be more perfect. All your warm Fall touches are magnificent. As far as the pillows go, you have enough to figure out just the right arrangement. Thanks for joining me Kim. Debbie

Denise@alloverroses said...

I love your sunroom! Your new slip cover really added some color...it looks great. I move my pillows around a lot and never seem to be happy where I put them. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day!
Denise

Marla @ Always Nesting said...

Love the color of that new sofa cover. It really warms up the room with those great pillows.

xinex said...

Wonderful changes, Kim. The new slip cover color really warmed up the room, I love the color. Your sun room is so pretty, very comfy! I do not have a new camera. I have been using my Sony H9 which I really love. I have had it for 2 years now. I have a smaller one, Sony also, with a higher MP and can take panorama but I like the quality of the H9 camera better...Christine

Karen said...

Sofa looks awesome!... love those vintage crates, have not found a single one yet. You are so talented. I really like the "scene" pillow.. definitely use that.

Kathi said...

Oh so perfect. You absolutely have the eye for pulling a room together. Love it.
Hugs to you, Kathi

Kristi said...

Kim, I LOVE your new slipcover! Heck, I LOVE the whole room! All your pillows and accents! I want to steal your coca cola crate! And I think it was fate you posted this, I was JUST looking on OB website last night trying to decide between the basic and the grand (just a matter of size!) LOVE seeing it again in your home! :)
Kristi

Ashley said...

Looking at the before picture, I didnt know how you could improve because it was already beautiful! But I love the pops of color you added. The yellows and reds are the perfect touch. Its a gorgeous room!

Days at Buttermilk Cottage said...

Weren't you smart to get a basic Pottery Barn sofa? Now you'll be able to team it with all sorts of seasonal colors via their slipcovers!!! The room is gorgeous--whether it's dressed for warm or cool weather.

Yvonne @ StoneGable said...

Kim, This is a wonderful fall transformation!
I LOVE the butter yellow slipcovers. I can't believe you got them from ebay! SCORE!!!!
Please put the bunny pillow in the middle of your sofa. He is so very handsome and the black background looks great against the sofa. Nice ballance too.
I love all the changes. I'm going right back for another long look.
I kept saying out loud, "Oh my word, Oh my word!"
YOur changes made this sunroom cool weather ready and very warm!
I love every single detail.
Beautiful, you have a gift. Can you come to my house to work your magic?

Traci said...

I love the new warmer look for these cooler days ahead. I love all the texture you added with pillows, and those adorable gourds in the glass jar with the web jute trim....just perfection, I tell ya!

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

The slipcovers and pillows really made a difference! I bought some of the jute but wasn't sure how I would use it! Great idea! I love your room...I would LIVE in it! ♥

Bonnie@Creative Decorating said...

What luck finding that slipcover! It looks great in the room and does warm it up. TV cabinet definitely looks better in this color. I like that yellow chippy table!

Donnie said...

So lovely. It reminds me of the Southern Homes display rooms but yours has a lived in warmth that shows in your pictures. Really enjoyed seeing it. What a change, especially the slipcovers.

Darla said...

What a cozy area you have created.

NanaDiana said...

Kim- It look beautiful. I love the new slipcover-it is perfect. How is the PB couch for sitting on? It looks beautiful-is it comfortable as well? I need a new sofa for our great room. The one I have is very bulky and I do like it - but not in this room. I was so frustrated with looking and we had a big celebration coming up in this house so I "settled" to get something in here. It came with a matching love seat which is in my daughter's sun room (shhhh...MrK thinks it might be downstairs-lol). so...that is my next BIG goal. We don't have a PB any place close to where we are-but there is one by my daughter.

Thanks for the beautiful Fall display. I love the color of the new paint on your toned down piece...it looks lovely with your slipcover. As for the pillows? You're on your own..lol You have a good eye and you will know where it looks best when it lands there- Hugs-off to work for me now- Diana

Shelia said...

Morning, Kim! Oh, I love your new slipcover and your pillows! You're so good! Your tv cabinet looks marvelous in the softer yellow. Everything is gorgeous!! You're too good! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

vignette design said...

Love it Kim! The new slipcover made a huge difference.
Love how you wrapped jute around the vase. I've been doing that for a while. Only around candles. All your accessories and pillows really work well together. So, is it done yet?

Michele Smith said...

WOW! It looks gorgeous. You definitely have an eye for decorating. I love your new pillows and slipcover. Everything is just perfect. I LOVE your style.
Michele

Pam said...

Wow. Just the slipcover change makes a huge difference in the feel of the room. I especially like your use of the webbing around the jar - very cute!

Traci said...

The new paint looks so good with the new slipcover! I love the arrangements too. Thanks so much for your sweet comments. I've worked so hard on my house, it's so nice when people comment on it.

Busy As Can Be said...

I love the new covers! the whole room looks like it is in a model home!

Kathy said...

The maize colored slip color is beautiful. I love all the pillows-esp the little lumbar pillow with the different fabrics -very pretty

ChRiS said...

Kim your rooms are always picture perfect..i came across a post this am had a riding hat in there shop and thought of you right away but i could not for the life of me remember if you had 1 in that sitting room.

Sailing Simply said...

I like the new maize slipcover very much! That color looks so good in there! Just wondering where do you keep all the pillows when not using them? I have an issue with too many pillows and not enough storage space. I also really love that Pepsi crate! I am a Pepsi gal through and through! So this is one crate I would really love. haha!

Pondside said...

What a beautiful place for enjoying the sunny fall days. Isn't it amazing what a difference a slip cover can make to the feel of a room? You're right - it really warmed it up.

Susan said...

Your sun room is beautiful!! I love the new slipcover. I love the farm house appeal it has!!

Marcia said...

I love the new slip cover and the softer yellow on the tv cabinet. Just when I thought the room couldn't get any better....oh my, it is just gorgeous. You are so talented!

Haverford House said...

Hi Kim, I thought your pictures were Pottery Barn catalog pics when I started looking at them! Your room is beautiful! I love how you pulled everything together! ~Marcy

Patricia Torres said...

the new cover makes such a huge huge difference.. It simply looks gorgeous now.. (it did before as well)... but the new look is fab!!

Courtney ~ French Country Cottage said...

Hi Kim~
Seriously LOVE that room!!! I am loving the red, yellow and green together!!! The new slipcover is great and that dainty little table with all the details next to the red chair- gorgeous!!! You should consider linking this up to Feathered Nest Friday over at my blog- all about decorating inspiration and this is DEFINITELY inspiring!!! LOVE it!! :)

Jemsmom said...

Love that yellow slip cover! What a difference it makes! I like all your pillows. I say to just rearrange them every few days to change it up, but keep them all!! They are too pretty!

Becca said...

*Ha-uge* score on the PB slipcover! It is perfect in your sunroom, which was alREADY magazine-worthy! I love all the pillows and how you've mixed them all together ... it works really well out there in your sunny and happy sunroom! I'm on my way over with a bottle of wine! *Becca*

Kim said...

Kim your sunroom looks fabulous! I love all the changes - especially the pale yellow slip on the sofa. I like that last arragement of pillows the best - with the new ebay pillow and the blue bunny one and the red one on the chair. But why am I giving you advice? You don't need it!
xoxo,
Kim

Teresa said...

It's just gorgeous. I love how just a few color changes take it from summer to fall. Your jute wrapped jar is so pretty - what a great idea!

Makes me wish I had a need for the PB sofa right now! Just gorgeous!! Love the new color on the cabinet too!

Vanessa said...

Hi Kim! That slipcover is gorgeous and that one change really does take you into the new season! I just love this room and especially love that new pillow you got on Ebay! I'm thinking of a few spots in my house where that would look pretty good! :-) I wasn't sure if you knew that I host an Inspiration Friday party each week and I would love for you to join sometime. I know there are A LOT of parties out there so, no pressure...but you always have such gorgeous things to share!
Vanessa

Jill said...

What a beautiful transition into fall! Everything looks great, and I love the red rug. I'm surprised a magazine has not featured your home yet.

sissie said...

Hi Kim,
I love your beautiful sunroom. The colorful pillows on your new slipcovered sofa are just perfect.

It's a great cozy and relaxing room.

hugs

Kim, this is one of my favorite rooms. The maize slipcover really does warm it up. The entire room glows and oozes charm. ~ Sarah

Kim said...

All of your changes look wonderful, Kim. I love that little glazed side table.

Kim,
Another magazine-cover type room. Everything is beautiful, and I love your new pillows too. You really have the designer's eye. Peggy

Amy @MaisonDecor said...

Love the way the room looks. I have always loved reds and yellows and your accents are great. Pillows are so important to setting the tone and giving a finished look. Like you said, you will figure it out! Seems like you already did!

bj said...

OMGosh, I am so in love with your "new" sofa...it's the perfect color. Your sun porch can't get any cuter...it is adorable now.

Rose H (UK) said...

It all looks so warm and inviting Kim. Love the pillows, especially the rabbit one.
What a thoughtful gift from your daughter, it fits in so well with your style.
You are so lucky to have such a beautiful home.
Best wishes

Great slipcover! What a nice difference it makes! All the pillows are really neat!

I've enjoyed trying to catch up here. We've been out of town (NY for my DHs 50th Class Reunion) just returned late Tuesday night.

Love your house!

Nikki said...

What a beautiful room... looks like something out of a magazine!
I just love your little yellow chippy table.... out of all your beautiful furniture it's the one that always catches my eye.
Hope you have a good weekend xx

laurie @ bargain hunting said...

Oh Kim, this room is soooo pretty. You should publish a book. This looks like a beautiful coffee table design book. I love your new ebay pillow and that ruffly red bowl with fall foliage on that oh-so-pretty yellow table. It is all just perfection. Love the soft yellow slip cover on the sofa too. Heck, I love it all! Thank you so much for linking this fabulous room to Favorite Things Sat. laurie

Kim, your sunroom is beautiful both ways! But I really like the maize slip cover and the additional touches of red and natural browns. They make a big difference in the feel of the room.

Need to scoot, yikes, I should not be reading blogs, my list is way too long!
