In the Sun Room

There have been some changes in the sun room.....again. I shared my sofa table last week that I painted and placed in the great room and told y'all the drop leaf table moved somewhere else. Did any of you guess the sun room?

I think some of you thought I might have painted it. I have thought about it, but for now I like the dark wood with the white walls.

I purchased this fiddle leaf fig tree at Home Depot to replace the Christmas tree I had in this vintage olive bucket. I just hope I don't kill it. So far so good.

I created the vignette using a stone finial I have had for years, a demijohn, and this transferware sugar bowl filled with a tiny fern sitting on a stack of books.

A vintage bushel basket holds magazines.


I will share the new look of the whole room soon.

Yes, it is the saga of the ever changing room.

I love the look of a non-painted wood piece mixed in with the others. Great contrast and interest to a room. Love your fig leaf as well. I've never seen them at Home Depot - I'm going to have to go back and check. Thanks for sharing, liz

Hi Kimmie! I always love seeing what you do in your sun room and I always love what you've done! Oh, that old bushel basket brings back so many memories! :)

That table looks good in there. It's always fun to move something into a different room. Makes it feel new all over again!

The table looks good in there Kim! I'm glad you didn't paint it, it's stained such a pretty color.

I have a good sized drop-leaf table in our sunroom also. It is very old and has the barley twist legs - which I love! It is also nice when I need to set up an extra table (entertaining, holidays, etc.). I seat an extra 4 in the sunroom.

I love having plants in my sunroom. They do so well in there. I've kept my ferns alive from summer in there - so far!!

I love the Vitner bucket! I have one too :) I like the table in wood-but I love painted pieces too. I so enjoy seeing the evolution of your beautiful sun room!

Like I have said before, I always love what you do in that room! I just replaced a few plants too...they don't last very long in my house...

The fig plant is delightful in the olive bucket Kim. I am glad you did not pain the drop leaf table because it is beautiful.

My favorite room and I'm loving the dark wood of the drop leaf table in there!!! Beautiful as always!

Debbiedoo's said...

Ohh how pretty Kim! I need a little fern. They only take 6 months for me to kill opposed to others in a few days.

Rosemary@villabarnes said...

The table looks great there, Kim. I doesn't matter how many changes you make, you always make wonderful vignettes.

Elizabeth (Blue Clear Sky) said...

That is a great table and a lovely vignette. I love pieces that can be used in more than one spot.

Beverly@southernhomesweethome said...

I absolutely love this table as a side table. Great move

Dixie Delights said...

your sun room is lovely!

Pam - @diy Design Fanatic said...

So gorgeous Kim! I love the dark wood against the light walls, as well. Your accessories are pretty too!

Babs said...

Kim, I REALLY like your sun room vignette with the olive basket, that gorgeous finial, and your pretty transferware bowl. Great look. Hope you have a great weekend.

Gee Singh Newbanks said...

Ok, when you are true with the finial, may I borrow it for a bit please?
The vignette looks very pretty ... luv the dark wood against the white wall as well. I have the same contrast in my entryway.
Fiddle leaf fig ( say that 3 times) ... hmmm, let me know if it's easy to care for please. *showing 10 black fingers/thumbs) At times I think I have killed silk plants :-/
Hugs, Gee

Nice Info

Shirley@Housepitality Designs said...

I love your "sagas"...and great cliffhangers!...The table looks fantastic in the room...and glad you decided not to paint it as it really is a great juxtaposition in the room...and of course, you are the queen of vignettes...looks great!!! oh, and the fiddle leaf fig is on my shopping list!

Peggy said...

I think its all cozy and lovely..just the way ot is...peacefull :)

Diane Hinnant said...

Kim, everything about your vignette is just beautiful and all the elements are wonderful atop your pretty drop leaf table. You have a great eye for styling, my dear!

Jane@Cottage at the Crossroads said...

So glad you didn't paint the dropleaf table as it is a beautiful piece as it is. The contrast of the dark wood works wonderfully with your white walls! I really liked how you used an old bushel basket as a magazine holder, too. You always have the best ideas!

Jill Flory of Sew a Fine Seam said...

Seeing what you do to change things in your sunroom is one of my favs!! Love the plant in the olive bucket. My olive bucket is housing tp at the moment but i want to do something a little more fun with it for spring!

Ann from On Sutton Place said...

So pretty with all that great light. The olive bucket is fabulous. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the room. Have a good weekend!

Julie Taylor and Danni Greenwalt said...

My favorite tree...i have one in my living room and I'm shocked I haven't killed it yet!

Sue (Someones Mom) said...

Aw...but change is good! I like how you combined the elegant table with the rustic basket. I kill all green things that I bring into the house. I finally gave up. I either have live flowers, sticks or an occasional fake (which I really don't like) because I just can't make live things grow!

Lorraine Finkbeiner said...

You changed your sun room around? YOU? LOL...Of COURSE you did! It looks great...can't wait to see the next version too...which will look great also! Have I told you I covet your olive bucket....just sayin...if you want to will it to me, I'll take it....

Petra said...

Drop-leaf tables are gorgeous aren't they? And so handy! Reminds me of when they were used in the (really) old days (in my grandparents time) in the sitting room as a tea table, craft table or card table. I soooo regret my husband selling mine.

Shannon Fox said...

Regardless of where you put them, you always style the prettiest vignettes Kim. It's beautiful and the bare wood looks lovely. The contrast is great. I adore that olive bucket! I've been on the look out for one. I've got lots of old sap buckets, but not one of those!
