In the Sun Room

2.14.2013

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

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

    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!!

    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 :-/

    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!

    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!

    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.

  54. Shannon Fox2/16/13, 12:52 PM

    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!
