A Second Helping

Here are a few more photos of my sunroom. Hope you enjoy.
A closer view of my tabletop conservatory containing vintage wire egg baskets
and wire topiary forms.


...inspired by "Carolyn Westbrook Home"








When a friend shared this book with me I immediately fell in love.
I poured over every page.



Baker's rack with my English Cottage collection and vintage framed Audubon prints.







Old French grain sack with initials casing two old ticking feather pillows.




Wicker chair with antique "Double Wedding Ring" quilt hand pieced and stitched by my husband's grandmother in the 1930's, a primitive patriotic pillow, with an antique birdcage from my mother's gazebo.




Vintage gardening books, tools and small statuary in a strawberry flat, with my favorite Restoration Hardware zinc watering can which was a gift from my daughter, Erin.





Green goat cart filled with an ice cream tub and white geraniums.



Antique door and lantern with vintage mirror and twig wreath with lillies.

Thanks for joining me,
Debra
Coffee's ready!

My Favorite Spot







I know we all have our favorite hang-outs around our house. I have a few, but the one that is currently presentable is my sunroom off the kitchen. It is where the cats and I usually have our first cup of coffee, weather permitting. (They don't drink coffee, they just find a sunny spot and flop) It's sort of a three-season room, because in the winter it gets pretty fridged. This is the place some of my garden-junk-chippy-vintage stuff gets to daily delight me.
When a new season or holiday is around the corner this is the place that feels it first. I love coming into the kitchen first thing in the morning, tripping over two hungry, gray, furry babies and seeing my sunroom.
We have a great house, built in the 80's. You know how that is...not too old, but needing alot of new updates. We've lived here 6 years and I love it, but there is a list a mile long of things that could be done. Oh well, it's home, and I do love to decorate.
