Let's head into the sunroom. As always, there is pretty minimal seasonal decor in here because so much of this room gets used and it is just easier to use when there are not many things that need to be moved.
I LOVE this piece given to me by daughter #3. She used it for quite some time in her home and then it went out on the porch where it took a "hit" from something and lost a corner. I had always loved that piece...so much so that I almost ordered it from Grandin Road not knowing that she already had it but, in the end, I held off because it was not inexpensive. When she offered it to me because she was ready to toss it, I snapped it up and, quite honestly, did my jerry-rigging magic! If I remember correctly, I used wood compound and spackling to "build" a new corner and then a mix of acrylic paint colors to cover the fix as well as touch up a lot of other spots. If I do say so myself, you almost can't tell where the fix happened. I was quite reluctant to move this piece from the dining room but, when daughter #1 offered me a piece from her house that I also loved-and which would literally fit nowhere else in my house- I swapped places and I actually love it here.
That's about it for this room. I do have an autumn pillow on the couch, a vase of autumn foliage on my desk and an autumn candle and vase of orange flowers on the chest by the door to the garage...and that is it.
Not sure what our weather is going to do this afternoon so I'm off to grab some lunch and then I will decide what the rest of the day will bring. Stay safe and stay tuned.
