Please take the clouds away...
Welcome to my sunroom - it has been a nice lil' hangout lately because...
....well, you see... we have been having lots of rain...
...LOTS of rain. Our driveway is under this - yep, that is our front flower bed being swept away and normally this is just pasture field.
...A river runs through our front yard - NOT REALLY - but it looked like it.
We were under a flash flood Monday - and within a matter of minutes - this happened. Fortunately, none of our property was damaged - just a few fences down and some flowers lost. Absolutely nothing compared to what some people face during floods. And a couple of hours later it was gone.
...But it hasn't stopped raining since so I've been hanging out in the brightest room of our house when I could and sprucing it up a bit. I've been "loving on orange" lately so I thought I'd bring a lil' bit in the sunroom. Here is what I did...
I layered a throw rug I had on my front porch over my check rug and brought in a bright orange pillow...
I added a few orange branches to my big vase...
Here was a project I did several months ago - I took grain scoops from the feed store and hung them on the wall - perfect wall sconces for a farmhouse don't you think?
I brought in an old farmhouse table I had at the cabin...
...one of my ferns sets atop an old column...
A year ago I purchased this old turkey grower grain sack already framed at a yard sale! SCORE!
My lil' writing, reading corner / phone table... Thanks Ms. Evelyn for my "Summer Cottage" magazine - I love it!
This is something I've had for years and I love it. It is simply a table attached to an old door and it holds lots of lil' things I like or should I say....love.
One of those things is an old piece of cut wood I found in the barn. Shaun's late father had it stashed away and I thought it was a beautiful piece of cedar. I sanded it and I use it as a lil' lift plus it reminds me of Glen.
Another one of my favorite things is my one gallon old watering can gifted to me by my grandfather. I never see cans this size - it is very special to me.
You can see our Barn Light Electric Gooseneck lights outside. They are still one of my favorite things about the exterior of our home.
You can see the table tucked in the left corner here. I intend to paint it - just hasn't happened yet.
This room has a metal ceiling - something my hubby was set on but I love it just as much. The fan however, not something I wanted but he said we needed it for air flow. I agree he was right BUT a cool light would have been better.
Another project is to put a shelf here so I can have more places to set things - imagine that!
Thanks for looking around.
Hope it brings you some sunshine like it has me lately.
Looking forward to the sun shining soon!
Happy Summer!
