I SHOULD have been "on" this job early in the spring. But I wasn't. And the sun porch was buried under the layers of items placed there "until later" during the winter. Then, it got too hot to enjoy. It cooled enough yesterday for me to clean and arrange it so that we can actually enjoy the space again! My husband assembled the crib that had been stored in the garage. I placed a thrifted comforter and pillows covered with fabric I have thrifted over the years. Now it is an inviting spot on which to curl up and read. The vintage floral carpet strip, both rocking chairs, the wood chest under the bed, and any toys you see were all purchased at garage sales or thrifted. We've owned the chest for over 30 years and it was old when we bought it!
I'm looking forward to a cooler day tomorrow and good times to come on our back sun porch.
Hi Rebecca, I want to come sit with you on the porch and enjoy some ice tea or maybe lemonade and just chat the day away!
ReplyDeletexo, Bonnie
Come on, Bonnie! I'll have to run to the grocery to make the lemonade, but iced tea can be made in a hurry!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join you and Bonnie on the porch! I love the day bed so much and the quilt is gorgeous. xxx
ReplyDeleteVery cute...a crib. Who'd a thunk it? Wish it would cool down here in AZ.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely place to sit and to just "be". I love what you did with the crib! You have inspired me to visit my goodwill stores. Yesterday, I got hubby to go with me to three. He could not understand what I was hunting; I said I did not know what I was hunting until I saw it! Then he was really confused. I found a $3 book for him, a $1 new pot(new), two cups new but missing scaucers for 79 cents each and a white rabbit for a $1. Such fun...thanks for inspiration. And I was not even hunting a rabbit!
ReplyDeleteF.M.P. I assume you're speaking of the temperature on the thermometer not the political climate :)
ReplyDeleteBookie, It sounds like you had a WONDERFUL time at your Goodwill Store. Yes, you often find things you're not hunting for :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha Rebecca. You crack me up with your comments. You are humorous. Loved seeing your sunporch. Looks like somebody had a birthday, too, because I spotted a balloon. You know what? It's been too hot to sit out on my porch, too. I run for the air-conditioned living room. But cooler days are coming. (Aren't they?) ha! Take care, Rebecca. Susan
ReplyDeleteP.S. Meant to tell you, Rebecca, that I like your blog's new look. Very nice! Susan
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place to curl up with a book~ may you find much peace and rest here this summer ~blessings Heather
ReplyDeleteSusan, You must be referring to my red hat hanging on the "Christmas tree post"??? Actually there's a straw hat on the top of it. You just can't see it. No birthdays in this house recently :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on the blog background. Things show up on it, don't you think? I feels cheerful to me.
Heather, I've already tried it out for reading. It works! Unfortunately, right now I'm highly distractable. Can't seem to focus long enough to make the progress I want to in my current reading - Stillwater Daybook.
