I can see why you like it. It is quite charming. Isn't it funny how sometimes the simpliest things bring us such pleasure.

I love that door, Chrissy!! Love the rustic look. I remember that pillow. Didn't you make it? I'd love to learn how to do transfers but I'm busy re-upholstering right now. LOL Always doing something! Hope you had a great weekend. :)

Hi Chrissy! Glad you stopped by too! I remember you...what a gorgeous home you have and a lovely life! Yes, would more could a girl ask for; great husbands, kids and a nest to live in. Charming indeed. Anita

Hi Chrissy...

So glad that you stopped by my place...it's always such a pleasure when you visit!

My friend, I love that old door!!! It's perfect for your sunroom! That room has such a lovely feel or ambiance to it! Couldn't help but notice that pretty pillow on the wicker settee...the one done with the lady in black & white...love that!!!

Just wanted to say that I love those little bowls that you got from Homesense...love that design on them!!! Is Homesense a local store? I've never heard of them! Was wondering if they had online shopping?

Well my friend, have a marvelous Monday and thanks again for stopping by!
Warmest wishes,
Chari

Chrissy, I love your door. I had all of the doors downstairs in our vacation retreat stripped (they are old doors), and I love them. I particularly love yours, though. Neat look with the urn and the wonderful sofa with the cool pillow.

XO,

Sheila :-)

Curly branches in an urn always look so pretty to me. ;)

Oh, Sea...thanks so much for coming by to see me. I am so slow in getting around to visit...so sorry. Have a lot on my plate right now...
I so love this room of yours...you are so good at decorating in a way that doesn't LOOK decorated...all your rooms look so comfy and pretty and never stiff or formal..I love it!!

I love simple! I like rooms without a lot of stuff to dust! Although I don't really worry about that around here! My house needs a good cleaning from top to bottom and then some! Great photos thanks for sharing!
