Table Runner

I love all things retro, and a chrome table is a HUGE part of the retro look. I have a lot of new furniture mixed in this room as well, so I needed a way to update the look of the table. Quick solution... give it some color!

Telephone Table

OK, so no one really uses telephone tables anymore, but I really love the look of them. This one had previously been painted and reupholstered, but it was in a very drab grayish brown... not my look. I added it to the sun porch and painted it a bright sunny yellow to spruce up the room!

Sunporch Furniture Redos


I have always loved the look of wicker furniture, but it is very hard for them to not look dated. The last thing I wanted was to have old looking furniture in a house of mod stuff. I chose one kind of funky bright fabric and paired it with something a little more laid back in order to stick with a slightly more tradional sunporch look.

Patio Chairs

I tried to come up with a way to bring some color to my patio area. It is surrounded by hosta beds and everything is green. I love my hostas, but I wanted to brighten things up a bit. I chose a fabric that brought a little of my interior style to the great outdoors.
