Parisian Bistro Meets Tropical Oasis Sunroom

Hello everyone and happy Monday!
Today I thought I would give you a little tour of my favorite room in the house, our sunroom.

We really like spending alot of time in here, and enjoy eating breakfast and lunch here.  It is at the back of our house, and since our back yard is surrounded by woods, there is lots of privacy.  We often see deer come right up in the yard (they eat my hostas!), and we have tons of squirrels, chipmunks, and bunny rabbits that our little dog will watch by the hour!

When I first saw this cute little green bistro set a one of my favorite local stores 2 years ago, I just fell in love with it. Well, a week or so later hubby surprised me with it as a wedding anniversary gift!

Here is another shot.

I wish that I had a before picture of this chandelier, but I transformed it several years ago, long before blogging!  It started out life as a hideously ugly (and I mean ugly!) lamp hanging in our entry way.  It was black, with a really ugly gold glass globe, and was circa 1970 Spanish style...yuck!  After removing the glass and wiring, I spray painted it Heirlomm White (of course!), added some pretty blue crystal beads, a votive candle, and viola!  One of my favorite trash to treasure projects!

I'd been looking for a bistro sign for a long time and just never seemed to find the right one.  When I spotted this last year at Hobby Lobby 1/2 off, I was thrilled!

 This is one of my favorite pieces of furniture, my Grandma's old sewing machine.  I really love the French bird print above.  It's just a large sheet of decorative paper, and I got the frame (that used to be gold) at a garage sale, which I couldn't wait to spray paint!

Here's a closer look.  Sorry for all the glare!  I just couldn't get a good picture!

I love my wire plant stand!

One of the greatest things about our sunroom is all the light we get.  Aside from all of the large windows, we have 4 skylights in the room (I couldn't get them all in this shot!), so it's really nice & bright.

I found this vintage needlepoint picture at a yard sale many years ago, for just $2 I think.  I really love the colors, and it's in the original frame.

This is looking towards the kitchen.

Our fountain. It decided not to work when I took this picture!  Phooey!  For awhile, it bugged me that I had a bit of a French theme going on, as well as this Hawaiian looking fountain.  Then it just hit me the other day!  There is "fusion cooking", why not "fusion decorating"?!  After all, our sunroom is full of tropical looking plants, and who says that can't go with the French feel?

Ok, this doesn't fit in with either the Parisian or tropical feel!  Hubby has a plane, so he often gets plane related gifts!  So this silly sign is a good conversation piece!

We have two large hoya plants hanging in here.  They finished blooming a month or so ago, but luckily I still have a picture to show you of the gorgeous blooms!  They were full of these waxy looking blooms for months!  I wish you could smell them!  They release their scent at night, and it's just heavenly!

I love to sit here in the winter during a snowstorm and enjoy a nice cup of hot cocoa!  Feels so snug & cozy! I am so lucky that I have a handy hubby!  He built this room all by himself!

Well, that concludes our tour! Thanks for stopping by! I've had such a busy day today cleaning and doing laundry, so I think I just may have to relax in the wicker chaise lounge with nice glass of wine as soon as I am done here!
