Now I've been tearing up the sun porch...
Now you have probably seen my little sun porch. It's at the back of the house and a step down from the den. It's also open to the den. In the snap below the den is to the left.
The sun is pouring in this afternoon.
Here's another shot of the sofa and the little coffee table.
Now I know you've all seen my pillows - all made by my most dainty talented fingers! :) I could change them out, but I just love my toile and Rooster pillows! Can you love toile and Rooster pillows sitting on the little wicker sofa in the sun porch? Why you bet your needles and pins and chicken feathers you can! :)

Yep, you're seeing cords and extension cords here. There is not one plug out here so I have to do what a gal's gotta do - run extension cords along the baseboards.
Oh, Dear Ones, my floor really is clean. If you're seeing those little white dots - that's a little bit of paint splatter. I did it, I admit it and I just haven't taken the time to scrape them off! Maybe I'll do that tomorrow! :)
This is my one 'live' plant out here! Dear Ones, meet Mary! I do need to repot her and maybe I'll do that tomorrow!
See? She's very healthy and loves the sun. I just get such a kick out of twirling her around and then in a bit her little leaves are reaching for the sun. Love that!
Now you've seen my changes on the sun porch. This area is not very big. The porch is twice as big as you're seeing here but the other part is a mess and I'm not going to show it to you! :) Maybe I'll tear it up tomorrow! :)
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)

I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Southern Nights
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern Nights
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize...to any one who can truly say
that he has found a better way... hey
Southern Skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
Well it's precious beauty lies
just beyond the eye
It goes running thru your soul
like the stories told of old
Old man he and his dog that walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by weeping willows
would cry for joy... joy!
Feels so good
Feels so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
stop this world from fighting
La Da Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
Mystery like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night, in the southern skies
Southern Nights
They feel so good it's frightening
Wish I could
stop this world from fighting
La Da Da Da Da Da
La Da Da Da Da Da

All this talk about all the work tomorrow has tuckered me all out! Looks great any way...I would LOVE it, absolutely LOVE IT if I could enclose our back patio. It took me a whole day to clean up from the last dust storm. I don't want to do that anynmore!!
ReplyDeleteYour sun porch is so bright & cheerful! I like your decorating style! I would enjoy spending time there!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Carol
I'm never in a cleaning mood in this heat. All my house gets until Fall is 'a lick and a promise'! Your sun porch is sparkling!! Sally
ReplyDeleteSheila,
ReplyDeleteYour sunroom is so inviting! I could sit there all day. You have my favorite things ... toile, roosters and red! Love the rooster lamp :)
Hugs,
Donna
Shelia -- whew! You have been doing a lot of rearranging and everything looks so nice. The sun room is so adorable and cozy I wocould stay there all day. Love the red and white pillows and the shutters with the red tins -- I am a red kind of gal. Your new camera takes good indoor shots. Have a great weekend. Joni
ReplyDeleteI do like your sunporch...I am a big fan of toile fabric and roosters so it a winner in my book. Trish
ReplyDeleteI just want to come right over and sit in that gorgeous room, chatting with you, sipping iced tea perhaps - you have created a completely gorgeous setting. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteShelia, your porch is fabulous. I love it and I love the new arrangement. Such a great space. You did good with your arrangement, and yes I do love the pillows also. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room full of wonderful wicker and charming accessories. I could spend some leisure time here. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Sheila! I love this spot of your lovely home! I'm addicted to rearranging every time I clean. My husband jokes that he has to look before he sits to make sure the chair is still there!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing! ;)
Take care!

Hello Sweet Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI love your little sun room! It is so "southern!" Your pillows are lovely, as are the teddy bears. I adore your red toile and the rooster pillow. I hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend.
Love and Hugs, Cindy
Oh Shelia -- My house sure needs some "tearing up!" Love your little sun porch.
ReplyDeleteWe must both have some of the same summer hormones lately! I took everything out of the guest closet today to rearrange and get rid of some things! I can't wait to do more tomorrow! Your room looks so pretty! I like having the sofa by the windows to sit sideways and look out! ♥
ReplyDeleteWell Miss Shelia, you have really been at work! I love your sun porch. I'm getting me some neat ideas from it right now!! That shutter just reminded me of a little something-something stored in my basement that I might need to give a new home.....maybe in the sun room here. First I gotta figure out where it will go though. My room is already FULL!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have yourself a nice weekend!
Kathy
Oh how I would love, love, LOVE to have a porch!!!!! Your creamy white fingers are very TALENTED: I adore your pillows! I wouldn't change them at all! I do like this arrangement better. The table seems to FIT better on the wall. I love all your pretty things too. Thanks so much for sharing this! I LOVE the red and white! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteHaving trouble leaving comments today....envy your energy
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, cozy place to while away the day! I do like the before and the after! The reds and whites, and the floor, and the wall color are all wonderful.

ReplyDeleteBoy you've been busy.I keep waiting for that burst of energy to hit me this summer, but so far, no luck. Your sun porch is adorable. I love the pillows and don't blame you one bit for not wanting to change them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing your lovely sun porch to Seasonal Sundays.

Shelia, can you bottle up some of that energy and send it to me, please?! I love your sun porch, love the red and white decor, the little bear and dolls in the red wagon, I bet Carter loved that! xo,
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love! It looks fabulous. I just love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Shelia,
ReplyDeleteLoved visiting your gorgeous sun porch, it's so charming and definitely a place I would like to sit with a good book and while away an afternoon, or two.

ReplyDeleteHi Shelia!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little space you have to play with! I love all your reds & whites in there & I love the new look, too.
I had to laugh...you sounded like Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With The Wind" .."I'll worry about that tomorrow". LOL
Goodness. You have been very busy! I love your redwork ... gorgeous. The little Texas table is just perfect with its stars and your teddies would be right at home at my house!!!! :D :D :D Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteWell, I love your sun porch anyway you fix it! It looks great! I LOVE white whicker to pieces and hope to have my own set again some day.
It's so refreshing to see someone enjoying their home and tearing things up! You go for it, girl! I had been on a high energy spree too but now? Hmmm... well, there's always tomorrow- right?! ♥
It's such a cheerful, happy place and puts a big smile on my face. Put the kettle on and I will hop on over. May I bring Bentley too?
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
Sheila, your switcheroo is great. I love where you moved the table too, it highlights it more and I agree, it does seem to make it bigger. EVerything is so pretty! Your pillows are wonderful and I just love your painting on your Texas table. Keep the project energy flowing!!!!
ReplyDeleteOH Sheila,

I love your sunporch. I also envy your possession of a sunporch....I would love to have one...only with lots of air conditioning...I loooovvveee air
ReplyDeleteconditioning !!!
Hi Shelia, Yes, it is really me. My grands all left today and I grabbed my computer and sighed a happy sigh!
ReplyDeleteYour sunporch is gorgeous. I do like the changes you made including your Texas star table. Smile. Your cushions and your pillows (especially made by you) are so pretty. I love the cheerful colors. You have a way with knowing what looks just right. I too love the look of wicker. I know you had fun with that tear you were on!!!
I also enjoyed your previous post. the book shelves look wonderful and your doggy collection is awesome. I too have read all of Jan Karon's books on the Mitford series. A wonderful series that my daughter told me about.
You are a sweetie my dear friend.
Love, Jeanne
Happy Sunday, Shelia!
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a beautiful sun porch...it is warm, inviting, and filled with lots of charm! I love the way you accessorize and place things together, you are very talented! The way you have placed the wicker furniture and side table, well, you have framed the space to perfection, well done! Hope you enjoy the day and thank you so much for sharing! XOXO ~Liz
I love the bright new look of your sun porch! There must be something in the air because I also felt the need to change things up. I love the reds, especially that toile pillow on the little wicker love seat.
ReplyDeleteShelia, I love your sunny sun porch! I like how you reversed the furnishings. It looks so pretty and bright. I hope you tear down the other side so we can see it too. :-) Have a great week. Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteI love it girly. Red is sooo fab! I miss it so much!
ReplyDeletexo~Rebecca
It is GORGEOUS and I love it all...the wicker, the rooster motif, the toile and the reds!!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all that yummy red toile! Love it! Your sun porch looks great (it looked great before too)!
ReplyDeleteLike a little doll house your sweet back porch!
ReplyDeleteChange her up anyway you like shelia...every arrangement looks great.
Fun just to change it around.
We're like grown up "little girls", changing our doll houses around!
Happy Sunday,
xoxo~Kathy @
sweet Up-North Mornings...
I just love love love that porch. White wicker always makes me happy. And the toile fabric, oh my! That room is just so inviting with the tea-set on the table. Keep going....you are on a mission. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful room!
ReplyDeleteI like it either way! The rooster lamp is too cute.
ReplyDeleteDropping by from Met Monday. I'll hope you'll come see the nursery I helped create for my first grandchild.

Lovely room...but what really caught my eye was that cute table with stars!
ReplyDeleteStop over for a last chance to enter a vintage linen giveaway!
Charming, everything looks beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice. You have used such pretty, cheerful colors. It is lovely.(-:
ReplyDeleteI love all of the red and white, it's so pretty! I love the before and after.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila! I'm so glad you posted this as now I don't feel so alone as I too have been changing rooms around at our place too! My family leave the house for just an hour or 2 and then come home to find that I've rearranged several rooms! Lucky they don't mind.
ReplyDeleteHope you have another fun week!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
Such a beautiful and inviting sun porch! I just love those red toile pillows and roosters.. everything looks so pretty with those white wicker furniture... The rooster lamp is my favorite! I could stay in this sun porch all year long. Loved how you named your new camera Reba and nice to meet Mary as well. Thanks for having us at your beautiful porch. Visiting from The Seasonal Sunday's party. Have a great week!~Poppy

Visiting from BNOP. It's so fun to change and rearrange to keep everything exciting and new. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYour sun room is so pretty, Sheila! I love the white wicker and your cushions are so cheerful. I also love your sweet shy angel statue. It's fun to rearrange furniture from time to time and make a room feel new!
ReplyDeleteHey Sheila-I have been awol for a while! I definitely like this better. I like having the window open more! Isn't it great that you have the room to play with the arrangement!? Too hot here to do much--even the AC can't keep up with the heat. Fortunately, I'm just rocking our new grandbaby right now :)
ReplyDeleteI think the changes look magnificent! What a fun little spot to hang out. Glad you swallowed that energy pill! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to rearrange?? Red is my favorite color and I was in love with your room at first sight after seeing all of that red. Your red and white fabrics are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy!It all looks so pretty- a great place to sit with a book and a cup of tea.
Your pillows are great.
Carolyn
Sweet Shelia...your pops of red make me smile!
ReplyDeleteThis is somewhere I'd love to just sit back and enjoy!
~Jo
Good Monday Morning Shelia *hugs*
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly been busy! I do the same. I just had my second "spring" cleaning of the spring/summer season last week. I have yet to finish up...but it was a good week tossing and sorting through.
The room looks lovely. I like all the red and white. I think the placement of the furniture looks great..a change is always refreshing.
have a great day
Judi
Bless my heart, I have sunporch envy! It's on our agenda to build one next year, and I am counting the days. It's the thing I miss most about our old house. I like your table where it is now, and the "children" in the wagon are most charming.
ReplyDeleteHello Shelia
ReplyDeleteyour room and everything looks soooo nice. I could stay there all day. I love the red curtains and the toile pillows and i think it's a good idea to place the sofa in front of the window.
I wish you a lot of beautiful hours in your fantastic room.
Have a nice day,
Sabine
Sweet Shelia, your sun porch is absolutely divine. I could spend hours in it with a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are feeling better.
You are truly special, Shelia.
XOXO
Barb
Hello Shelia
ReplyDeleteI am loving your pretty sun porch. And I now have that song in my head!;-)
Girlfriend, you are on quite a "tear." I wish someone would come tear up my house. It could use it. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour sunroom is so versatile, Shelia...amazing all the options you have in there. I love the floor in there and of course, you know I love all your beautiful white wicker. Have fun tearing up today...and send me some of whatever vitamin you are taking! :)
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI adore all the changes that have taken place on your porch...and this has to be the best!!! The colors are so vibrant! I don't imagine we get the truest picture of the colors, but that Reba (camera) definitely takes gorgeous photos!!! (With the help of your talented dainty fingers!Ha!Ha!) Thank you for sharing all your labors of love!
Fondly,
Pat
Shelia, you can bet your chicken feathers I can loooove those pretty toile and rooster pillows. The whole room looks so inviting, and I love how cozy this sitting area is now. Shoot! You've made me want to go rearrange my sunroom. laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sun porch. It looks so inviting, a really nice place to relax or catch up with friends or families.
ReplyDeleteAdorable porch! I've been so wanting a wicker set. I just adore the pillows all piled upon the settee. Those two on either side, with the ruffles are so cute!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful sun room. I love the red pillows you stitched with the roosters. They are adorable. All of your decor in this space is very pretty. Thanks for linking it up at Home Sweet Home!
Sherry
What an absolutely lovely room Shelia! So charming and cheerful...kind of like it's owner I'd say! :-) Thank you so much for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday!
ReplyDeleteVanessa
Charming ... inviting ... relaxing ... colorful and beautiful are just a few of the words that come to mind after touring your sunrooom, Shelia! And, I love the new arrangement, too. It does make it look a bit larger, too. I love all of the red accents ... the pillow on the loveseat is my fave. What time are cocktails being served ... I'm on my way! Becca
ReplyDeleteHello Sheila - so lovely, bright and cheerful! A great redo! Just love the red Toile and the Roosters - the angel is perfect, the stars on the table - very well done and the shutter with the tins - gorgeous - love your new sun porch arrangement!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
Kathy
Hi Sheila,
ReplyDeleteYour sunroom is so pretty and I love the white wicker with the red cushions. Thank you for joining my Open House party.
xo,
Sherry
What you did is so inviting. Very colorful and cheerful. Nobody would feel bored when they got to enter your home. Everything are just so lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI am loving your porch and am visualing all of it. I'm porch crazy, too. I laughed when I read that you called the wicker furniture piece a "she". I call the red cabinet on my porch the same! How fun! Guess, I missed this when the grands were visiting! Glad I FOUND it.
