Salutations! How about a bouquet of bright pink blooms and an heirloom bench for a shot of shabby vintage style on the sun porch? It’s a rustic pine bench hand-built by my great grandpa Tipton; how funny that here she is all these years later adding a dose of charm to our sun porch for fall.
I foofed this vintage beauty with a few shabby chic pillows to soften her up and add a little color. I hope she’s an admirer of soft blue florals and cabana stripes like I happen to be.
I’m not sure what these bright pink daisy shaped blooms are, but I’m feeling quite lucky to have a little something blooming in the back garden — not much in bloom around town that I’ve seen. They make their entrance in late summer and stick around through early fall and spread easily. They’re always a nice little treat after the garden is on its way out. And that color, oh yeah, I’ll take a bouquet of hot pink happy please!
Nothing says fall like an ivory knit throw all nestled up waiting for a snuggle. These have found a place all over the cottage softening things up and adding a touch of cozy comfort. And ivory is so easy to bring in to just about any color pallet. So I chucked this little sweetie on the wicker to make a rather summery chair feel a little more like fall.
My honey keeps joking with me that it looks like we’ve been robbed on the sun porch. It was getting dreadfully bare at one point — Is that an invitation to go shopping dear? All jokes aside, I have something in the works that involves wrought iron and matelassé and I think the bench is also really helping. Especially since I filled every square inch with chachkies!
Happy Fall!

That bench looks great there, Sally. But seriously, every time I see your floor and painted brick wall, I die a little 😉 My sunporch would have those in my dreams….
What a lovely treasure to have handed down from previous generations. The bench looks great in your sunroom, and I love how you’ve softened it with your pretty pillows!

Hi Laura!Thanks so much for popping over and welcome!
I like the little fall accents you have added to your sun porch. I can’t wait to see what you add to it in the future!
Oh yes! I think you should milk this for all it’s worth and go on a shoppng spree for the porch! LOL! You can say it was your husbands idea, right? Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing out there.
OH man I am dying over this room…the brick floors bring back sweet memories for me! As a kid we lived in a house with brick floors and I have always loved that look! It looks beautiful!
