~ When Metal Becomes Art ~

The walls in the sun porch are wood Mr P. chose

when we built the house. At the time I didn't

have an opinion one way or the other. Well,

I sure do now. lol Especially after taking

these pictures. I find the walls are

"way" to yellow,  you can see

one side is darker than the other.

No,

it's not your computer it's
MY WALLS!!!

Yikes...

Earlier in the year I painted all of the upstairs

a beautiful fawn color, called Furry Ottertail.

I've  been

thinking about painting the sun porch.

This might have tipped the scales towards

the direction of painting
 the sun porch walls. :-))
You'll have to stay tuned to see
what the verdict is going to be. :-))
Wonder if we should take
a poll? lol

Many years back I started collecting these large

and "very" heavy Architectural metal pieces. At one time

they were scattered through out the sun porch

in various vignettes. After painting the wicker

furniture black, I grouped all of them on the wall

for more of a statement.

Along with all of the metal pieces

I also have

a collection of

birdhouses. Imagine that!

Me

with another collection. :-))

I'll hush while you to

take a closer look . 

Floral pillows belong to the sofa

across the room. However, the

wicker settee looked a tad

on the empty side. :-)) Normally

when my clients are buying new sofa's

or chairs I recommend solids. You can

easily change a pillow with less

expense than you can purchasing a

new sofa when your tastes change. However, this

room "screamed" for something fun and happy.

I've owned the sofa for a few years now

and still smile each time I look at it.

I'll share the other side of the sun porch
with you in a future post.

The Cocker Spaniel pillow was

purchased I believe through

Touchstone Catalog many

years ago. I'm still looking for one

with an all black Cocker Spaniel like

our Miss Scooter. If any of you
run across one, please email me
and let me know. I'm sure I'll
be all over buying it. :-)) Do you see the
kitty in the pillow?And that my friends is a small gathering
of how a wall in the sun porch
looks today.
 Now,
   this time next week......
