my favorite room

I joining Poppies at Play today for my favorite room in my house.
Go see Andy's lovely blog for more favorite rooms!

So...
welcome to my sunroom!


We love this room!  My architect daughter designed it and
we had it built just a few years ago.


I did a lot of sewing for this room.  The dining chairs were from Lowe's
and covered in a brown tweed.  I made the drop cloth for the table and added a glass top.


I bought all the fabric on-line.  This one was love-at-first-sight!
The fabric is all indoor/outdoor & very durable.

 

There's a cozy corner to read or to watch big snowflakes fall in the winter.



There's a nice big chair to rock.


Little birds are here and there

 

in my painting,


on a sconce,


even on a bird's nest table.....


and there's usually a kitty or two.



Lots of spots for my favorite blue and white collections, too.



Many windows to keep the plants & flowers happy.

Thanks for visiting!  Last chance for my give-away here!

    I love your sunroom. I have posted mine today too for the same party. Come on over for a visit. I love how yours sits lower than mine and you can look out on the yard easier. Your daughter did a great job of designing it for you.

    No WONDER you love this room!!!! It is fantastic.

    We had a house once with a "window" room - - - it was our favorite too, though it was no even CLOSE to being as great as THIS one.

    Oh my -- what a stunning sunroom! And isn't it magical to watch the snow fall from such a place? We live in our sunroom as much as possible, but yours ... wow! It's really special. Nice job on the part of your daughter! Lovely. I love all the blue & white, too -- if I ask nicely, may I have that table lamp? No? Oh well, just thought I'd ask...
    Best wishes, Cass

    Carol, your sunroom is so lovely!!! Where to begin all that I love about your sunroom? First, your windows, your art, the blue and white canister with a heart kind of motif, print, your bird theme and bird watching room also, the birds in the windowsill, the bird endtable, your fabric choices and your cozy corner.

    I guess you can tell I love your room.
