PORCH MAKEOVER

OK...should we start from the beginning.

I mean you can't just throw down the pictures with out a little build up right?

The WAY before.....

Screened in porch with floors painted SW Iron Ore.

Ceiling painted SW Waterscape 6470

The inspiration.....

The furniture was the Saybrook Collection from Pottery Barn.  The husband of this client is 6'4'' tall and he wanted a sofa that he could really lounge on.  Well short of a twin bed...this was the best I could do with the space that I had.

The requirements....color please.  A dining section....and seating for 6.  Not too cluttered.  Not too many pillows....does she know me? 
 AND...low maintenance.  Everything is indoor/outdoor fabric except the tablecloth.  But it was so dang cute I had to get it.

Alrighty then.....after ordering the furniture we decided the coffee table was too matchy so I took it back.  They did not like the glass on top either.  Husband wanted something he could put his feet up on.

So I started searching for a replacement.  It had to be the same size.  I looked all over the internet.

I even went to Scott's and found nada....

These were cool...a little overdone but too big and masculine for this area.  Nope.

I saw this at Scott's.  I liked it but client did not.  "What are those legs?".....OK...never mind.  Probably a little too weathered for them.

Then I saw this in the Ballard's catalog.

The size was almost perfect.  She liked it!  So I thought a trip to the "Backroom" was in order.  I am always trying to save my clients money so I can do more with the room.

Did not find it there but found these....on sale and 50% off!!!

The Durham bunching tables.  BOOM!  Smaller.  Durable.  In all of their "feet resting" glory.  Sold to the haggard decorator who was getting pretty frustrated.

So here it is before the accessories.....

And after she got all decorated up........

I ordered the rug from Wayfair.  Orange lantern is from Crate and Barrel, along with the navy blue pillows.  The yellow one is from Target, the blue greek key and the turquoise one are from Homegoods.  Yes...when putting a room together you have to go everywhere.

Orange pillows from Crate and Barrel.

Yellow bowl from World Market as are the wine glasses with the chalk paint on them.  White tray is from West Elm and so is the blue throw.  Napkins are from Erika Reade a cute store here in Atlanta.

My painted bucket!  

Blue vase from Michaels...candle holder and white coasters from West Elm.

Tablecloth is from Anthro.  Tray and white pot is from PB.

Stool from PB.

So there you have it.....

The best part was having my niece Caitlin who is graduating from UGA with a degree in design this May come and help me!

We had so much fun....and finished in 1/2 the time.  So of course we had to go to the mall, have lunch and do some retail therapy!

They LOVED it.......

That is all we want...a little love right?

On to the next room......

This is so me......
