~WELCOME ABOARD~

Hello Girls...well today Our Hostess Barb's at Grits and Glamour



Is having a Porch and Patio Party...How fun is this going to be seeing everyone great out door space...I don't have a porch ready yet to show...But I asked Barb if I could do my Sun room and she being a kind Southern lady of course told me Yes !!
So "WELCOME ABOARD" my mountain top girls....ha ha!!




Please grab a cup of hot coffee and a fresh baked sugar free cookie and I'll show you around my Sun room....Don't you love my little boat tray....and notice even the coffee mugs have Lighthouse's on them...



This Sun room we just added in 2006 and it's a four season..its all glass...oh and don't use a weed eater next to it...Len did this after I told him not to and broke the window..Can you say the man needs to listen to me !!
I have always loved the ocean...but of course I live in the mountains...So with this room I decided I would bring the ocean to me...

See I even have a Lobster pillow...Len painted the floor in here OCEAN Blue for me...Hey I can pretend you know...


Toss your hat on the chair...and will take a little tour.... This was My Daddy's hat from cabo...sighs..

Now this is what you'll see if you leave my kitchen...this is the left side of room...

This was my Mama's Bathing suit from the fifties...And the fish ball hanging there My Aunt brought me home from Guam...

Walking in from out doors....

Now this little table I just fell in love with when I seen it in a catalog...love the little Oar legs on it and the boat shaped top...Just knew I had to order it...The tray on the coffee table goes inside of it...

Now I shown everyone my Diving Helmet that Len got me for Christmas last Year...and the Old port hole...this sits on top of my Soda Frig... Picture is of the Hole in the rock"...Cabo..

A fish net I hung up with S-Hooks added some shells, an oar I got at Second Sunday Swap meet that I paint Yellow and some of my Aunt's Old Shell necklace she brought back from Guam...

An Antique ship's lantern...

Now these were some old dirty shelf's I painted white added to the only wall out here...Don't you love Paint?? It always makes everything so fresh and new again...

Now this is a drop front desk that Len had and girls it was so ugly and brown...I just painted this last weekend white and then Painted the ship on it...See it's all about the Ocean..

"FULL STREAM" ahead....Look even my rug has anchor's on it and Sailor's knots...

Ship's Cleat's...

Now this sign I just love it fore warn's you before you come into my house that their no Martha here ha ha!! OMG I can see me in the window...

Just another sign hanging from my Sea Shell wreath...But will tell you Len thinks this sign is for everyone but him ha ha!!

Well girls I hope you enjoyed seeing my little Sun room in the Mountains...Now Please go see Barb, Thank you Barb for this fun day for us gals...

May All of you have a GREAT Day...

Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

~ OCEAN SPRAY & TREE SAP ~

Good Morning Guys...Well I thought Susan at Between Naps on the Porch and her new thing Met Monday as I call it would be a fun thing to do.... Please go by and see Susan to see more great spaces today..http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ Susan is the one who does all those BEAUTIFUL Tablescapes on Tuesday...

Now this is my Sun room...we just added this on to the house in 2005 and never did any thing with the cement flooring...we were at Lowe's one day trying to find tile for it...but told the sale man I didn't want anything thing that when wet we would slip on...as this room is attached to my kitchen door and we go out and in it every day..we have one of those homes that no one ever goes to our front door.. You know the old back door guest are the best ??? any way we got this paint that is for garage floors...First Len had to use an acid bath and scrub it...wait for 48 hours to make sure it was dry...and the paint went on then ...

Here is Len rolling on the paint and of course he is also fogging the air with his mouth...which he does every time he into a project...Oh!! my sweet little ears and what I have to listen to when he gets into a project...sounds just like the dad in the movie "the Christmas Story" fixing the furnace lol !! This floor is so great as I can just mop it and nothing stains it..and girls Len did a wonderful job on it...see where he taped off the glass even.. he did that because he didn't want to hear me fog the air ha ha!!

Now girl I love my Sun room...and the reason we painted the floor Ocean Blue is because I live in the mountains but do love the Ocean..so I tried to give this room a Nautical look and also I had so many Nautical stuff in my barn that I needed to find a home for... So Girls " WELCOME ABOARD " my mountain top...


Click to enlarge any picture

This is whats called a Four Season Sun room all glass ceiling and walls...and its so great to sit out here and watch the deer come out and eat...we have at least 6 bird feeders here and 3 Peanut boxes to feed the squirrels... I love doing dinners out here during the summer months

Just look at that sky is it not pretty ?? and you can see all the cedar and pines trees we have here..and that is a blue light in the ceiling fan which also has clear blades on it...

See how pretty that blue floor looks ??? and by the chair there is my Lemon tree...which I love when it comes into bloom or the sweet smell is wonderful in this room then...

Now this is from a ship it a 1910 Anunciator from an engine room ...and those things at the bottom are ships Cleats... The Ball hanging above it is a "fish Ball" that my Aunt and Uncle gave me years ago...these were use to float fish nets with...they bought this back from Guam to me...

Now here is a Fish net and an old Oar that I found at my Second Sunday swap meet last year and the straw hat was my Dad's Fishing hat from their home in Cabo, Mexico and just some shells I have hanging...I made S hooks so I could hang things down in here as it has no walls.. and Girls I can't stand to have any thing naked...

Now here is an Old port hole that I also have shells in and that Picture above is the "Hole in the Rock" in Cabo...My mama had a gal painted that from a picture she took one day when we were out on a glass bottom boat...and the little Picture is of their home they had in Cabo...

Now!! this is my Newest Oldest thing in here...its a driving helmet from 1941 USS Navy its all brass and cooper...Len got this for me for Christmas... Is this not the coolest thing?? it sit on top of our soda frig... Told you girls I like weird things...Maybe that why I love Len....So there you have seen my Mountain, Ocean Sun room...Thanks for visiting Sure hope all the ocean spray didn't ruin your hair do and that the pine tree sap comes off your shoes...

Have a safe and blessed day dear friends...

Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
