| After painting the first layer of paint over the green sponge paint |
It started with lighthouse border print and outdated sponge painted walls. Definitely not the worst room in the house as far as renovation needs go, but still needed a little TLC. When my mom came to visit a few months ago, we repainted and tore down the border print. I wanted to keep the colors simple because the huge windows brought in lots of natural color from the trees outside. I also plan to always have the ledges filled with plants and flowers.
I bought this wicker lounge on a swap and sell site for super cheap and bleached the cushion until the stains were all gone (although it has been impossible to keep clean). I also redid the support straps with a heavyweight polypropylene webbing (seatbelt like material) and a staple gun. The original straps were a leather type material and had rotted so they couldn't support any weight without breaking.
I also found these incredibly comfortable oversized chairs at a garage sale in great condition except for the arms that were stained pretty badly. I tried cleaning them, with no luck, so I found some nice chair covers instead and changed the whole look of the chairs.

I found these cute planters at an outlet store in town and the macrame plant hangers from amazon.
I may add more (probably fake) plants over time, but for now I'm super happy with how it turned out!
