My Parents' Sunroom that I Recently Redecorated

I was truly flattered when my parents asked me to redecorate a few of their spaces for them ... one of which being their sunroom. As they live on the ocean, I wanted to bring the color palette of their amazing views *IN-side!* I truly hope that they're enjoying it!

I chose Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue for the walls.

BEFORE ... beautiful and bold shades of reds, golds and greens filled their spaces, but it was time for a change!

AFTER: a calmer, relaxing space! We're going to be adding bamboo shades in the near future, too.

Fun spool table from Ballards paired with a fun, glass lamp from Pottery Barn. I chose four of these comfy, swivel rockers from Capri Furniture.

Of course, I just *had* to add an oversized, vintage boat! I also painted the table Annie Sloane's Old White chalk paint, followed by a bit of distressing.

Beautiful room. Looks like you matched the blue of the ocean perfectly. Love that Pottery Barn lamp!

LOL, Susan. Yes, they have seen it and, they "say" they love it, but I just want to make sure! :)

@Adventures - WHEW!! You had me worried there. I kept thinking well gee, she did this for her parents and doesn't even know if they like it or not!! I'm sure they must be very proud of a daughter who's so talented and probably brag to ALL their friends, and rightfully so!!

LOL, Susan ... actually, to be honest, they have named the room "the Sanctuary" ... is that a good thing? :)

the Sanctuary?!?!?? that's one of the highest compliments! Your parents are lucky to have you and I'm sure the same holds true for you or you wouldn't have gone through all the trouble. Love it when a plan comes together :)

This is so beautiful! I've done some decorating for my parents too and really haven't gotten too much "praise". I think it's one of those "a prophet in his own land....." sort of things. They know I'm a decorator but don't really understand how it all works. To them, I'm just one of their kids ;-) I LOVE this room! All those pretty light colors!

What a beautiful tranquil room. The colors are among my very favorite. The blue is very close to a color I have used in my bedroom and will be re-painting very shortly in the same color. You did a great job, and if your parents are calling it their sanctuary you know they are happy.
