Last year I was lucky enough to score this sweet wicker set for $30 on Craiglist (CL rocks!). After I contacted the seller, I literally grabbed the hubby, jumped in the car and rushed over to the seller's house, just she wouldn't sell it to anyone else. The whole transaction took about an hour. The set was perfect except for the colors.
And After - I added a few coats of Rustoluem's Painters Touch spray paint (in Satin Espresso) and a ton of cushions from Homegoods and Viola - a whole new look that I just love.
An old toy box got a makeover with the same spray paint. I use this to hold sporting equipment and water guns.
But guess what?? It's not complete. Currently I have this chandelier hanging in the sunroom.
A look like this this?

Ooh Tana I love your sun room furniture. The pillows and the cushions look great together. So nice and bright! What a great space to relax in!!!
I totally understand you. Sun rooms are the best thing ever!
Love how you transformed the sofa. I have a similar one that I'd like to paint, but I am not sure it will work because the choice of paint is quite limited (due to this being a smaller market with quite strict regulation on all chemical stuff).
Good luck in your light-fixture-hunting. Personally I would go for electrical lights, because candles always make me nervous. So easy to forget.
Love all your pillow choices so cute! I envy that you have a lil private place to relax.Enjoy!
I'm with you girl, Craig's list rocks! Thanks for visiting my blog today. You have some awesome projects going on here! I love the whicker set and your fabric is so cheerful. I re-did my concrete floors in my house too, don't you love them?
Looks great. I'm wanting to stain my wicker darker too. As for the lighting, my vote is the lanterns on the table.
I have that same candle chandelier in my sun room and same concerns so i went to micheals and bought glass votive holders that insert into the candle bases...you might have to glue them in....but you can burn candle without the worrY
Great transformation and great score on the set. I love the chandy that you pictured with the jars in it!
What a wonderful space you've created to relax in!

yay, it looks so good out there! i am loving the bright colors you used, very summery and refreshing.
You did a great job making over the wicker with fresh paint. It looks brand new. You also have a lovely space out there. Our HomeSense has wicker and metal lanterns with solar candles or battery candles if you are worried about safety, and you may be able to find some in a home decor store near you.
What a great job you've done creating a cozy, inviting space. I can imagine spending hours there just enjoying being! I like the lanterns.
Looks lovely! Great score on the furniture!
WOW! I love it! The brown wicker and bright cushions are stunning.

I can see why its your favorite room in the house...well sort of in the house. It looks huge. The wicker looks so much nicer now. I like the candlier (spelling?) with the crystals. I love fancy with casual. So nice together. Thank you for visiting my porch.
Hey there~ Haven't seen you in a bit! I love your wicker and sweet outdoor room~ I love the lanterns for your space- so charming! Have a great weekend! :)
Hopping over from Censational Girls Outdoor Party. Hope you enjoy my 'patio time' post. (link #205)
What a great space you have created. I can see why it is a favorite. I am a huge fan of Homegoods, too and have one less than a mile from my home.
Happy summer . . . fondly,

Wow, I LOVE your sunroom too!! Great job with the wicker furniture redo!! Seriously, looks like brand new furniture. Can I come over for a margarita now?? : )
Looking good! You did an outstanding job on the wicker makeover and you just can't go wrong with craigslist...so many great deals out there. I see we both enjoy our outdoor living spaces...I much rather be outside than inside.
Blessings,
Linda

It IS lovely! The orange is so fun!
Stopping over from Ten June's Summer Fun Link Party. Love this makeover. Don't you just love what paint does to completely change the look of something. Hope you will stop by my blog and say Hi! :) Thanks for sharing!
Love your look and the work you've done. You're making a lovely home.
That is fact, not flattery.
The following should be viewed as "information" and not criticism...
'Viola' is a string instrument similar to a violin.
'Voila' is a french word indicating "there you are".
Former teachers just can't give up teaching... please forgive me. :)
