Wicker-ed

Okay I'm in love with wicker furniture. My mom had this totally awesome wicker love seat and round side-table that she got from my sister's first house she bought. It was like a whole set...a love seat, a big chair, a coffee table/bench, and a small round table. I think it was the original wicker color when she found it and she painted it a very tropical green color and put it on our deck. She and Dad just renovated their deck at the house so they gave me the love seat and the small table. I bought some spray paint from Lowes(t) called Espresso by Home Accents or something like that. It took 7 cans of spray paint to coat the whole love seat...but it looks so awesome. We have a small little indoor brick patio/sun room when you walk through the dining room. Our plan is to paint the walls a milder yellow color from the same pallet as the Canyon Sun that is in the kitchen/dining area. The wicker furniture is going to transform that space into a conversation/sitting area. My dad is going to put big hooks in the studs to hang a hammock from. I have a blue and white hammock I picked up in El Salvador a few years ago that would be perfect for the space (we will probably keep it in the storage closet in the sun room and pull it out when we are ready to relax.. We hope to hang some artwork and pictures from our travels to decorate the room and illicit the feeling of a tropical escape. 

Also this weekend we will be getting the new refrigerator, washing machine, microwave hood (to go above the stove) and dishwasher to put in the kitchen! My fabulous friend is going to help me paint the master bedroom so be expecting pictures of all of these house updates this week.
