Antique Wicker Makeover

My antique wicker needed to find a place
inside my house.

I had been storing it in the garage.

To make room for it something had to go.

I sold the sectional sofa on craigslist.
 It was moved in here 'temporarily'.
It's been in 4 homes over 30 years
 and reupholstered. This small sitting area
in my bedroom was the perfect spot
 for the wicker furniture.

I love antique wicker and have collected

a few pieces over the years.

I made the mistake of putting it outside on

the covered patio when we first moved to
Florida. It looked great for a while but
tropical weather is not kind to natural wicker.

It was ruined and needed  major repairs.

I bought the sofa and rocker in 1989

at the Kane County Flea Market.

We gave everything a rescue.

after

We cleaned it, glued it and painted it.

Sometimes I use this wicker hamper, 

(a bulk trash rescue painted white) as

 a side table. It's filled with bedroom

Christmas greenery.

The wood trunk is filled with more
Christmas things for the bedroom.

I found this small child's table in Dallas.
The owner had an old black and white photo
 of it with two little girls having a tea party.

Here it all is!

 This antique wicker sewing stand has always
been inside.

 I did paint the gold-framed garage
sale mirror white.

I always bring a glass of water with me to

 bed at night. It fits into this Longaberger 

round pencil basket. Wood makes a great

natural insulator

 The blue sign that's used in the guest room 

at Christmas goes in here the rest of the year

.....and to all a goodnight. (See that HERE.)

*The blue throw (just tucked in) on the sofa
cushions and pillow sham were from Marshalls.
The chair cushion has a square tablecloth by
Ralph Lauren ticked in. Also from Marshalls
