harlow home style. sunshine + green glass.

sunroom image by nbklx17 on flickr.com

On this dreary, snowy day here in Colorado, we're dreaming of sunny skies and warmer weather. This lovely sunroom looks like the perfect place to spend an afternoon, while sipping an iced tea and reading our favorite fashion magazines. The vintage green glass pieces also caught our attention, with the way they glisten in the sunlight. If you like this look and green glass, be sure to check out these similar pieces from our vintage boutique:

vintage green glass artistic footed dish, $12.

vintage green glass vase, $10.

vintage green glass footed dish, $8.

We also think this vintage pink & gold shabby chic bark cloth would look fabulous made into pillows and added to the white wicker furniture:

 vintage pink / gold floral fabric (shabby chic), $30.

We hope this post brings a little sunshine your way!

With the New Year here, we have been thinking about a simple redecorating project for our harlow ~ monroe home office. Something simple & complementary to the turquoise and brown palette already in place. In the process, we have developed a mad crush on coral hues! Coral looks fabulous when mixed with turquoise & brown home decor pieces. Each of these Etsy finds above would make great little accents to add that perfect punch of coral we are looking for. What do you think?
