There's an Elephant in the Room


When I ran across this photo, I immediately escaped to a tranquil, restful place. I could just imagine myself lying back on this sofa, reading a good book and daydreaming of all things beautiful!

Although I'm usually not a huge fan of wicker furniture, this elephant table is just too adorable - what a great conversation piece! It adds just the touch of quirkiness this space needed. Oh, and I love the orange side tables for a punch of color, and the sofa pillows add that summery "seaside" touch to the room. All in all, the room is the perfect blend of eclectic, comfortable pieces. What do you think?

  1. Hi Stephanie, Thanks so much for finding and following my blog. Now I'm doing the same :)
    I quite like wicker at the moment - I also like it painted. It's a pretty room though I'd need a bigger table for all my mess!

  11. Adorable. I grew up with a sofa and armchairs like these - wish my mother still had them (they'd be mine now). This is the 3rd elephant I've seen this morning and it's on 10:00 a.m. I hope that is some sort of good omen.

  13. Not usually a fan of white wicker but this is just too cute to pass up! My daughter would scream "L-FANT, L-FANT, MOMMY!!" Then I would love the table forever.
    Great outdoor room. It looks so tranquil I could take a nap.
