Last Saturday I posted about my friend, Rose, and her whimsical screened-in back porch. Today I want to show some more of that fun place to visit. Here's a corner of Blue ceramics. Even the display rack is painted Blue.
The decorator made a spot for my friend's husband. Bob's overstuffed chair is just out of the camera range. He sits there and reads the newspaper every day. Notice the Blue cabinet.
Here's a table and chair set with several colors represented. How many Blues can you spot?
The lady who painted the pieces in this room is a decorator who said she always wanted to do something like this. The lace on the table top is painted! Look at the precise details!
Here's the base of that table. Notice the Blue chairs. See that bug on the bottom?
Here's a close-up of the lady bug.
I sure enjoyed sharing Rose's play land porch with you. I've saved a bit more for next Pink Saturday and next Blue Monday. Meanwhile, here's a picture of my friend Rose and her husband, Bob. Please note that Bob is wearing a Blue shirt!
I'm linking in with Rhondi today to celebrate the porch. Check it out.
I have THREE books listed for giveaways! Check out that sidebar!

What a great porch! All the details are just fabulous! Happy Blue Monday and June to you Sally!
Oh Rose's porch is so fabulous. I love all the details and that lace table top is amazing! It would be fun to sit in this room and sip morning coffee!!
Oh, I love it all! The colors and designs remind me of Debbie Mumm and Mary Englebreit in happiness value with a bit of Mrs Potts and Chip from Beauty and the Beast thrown in. :)
Oh Sally I love the table. You have given me more idea for the base of my blue table. Out comes the paint tomorrow unless the sun shows it's pretty face around here. It's been so cold and wet.
Happy Packing and Happy Blue Monday Sally.
Love Claudie

Looks like someone's as big a fan of blue as you are!
Sally, I loved your pictures especially the one of Bob's Corner. I suspect, given his lovely smile, that there is little time to be spent there. Have a wonderful day - happy Blue Monday.
Love Rose's porch and the beautiful ceramics. Happy Blue Monday! ~Debbie

Happy Blue Monday,

Love all that blue.
Maybe i should keep mine after all.

Those are really pretty blues.
Happy Blue Monday.
WOW that lace tablecloth is amazing and how intricate and delicate looking it is too! and I love the ladybird :) take care, Judith
What a cute porch with all the different blue accents. Have a great Monday.
Happy Blue Monday, Sally.
I am so enjoying your friend's porch, and I look forward to seeing even more.
I had to put in the main url for my blog. Mr. Linky wouldn't accept the post url today. He said it had too many characters.
Love Rose's screen porch. I wish mine was even half as cute.
Thanks for hosting and Happy Blue Monday.
My favorite is the blue polka-dot tea set. How sweet is that.
Love the powder blue shade of the ceramics!
And that painted table is simply awesome!
Sally, What a beautiful table, and my husband would love Bob's corner, please tell Rose how pretty I think everything is.
That porch is fabulous! I LOVE all the whimsy. The little ladybug on the table bottom is just adorable. Hope you have a great Monday Sally!
Love all the blues and whimsy. Very delightful!....Christine
What a wonderful place to relax and visit. And no bugs!
On the bottom rack, looks like you have some stuff with grapes on it. That's the theme in my own kitchen - grapes!

Love the job she did on the table. I have always wanted to do a project with lace and paint.
Great Blues today,
Candy
What a fun post, Sally, and a great collection of blues! I would never have guessed that table top was painted...it looks like a lacy tablecloth! Amazing!
That is a great porch and I LOVE the table with the little lady bug. So cute!
Love all her Blue... makes me want to screen my porch in... but I think it would just "trap" all that Texas dust... but a girl can dream can't she...
I love that her hubby has his own little nook... Every man needs his own easy chair on the porch... I hope Ricky doesn't see this one! LOL
have a happy-happy Blue Monday...
hugs. Dixie

Rose's porch is delightful. Love the blue polka dots! And some of her things remind me of McKenzie Childs..
Lovely post, Sally, have a great Blue Monday!
Hi Sally
I've linked up with you. Each Monday I think of doing this, but never in time! I love your friend's porch. I have the same yellow teapot as her.
Hugs, Rhondi
Sally, I love that table...over the top whimsy! I will be back to Blue Mondays next week...just can't seem to combine things.
♥, Susan
Hello Sally! ohhh how I've missed you & all my blue friends! LOL, finally had to put thecomputer down & buy a new one, so much catching up to do lol, great post! loved it all!
Helen
Sally, the blues look wonderful on that porch! The table painted to look like lace is outstanding!

What a cute and delightful room! I love it!
Oh Sally I am loving this porch...how cute is that table and charis..all the little details are great...thanks for sharing this...May you have a great day my friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
I love the table and the painted base. I had to blow the picture up to see that the bug was "painted"!!! cute!
That's a lot of work invested but well worth it! Those blue candle sticks are pretty cool and the painted table lace is a conversation piece to be sure!
Hi Sally,
Love your friends porch! It's beautiful! I have posted mine at my place, Sherrie's Stuff. Have a great day!!
Sherrie
What a fun and whimcial porch! I love it and especially the table petestal. Happy Blue Monday Sally ♥
Hi Sally, What a beautiful Blue Monday and Porch Party. I love the lace painted table. Your friend's porch is lovely and every detail is perfect. What a pretty spot to relax and enjoy.
Enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog.
Have a great week.
Blessings, Celestina Marie
Hi Sally, Great Blue Monday post. Your friends Rose and Bob DO have alot of blue in their home, don't they???? It's the lighter blue--which seems to match well with all other colors. NEAT!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
I just love the porch and the table is so cute.
Willow
Your friends have a lovely porch, and I may steal that painted-on-lace idea for a table for my own porch -- which right now is sadly nude. (Both table AND porch, lol.)
Love your Blue Monday posts -- great idea, and one of these Mondays I will join in --lots of blue here at That Old House!
Best ... Cass
Happy Blue Monday Sally
It was so nice to meet your neighbours...the neighbours with the lovely porch. No wonder you all enjoy sitting there...its so sweet.

Every Monday I think,"One of these days these blogging ladies are going to run out of BLUE." Guess not!
Such a treat to see more of this space. I think the blue cabinet is painted the perfect shade of blue! Just lovely, everything!

Hope you get moved without too many hassles. Know it is a chore - thinking of you and wishing you a quick settling-in in your new home. ~Debbie
What a beautiful porch! Your items are always lovely.
Cindy
Wow that table is a work of art. At first I thought the top was one of those table cloths with elastic on the edge - handpainted lace - just amazing. Beautiful place!
Manuela
What a talented friend you have. It just looks so unique and lovely.
Hi Sally
I came back to reread and I don't know why I thought these friends were your neighbours. I guess somehow I thought you'd just slipped next door for dinner...but you had a bit of a drive.
They look a lovely couple..
Judi
Hi Sally :)
