Sofa and chair recovered

In watching design shows, it always seemed that it would cost more to recover than to buy new. We bought this pair for $50 at a garage sale and stopped in to a local (Vegas) upholsterer ...»
and was thrilled with a quote of $295 for both including fabric.

  • I found the blue table on our farm. I replaced the top with some pretty substantial planks (also found on our farm), stained them and painted the base blue.  I LOVE this little table!
  • These gray drawers were a gift from my brother. All I did was clean them up before bringing them into the house. The wall cabinet is an old kitchen cabinet that my parents gave me. I removed the doors and put bead board planks on the back, then painted it and added corbels.
  • I also found this table on our farm. I cleaned it up, painted the base and stained the top. I made the long storage piece out of a thrift store find, and the folding organizer is made from the doors I removed from the cabinet in the other photo. 3
  • The light fixture is a $2 estate sale find. I used spare parts and a light kit from IKEA to make it functional.
  • I made the curtains out of bed sheets from Walmart and elastic thread. 3
  • An old doorknob holds the curtains back when I want them open. 2

Using salvaged items to furnish a room.

This is my first post~and I'm excited to be here!

My craft room is one of my favorite rooms in our house, and I used mainly salvaged items ...»

and things I made to furnish it. I think they add a lot of character, and I like the fact that it was easy on our budget.

My garden cupola

A friend brought over some old windows knowing that I would do something fun with them. The outcome? This fun large garden cupola over my septic tank! The roof is plastic ceiling tiles.

  • My Quilt Wall 4

A way to add color and insulation to an old plaster wall without major construction.

I used insulation foam boards, cut into 15"x15" squares. Than I covered each with batting and fabric using duct tape. To hang on the wall I used double-sided velcro so they can be taken down to clean, or rearranged. It really made this drafty room so much warmer.
