I’ve been working on projects for the new pad and could not be more excited about the opportinuty to DECORATE!I don’t know if it’s the thrill of the deal, the adventure of seeing the potential in a product and then watching it come to life, or if I am just plain ol’ too cheap; but I do not spend $$ on furniture. There are so many treasures out there that just need a little TLC.
Like this beauty. I wish I had a before photo, it was a lighter color with a horrible maroon striped seat. BUT it was $5 @Goodwill. I stained it to match my desk, and added a new seat cover and voi’la! A chair that matches my other cane chairs. Its not perfect, but for $5 and the fact that it matches my previous finds... i love it.
And I found this cheap drum table, also at Goodwill, which was exactly what I had in mind for use with my other cane chairs. However, it is proving to be a bigger challenge than I had thought, but hopefully will be worth it in the end. I was thinking of painting it darker brown, with a burst of color in the interior of the drawer… but now considering white. What do you think?
And last but not least- this is what I am thinking for the main wall.. a little dramatic, but I think the new place may just need a little drama, like that created by a bold chevron stripe.
