DESIGN ON A DIME

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.
