| The curtains are drop cloths and the rods are outdoor chain link fence posts. |
 |
| Woven shades are my fav! |
 |
| Vintage children's shoe molds climb the wall in this small nook. |
 |
| My dad gave me this dictionary from the early 1800's. It's one of my most treasured possessions. |
 |
| the industrial cart was a Valentine's gift from my husband, about three years before they became popular and way overpriced. |
 |
| We did spend to upgrade our fireplace mantel to poured cement. So glad we did. |
 |
| This Nichols & Stone chair was at a small shop near where we live.....for $15.....I drove away like I had stolen it! |
 |
| My old school desk that I kept in my classroom. The kids fought over sitting there ; o ) |
 |
| My Grandmother's Nichols & Stone rocker. The most expensive piece of furniture in the room is Travis' leather chair. We all fight over who will sit in it for movie night.... |
 |
| Ikea sofa....super cheap, but not so comfy. Replacing that soon.... |
 |
| My grandmother's writing desk painted with Graphite and Old White Chalk paint. |
 |
| The china hutch is used as a display cabinet. Full of odd things like glove molds, vintage medicine bottles, nautical maps, player piano scrolls, and my Fisher Price Aeroplane ; o ) |
 |
| Travis found this old typewriter in the trash. I love to print up letters to put in it. Currently we are featuring Jane Austen. |
 |
| Hubby built the tv console and the doors are backed with my favourite industrial linen...at about $1.40 a yard. |
 |
| The table was a Craigslist find. The basket is Homegoods. |
 |
| The clock is from Pier One...you should have seen my mom and I trying to shove it in the back of her Jetta. Good times. |
 |
| One of my favourite lamps....from a garage sale. |
 |
| I love this lamp.....it looks like a pineapple. |
Well that's the tour.....short and sweet and definitely on a budget. I'd be glad to answer any questions!
