A few "before" and "after" photos:
 |
| These old kitchen cabinet drawer sections were 50 cents apiece. |
 |
| When I replaced the missing knob on the bottom drawer, I had to pay a whole $3 -- SIX times what I paid for the drawers! |
 |
| Drawer segments "after". They started out as a console to go under the big screen TV and ended up being a sofa table/desk unit behind the sofa (see photo below where they "kinda" show). |
 |
| $10 dresser. Looks good in this shot but the top was scarred up and dimpled from water damage. |
 |
| Dresser after (with doors still to be put back on) |
 |
| Boring, blah, bland, blonde night stands with ugly laminate tops -$12.50 each |
 |
| Nightstand after. |
 |
| The whole "Zen" bedroom. |
 |
| $2 frame. |
 |
| Not a close-up but an "after" shot of the frame. Inside is a burlap-like fabric and paper letters. |
 |
| I bought three of these chairs (complete with puppy-chewing damage on the lower spindles) for a total of $4.50 for all three. |
 |
| $10 partially-stripped drop leaf table. |
 |
| Chairs and drop leaf table "after". They all ended up going elsewhere in the room. These things have a life of their own! |
 |
| The livingroom partially done. The candle holders on the table (which still need two more candles and a bamboo tray underneath them!) are old metal weightlifting weights. |
MORE LATER!
