Creating a Beautiful Home on a Budget

No money you say!  That is just fine.  I am going to create a beautiful cozy home on a budget.  I found the nicest end tables the other day at a thrift store for $45 a set.  Granted they are from about the 1950's, but they are nice.  Gonna sand them down and paint them black to see how they will look.  

Right end table has original handles.  
Left handles include possible
handles after being painted. $45 for set!

 

Both end tables cost $5 each. 
 Caught these at a flea market!

I also found another set of side tables for $10 a set.  Now that was definitely a steal!  I figured I'd take those two and make a desk out of them.  Maybe paint those black as well.  We will see.  $50 for something that will be beautiful when painted, decorated, and embellished. 

  

Cool music chair that I could use for my
son & daughters music corner. $22

I have been having fun "thrifting" seeing things that have lots of potential and feel like I can use them to add some spice and life to my home.  This nice little music chair was a cute find as well.
