The ottoman, which I made for extra seating, is refurbished from a sturdy old drawer, a coffee sack upholstered top, and some vintage legs found at a garage sale. To balance the table setting, I placed some gourds in an old rusty prospecting pan, next to one of my lamps, and a few old books I've collected.
A ripped rag shade on a painted "just out of date" lamp..... fun and stunning!
Old window frames make great chalkboards. This board fills the blank space over my sink and between the cabinets. My kids like leaving their mark :)
