Admittedly, I needed another office chair like a hole in the head, especially an old beat up one with ratty, mustard-colored, scratchy upholstery. However, it was the most comfortable chair I ever sat in, so I paid $15 to Goodwill for it. I've either got to make a slipcover or upholster it because it is so damn ugly. Charcoal grey chenille, I'm thinking. It does, however, have great lumbar support.(Okay, here's what's not funny. The day after I buy this, I go to work and lo and behold, it's the exact same chair I have at my desk in my room that I sit in every day! I never even noticed the chair except to appreciate its great comfort and to force students out who took it upon themselves to perch there anytime I wasn't it it.)
THis kilim fabric was from a footstool some college students threw out. I have four pieces that are 16" x 13" and two smaller squares, just begging to be made into pillows.
Walmart oven pads $3 and a white chef's apron $6 (begging to be dyed grey, I might add.)
Blue Nude painting. I have a little pair of sunglasses to put on her eyes and I think it is hysterical! To be naked with sunglasses! Must be Sam's influence for juvenile hysterical nonsense.
$10 Wal-mart King Sheet Set and $60 teal bedspread. You save money one place, you spend it another
An appliance cover I made some ten years ago and just got around to hemming, but obviously not ironing. I have two others.
My poor little Savannah bird girl with the broken neck she suffered in a tumble. She also fractured both arms and has a hole in the back of her head (like that ghost kid in Sixth Sense). I glued her back together bestest as I could, but she's still a member of the walking wounded. I just can't let her go though. I love her shape.
46" x 16" Kuba cloth from ebay
Le Creuset little white skillet $3 Goodwill
Wooden Box for desk supplies, $5 Goodwill. It's very well made and I think it matches the rosewood desk that I am soooooo proud of.

79 cent curtain rod ends to replace the broken one in SC, $6 thrift store desk lamp (1970's? The light slides up and down), 79 cent spatula (Goodwill), $6 Crucifix from the Catskills (and other crucifixes I had from thrifting)
Dazor lamp from thrift store in SC (can't remember how much, but cheap), 0range chairs from the trash at school, table from ebay, vase from a consignment shop in AZ for about $5 years ago.
