Homeless Housewares: Adopt Twin Dressers!

Vintage Dressers - $275

Now they're asking more than I would spend on dressers, but aren't these cute?  I highly recommend stealing those color choices for the drawers.  They're not a color combination I would have thought of, but very very pretty!  One thing that makes this piece stand out from your standard DIY type dresser is the hardware, BUT these can be bought at a hardware store like Home Depot too - just go the extra mile if you want to recreate this beauty :)

Huge Tree Stump - $35

Oh what potential and at such a good price!!  A tree stump end table at West Elm will run you $200, but with a little elbow grease (and heavy lifting) you could make your own for under $100!

Queen Wicker Headboard - $35

Did I say (type) $35?  Why yes I did!  Now this, is a good deal.  Headboards can be ex.pen.sive, but this one is a cutie and a steal.  Wicker brings texture to any space and the white is a fresh neutral.  PLUS, you can hang little pictures from the weaving, or weave in some yarn for a little pop of crafty color.  Pounce people pounce.

Patio Table and Chair Combo - $20

Now here's a little refurb project for you.  If I bought this guy, I would sew seat and back cushions out of a natural white or fun pattern and leave the wood sun-bleached as is.  You could paint it too though. I just really like the potential here :)

Happy Hunting!
