I found these 2 oak cabinets on Craigslist $30 for BOTH! With this one, I think I will remove the doors, paint & distress it and use it as a bookshelf.
This one is fantastic but the glass is chipped and falling out of the cabinet. Think I might replace the glass with wood, beadboard or even chicken wire, paint & distress and use it as a linen cabinet.
These wooden rolltop desk drawers were also on Craigslist for FREE! I have so many ideas for these babies, storage of all types. Paint, stain, distress, glass knobs... What would you do with them?
Burlap coffee sacks on eBay $8.99 for 6. 3 of the sumatra with the aqua stripe and 3 of the German coffee beans. These are HUGE at almost 4'x2'. I will no doubt make some throw pillows and maybe even re-upholster something.
Ball Mason jars...38 to be exact from pint to quart...$10 on Craigslist. Can you see all the possibilities? Vases, storage for pens, buttons, paint brushes, hardware, etc...
