Speaking of budget design...

I've had some major "street-shopping" victories over the past two days. I've got my work cut out for me re-inventing this rad mid-century side chair, as well as a slightly bonked around teak coffee table (Thank you the West Village!) and a fab-looking wicker headboard that I'm going to spray paint white for my guest room.

I know there are a lot of doubters regarding picking stuff up off the street, but so far I haven't been burned and I've accrued a pretty rad collection that required just a little bit of elbow grease to bring it back to life.

Not for everyone, but it works for me! 

Check back in soon ~~ hopefully I'll find the time tomorrow to give this bad boy a second life.
