Everything else has, quite literally, been pulled from the dumpster, salvaged from the alley or bought used. A few pieces were inherited from my grandparents. Thank goodness I love to sew and refinish furniture. With those interests plus elbow grease, I can create high-end effects that would be expensive to buy. Like you, I use a limited color palette. My daughter in law said she likes the way my home looks, kind of zen. Carol in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040851935970426022noreply@blogger.com
