I went to a yardsale a few years ago and I was given chairs (as in free) that needed to have the seats recovered. The lady even gave me the foam and the fabric. She just didn't think she would ever get around to it. Now I'm on the lookout for a longer table...mine doesn't expand. <BR/><BR/>We are making do here also. Just today I finished stuffing the pillows and cushions on my sofa, making it look and feel practically new, and a year ago I would have been lobbying to replace it.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12820289252952684291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-9941577278546370322009-03-18T00:12:00.000-05:002009-03-18T00:12:00.000-05:00I had to show my hubby this, I said, other people ...I had to show my hubby this, I said, other people do think like us!

He made it too big so I couldn't actually reach into the bottom of it to retrieve the clothes. We call it the monkey crate. It has sat in our garage for years. Now I need a computer desk for our dining area but we can't afford it just yet. So, once again, the monkey crate is useful! <BR/>Love the bench idea.

Now that's using your noggin!! looks lovely!! <BR/><BR/>We are down to one income after my job ended somewhat prematurely, although I'd have only had a couple months left because I'm due to give birth in early May...so, man, have we tweaked our budget!! <BR/><BR/>We absolutely aren't making any major purchases--we're barely making minor ones!! I've found that simply telling people what you need--and being willing to "trade" sometimes--goes a long way. My most recent score was an artificial Christmas tree--just because I mentioned that we needed one! I also acquired a crafting table AND three chairs--just for asking! It's kind of humbling, but I sure wish people would ask me more--I'd love to unload some of our unwanted items and help someone out!! We all have to look out for each other.Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08138538420842925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-20550727815902877222009-03-13T15:01:00.000-05:002009-03-13T15:01:00.000-05:00Benches are the best!

They're too rough and tumble to keep chairs in one piece, and the bench fits nicely up against our dining room window - like a miniature window seat.BlueCastlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422630196094368374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-85242838144920748692009-03-13T14:50:00.000-05:002009-03-13T14:50:00.000-05:00Brilliant!
