Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Since there were four chairs and only three fit at the island, we repurposed the fourth chair by painting it and using it as a decoration in our spare bedroom. We painted the chair white (it used to be espresso brown) and freshened up the beige suede seat with a mustard color fabric that went well with the room. Go Frugal'

I save tape and paper and old paint drop sheets. I had to part with $35 to buy one of those paint masks to even be able to apply it. Of course, to protect the glass and window/door hardware you have to tape and paper it. Help me out, am I being cheap or just smart about money? We put in new windows this year at our 1985 home.

Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. This one is heavy duty metal and oak with brass hardware. Hubby re-painted it and has used it for many things around the yard and grounds. Rattan loveseat and ottoman – $25. New hot wheels can cost from $1 – $3 each.
