Rain Gutter Bookshelves

Before and After from 80s Kitchen to shaker cabinets

They just added plain trim to the doors to look like "shaker" style cabinets. Then painted the doors and the cabinets them selves all white. It looks like they just put new wood fronts on the drawers with new handles. So the doors were completely reused and the wood handle that is there is just under the wood trim. Your just have to fill with chalking after you put all the trim on so that the trim looks like it was always there. I hope this helps in some way.

Outdoor Rooms

http://beautifullivingstyle.blogspot.com/2011/05/beautiful-outdoor-room.html

It's not that hard to create an outdoor space that you can't wait to get back to. Inspired by these photos, I've put together a fairly inexpensive list of items that you could purchase to create the same look. This Plantation bench would surely need to stay undercover (a canopy from Target does the trick), but will certainly become the focal point of your seating area. (Bring in just one unique piece of furniture into the mix, and you can help break up that matchy-matchy look you get from purchasing a furniture grouping.) Ground your seating area with an indoor/outdoor rug like one of these. Look for outdoor friendly lamps (see below), and add additional privacy and/or filter lighting with bamboo shades (see below). Top it all off with a fabulous light fixture, or better yet, create your own by attaching an attractive flat-bottomed basket (inverted and cut) over a hanging light kit and voila! A beautiful room - outdoors.

Home Made Sliding Doors

Salvaged Office Doors

Last winter, when snow netted Emily an unexpected day off, she set her sights on using a pair of yard-sale doors to fashion a sliding barn-style entrance to the home office. She balked upon discovering that "the track alone cost a couple of hundred dollars," so she substituted casters and plumbing pipes for the expensive kit.

Office doors, $78: Fifty-eight dollars' worth of hardware—including casters and plumbing pipes—transformed two salvaged $10 doors into a barn-style entry. (hardware; homedepot.com)

Creative Accessories

Entryway

Salvage, $10: Two $5 discarded windows from Cline's take the place of traditional artwork in the foyer. "I love seeing the beauty in unloved things," Emily explains, "like these salvaged windows." (Cline's, clinesantiquesmpnc.com)

Table: $0: This 1930s console—a friend's moving day castoff—corrals keys, mail, boots, and more.

DIY Lampshade

Shade: $15.79: This Target shade speaks volumes about Emily, who découpaged it with dictionary pages. (target.com)






Wall Cubes

Planters, $39.99/set: These wall-mounted herb boxes from Farmhouse Wares encourage table-side snipping. (farmhousewares.com)

Living Room with Painted Sub Floors Awesome Map

 

Living Room

Curtains, $9/yard: Emily sewed the living room curtains herself, using sheer cotton from Grayline Linen. (graylinelinen.com)

Sofa, $250: The 1920s cane sofa came from Craigslist.

Upholstery, $24: A pair of $12 hardware-store drop cloths made reupholstering this piece relatively inexpensive. "I love the look of linen upholstery, but not the price—drop cloths make a brilliant substitution," Emily says. (homedepot.com)

Ladder, $5: Emily's go-to vintage source, Cline's Country Antiques near Charlotte, harbored this ladder. (clinesantiquesmpnc.com)

Chair, $20: A Goodwill find, this wingback got a makeover for an extra $12, courtesy of another canvas drop cloth.

Lighting, $24: A $4 socket plus a $20 garden lantern equals a pendant lamp with organic appeal. (Socket; ikea.com. Similar bamboo lantern, $89.99; nova68.com)

Wardrobe, $100: This $60 wardrobe from Cline's, fronted with two $20 custom-cut Lowe's mirrors, hides the Knottses' TV. (lowes.com)

Carpet, $150: Emily bought this sea-grass rug at Hall's Flooring in Charlotte. (hallsflooring.com)

Wooden crate, $3: Another Cline's discovery, this fruit crate holds antique glass fishing floats.

Wall art, $30: Emily won this 1909 pull-down map on eBay.

Chair, $60: This secondhand chair and footstool from Goodwill currently go for $349.99 total at Ikea, new.

Shelving, $4: A pair of $2 brackets convert free driftwood into a floating shelf. "Sea glass, spring branches, and driftwood bring beauty into your home—for free," Emily advises. (lowes.com)

Farm House Table and Lamp

Dining Room

Next, they tackled Emily's desire for a farmhouse table in the dining area. She'd admired a $3,000 Restoration Hardware version so often, the catalog would naturally fall open to the dog-eared page. Her husband yearned to buy it for her, but went one better. Using a free truckload of reclaimed lumber, he built her one.

Cruising countless tag sales in search of seating worthy of Michael’s masterpiece, Emily finally spotted six taxicab-yellow chairs for $25 apiece—seeing beyond the garish color to their genteel silhouettes. Once clad in pale-gray chalk paint, the set gained a matte elegance.

Dining table, $11: Michael only bought screws and glue to construct this table. He found free building plans online at ana-white.com, and scored the lumber from a landowner, just by asking.

Lighting, $7: After Emily unearthed this pendant at the South Carolina consignment store Sweet Repeats, her husband sanded off its black paint and hung the lamp from sisal rope. (sweet-repeats.com)

Shelving, $100: By waiting until the end of the International Collectibles and Antiques Show, Emily landed this vintage baker's rack for much less than its original $300 price. (icashow.com)

Chairs, $150/six: A yard sale supplied this set of chairs; an additional $34.95 (for a quart of Annie Sloan paint in Paris Gray) gave them polish. (anniesloanunfolded.com for stores)

Painted Sub Floors

 http://realestate.yahoo.com/news/a-diy-north-carolina-home.html?page=1

Because Emily and Michael couldn't afford to put down planks or even veneer to replace the carpet, they ripped it out, then covered the plywood subflooring with pale-gray porch paint. The result—a crisp, low-maintenance look that will last until the Knottses spring for hardwood—revealed that Emily had a knack for visualizing improvements. And that Michael, a property developer, enjoyed turning her visions into reality.

Floor, $29.44/gallon: Behr's porch and floor paint in Shaded Hammock spiffed up the plain plywood subflooring. Huck, a yellow Lab, clearly approves. (homedepot.com)
