A frugal (free!) furniture makeover

 
We have a shortage of quality furniture in our home. We used to have some nice pieces, but then we had kids. And dogs. And cats, and rabbits, and an occasional chicken in the house... We are pretty rough on things. 

But we needed some more seating for the living room. I found an armchair on the side of the road, and brought it home. It's not lovely, but it works. Next I found this table at the dump.

Yuck. But then, I took some fabric that I found... on the side of the road (for real!) and some foam from the basement, and recovered the table.

And now we have a comfy, cozy little reading spot right by the window.  I think I might head over there right now. The sunshine is calling me...

I have that same exact chair in my living room! My parents found it at a salvage shop. It's so comfy, but I do plan on making a slip cover for it.
