  • Is it possible to furnish, decorate, and DIY a nearly empty living room and create a beautiful and stylish space using only used furniture and thrift store finds (not buying anything new)? Well, that was the challenge in this week’s video. I hope you’ll watch this extreme room makeover done on an extremely tight budget and let me know what you think!

      Yes, I agree…it was very disheartening to see such a blasé response from her children. Maybe the mom was a little heavy handed with what “she” liked and wanted in “their” home.🤷‍♀️ Overall, it was a BEAUTIFUL transformation.❤

      ​@hemahaw1
      I agree. Mom and Madison created some good memories and hopefully bonded. I hope Madison isn't one of the "entitled" feeling kids that truly don't have the slightest concept about living at or below their means, because they've never had to "make do" or "go without" as previous generations have had to endure. Some may have gone through the "Great Recession" but not the "Great Depression" both of which were extremely tough to go through. It developed a wonderful sense of gratitude and a resilience with extremely creative solutions on how to "get by" and a good part of the time, learn to be thankful for "a roof over your head, a bed under your butt (even if it was a mattress full of straw on the floor piled with old blankets for a pallet), food in your stomach (even if it was the same food EVERY meal) you at least weren't going hungry, a pot to pass in, and a window to throw it out." Which in those times, especially the "Great Depression" was considered being well off.
      It's kinda scary to wonder what would happen if the kids that didn't experience either Era would do if that or worse were to happen again, with their feeling of entitlement fully ingrained. Even though my kids grew up lower middle class, meaning sometimes it was paycheck to paycheck with needs met but no room for wants, even they didn't have it hard like I did having only one working, uneducated parent, a disabled, stay-at-home mom, whom both had lived through the Great Depression and had no way to better our lives. But as kids we didn't realize we were living a good deal below the poverty line because we had both parents raising us, food, a house, bed, clothing and shoes so we had no idea that we were poor. Once we got older, like high school and especially college age we learned then that it wasn't like that for other families and desired to do more for ourselves and our children and Grands. But no matter the income level growing up as long as your parents weren't wealthy, all kids figured out there were people that had it better than they did and worse than they did and there was gratitude taught at any economic level cause either parents or grandparents or both had survived the Great Depression.

    Wow Sherry! You hit the mark! It looks so comfy and homey. Looks like they’ve lived there for years, and curated their finds over time. Yet you were able to raid your basement, utilize what they had and hit the the thrift stores to pull it all together. How wonderful for them!!! Win win! ❤ Oh and I think my favorite is the houndstooth chairs. It’s no wonder why you saved them all this time! And that painting was a gorgeous steal and addition! Comfort at its finest!

If I could find white or light colored dropcloths, I might be able to dye them. My furniture is blue, which I love for Spring and Summer but I'd like green for Fall and red for Christmas & Valentine's day. I'd love any advice, Sherri. Thanks.

A lot of the finds came from the estate of Pearl Hutton, she is still in our lives 40 years later as my daughter wanted them for her place.
