I have a fun book called Rags: Making a Little Something Out of Almost Nothing , written by sisters Linda and Stella Allison and published in 1979.
Reader Hannah sent in her steps for creating a quick and inexpensive blast of color in her living room. For less than $20, she added a small area rug to her gray, gray, gray space. Hannah purchased three cotton rag rugs from Target ($3.99 each) and a skein of red cotton yarn ($4.99). With two lengths of a simple stitch, she turned three rugs into one small area rug.

Puff is the Norwegian word for stool. We really liked the pouf from Christien Meinderstsma , but it´s way out of our price range. This simple pattern for a knitted stool has much thinner yarn, but the budget is just as thin;) Nice to rest your legs on, and very popular for the kids. What we used: Eskimo, 18 balls (Or yarn suitable for US #13 needles) Acrylic yarn would probably be a really good alternative, as it´s a piece of furniture US #19 circular needles 2 cheap duves (feather and down) How we did it: Cast on 35 stitches using three threads.
Who would have thunk, that chicken wire could be used in so many ways! We all saw it re-used mainly in frames , but did you see this luxurious boutique chicken hotel ? Those chickens live the dolce vita over there, lol. And there is Ashley, she just took a whole wall and covered it in chicken wire! I could imagine hanging all my high heels on there;-) Then I discovered chicken wire at the Dollar Store and found one of those wire clothe hangers in my closet and my chandelier-idea was born.
