Long story short... I couldn't find one I loved within my price range, so I decided to rescue a junkyard wingback chair and reupholster it myself. I must confess, if I had fully realized all the time, blisters and expense that goes into reupholstering, I would not have taken on such a huge project.

When Marlee MacLeod and Corinne Wright bought their 1892 Shingle Victorian, which had been a rental property for decades, they knew it had been neglected, but they weren’t prepared for the foosball table they found in the dining room—a holdover from the home’s frat-house days. “The house was in a pretty unusable state,” says Marlee. “It was a sad house that needed modernizing and beautifying.” The couple had a lengthy wish list of repairs, but they wanted to work within a budget and were prepared to take on as much work as possible to cut costs, preferring to put their money toward other things.
