Wednesday, March 23, 2011. Sex on (lucite) legs. WARNING: the following post contains explicit images of chairs.

Truly white hot. Look upon them and be jealous. Oh, and the best part? I got 'em for $11 a piece. Giddiness abounds! Posted by beauty meets budget. Sunday, March 6, 2011. The big chair reveal.

beauty meets budget: My latest reflection
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2010/11/my-latest-reflection.html
Thursday, November 25, 2010. So I know I promised part deux of my garage sale scores today, but my camera died as I was trying to download my pics and I'm too lazy to hunt down some batteries at the moment. Sad, I know. But in my couch-sitting-beer-drinking-long-weekend-celebrating-laziness I ran across something rather surprising and thought I'd share. Check it:. I know, right? Posted by beauty meets budget.

beauty meets budget: February 2011
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 21, 2011. She clicks, she scores! Just wanted to share this little gem I got on Craigslist today for $30. Sure, in my dreams it was a whole set of campaign furniture, but since up until now I've been a campaign virgin I'll take what I can get. It's marked Drexel and it's in great shape structurally. Can't wait to shine up the hardware and paint this piece a fun color! Stay tuned for the "after" pics! PS Progress has been made on the wayward chair project! Posted by beauty meets budget.

beauty meets budget: October 2010
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. Back to the blogosphere. Since I was recently added to somebody's blog roll (Thanks, Sammy. So I think I'm gonna give it another shot. After all, I've recently turned the corner and started a new life (with a new house to pretty up), sans boyfriend. READ: this is a good thing. I hope to share some of the process of bettering this bachelorette pad of mine. PS In the meantime, thought I'd throw a little autumn-esque boudoir action* your way, courtesy of West Elm.

beauty meets budget: I love lamp (garage sale score No. 2), plus bonus scores
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-love-lamp-garage-sale-score-no-2-plus.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. I love lamp (garage sale score No. 2), plus bonus scores. At long last, the photo of my second garage sale score from a couple weeks ago. [cue fanfare]. Picked up this sweet old hand painted lamp for $12. I could tell the shade was of good quality, but it's in poor condition so I will need to redo or replace. But the moment I saw this lamp I thought it would look pretty cool with a funky Anthro style topper. Shade – $98. Nice wood frame – $2. Asian cork art – $3. Drop me a line!

beauty meets budget: Wow. What a day!
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2011/01/wow-what-day.html
Saturday, January 15, 2011. Wow What a day! I ventured out this morning with the lovely and talented ReNew ReDo! On a quest for bargains, and we were not disappointed. I'll let her share what she wants about her own scores (I will tell you they were good), but here's what I turned up. Item #1 – Cabinet/Buffet. 20 I know, right? Item #2 – Settee. How much, you ask? A mere $42. Done and done. NOTE: I'd like to express my gratitude to my partner in bargain hunting for allowing me to take possession of this ...

beauty meets budget: Emily's Home for Wayward Chairs
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2011/02/emilys-home-for-wayward-chairs.html
Thursday, February 10, 2011. Emily's Home for Wayward Chairs. Anyone who knows me even reasonably well knows I have a bit of a . hmm, chair fetish? As such, I certainly can't resist a seat in need, so I was more than happy to pick up this spindly little homeless thing I discovered by the curb while I was running one evening. She's got potential, no? Am planning on restyling her not-so-flattering wood tone with some paint. Gloss black is always a classic choice. Or perhaps a punchy color? Drop me a line!

beauty meets budget: The big chair reveal
http://beautymeetsbudget.blogspot.com/2011/03/big-chair-reveal.html
Sunday, March 6, 2011. The big chair reveal. Remember the little chair. I rescued from a trash pile not too long ago? Well, she's ready for her close-up. Just as a refresher, here's the "before: shot:. After two cans of gloss black spray paint and some stapling, this the "after":. The fabric I went with is Annie Selke's Links in Slate. I bought it online from HouseFabric.com here. I am very pleased with the makeover. Don't forget to scout the curbs on trash day. You never know what you might find!
