DIY Monday: How to Reupholster a Garage Sale Chair Quick
2011-05-09 13:22:00 Reader Janine spotted a chair at a yard sale and had to have it, ripped arms and all. It was cheap - $10 - and would fit exactly in the corner of her vintage Lakeview living room. With the chair as a blank canvas, she whipped up a new cover for a found chair and lives to tell about it. Janine armed herself with a staple gun and spent two evenings on the chair. Because she worked solo on a job that often needs an extra pair of hands, she calls her upholstery job a hack. Here's a Q and A of the process. Where did the chair come from? I found it in a neighborhood yard sale. I know,...

Easy Instant Decorating: Seasonal Garage Sale Finds
2010-10-18 17:16:00 What do you gravitate to at garage sales? Most people make a habitual beeline to some collection or department, maybe the clothes, books or kitchen ware? I go for the candles. I like to swap them out in a room to change it seasonally, not unlike flowers or throw pillows, but quite a bit cheaper. When I find some votives or candlesticks at a sale, I'll use them for awhile, then pass them and make room for the new ones I've hunted up.At the kitschy artist sale in Wilmette, I couldn't resist the quirky pineapple votive above for $3. I also bought these pillar holders. They need a little TLC, and my plan is to paint them a Chinese red...
