When we were renovating a city apartment, we decided to adopt a policy of 'rough chic' which fitted in with our meagre budget. While walking around the local streets we managed to find a few items on the footpath which came in very handy after we painted them, such as this side table:
This shelf looked very rough in its natural state, but is quite sturdy and holds a lot:
This cabinet was originally an unattractive shade of bottle green:
With the addition of some home-made cushion covers in Amy Butler fabric, the apartment looks quite bright and modern:

The side table you found and painted has such character. I wish I could stumble across such a wonderful find on someone's verge or at the markets here.
Ugh, why did people ever like bottle green? I think I even liked it...
I've never found such great stuff on the street but at a garage sale love the redo and I'll check out Amy Butler because I love the fabric of hers you used... and your kitchen is great btw- what a great view.
What a neat home you have..., and the view is wonderful!
Thanks RaNae and Maya. I like Amy Butler fabric because it doesn't cost the earth and it combines traditional and modern influences.
