I showed you a Condo I remodeled and staged in 's post. Today, I wanted to share with you some great sources that I used. The living room had a big back wall so I needed pieces that were substantial. I used the Ikea EktorpIt's a great price, perfect size, it looks great--it's terribly uncomfortable {sorry, but let's call it like it is}.$499. I flanked the sofa with a pair of Ikea Hemnes Bookcases $180/pc. To jazz them up a little, I attached lattice fabric to the back of the bookcases with spray adhesive. The sconces were a steal from Shades of Light. They were a horrible chartreuse color that I spray painted turquoise. They were originally @$175 but I scored them for $24 {unfortunately they are no longer available}. The console I made out of 2 1/2 yds of fabric {$25}, a 5' x15" piece of plywood for the top {already had} and 2 Mainstays Modular storage bases from Wal-Mart.$19/pc. I added a little of the lattice fabric along the hem. The 2 chairs are from Overstock.

They are really cute AND they sit really nice. is from an auction. The small round mirror was on clearance at Homegoods for $15. I velcroed it on to the larger mirror. The small cute white table is also from Homegoods. The glass vase on top is filled with vintage pool balls {ebay]. The Parson's coffee table is from Wal-Mart $29! {You do have to put it together, and, I must insist that you cover it with something, but it makes a great 'base'} I cut a piece of foam for the top and then I slipcovered the whole thing with 2 yards of turquoise fabric piped with a terra cotta fabric. The butterfly prints were $50 for the pair from Homegoods. I made all the pillows and the curtains. The curtain hardware came from BigLots. All the accessories in the bookcases came from Homegoods and an Antique/junk store in Sylva {most got spray painted}. The kitchen furniture was bought at an unfinished furniture store in Franklin. The store had a drip in the ceiling that caused some damage. 

So I got the table, 3 chairs and a bench for $300. table top and painted/glazed the chairs. The Roman shade is faux--I ironed the folds and then they were sewn in place {I's hung about 10" above the window trim to make the room/window appear taller}. The oil-rubbed bronze cabinet hardware knobs are $1/pc on Ebay. The bathroom mirror was reused by simply adding some molding to frame it. light fixture, $45 and the faucet,$75 both came from Lowes. homemaker curtains jakartaI found a 'kit' from Wal-Mart that had thecountry crafts and curtains fredericton nb oil-rubbed-bronze towel bar, towel ring, and TP holder for $29 {score!!} tattered curtain hypothesis formica on the countertop..double curtain rod jysk

you gotta do what cha got to do...$$ {that back wall isn't blue--it's the camera] Here's where you can save a ton if you are staging. The mattress is actually a queen size air mattress from Big Lots, $39 {I know, right!} It is really, really thick so it makes a great looking finished bed. I made a 'bed frame' out of 1"x 12" pine boards, turned on their sides and screwed together, $32. The dresser is the Hemnes from Ikea in gray-brown. I love this color and you can not beat the $149 price tag. The mirror is from Homegoods, $30 {painted} as well as the artwork, $50. The curtains are actually showerThey were really wide so I cut them in half, $25 per window {cha-ching!} I don't think they are still available. The bedding is Dwell from Target $80. I can't remember if the lamp came from Target or Homegoods. It's a really pretty milky blue. I added some trim to the bottom of the lampshade. My hubby and I madeIt is a piece of plywood, painted a deep navy, with small molding added around the edge.

A piece of foam covered in batting, then covered in fabric, was glued to the middle and then a piece of rope was glued around the edge of the fabric, $50. The side table is from Target $49. In the master, the same mattress trick was used. Because you can't use a bedskirt on a homemade air mattress/pine bed frame, I bought a sheet set from Overstock {for each bedroom $30}, cut the flat sheet into 18" strips and then hemmed the bottom. I then glued them onto the air mattress creating theIt's staging people--it doesn't have to be 'for reals'. The white comforter is from Overstock. The little square storage ottomans are the perfect little accent at the end of the bed, $49. The side tables {Target} were originally a really bad creamy sponged treatment that I sanded and painted white.$79. I had a little bit of the floral fabric left over from the living room curtains. So, I cut it a little smaller than the front of the drawer and spray glued on.

I painted the knobs orangy-red. This combo adds a little punch to the plain white tables. The dresser is also the Ikea Hemnes in white. The print is from Homegoods $59. I like the way it brings this side of the room a great dose of color. {I didn't hang the pics because I hated to put holes in the walls!} Accessories are from Homegoods. Ribba frames from Ikea filled with scrapbook paper from Michaels. $15 +.50 {LOVE this frame}. For consistency, I used the same color scheme throughout the entire condo.I like the flow that it gave and it also allowed me to shop faster because I didn't have to be specific in following a room by room plan. I knew if a piece didn't work in one room then I could easily use it in another. This became a whopper of a long post--sorry.
