Scrimdods

When I graduated college I had very little money- and almost none for furnishings.

To make matters worse, the only apartment I could rent was small, ugly, and dirty.

But, after taking a second look, I decided I could do something with the place and soon I was foraging among thrift store bargains, second-hand store bins, and hitting the garage sales in town.

After a few weeks of sewing drapes, washing and polishing mismatched silver, and applying a lot of leather sofa conditioner to the big old sofa I’d saved from the trash, my home began to take shape.

It wasn’t long before I was hooked on the colorful, eclectic look of my cozy little home and the five years I lived there were some of my happiest.
