Throughout, vintage mantels suggest fireplaces, wallpaper ripped from old books tells a story, and an oversize, intentionally roughed-up "clock"—built with plywood and scrap materials by Juan—could pass for a bona fide antique. The walls here (and in the kitchen) are painted Oatmeal by Benjamin Moore.
Clock, $23: The Salazars assembled this nonfunctioning clock with $23 of rope and plywood, plus leftover paint and hands cut from scrapwood.
Chair, $60: A burlap T.J. Maxx pillow, only $10, contrasts with a leather armchair scored on Craigslist.
Cachepot, $5: A cast-off canvas tool bag surprises as a cachepot.
Home Office
Heather isn't above dumpster-diving, either. "There's a great antiques shop nearby that always has a garbage heap," she says. "One day, I asked the owner if I could pick through it. He initially thought I was nuts, but now he's curious." The rebel does, however, play by a few rules: Never take anything without a purpose in mind, and for every object coming in, something else must leave. "Just to keep me from becoming a hoarder!" Heather jokes.
Lamp, $23: A $5 can of spray-paint (Cut Ruby by Valspar) from Lowe's updated a chrome lamp. The wall is painted Chalkboard by Valspar.
Desk, $80: This vintage pine table makes the perfect desk.
Typewriter, $0: The kids peck out messages on this 1920s typewriter, grabbed from a neighbor's giveaway pile.
Chair, $40: This leather-and-wood factory stool is at least 50 years old.
Rug, $150: Heather purchased the cowhide rug secondhand from a friend.
Workspace
Calendar, $48: Heather created a calendar with chalkboard paint, paper tags, and wooden letters.
Storage Unit
Wall art, $0: Heather painted a "5" (the number of people in her family) on found wood and sanded it for an aged finish, which helps it pop against Benjamin Moore's Intense White that covers the wall.
Globes, $20-$30 each: Globes collected from thrift stores and tag sales decorate the workroom.
Storage unit, $60: Spray-painted yellow and topped with plywood, three Goodwill filing cabinets—bought for $25 total—morphed into a storage unit.
