Often Heather sells rehabbed pieces on Craigslist at double what she originally paid. In Heather's estimation, her biggest success is that she feels as if she's living well outside the suburban box: "If you walked into the house next door and then you entered my house, you'd swear you were in an entirely different neighborhood."
Wallpaper, $150 for 8 rolls: Heather happened upon a stash of this discounted Waverly wallpaper online.
Bed, $995: After a two-year search for the right bed, the couple finally splurged on one by Thomasville.
Bedding, $216: A Target duvet cover, on sale for $89, mixes with $127 of Pottery Barn pillows.
Nightstand, $20: Thanks to fresh stain and hardware, a discarded nightstand cleaned up nicely.
Mantel
The furniture's equally worn and well loved, while the accessories (secondhand candlesticks, a storage unit assembled using a $25 trio of filing cabinets) speak softly of shabby nobility. The wall behind the fireplace is painted Pale Sand by Laura Ashley.
Tin boxes, $10: Heather snagged these tin boxes at the annual Farm Chicks Antique Show.
Candlesticks, $3.72: The small brass candlesticks cost a quarter each at Goodwill; the tall ones, 99 cents.
Mantel, $110: An old mantel from eBay lends the illusion of a fireplace in the master bedroom.
Bathroom
Door, $27: A $2 package of letters gave this $25 salvaged door an industrial look.
The walls are painted Creme Brulee by Behr.
