Stained-glass windows salvaged from a local hospital were used to replace the original windows; the leftover pieces were installed in several interior doors and secured with molding to tie the look together. A 100% down-filled sofa was purchased at an estate sale for $100. A weathered farm table was transformed into a coffee table simply by cutting down the legs to the appropriate height.
