Decorating : Money-Saving Remodel : Home & Garden Television

Joan Steffend visits the home of a couple who decided to update their own home and save money by completing the demolition work themselves.

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.

Instead of purchasing costly artwork from galleries, the owners sought out local colleges and purchased pieces from their annual art sales. A pain parson's table was enhanced by gluing painted craft balls to the top, then adding a piece of tempered glass to create a display space between the two surfaces.

In the bathroom, stock white tile was used for the majority of the space but the owners splurged on accent tiles for a more ornate look. And no piece was wasted--the small scraps were used for drawer pulls, simply attached with epoxy.
