Wall Paint – $157
A palette of rich red, deep purple and a couple of soft accent colors start off the wine-bar theme. To give the walls depth, two coats of paint are used. First, the grooves in the knotty-pine paneling are painted red and purple, then a second coat of the same two colors covers the entire surface. Cream and bright orange paint are used to cover the fireplace and surrounding walls.

Seating Area – $80
Various furnishings from thrift stores and garage sales are blended together to create the cozy conversation area:

Two large ottomans were found at a garage sale for only $10. To continue the wine-bar theme, new covers in a wine-cork pattern are added to the tops and held in place with drawstring. Materials for new covers were just $14.

An office credenza found at a thrift store for $30 is converted into a TV stand. The sliding doors are taken off the front of the piece for media storage.

A pair of garage-sale end tables and lamps spread color and light around the room. These four pieces were a bargain at $26.

Fire Place – $46
A hearth is built to spruce up the existing fireplace. A frame is constructed with plywood and then 12 x 12-inch square tiles are adhered to the frame. The fireplace brick is painted a modern cream color.
