That’s not all from Emily at Go Haus Go. These outdated $4 GoodWill finds…
Now sport a pretty new ikat fabric and stunning oil rubbed bronze legs!
*I’d like to thank Emily for the correct pronunciation of “ikat”. It sounds like “ee-kot”! All this time I’ve been mispronouncing it. I wish someone would have pointed it out! Of course you don’t know that I’ve been saying “i-cat” like some Apple version of a my furry pet, unless you’ve seen the videos! Oh, I’m so embarrassed. But, over it. Lesson learned and thank you so much, Emily! For another lesson in pronouncing design terms, visit Lauren at Pure Style Home. She has a wonderful post about it!
Speaking of ikat! There are still 4 days left to enter to win new flooring for your home and to vote for Cassity & Roeshel. Our coastal cottage room was designed about beautiful handscraped maple floors and a gorgeous “ee-kot” area rug! Visit Shaw Floors on Facebook to enter! Please! We really need your help these last couple of days! Cassity is also giving away an area rug of your choice (even the ikat) at Remodelaholic!
And while on the topic of furniture. Enter to win a designer ottoman kit at the DIY Club too!
BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE to these bloggers for a DIY job well done and for sharing their talents and inspiration! I’m motivated. Heading to find a thrifty-budget once or twice loved dresser today! Wish me luck!
