fun with decorating

I've had fun recovering some old 'TV chairs'. They are mid 20C chairs that recline and are quite comfortable. My M-I-L was about to throw them out but I decided to hold on to them. They had a plain pale pink fabric on them. I found a pair of bolster cushion covers in this zebra-stripe and couldn't believe my luck! It was exactly what I had been looking for.

I am still to repaint this room but I do love this look. And don't you just love my recycled vinyl record bag?!!
The low cabinet behind is another piece I found in a Salvation Army story and I repainted the handles and lined all the draws with red faux fur that my M-I-L had in her pile of stuff!

I don't know why, but I really prefer recycled furniture for some reason. It seems to have more character somehow.
