I bought these chairs but wanted to recover them with fabric that Jack wove.

Waterslide decals
When I heard about waterslide decals, I ordered some right away. I took an image of tile and copied it a number of times, then printed the image on the decal paper and followed the directions that came with the paper. The decals were a breeze to work with and I hope to do a lot more with them. The counter tops started out plain white
Michael's Hutch
I got 6 of these packs at an auction in a bag of odds and ends, not sure what they were for, but the corkboard circles in them made a perfect corkboard, with a frame around it.

Styrene Tubing "Brass Bed"
The list of materials:
Styrene Tubing, I used 3/16,3/32 and1/8, but other sizes are available, I got mine at http://www.hobbylinc.com/
wire, assorted beads, glue and wax paper
You can find tons of ideas for your bed on the internet, and bed sizes are easy to come up with. Draw the bed you want to build and cover the drawing with waxpaper. You can then have a guide to build your bed. Curved pieces are easier than they look, the tubing will bend, just put some weights on it after you glue.
If you want to put beads on the spindles, use wire inside the tubing, frst cut the wire to the size you want and add the beads and tubing.
I used Skinny Sticks for the wood slats
