Driving home one day I passed a pile of… of??? Something that looked like the poolroom! I turned around and stopped. They were made out of the same kind of panelling as in the poolroom. They were — ummm… The happy un-clutterer came down the driveway with more trash. I asked him if I could have these things. He said I was welcome to them; they were pelmets that they’d torn out of their family room. And if I wanted the curtains too, they were in those bags; all I’d have to do is get them cleaned. I declined the curtains and loaded the pelmets (about 9 feet long), which looked like display shelves to me, in the HHR.
With some measuring, and sawing, and L-brackets and screwing they assumed their true form — display shelves!

I’ve subscribed to your blog on Google Reader. Fun! Like all the decorating/renovation stuff too.

As my brother once said — “You really *are* a scavenger, aren’t you?????”
He did not entirely approve!
