Free Tall Coffee at Starbucks

A friend recently pointed out that I could get a free tall cup of coffee from Starbucks when I bring in my empty bag of coffee beans. Really?? Who knew. Right on the back of the bag is this little logo, stating just that! starbucks Free Tall Coffee at StarbucksSince I don’t regularly go out for coffee, I stashed a few bags in my car. My hubby also suggested we put a bunch in our van, which we are likely to travel in. What a great idea! Now when we have to hit the road, we can grab ourselves some free Joe to go!

My “NEW” Dining Room Chairs

Many years ago we thought dining room chairs with a cream fabric would be perfect! Of course, we weren’t thinking about kids and the damage they could do to light colored fabrics – we have marker, crayon, juice, and who-knows-what-else stains on them. In fact, they were cream no more. They resembled more of a mottled mud kalidescope of sorts. This Christmas, it finally got to the point where we were utterly embarrassed to have people over. I mean, they looked NASTY!

My husband and I went on a mission to recover the chairs. Boy, was it simple and cheap. Our first stop at Tony’s Fabrics in Huntersville resulted in enough fabric to recover all six chairs for a mere $16. We happened upon remnants that we loved and they were an additional HALF off! It took about two hours but I was able to completely redo all the chairs using only scissors, a screwdriver and a staple gun. That’s it!

Check out my photos of before and after!

Before
The picture above doesn’t quite show off the stains as in real life. The fabric we chose should guard against stains for several years to come. We hope!

Much better! We love the colors in the fabric. They match the color on our walls and tie in with the colors in the rest of our home. Were you able to salvage a piece of furniture for cheap? Share your story by leaving a message.
