I need help with home decor- We have old/mismatched furniture or stuff that we picked up cheap. For various reasons- have not been able to get it together ( for years I couldn’t even move the couch-D would go into screaming fits- H explained that it was if I rearranged the features on my face )
Now we are used to it where it is.
I am dying to do something though but I have no money.
( kids in college )
The basic pieces I think I can live with- for example we have a cherry sleigh bed and dresser with mirror that I want to keep that were my great aunts- but I want to take two rescued endtables and finish them ( one is mahogany and the other oak) to use as bedside tables- but I was thinking of tiling the tops ( with recycled glass tile) and staining them darkish to go with the cherry.

( I am also starting with the " master" bedroom cause it is small and needs the least)
Where are good places to go for ideas?
We are also painting exterior, how important is it that exterior colors go with interior?
Small bungalow- no hallway , no entryway ( unless we enclose front porch which I am torn on) too bad I didn’t do this before I had kids, but better late than never.
