Repurpose old furniture instead of buying new.
Gardener and designer Barbara Purdy converted a wood-burning fireplace to gas to make a cosy focal point within this room. I couldn't see myself hauling logs down the stairs, she states. Radiant heating installed under the wood-look porcelain-tile flooring adds much more heat. The sofa, a hand-me-down from her parents, was recovered and layered with pillows.
