The decor in this 140-year-old restored cottage looks like it was found in chic, under-the-radar boutiques. In reality, much of it was found (in spots like the roadside and the backyard), inherited, or just repurposed. It's eco-friendly, budget-friendly, and very stylish.

The 4-year-old daughter of a friend of mine recently "rescued" a pink plastic lawn flamingo from Lowes. "Mommy", she told my friend at the store, "the other flamingos are pulling his feathers and scratching his beak! I think he wants to live in a nice, white house like ours." Dear Lily - savior of flamingos - here is a round-up for you (and any other little one who can't resist the thought of bringing home a bird...that is pink!) More

Name: Sarah and Brian Meeks      
Location: Homewood, Illinois
Size: 1,000 square feet
Years lived in: 1.5 years; owned

Nearly everything in Sarah and Brian's house – from the credenza they found on the side of the road right down to their three cuddly shelter pets – has been rescued or re-purposed. In many ways, the house itself was a rescue story: Sarah grew up two houses away, and when the house went on the market, they snatched it up despite the fact that it was, to put it mildly, in less than peak condition.
