A secondhand vintage table, floral wallpaper and a small jute rug grace The Painted Hive’s entryway. Original art from thrift-store frames was swapped with cut-to-order mirrors for just $5 each.

When Franklin found ceramic drum stools at an unbelievable price, she wasn’t deterred by their black color. Sanding, cleaning and spray paint gave the ceramic pieces an entirely new look that fits perfectly with her cottage style.
