Keep an open mind ...
When shopping flea markets, antique stores, yard sales, and more unconventional outlets, keep an open mind about the objects you see for sale.
A beautiful quilt but with some ragged parts? Well, if you craft, maybe you can cut out the "good parts" and make them into pillows or wallhangings, or something else.
A great buy on a wooden stepladder? How about using it for a plant stand or display shelf?
If you aren't good at "thinking" this way, check out your local library in the crafts/home section and just browse a few books, and you'll see some great uses for "remade" objects.
Your purchases will make your home uniquely yours, and save you some money at the same time!
