19 No side table? No problem. Jodi

fabricated a fl oating one using (surprise!) a

chunky wood remnant and L brackets. She

also hung the sconce above the petite perch.

20 The window valance is a strip of wood

Jodi upcycled from a dilapidated fence.

21 Jodi took lighting by the horns, so to

speak, and looped a corded plug-in light

around an antelope taxidermy (gifted to them

by a neighbor) for a one-of-a-kind fi xture.

22 The bed for the master bedroom was

made by a local craftsperson. Savvy Jodi,

who works as a photographer, traded it

for a photo session. 23 A corner became

a hardworking offi ce space with the

addition of two sheets of plywood that

Jodi used to make a fl oating desk.
