If you live in Clovis, you're well aware that shopping options are limited. Since moving here I've become an avid online shopper, furniture shopping being no exception. But there are some local options, both mortar and brick stores such as The Mariachi Frog and online options such as Craigslist and Facebook's Virtual Yard Sale. You definitely have to sort through some less than appealing pieces when searching these places online, but once in a while you find some gems. You just need a little bit of inspiration and imagination to see their potential!
I found these two wingback chairs on Craigslist, $200 for the pair. The upholstery looks to be in good condition so if you wanted to give these chairs a quick update, you could simply paint the wood white to freshen them up. If you wanted a more in-depth project you could give reupholstering a go. I know it's not on the wingback chairs in the inspiration image below, but I loved that gray and white patterned fabric on the day bed, so I hunted it down. It's available at Dwell Studio for $42 a yard. Crate and Barrel also makes an occasional chair in the exact same fabric. I love it, but it's $1000.

I also found this awesome roll top desk on Clovis' Virtual Yard Sale. I can imagine it painted white or cream, possibly distressed, with new hardware. Definitely new hardware. I would also make a straight cut to the scrolled leg work to modernize it even more. I think this would be such a fun desk to have! Plus how great would it be to have a desk that hides all your clutter by simply closing it? ;)
