You’ve been bitten by the decorating bug, and you’re ready to

you can create beautiful rooms on a small budget.

(Sh linen using a faux finish. Instead of replacing your cabinets, have
them refaced or paint them yourself. Add some new hardware, and
they will be good as new.
One of the easiest fixes involves the use of paint and trim. Both are
relatively inexpensive, and you can use them to transform almost
anything from drab white walls to plain side tables. Add drama to
your living room walls by wrapping a chair rail around the middle
and painting the upper half beige and the bottom half chocolate
brown. Dress up your plain side tables with some molding and light
blue paint, and set them against the freshly painted brown walls
for a pop of color.
Along with paint and trim, fabric is another inexpensive fix.
Don’t have any art? Stretch a piece of interesting fabric across
a canvas, staple it into place and hang it up for instant artwork.
Need new pillows? Make some out of some fabric and batting,
or sew slipcovers for the ones you already have. Drapes ragged
at the bottom? Cut off the damaged ends and sew on new bands
of fabric. When shopping for fabric for your rooms, start at the
remnant table. Chances are you will find exactly what you need
for all of your sewing projects at a fraction of the cost. Combine
various patterns, styles and textures for a unique look.
When it comes to accessories, think outside of the box and look
for bargains. Don’t be afraid to use the unexpected. Go ahead
and bring in that old garden gate and hang it on the wall. Take
advantage of sales, clearance aisles and bargain bins. Shop at
flea markets and thrift stores, and remember, you can redo almost
anything you find. See a chandelier you like that’s tarnished? Go
over it with some tarnish remover or give it a quick dash of spray
paint. Add some new shades, and voila, you’ve got a new light at
a low cost.
Decorating on a shoestring budget is not hard. It just takes some
clever thinking and some fine-tuned shopping. Good luck and
have fun.
