I've had a lot of fun this summer imagining what I would do with $200 to blow in various rooms of my home. Today I'm bringing you the final post in this series, with the spotlight on my guest bedroom. I haven't spent much money or time decorating this room and it shows! Here's how the… Continue reading A Cozy Guest Room {On A Budget}

Softening The Dining Room With $200
Last month I showed you what I would do if I had $200 to blow in my living room. Today I'm back with another imaginary $200 shopping spree - this time the focus is on my dining room. In my house the dining room is part of an open living space that includes the kitchen and… Continue reading Softening The Dining Room With $200
Finishing Touches For The Living Room
Last week I showed you the updates I've made in my living room. It took six months but only cost me $140 to give the room a much lighter and brighter feel. My shopping strategy with household decor, as with groceries, is to wait until something is at the lowest price I can find before I… Continue reading Finishing Touches For The Living Room
Living Room Refresh {On A Budget}
This year I really wanted to replace our living room furniture. We currently have a worn (but still pretty comfy) hand-me-down leather sectional, a matching recliner and a very old love seat that Paul brought from his bachelor days. It has a slip cover that is really showing wear (thanks mostly to Thelma Lou). Several months… Continue reading Living Room Refresh {On A Budget}

Usually I leave my red, white and blue out from a few weeks before Memorial Day until at… Continue reading My Home Sweet Home {Patriotic Decor}
Pattern Mixing in the Dining Room
I try to always set a pretty table for our Sunday lunch, even if it isn't as fancy as something I would put together for a holiday meal. Last weekend I picked up some fun place mats on clearance at Target, and they inspired me to pull together this colorful table setting for our lunch… Continue reading Pattern Mixing in the Dining Room

Red And Green Christmas Tablescape
I had so much fun putting this tablescape together for today's post! This year I really wanted to decorate my tree with lots of red, gold and burlap...but the Christmas decor I've collected over the past several years is red, turquoise and silver. Don't get me wrong, I love my tree - but it was fun… Continue reading Red And Green Christmas Tablescape
$5 Goodwill Challenge: Christmas Edition
I struggle with wreaths in general, but Christmas presents an additional challenge to my wreath impairment. My front door is a lovely burgundy...but it clashes with Christmas red! Last year I went with green and gold, but that arrangement bit the dust after being exposed to the elements of winter. This year I went a totally… Continue reading $5 Goodwill Challenge: Christmas Edition
