I'm looking for a little inspiration. I'm starting to feel like lots of the home decor in my lil' apartment is getting old, you know what I mean? I'm getting sort of bored with it and am looking to change things up a bit. There are, however, a few limitations, the main one being cost.So, do you have any decorations or craftiness in your home that you absolutely LOVE and want to share with others? I found this idea on another website and I love, love, love it. Who needs a headboard when you can get cute mirrored frames like that? Next time I'm near IKEA, I'm going to make sure to purchase those babies (only $1.99 each!)
Break out the camera and snap a few shots of some decorating ideas in your homes. I'd love to see them, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Big projects or small, post 'em!

ReplyDeleteI tend to decorate a lot with photos. I feel like you can't go wrong with seeing the faces of people you love. I try to match picture frames in certain rooms or do themes like black & white. One of my favorite frames is in my daughter's room. There are spaces for three photos and I have one of her, and one of both my husband and I when we were young. I also have a few photo collages from Snapfish in my home.
ReplyDeleteSomething else I like in my home are a few vintage posters of cities where we've lived.
I also like paper lanterns and stars and they are always cheap. My favorite lamp is like a 6 foot tall paper hourglass type shape that stands on the floor from Ikea. I think it was like $20.
Wish I was more creative!!
P.S. I am intrigued by this site but haven't purchased anything...yet.

I love using vinyl. I have vinyl lettering on my walls and I use small vinyl cutouts to decorate as well. For example- at Christmas, I got some vinyl snowflakes and stuck them on the canisters in my kitchen for a little extra Christmas cheer! My friend Kim from Urban Lettering cuts all my vinyl projects for me and she does a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteI am no decorating pro, but you can get a lot of great stuff at places like Marshall's, Ross, TJ Maxx, or whatever store like that is near you, for great costs. Places like Hobby Lobby (again, I don't know what stores are near you) have great sales a lot, as well as clearance aisles, and you can put together arrangements of silk flowers in cool vases, etc. I like looking at magazines like Pottery Barn, and then trying to copy it with a way lower budget. In summary, check out clearance items in the home decor section of whatever store you're in!
