    Question How often do you re-decorate?

    I usually do it about every couple of years. I love decorating.

    You?

    Considering I did this for a living, my house is a shambles. LOL
    I honestly have done so little initial decorating since moving, so re-decorating is not a factor here yet.

    I am trying to keep things toned down so I don't feel the need to redo as frequently as before.

    If it involves wallpaper, I make sure I really like it and leave it till it comes back in style....lol.

    Not enough to suit me! I love changing things, and wish there were more dollars to re-decorate right now. I am going to be making a few changes soon, but they are going to have to be very frugal changes.

    I am looking forward to some decorating in my very own APARTMENT in 3 weeks! I am so excited! I need a couch, some type of entertainment unit, some coffe tables and eventually a new bed (mine is a single, ex got our queen bed, BooHOO!) My kitchen will be done in roosters (dollar store accents!) and my bathroom will be in a wine color. I don't know yet about my bedroom/living room...

    I used to re-do every 2-3 years. But now it's when the mood and energy hits me.
    I redid 2 bedrooms during the summer of last year and my hallway is next, followed by the bathroom and 1 more bedroom. Did I mention I love this new forum?!

    Not very often. We are saving money to move right now and hopefully we will have a little extra so I can buy some new things to decorate the house with.

    We've been here almost 10 years and the only changes we've made is painting the bath and making our porch a year round eating area. I am terrified at repapering the house so we've been putting up with what we have. We do spring for new towels every once in a while though. Big whoop eh?
    We spend a lot of time decorating our yard with new gardens and such.
