    Whether you have a new baby on the way and trying to create a nursery that is safe, organized, and colorful or you are trying to create a personalized space for your child to reflect his imagination, decorating a child’s room can not only be stressful and time consuming, but also very expensive...

  3. Secondhand Shopping
    I went to the Salvation Army and they were having a 1/2 off clothing sale. I picked up 3 jackets for 25 cents, two pair of pants and a pair of leather Rites shoes for $2.00. I spent $3.25. I couldn't believe it. I will be decorating my jackets after I wash them. Pic's coming soon.

    We are putting a 24 foot camper in our yard for our 18 almost 19-year-old for a "home-away-from-home" for when he and dh are fighting or when ds is having "issues" and I'd like to decorate it as frugally as possible. I want it to be nice, but don't want to spend a fortune. I may use it also when...

  6. Homesteading and gardening
    I love walking or driving by homes to see what people put outside of their houses to add to the summertime look. Sometimes it's not something that thrills me like gnomes and wooden people bent over etc. (sorry lovers of that kind of thing) but often times I just really admire the containers and...
  7. Question and Answer
    Well I hope that didn't sound morbid.. I've put them across my china cabinet before and it looked pretty cool until the cats got bored. Dh got me a dozen for our anniversary and was thinking of creative ways to keep them decorative in the house. I was thinking in our bedroom on top of the...

    Mr. Husband has finally taken the boxes out of the attic, so now I am going to take today (it's a slow work-day) and start putting them up. I never feel as if I have enough decorations, but then again I don't have the bank of Martha Stewart, either. We have outside lights, our Christmas tree...

  10. General Chat
    I have absolutely 0 Christmas spirit this year. I don't even want to bother decorating or baking. Am I the only one that feels this way? It's the economy and the stress of my day to day life. I think I'm a tad bit depressed this year. I love to watch Christmas movies and listen to music but...
  11. Holidays-Special Occasions-Celebrations
    Just curious about what kind of decorations people put up in their homes or yards for this time of year. I don't mean Thanksgiving, just Fall in general, or halloween. Do you hang stuff on your door, or have special nick-nacks? There's all this home decor stuff in stores, I wonder who buys it...
  12. Holidays-Special Occasions-Celebrations
    We had our St Patty's day dinner last night (corn beef & cabbage, YUM), and I realized I didn't have any St Patty's day decor to go on the table. I then starting thinking about it, and other than fall and Christmas, I don't really decorate for anything. I came from a home where my mom had...
  13. Home Decorating
    In the coming year, we are planning to redo both of my DDs bedrooms and bathrooms. DD18 wants to decorate her bathroom with penguins. I am wondering what colors to paint the walls. I don't want to use black and white, which would be obvious colors to use. Maybe a touch here and there, but...

  17. Home Decorating
    I've really been in the decorating mood lately. Yesterday I decided that my living room was too dark for Spring and Summer so I took down my dark red curtains and put a blue/white/yellow stripe valance up over my sheers. It really brightens up the room and lets the natural light in. I made the...

  20. Home Decorating
    I've been changing some of my thoughts on always being frugal in the decorating of my home. I'd probably shock some in what I plan on spending over the next few months. Are you always frugal when you decorate your home or do you splurge? And if you splurge, what do you splurge on?
