I love decorating and changing things up pretty often and that could get very expensive but I don’t let it. Reusing things I already have can be fun and rewarding.It is amazing what a can of spray paint can do.It can take a picture frame and turn it into a piece of art. I can even rearrange a room and feel like I have totally redecorated everything. It only take a small change to have a big effect on the way a rooms looks. I am going to list 7 amazing makeovers below that you can do yourself and not break the bank. Try at least one of them and see what you think.

  1. Add some wall art. Wall Words are becoming very popular these days. they can personalize any room.The vinyl can be a bit pricey but there are ways to get the same effect much cheaper by stenciling them on the wall and painting them yourself.
  2. Add a glass shelf across your kitchen window. This is a neat place to display those beautiful wines glasses.by using glass for your shelf you don’t block the light coming into your kitchen.
  3. Add frosted glass door to your kitchen cabinets.You don’t even have to ad it to all of them just the ones you prefer.This will create visual space to your kitchen but the frosted glass will still conceal the content of your cabinets. For an even more stunning ad a light.
  4. Buy old vintage suit cases at yard sales or flea markets and stack them to make a unique end table.The suit cases don’t have to be alike or even the same color. Miss matched will ad more eye appeal.
  5. Use an old door to create a headboard for that guest bedroom. Flea markets are a good place to find these and they can be cut down to match the size of your bed if it is a full, queen or king size you want. Ad a coat of paint and your good to go.
  6. Add slip covers to that old couch and chair.Slip covers are a very economical way to make things look new again without the cost of new. They come in all sizes and colors .you can even choose the type of material you want.
  7. Add a new ceiling fan and hand paint a medallion to mount to the ceiling. This is not as hard as it sounds.Paint just the parts of the medallion that are raised if you like and if you mess up keep some white paint close by and touch it up and start over until you get the look you’re looking for.

Decorating you home yourself can not only save you money but can be something you are proud to say you did. the only hard part about it is getting started. If you need ideas pick up your favorite magazine and just look through the pictures .
