One thing we didn't ask for when we got married was any type of framed artwork for hanging in our home as newlyweds. I'm an artist for goodness sake! I've got plenty of things piled in our closets here in our tiny apartment, they just haven't made it onto the walls. And I've also got plenty of inspirational images saved up for a rainy day. One of my most favorite decorating/crafting/artistic finds lately has been this fantastic little "Creat a Custom Paint By Number" program.
Jenny over at Little Green Notebook wrote a great entry about it as well, and posted a number of images she had lying around that would make for beautiful blobby paintings... go check her out!
What's your favorite cheap house decoration in your home?
For cheap decorating, I love Terri's Consign and Design. I've gotten tons of our furniture there and gotten great deals on it! Some of my best finds were the red hutch in our kitchen, the buffet in our dining room, the cherry bookcase in the nursery, but the best deal by far has been our master bedroom furniture. Thomasville floor room samples from Thomasville store on Barrett Pkwy- king sleigh bed, two nightstands, dresser, and high boy: $2000 - and we drove right across the street to check out the retail price - retails for $8000! It was practically brand new. All the pieces still had the booklets stapled in the drawers and everything!
ReplyDeleteI've also found great furniture at yard sales. My mom found our 4 bar stools for $10 each, and we just painted them black.
I LOVE the paint by number program. We'll have to try that!
I have a new Jack Davis 2009 Ga Dogs poster you can frame.....!!!
