I’m going to have some fun by combining three of my passions – decluttering, being frugal, and redecorating my home. Pinterest hasn’t helped curb those passions either!
Then I found a great idea on the blog "The Thrifty Abode" (http://thethriftyabode.blogspot.com/ ) – “Zero Dollar Decorating”. Brilliant idea! I have SO much stuff available to use (lumber, hardware, cloth, etc) that I am issuing myself the same challenge! I will spend nothing and will completely makeover a room or area. I have 7 areas (so far) that I want to work on. I’m sure that list will expand!
I will make one exception to the no spend rule… paint for the walls. You can’t make it and it is an important element in redecorating a room. However, any other paint for furniture, frames, whatever… has to come from my stash.
Also considered “fair” will be found items, swaps, gifts, or smuggled-out-of-my-parents-house. (Shhhhh… don’t tell them!) ;-)
I’ll tell you my plans for my first makeover on Wednesday!
