Easy Ideas To Freshen Up Your Home!

I have a few simple ideas to make your house a home on a budget! They are quick and easy to do!

Lamps~ Change out your lamp shades with new ones! The drum shades can give any lamp a new look! If you don't have money to change out...think about a simple slip cover to change the look of your lamp...You can sew one or use no sew techniques...:)

In love with my lamp shades...I think they are so perfect...They will be staying! Collections~ What do you have lying around your home that you can make into a collection?That is the easiest way to add a WOW factor to your home! It could be plates, mirrors, children's wooden chairs, canes, books...The possibilities are endless... I am working on my layered plate collage...I am going to make a thick framed leaning chalk board to go under my collection of plates...:) A Place For YOU...We decorate for everyone else...Our family, our friends, our neighbors... What about us? Find a place, that makes YOU feel relaxed...and add something that will make you feel good when you are there...It could be your bedside, your porch or your bath... Add a beautiful piece of art, a mirror, some flowers, or anything that makes you feel alive and refreshed... Pillows... Change out your sofa pillows (you know the ones it came with...lol) and add new ones...get creative..Mix patterns and textures...Don't be afraid to shake it up a little... Think FUN! And let it evolve...you will be surprised how much more your sofa stands out with variety! Paint~Paint is the cheapest way to add character and personality to any space... Add a fresh coat inside of a piece of furniture to add instant charm! Paint a piece of furniture a bold, fun color and watch it come alive! It is inexpensive and easy to do! XoXo, Screaming Meme
