Decorating on a Budget

Some interesting ideas for decorating bedrooms! j

 

This week let's look at your daughters' room! I love the stripes on the wall that go around the room - what a great idea!  Notice how the stripes are carried out in the rug.  The colors are also carried in the bedding. If you pick out a fun rug and then pull your colors from that you can do some really interesting designs. If you note in the picture the overall theme is fairly simple.

I love the idea of a bed runner. It allows you to use a simple (and less expensive!) comforter and get interest through the material on the runner. Notice how the bed runner not only ties the colors together but adds a lot of pizzaz! If you love to sew there are some really easy runner patterns. Imagine the  possiblities - instead of a solid you could use some geometric patterns - can you see fabric with circles or squares?! You could also use the fabric at the window as well - maybe taking an inexpensive roller shade and sewing (or use glue!) the fabric along the bottom of the shade. Don't forget the pillows! They are a must!

Let me know what YOU start with!  Go wild! Enjoy!! j

The traffic signal is a DOT project. I called today and spoke to the project manager who could notRead More give me an exact date of the start of construction and said he'd get back to me. That was a over four hours ago. The project, as indicated at several meetings, is scheduled for sometime this summer. The funding was put in last year and will carry over because the project is not yet ongoing.

We live on Hubbard St. in Middlefield, but there was a sighting of a very similar sounding cat inRead More the Skeet Club Road area. I'm waiting for the poster to see this photo to let me know if she thinks it's her.

Lisa, I am sorry to say this doesn't look like the kitty that has been around our house. Your MaddieRead More has more white on the chest. Do you have a picture of her from the front? I think her feet have more white, too. I'm sorry. I will keep my eyes open though. If you have another picture, I can post it at the store.

Thank you. I'll get one printed.
