Easy & Inexpensive Decor Ideas

I always say, "use what you already have." Or re-purpose a yardsale find, or something free. There is no need to spend a lot of money or time to have a pleasant home. I rounded up quite a few ideas here for you today, I hope they will get your creative juices flowing!



Maison de Pax: Whitewashed Curtain Rod Tutorial

Maison de Pax has a really great idea for curtain rods and finials.  



The Pin Junkie has a great tute for framing out a bathroom mirror. 






As The Card Rack Turns has a really fun and cute wreath idea. Love it!






Maison de Pax painted her frame mat for a whole new look! She has a couple of tricks you should see. 






Here is a trick I have done before and it works great! Inexpensive curtains and almost no work involved from....what?? My Sew What Blog will show you how.

You will never believe what this shadow box started out as! Never! I love it, so pretty. So go see it over at Doodle Buddies.

This is a fabulous display idea, and really good re-purposing one too! You will find out all about it over at Craftiments.

  34. Hi Connie!
    Congrats on being spotlighted today on Mamal Diane!
    I love how you've gathered these all together! I've seen some before and never know how to relocate! Awesome idea! My favorites are the nautical displays and bathroom wall gallery....'cause that's my house for sure! And so many neat ideas from @Denise on a Whim! I'm inspired...and best of all...my husband loves flea markets and antique shops too! Can't wait!
