I did a slap-dash reupholstery of a chair, painted and decoupaged the small shelving unit that holds my dvds, and moved around some knick-nacks to make the space look more open. I also bought some new frames at Marshall's Home Goods for really cheap. I also ended up having to replace a few items when they were shattered in the DC earthquake, but that wasn't part of the original plan...<br /><br />One thing that I did spend some actual money on, though, was new sheets and a new duvet cover. I have to say I really think it was money well spent; the duvet cover was about $50 and the sheets were about $30 and they totally brightened up my bedroom. <br /><br />But honestly just purging some of my crappy old stuff and moving the nice old stuff around a bit has really helped make my apartment look brand new. Now if only I could shake off my desire to buy the new couch I want from West Elm....TeacHerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641784616684869834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921609404771984660.post-9345746519757981282011-10-02T07:20:31.636-07:002011-10-02T07:20:31.636-07:00Great post!

Sometimes changing the things around you already own & adding in small new touches, can add a lot!~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.com
