I can't post pics cause I'm at work.....but on my front door is a child's snow shovel decorated with rusty tin snow flakes, quilt mittens, and little snowmen heads. Got it off eBay. I change what's on my front door monthly according to whatever holiday is in that month or what season if there isn't a holiday.
On my mantle....cause I am a junk-o-holic....6 antique oil lamps on one end, two long baskets stacked on top of each other in the middle, (this is being switched when I get another clock that belonged to my parents) far end a couple of antique clocks beside those is a lamp made from a pottery jug that....get this...is from the 1800's
Bought that puppy at a yard sale for $15 cause I liked it. It has blue lettering (words)....did some research and discovered who the person was whose name was on it and who made it.....approximate value $300, cool, huh? Maybe not cool if your taste runs more contemporary
I tell ya the easiest decorating idea....change around what you ALREADY have. Use things in rooms you hadn't before, you'll be surprised how new it makes a room look. I placed an antique dresser in my dining room as a buffet piece....gal I got it from came over...and immediately said....hmmmm, wished I'd thought of that, cause I'd have kept it.
Another friend on a cheap budget, picked up various styles of clocks (not the old alarm clocks...LOL)...any way displays them all on her mantle. It looks really, really nice and didn't cost much at all.
