Oh yeah for you.... decorating a new home or even just a small space is going to be so much fun !

I love to shop and decorate my home and every now and than find something to add to the mix. Its nice when you can afford to do it with a sense of style and still keep the budget in check. Thats the fun part, finding new things at a great price to mix in with the old things that you love and want to keep but making sure that they work together.

I feel the key to an amazing space is the window treatments and the wall color. Myself I love earth tones. (greens, mauves, golds, tans and oranges) I love the feel of a warm and cozy home by adding window treatments that keep out the sun and make the room look and feel more inviting. It just takes a great color on the walls and a great window treatment. Making sure that both will match your existing material on your sofa and chair. Than just add you accessories to tie it all together. Rid what doesn't work and add new things that do.

We went with a Tuscan theme and I love it. It is definitely a big change from what was there org. . It had been 12 yrs since we did anything to it. Just waiting for the cash to replace the tables so something with more of a Tuscan feel and it will be perfect.

I was able to add accessories when I re did the living room for under $150. I didn't purchase one thing at cost, I shopped sale items, clearance and garage sales. I found my window treatment on clearance for $4 a panel for the drapes and only paid $8 for the sheer panels. I got throw pillows on sale and nick knacks and wall hanging on clearance hear and there until I had enough to do my entire room. I also found some really great pieces at garage sales that I reproposed and found anew use for them.

Are you doing the entire home or just a few rooms?
