Decorate on the Cheap!

Now that I’ve given you tips on some spring cleaning I figured I’d go right in into decorating projects. I’ve got a few in mind for spring/summer and I thought I’d share with you. Even if you are not as crafty as the next Mami there are some easy to do cheap projects that you can do to decorate.

I found this on the Michael’s website. It gives you step by step directions to do and would be nice to accomplish! I would love to do one for my living room and another in my half bathroom. We’re doing a gray black and white theme in there and that black and white one would be nice! And it’s just paper which you can find as low as 4 for $1. I’m going to add links at the bottom so you can check it out. You’d need about 1-2 hours to complete but the skill level is a one so it’s not hard to do at all! I’d probably would do four or 6 squares 9 for a bathroom looks too much! My favorite flower is the lily so I can see doing the daisy project with lily pictures. What do you think? Have any ideas for spring decorating?


I’m also looking for some pretty tela (fabric) to do some throw pillows for my living room. I’m trying to tie in some colors of my dining room into my living room. My living room is painted a sand color and I’ve got shades of brown and my dining room is painted a nice muted light blue. I’m thinking of getting chocolate brown and blue striped fabric for the throw pillows. I’m a sewing Mami in training though. I can do small stuff like throw pillows and cross stitching but I haven’t made my way around a sewing machine. I do have one but I’ve never used it. I got it as a wedding gift. But it would be perfect if I can use that same fabric for some nice curtains to match. You know, I’m going to have to look into that! I’ll post some pics of my finished projects! If they ever get finished! http://www.michaels.com/art/online/projectsheet?pid=e06201
