I have lived in a house with my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years and I haven't done anything to redecorate. I am a college student and I don't have a lot of cash. This place is still decorated like a bachelor pad and I am tired of it, but can't afford much to fix it up. I am most tired of the band posters on s couple of the walls, but have nothing to put in there place and can't afford it. All in all the place needs a little woman. Any creative ideas for sprucing the place up?

My favorite thing to do on the weekends is to hit any and all rumage and garage sales you see!!! Spring time is comming and they will be everywhere!! Yea! (i can't wait!) Also,find your local GoodWill Store, or a St.Vincent Depal store. St. Vinnies is ALOT cheaper then GoodWill. As you looking at the things they have,try to think of different ways to use what you see. You might see a wall shelf thats really ugly,But a can of spray paint and your all set! Example: a ugly golden framed mirror that the gold was worn off most of it. $2.00 at a rumage sale. I spray painted it black,bought a little jar of gold leaf paint,and painted gold leaf on the axcents of the frame. Just the other day,I was online looking at the Speagel Home website,THERE IT WAS! Same mirror only mine looks better and they wanted $85 for it! Use your imagination! And have fun!

Hello check out garage sales, oh you know there are 99cent stores popping up all over maybe look into that.They have nice pictures nic nacs curtains dishes etc... and painting well go to your local harware store they have mistake paints they sale for sometimes 3 dollars a gallon. Look in the paper.Oh sheets make good cutains look for clearance sales they have cheap stuff. Don't look for a theme look for color only three. IT would be furniture color wall color and accent color

I don't have alot of money either, & I'm cheap. I've found alot of nice framed pictures & poster size prints at the dollar tree for $1.00 each. Lots of decorative things there. Thrift shops are great too.

Add pillows, lamps, and new art. Its the cheapest cost effective way for students.
