Step #1
Set a
decorating budget
Decide how much
you can spend on your decorating project. You may even want to make
a short term and long term goal for the room so that you can successfully
save money for the bigger ticket items in the long term.
When you are
setting your budget for your project, make a list of the furniture,
accents, plants, bedding, curtains, etc., along with the estimated cost
for each item.

Step #2
Pick a
theme
By picking a theme for a
room, this gives you direction, and a clear picture of what the room
should look like when complete.
If you do not already have a
theme in mind, please consider one of our themes in this website:

Step
#3
Check your garage,
basement, closets, etc.
There is a good chance you
already have some of the goods you need in your garage, basement, closets,
etc.
If you have an old beat up
accent table, lamp, or vase in your garage, get some spray paint or
acrylic craft paint and do a quickie fix up on it.
If you have some old pillows
not being used in your closets, purchase or sew covers to match your
theme.

Step
#4
Decorate:
The best part!
Go shopping, gather the items
you desire, stay within your theme and budget, rearrange furniture, and
most of all, have fun and get creative.
Be sure to follow through
with finishing touches and small details.
Study the room and keep an
eye out for the perfect accent piece, even when your not out shopping for
them.
