We’re slowly getting the new place decorated, which is good after living here six months! Mostly we need to get the furniture together; our living room is looking great except that we have, you know, a zebra print scoop chair and a blue recliner in here. ANYWAYS, one of the problems I’ve had is decorating on an extreme budget. We found & redid barstools that way, and I wanted to share a pretty easy (& cheap! woohoo!) way to spruce up a room.
Things you’ll need:
- Assorted photo frames, in various sizes (I got most of mine from thrift stores for 99 cents apiece)
- Tear outs from magazines
The result?
Doesn’t look like much, but I swear, it brings the room together like woah.
A few tips:
- Look at ads as well as editorials. You might have to creatively cut a logo out but some of them have great designs. Protip: using the Tom Ford perfume ads might be a bad idea. You know, in case your grandma drops by…
- And don’t be afraid to cut them up! That image of the chick holding cards in the upper left hand corner was originally a full page photo.
Oh and the total cost? Less than $15 (not counting the magazines, which I already owned!).
