I’m always looking for ways to change up decorations in our home without making new purchases on our 1 income while we’re both in graduate school. This past Spring, I decided I wanted to start transitioning all our brown/tan decor into silver/black for a more modern twist.
I LOVE to spray paint metal to make it “new” to me! In the picture to the right, I spray painted the metal ball and switched out the fleur-de-lis with a metal one I painted silver. I then removed the picture frame and hat box and added an antique leather hat box I had sitting in our garage collecting dust. Sometimes if I look hard enough, my home and garage can turn into a FREE HomeGoods shopping spree!
What is your next project? Do you have anything lying around you can paint to make new or move into another room to make your decorating more affordable? Grab a cup of coffee and take a walk around your house as if your in HomeGoods…I bet you’ll find some hidden treasures lying around. It can also be helpful to scroll through Pinterest for inspiration. It never fails that after an hour on Pinterest, I’m roaming the house looking for my next diy or decorating switch up.
Where do you draw decorating inspiration from? Do you have hidden treasures in your house?
