Budget Art- Add Budget Art to Your Home and Don't Spend a Fortune

There are many ways to stretch a budget when it comes to decorating a home, and one of the easiest may be to create your own budget artwork. If your finances have been blown on a move, wedding, furniture, or other necessities, you may be looking at bare walls and no money to decorate them. You'll have to get creative and find or make some of your own budget artwork. How should you begin this project? If you already know what style of decorating you like, you're in luck. It will make it much easier to select subjects, colors, mats, and frames for your art.
This really wasn't my idea. I have some smart sisters. They looked at the piles of laundry in my tiny laundry room, and said, Ana, what if . . . All your laundry baskets could be like drawers in a dresser . . . And we didn't have to see your dirty - and clean - laundry every time we visit. In my defense, most of the piles of laundry in my home are clean.

How I Furnished My Entire Home for $716.97

http://www.mint.com/blog/how-to/how-i-furnished-my-entire-home-for-716-97-032012/ A few years ago, I moved to another state carrying only what I could fit in my car: a few boxes of clothes, a stack of books, and a coffee mug. Since moving is expensive – even when you don’t actually move anything – I had to find a way to furnish my entire house without draining what was left of my meager savings. I started shopping furniture websites and realized I’d have to spend $4,473.73 to get just the basics. That wasn’t happening, so I took an alternate path through garage sales, flea markets, and clearance racks – and I saved a ton of money.
