How to add character to your home (on a budget) I have often found myself searching through home decor magazines and always wonder... "How can I get my living room to look like THAT?! " Every page is filled with rooms which look perfectly put together yet comfy and lived in all at the same time. Being that the living room is the first room that you see when you enter our home & where we spend the most of our time as a family, watching TV, playing, reading, etc... it becomes the room which I analyze the most.
I feel as if it is never done, and quite possibly never will be. Over the past few weeks I have gathered magazines and inspiration to "spruce up" our living room and add some character & on a BUDGET! Living in Military Housing, there are many things that can be hard to overlook, like the plain stark white walls for example. In most military housing areas they allow you to paint, just as long as you re-paint back to the original color before moving out. Second, shop at consignment stores, thrift stores or re-sale shops.

I have another turquoise project for you today. It is one that uses fabric instead of paint. I made a no sew window treatment for my daughter’s apartment bedroom using only 1 yard of fabric.
I wasn’t sure exactly what she was going to like or even need on the window, so I made the shade versatile – she can change the look of it 1.2.3… I photographed it on one of the windows in my studioffice. Here is the same yard of fabric styled 3 different ways – all completed with no sewing at all.

Today is the last official post for our trash diet (although I’m sure I’ll be posting more green living projects in the future).
Our final topic on how to reduce your waste is probably the easiest to implement – reusing. There are so many areas where families can reuse and it makes so much sense to do so. It’s good for both the earth and your bank account! Click through for my favorite posts and products for getting in the reusing habit, as well as a recap of our diet success.
Reusable bags – These days there are reusable bags on the market in every shape and size and for every purpose. For grocery shopping, I like the type that roll up into a ball and can be easily stored in a purse or diaper bag. Are especially fun because they transform into small animals, which is sure to get the little ones excited about reusing. Along with shopping bags, small food storage bags can also be reusable. Brand is especially stylish. With built-in filters. So that wraps up our month-long trash diet. P.S.
