When we purchased our home I knew there was a dream list I wanted to get to work on right away... it was toned down significantly through budgetary constraints but I was able to get creative and discover how to decorate on a budget...and show patience as all the projects couldn't get done when I wanted them to. I will give the cost breakdown because I am always curious when I hear "decorating on a budget" what does that ACTUALLY mean and does my budget and yours really mean the same thing...
I am still working on the family room, the bedrooms and the main floor bath so I won't share those...but here is the main floor...done!
