I love to decorate and here are a few of my cheap ideas, can't really do too much since I still live in the dorms, but next year when I get my appartment it will so much fun!
-Get cheap non-fitted sheets with neat designs or that match your colors, make swags over the windows by draping them, twist in some fake ivy or dried flowers maybe
-A few of my friends have picture boards where they covered a piece of square board with fabric then have pieces of ribbon criss-crossing so you can switch pictures/cards in out
-Cheap unfinished shelves at craft stores with framed pictures on them, get some of that tough mounting tape if you can't use nails
-Right now I have this big collage of black and white pictures from last year's calender with bright pictures of flowers from seed catalogs mixed in..very neat
I could go on and on, but I will stop now..haha.. It's all about the lighting too, get some small lamps to soften the light and give you that warm/cozy feeling..they always do that on Trading Spaces.. I watch waaayyy too many of those shows!
