6. Breakfast table
Who decided kitchen table chairs had to match anyway? 
An eclectic mix of chairs is anything but chaotic, and always more interesting than any store-bought table set. The trick is to match the paint, the chair style, or the upholstery. Matching both the paint and upholstery is an even bigger eye catcher.
7. Bedding in a Bag
Bedding in a bag options have come a long way (they no longer look like they were designed specifically for Howard Johnson) and there are some very attractive options out there at relatively inexpensive prices, especially for kids’ rooms. Target, Kohl’s & K-Mart all have tons of cute looks.
8. White Bedding
By going all white with bedding. a fresh new look is created that’s perfect for Spring. It also creates a neutral palette for future decorating with colored throw pillows, blankets and accessories!
9. Paint and Sandpaper
Furniture can be transformed in a weekend with some primer, paint and sandpaper. Inexpensive furniture from a second hand store is the perfect target for trying a new paint color, some decorative painting or a distressed look.
10. Start Collecting Art
You don’t need a budget for original Warhols to become a collector! Even if your funds are next to nothing, you can always find something Fab & Fru on Ebay, at flea markets or even some high-end thrift stores. Art adds such authenticity and originality to any room!
