9 Budget Decorating Ideas You Can Do This Weekend - Thistlewood Farm
It’s Thursday friend.
You are almost to Friday. It’s so close that it’s waving at you. I’m not sure if you already have plans for Saturday yet, but I have a few fun ideas for you.
I get project fever right about now.
The snow has melted. The rain has passed. The sun is shining and the warm breezes are tiptoeing across the back yard and I can feel summer knocking at the back door.
Everything feels fresh and new and bright and happy.
And I want the house to feel just like that.
Your Saturday may already be full.
But just in case you had a few extra minutes.
Here are 9 budget decorating ideas you can finish in a weekend.
1. drop cloth curtains
I have no sew drop cloth curtains and sew drop cloth curtain tutorials for you.
You can see them both here.
Along with ALL THE QUESTIONS.
2. DIY drop cloth wreath
This wreath is so easy to make.
All you need is a round leaf form and drop cloth (you can use the extras that you cut off your curtains).
3. Style your open kitchen cabinets
This project will take you about 2 hours.
But the results?
They will last until 2020.
If you don’t have open kitchen cabinets, you could style a bookcase or a hutch.
4. Unslump your couch cushions
This is an EASY 20-minute decorating project.
If you have slumpy couch cushions, you can fix them in a hot minute.
