30 Days of Tips to Re~Style, Redecorate & Refresh Your Home for under $25 ~ Tip 4

Restyling your home doesn't have to be limited to the interior. Don't forget the outside. As you come up  my driveway, you see the  west side of my house. The plants and flowers look nice, but the wall next to the windows is plain. I found an old pink star at the flea market for $18.00. I think it was probably once a clock from the 60s? I love … [Read more...]
