Cute Room, No $$

Seeing the same room day after day can loose it's charm. Here's 5 new ways to freshen up a room with little to no cost :)

1. Paint - Just a simple coat for your walls can really brighten things up.
*Try this: Paint one wall a different color from all the others or give your room some stripes; it uses less paint and is much more original!

2. Re-arrange - Switching the layout of your furniture gives a new feeling of comfort as you enter the room.
*Try this: Mirrors make all the difference, moving or adding one to a wall forces you to see a side of the room your not used to seeing in the mirror.

3. New Bed - When your bed is the focal point of the room, changing the comforter or sheets feels like you've changed the whole room.
*Try this: Mixing and matching different throw blankets and pillows is a better way to change your bed up with out spending $$ in the stores. Just think of all the pillows and blankets you have everywhere else in your home!

4. Organization - With a new system of organizing you'll feel like your whole room is 10x cleaner.
*Try this: You know you're closet is cleaned and organized but it still looks cluttered. Try organizing all your clothes and shoes by color. Watch the new rainbow assortment of clothes brighten your closet!

5. Less Furniture - You'd be surprised how more open your room will look when you take out that big TV or unnecessary dresser.
*Try this: Once you're able to take out one piece of furniture that doesn't really mean anything you can totally switch everything else around. Give all your shelves and dressers a new purpose!

DIY: Envelope Notes

These pretty string of envelopes are perfect for hanging near a desk for keeping notes in. I also like to use it for holding sticky notes, bookmarks, small cards, and photographs. You can use yours however you want; here's how to make 'em: 

First you have to make your envelopes-you can choose any kind of paper just make sure you cut it into a square.

Once you've made about 5 or 6 envelopes it's time to tape them all together. Tape each top flap of the envelopes to the back of another until you get one long string. To hang them you can use thumb tacks or sticky tack; for mine I taped a little piece of ribbon to the top in a looped shape. Whatever fits your style best :)
