I've always had to decorate on a very slim budget

I've been very blessed to have many of my things

handed down, given to me,

or I've found at thrift shops/flea markets

to re decorate my living room I only had to put $11.99 in to it

this time,

that was to convert my chandelier into a hanging light..

I slip covered my stool

and made a few pillows with fabric I had..
the rest I gathered from other rooms in my cottage

my old soft

when the fabric wore out I made and added the gathered skirt

curtains $2. thrift

I made the dolls & 2 checked down pillows
