Budget Schmudget...

Being on a budget is not always everyone's favorite thing, but budgets do tend to inspire creativity, you must admit.  Many of you (and us, too) are learning to do more with less and, instead of griping about it, are relishing the opportunity to be thrifty, creative, and wise with your choices.  We think this is a really positive thing right now, and even after the wrinkles of the economy are ironed out, we hope people will still choose to be creative and thrifty!  

Paint is probably the number one way to do a cheap, yet chic, transformation in your home.  One of us is lamenting the absolutely boring dining room she has, but she knows the budget won't allow for new furniture.  So...how about paint?  Check out these four dining rooms below and notice the impact that painted dining room chairs can have on a space.  Such an inexpensive change with dramatic results!
