WELCOME!
Happy 2012!
Welcome, won't you stay a while? There's so much to do, and we hope to share it all with you this year. Design, crafts, frugal living... You'll find this and more at Design-Aholic!
As I mentioned in
my previous post, I am hoping to be more fiscally responsible this year since our expenses are growing with a little one.
One thing I've missed out on through 2010 was decorating, because there was just no time. I want to revamp our home again in 2011, and I thought a neat project would be to tally the amount spent in 2011 on my projects & decor for the house.
So, on the sidebar now, there will be a
Decor Cost: 2011 tally section. (see it over there, on the right side bar?) I'll update that after my projects or revamps and purchases for the house are made. I hope to do a lot with a little... what a game to play!
How do you keep tabs (or not!) on your budgets for decorating and making your house a home? Do you set goals to spend, or do you put money aside? Let me know your way of keeping your home fresh, but while being fiscally responsible.
I am a bargain shopper and don't get anything unless I get it on sale or with a coupon. I shop for things long before I put a room together, collecting them all in a drawer. Once I have what I need I start the transition. Works for me! Oh and of course Goodwill and spray paint help too! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! It would be interesting to know how much we spent on home decor/projects over the last year. I don't really have a specific budget set aside for that type of stuff, although this year we're going to try to keep better track of our budget as a whole with Mint.com.
