Fun Times on a Dime

During tight times I like to feel like I'm changing things and keeping things fresh but alas there is no money for such things. So what do I do when times are tight, very little excess money to throw around? I think about a show I used to watch on HGTV (back when I had cable); it was called Design on A Dime. The show was taking one room and redesigning it for under $500, well since I don't have $500. My show is called design on $50. We rearranged the dining room into a great office space for my fiance to work giving him a room with a view, files and file cabinets, space to pace and maybe even a whiteboard to work with. Our largest expense was the lamp which added up to $30. The room looks great and next week after payday, it gets a fresh coat of paint to top off the deal. So a whole day of fun looking around the house for things that will help to keep him organized and give him the space he needs to create! Fun times on a dime...so while you are enjoying time in your home, think of things that will make you happy. Maybe it's finally cleaning out that closet that you have been dreading going into. Maybe it's cleaning all the ceiling fans or sweeping the basement or cleaning the attic. There are things that could be trash to treasure items lurking all over your home and can make a new look for a room. You feel like you've spent money but really we just rearranged the old look. Hope you find something to update with your trash to treasure items during this tight financial time.

God Bless.
