Notable Notes
What the Internet has to Say: 
Apartment Therapy curated 20 tips for decorating on a budget from a few of the pros. Some out of the box ideas are shared from those in the business of decorating homes.
What Jen and Jill have to Say: 
We like what Jamie Drake has to say about shopping at home. Check your basement, attic, or even other rooms for pieces that could accentuate or complete the look you want.
Emily Henderson also shared a great tip in the article about focusing on one statement piece and finding less expensive items to compliment that decor.
We also agree to focus on the shape and function of furniture as they can be reupholstered or painted if the color or fabric is not quite right.
More from the Internet: 
This Country Living article provides 38 decorating ideas for those sprucing up their homes on a budget. The author focuses on small projects that can make all the difference in the look and feel of the rooms in your home!
More from Jen and Jill:
While there is much to debate about wallpaper, it can be worth considering on an accent wall; especially if you purchase the kind that is easily removed! Check out this article for a list of companies selling removable wallpaper!
We also agree with the tips on adding a fresh coat of paint to walls as a way of re-imagining a room(#3), using trays and large plates to organize and corral items (#9), turning cards or prints into framed pieces of art (#24), and changing out the hardware on cabinets for a clean and updated look (#25)!
