Got A Dime

Oh my... it is getting to be more and more the thought of all Americans... Hey ... mister... got a dime????? I honestly think more and more of us are beginning to think of ways to decorate on a dime. I actually can say it is nothing new to my way of living. I have always thought that way.... I read so many that are actually enjoying finding the treasures and decorating till their hearts content.... I have a special blogging friend Sandihttp://waysidetreasures-sandi.blogspot.com/ has experienced several recent changes and still wears a smile on her face and faith in her heart.. If you haven't visited this lovely blog ... please stop in .... Sandi has also been recently featured on vignette of the month.... Many of us are having changes come knocking at our door..... I guess the only way to answer is let them in... deal with them and keep on decorating....

When decorating on a dime you can still achieve great romantic fabrics with uses of finds of sheets..tablecloths...bedspreads....and curtains... Many other creative sources are hiding in little stacks in our favorite places... Using items like these can achieve a vintage inspired cottage with just the right romantic twist... Timeworn great built furniture can be also painted to fit any decor. Mismatched works if you love it... I personally like to stay in the same color tones but have also viewed some beautiful places that have mixed bold colors... The goal is to fill the home with love...

I do believe our home speaks to us and tells us it is alittle worn out and gives us a nudge to make changes... freshen up... and move things around... These nudges do not have to compound a already saturated economy and create any further problems however if you keep to the dime thought process.Let your mind dream and be creative... create your vision... Personally I love the BLING of crystals tucked in my BAREFOOT living style... be true to yourself and use objects that are useful and that you love.... And last but not least.... SHARE your ideas and photos with your blogger family.....

You are too kind Marietta! I do enjoy decorating on a dime though. It makes it all that much more fun. I did tell hubby to tell his boss to get him back on 40 hours a week before my birthday so I could get a new camera! LOL I doubt that will happen , but a girl can wish. :) Blessings!

A dime! That thing our daddies used to give us to phone home in case the boyfriend went mean on us? LOL!
Old stuff is just BETTER than new stuff anyway :) And simple pleasures are better than expensive ones too!

I've decorated on a dime for many many years and now it's just part of who I am. Hopefully, I've passed some of this on to my boys, looking for bargins if you can. I also wanted to say thanks for praying for my friend. It really means a lot. Have a great day, Theresa
