I love to find good bargains and I love to be able to decorate my home with what I find. I'm not usually one to just buy something unless I have a place for it. I spent many of my earlier years buying stuff because I liked it, then spent many of my later years trying to find a place to store it before eventually giving it away.

My living room wall, which leads to my hallway and bedrooms, needed some life. It is a large wall so finding the right mix of decor was important. I found two plug in wall lights with a leaf pattern shade, on line through "Collections ETC." They were a steal at $17.99 each, and caught a free shipping sale on top of the great price. The lighting is subtle, warm and inviting. I added a mirror, flower arrangement, small electric fireplace, two chairs and I had the wall and living room complete.

You don't have to spend a fortune to have a luxurious style, you just need to shop around. I purchased my chairs and fireplace from "Overstock.com" for $149.00 each and the fireplace was $199.00 and of course I waited for the free shipping offer before I made the purchase. The mirror was found at a yard sale for $5.00 and the floral arrangement was a gift. Most important is finding the type or style decor you are looking for. Once you know that, shopping is easy.

OUTDOOR SPACES

Charming outdoor spaces are built around budget friendly garden structures, including benches, pergolas, fences and a canopy. These architectural accents give your yards empty space a focal point and can make a large open space feel intimate.

Picket fences can be used in shorter lengths to create cozy corners for seating or they can be used as walls to designate a garden or dining area.

Pergolas come in ready made freestanding versions and can be placed in a corner to create a separate seating area.

A trellis makes an ideal backdrop for a bench and can be decorated with foliage or left plain for added decor to the outside of your home.

A free-standing canopy creates a sense of a room. All it takes is a level plot for it to stand on and the weather resistant fabric top will blocks the suns harsh rays. Attach a net to go around your canopy, if it doesn't already have one, for some evening enjoyment with friends or a romantic evening with a guest.

Add a few special touches, such as, a rug, some special padded seating, a table and some lighting. Now you have a room outside your home to enjoy.

Discount Shopping

Shopping for discounts and being aware of the "so called" bargain stores has made me decide to add a store that would carry everything one would need , from appliances to decor. The store is located under my profile where it says "Click here to go Shopping". This stores carries a large inventory and accepts major credit cards as well as PayPal.
