Wow what a May! We had the biggest One Day Sale event in our history. Thank you for making it so successful.
Last month we finished up our series on color, and I've done some hard thinking on where to go next with our monthly tips. After a few weeks of thinking and researching what would benifit you most I felt almost silly it didn't jump out at me in the beginning. Over the next few months I'll be giving you low cost decorating ideas. It may be general information on ideas or more percise instructions on what to do with old furniture. I hope you enjoy.

Low cost ideas Part I
If you are like most Americans with having just come through one of the wealthiest times in our countries history... it's a safe bet you have piled up quite a bit of "stuff". Maybe you've moved into a new home and some of your old furniture didn't quite fit the space you intended, so you stored it away or lent it to a family member. If so and you want to change the look of a room start going through all the items you have in storage or if you sold most of it start checking out some yard sales, with summer here I'm sure there are plenty happening all around you. It's amazing what you can find and the cost will be next to nothing.
With some creativity you'll turn an old beaten down piece of furniture from storage or a neighbors yard sale into a brand new "one of a kind" piece that's perfectly suited for sprucing up and creating a new look for your room. Who knows... after you've put some creative work into it you may fetch quite a price on E-Bay when you decide it's time to buy again.
Here are a few ideas:
- Old quilts and blankets have great designs on them so use them as a slip cover for a chair or make some throw pillows out of them to spice up your old sofa. If you have one large enough, change the cushion seats on your kitchen or dining room chairs. After doing so I'll bet you'll have at least one friend ask if you've bought a new set.
- Do you have an old Hall Tree? If so, spruce it up with a faux finish and put it in your little girl's room as a vanity.
- Old night stands and small chests make a great media stand for your flat screen TV Again, give it a new look with some paint or refinish it completely to match any room you choose to place it in.
If you have a good idea to share, please drop us a line and if we use it in a future e-mail we'll give you the credit as well as send you a target gift card for your trouble.

Something of Interest!
Is the Wardrobe a thing of the past? At one time in our recent history wardrobes where quite popular. They were purchased to store our 35" TV so we could hop into bed and catch the late news or watch a movie with our loved one. Now with the ever popular flat screen TV's will we see less and less of the Wardrobe? If this past market is any indication the answer is yes. We saw many night stands where the top drawer doubled for a media area complete with electrical outlet so you could place your flat screen on top and your digital cable in the top drawer... The front facing folded down like a computer keyboard drawer so it looks like a normal night stand when you want it too.
