327 // Budget friendly tips for repurposing and updating your home decor with things you already own

Hey friend!

So you're ready for a little update or refreshing your space and you don't have a large budget? Using what you already have is easier than you might think, but knowing how to use it can require a bit of imagination.

In today's episode I'm sharing my 5 Rs - a strategy I use when I'm ready for a fresh new look in my home that doesn't require an expensive bill or putting items on credit.

5 Rs or updating or refreshing your home deocr

1. Reimagine: Getting yourself into a posture of creativity will help you to see potential changes that you may not have seen before.

2. Rearrange: There are NO rules that say where you have your furniture today is where it needs to be shackled for the next fifteen years. Move it around, experiment, play, have fun!

3. Remove & Replace: Basically - shop the house. Try furniture or small accessories in different rooms. Swap out lamps, side tables, textiles in order to refresh another space. And goodness...check your cupboards and storage for forgotten treasures.

4. Rethink: If you have only look at a dresser and say that dresser can only do ONE job...think again! Rethink its purpose (and beauty) by thinking about how it can function in a different space for a different purpose. Example: a lowboy dresser being used as a sideboard in the dining room. Guaranteed, no one else in the neighborhood will be using the same one.

5. Repair: If you have something that you love that feels beyond repair...think again. Fix it, zhuzh it - paint, stain, new knobs, legs, pole wrap, caning, lighting, wallpaper backing...if you can think it, you can do it.
