I couldn't wait to get to do my entry today... and share with you my current challenge.
As I mentioned before we are moving into a rental next month on the 17 March, and I really want the apartment to look nice so that the adjustment is not too much of a shock to our system.
But due to lack of funds (still short until my first full paycheck and the house closes) I have created a fun challenge of redecorating without spending ANY money.
My garage is full of DIY stuff that I have accummulated over the years and because we won't have space to store it I either have to use it or turf it.
DD Bedroom: DD desperately wants a pink bedroom (hmmm wonder how long this will last but oh well...)
- found some pale pink paint and am painting the furniture (started the first coat on the bed today)
- linen - into the fabric stash
- cushions - again into the fabric stash and craft cuphoard
Bathroom: found paint that I can use to paint the bathroom tiles (they are blue and black -yuck) so I can paint them white
- accessories - have made bathroom sets using fabric stash
Kitchen - using the same white paint to paint tiles and cuphoards.
- also found some aqua blue and aqua green paint which I will use to contrast some of the tiles
- will make blinds and new dish towels
Will also update debt balances tomorrow or later today...

Sounds like you are very creative with what you've got.

Let us know how painting the tiles go. I am always afraid to do that!

I still love dusty pink.
Yeah, I can be a bit of girly girl.
