Great ideas, especially the bedazzling of the chandy. I am a brand new first time renter trying desperately to decorate on a budget…please stop by my blog and check out my ideas…would love an expert’s feedback!

I’ve been a renter for several years, and have utilized a few methods to keep from boredom in blah beige. Since I need the blinds for privacy and controlling temperature, I have several pairs of inexpensive window panels in a variety of colors. I switch these out with seasons, for instance, golden hue panels in the living room allow for light, and warm the room with the setting sun. An assortment of area rugs provides color for the bedroom and living room. Slipcovers, some purchased, some hand sewn, refresh the sofa; while discounted quilts are an easy change for my bed. Boring bathrooms get a new look with a change of towels, shower curtains, and area rugs. And my wall art is never the same since I prefer framed posters, and store the extra prints under the sofa. Finally, I rearrange or re-purpose furniture by using a bookshelf in a bedroom, then move to the living room, or even as storage in the kitchen or bathroom.

Hobby Lobby sells magnetic chandelier crystals…I’ve used the pink ones in my daughter’s room and large ones in my breakfast room to dress up the builder’s choice of chandelier. I’ve also thought about using Christmas ornaments to really make them stand out. I love bling!

Okay. Sorry for the delayed response, awesome gals. It took me a while to remember what it was, but I found the direct link!

It’s Waverly Olana Bayleaf. Also, if you order from fabric.com check retailmenot.com for their coupons! Hope that helps! ;}

In reply to Kisha H. Hi Kisha! It shouldn't too tricky...but it all depends on what kind of a computer and printer you have. If it were me, Instagram always saves the photo to your photo store after you take it, and I would either email that photo to myself, or plug in my phone and import it. Save them to a folder, and print! You can resize to a 4 x 4 ish size, in your printer settings, or in something like photoshop. That's what i always use. Somewhere like costco is even easier, because you upload to your computer, and then to their website. You can select your size there. I hope that helps...I know it's vague but instructions are a little tricky because each home/computer/printer set up is so different! Here's the specific post, here!

Hi,
I’m a new mom and take a picture of my lil guy everyday
using my iPhone and when I saw your picture collage I got
so excited :). Could you give me instructions on how to
print one for my home? Great job on the Nate B. show.
Thx in advance,
Kisha
