Everyone feels this way after the holidays, but now is the perfect time as you put away your holiday decorations to give the rooms in your house a refreshing face lift without spending a dime!

  1. Start by picking two rooms in your house
  2. Select a couple of items from each room (could be furniture, but more specifically decorative items; candles, pictures, throw rugs…)
  3. Switch to the other room and try placing in different areas until it looks/feels right.
  4. Even moving items around in the same room can give your existing room a whole new/fresh look

Not only is it fun, but it becomes addicting!  Pretty soon you’ll be swapping items all over your house and you feel GREAT, because you haven’t spend any money and you feel like you have new stuff!

If you have any guys and/or teenagers in your house, it is both fun and interesting to watch them go into different rooms over the next few weeks/months and ask “is this new”? Or “I’ve never seen that picture before”!  When the item has actually been hanging in the family room for the last 2 years!

This really works and thanks for the ideas. I put out some new pics in new frames in different rooms and they were noticed. Cost zero, had the frames put away.
