Decorating on a Budget

Did you guys watch Nate on Oprah the other day? I thought it was cool to see what he could whip up on a budget. And then I laughed that he had such a hard time. I mean, couldn't most (or a lot) of us be REALLY fabulous decorators on an unlimited budget? But really, it's a lot of fun to see what you can do with a limited budget.

So, I have to lead you guys to one of my FAVORITE decorating blogs: The Lettered Cottage

I love her style but mostly I love seeing what she does on a super limited budget. She is really amazing. Here's a few of my favorite makeovers from her blog:

The $82 fireplace makeover. Totally stunning - makes me wish I had a fireplace to do something like this to:

A ton of before and afters from her cute cottage home. Seriously, she took a TOTALLY blah track home and has turned it into something quite stunning:

And this is my favorite post ever from her {and what inspired this entire post}: $300 cottage bedroom makeover. I truly could not believe my eyes with this one:

Nate Berkus should be really scared because this girl has got some serious talent.
Peek around her blog a bit, I promise you'll be SUPER inspired to do some decorating on a budget.

I have my own little low budget room makeover that I can hopefully share in a few days!
