Decorate on a Budget!

Who has an endless budget for decorating? I know I don't and if you don't either, perhaps you will find this post inspiring. Garage/yard/estate sales - here we come!!!

So I got to decorate our guest room anyway I wanted, and I knew I was going all out girly! I love Mary Englebreit, so that was my inspiration. I had a few pieces that I had received as gifts (free) and went from there! See below my great finds:

Green desk/vanity - sofa table purchased for $8.00, paint $.50! The chair was $5.00 and the clock I found on clearance at Target for $3.00. Curtains free from mother-in-law, pictures $5.00 for both.
TOTAL: $21.50!
