What a dream come true (a dream I didn’t even know I had!) Better Homes and Gardens Magazine asked for my decorating tips for $50 or less and they used some in July’s issue, and some on the web. Here are some from bhg(dot)com:
(please note the the designs are not mine–just the ideas! I sure love the kitchen below, though)
Open Cabinetry for Less
Love the look of open shelving but not able to rip out cabinets? Remove the doors, then paint orwallpaper the backs of the cabinets with a contrasting color.

Refresh Your Furniture
A matching bedroom ensemble can be boring, but it’s usually the less-expensive route. So go ahead and match, then add your personal touch by painting the bed or one piece of the furniture. I made my matched set seem more my own by painting the bed with a semigloss oil-based white paint. I changed the look of the nightstands, too, with clearance knobs.
– Julie Holloway
A Colorful Welcome
You only live once, so pick a bold door color andpaint it with a semigloss or glossy paint. A must in my book: Paint both the front and the back of the door so it?s beautiful on both sides.
