Frugal Friday: Decorating Edition

Frugal Friday—Almost free decorating ideas!

When we moved last year from WA to CA we determined it was more expensive to move all our things than it was to sell them and purchase new when we bought another house. To make a long story short, we sold almost everything and wound up using all the money we earned on our down payment for our new house. So I found myself with a 2500 sq ft house and no furniture and zero budget.

So here is an example of how you can decorate your home without spending a fortune.

This is our guest room- we had a bed with a cheap metal frame and that was it. Here is how I decorated the entire room for less than $15:

I had a Pottery Barn Parson chair that we used to have in our office. I sold the chair on Craigslist for $40 and used that to buy new things for the room.

New Bedding- Coverlet $20 on clearance at Home Goods, White Sheets $8 on clearance at Home Goods. We bought new pillows for our bedroom and our old pillows are in the guest room.


Paint- Purchased oops paint at Home Depot for $5/can. Color is a neutral tan that would match almost anything.

Side Tables- Purchased the white table at Target on clearance for $11. Painted an IKEA table we used to have in our entry way with the oops paint for the other side.

“Headboard”- I wanted to make a nice fabric headboard but it was too expensive. Instead I used an old mirror we had used in our old master bedroom closet. I painted the trim a crisp white. I used white paint the prior homeowner had left in our garage.

TV Stand- I made this hope chest in woodshop when I was 16 years old. It has been dragged around with me for years and I painted it the same white as the trim.
(We just loaned a TV to a family member that needed it- we are using a tiny TV that we have had for years in the interim).

Other: The lamp we had but I needed to get a new lamp shade- I finally found one for $6 at HomeGoods. The drapes we also had but I purchased the curtain rod on clearance at Kmart for $3. One either side of the closet doors there are candle holder/sconces. I cut a photo out of a magazine and had my husband make them with leftover MDF. I painted them white. The other accessories we already had.

My favorite of all is the gorgeous wingback chair. We looked for a new dining room table for about 6 months on Craigslist, yard sales, retail sales etc.. I finally found a mahogany table from a model home someone purchased. They didn’t need the table and it was brand new and in excellent condition. The table came with 6 chairs but the designer had also chosen two wingback chairs as Captain’s chairs for the table. We got lucky and scored the table for $350 and they gave us the wingback chairs free. The table is easily worth $1500 but the owner wanted it out quickly and had taken terrible photos of it. We had cash and they gave us a great price.

So there it is- I spent $53 total but sold something for $40 to offset the cost. Our total oop expense to decorate the whole room was $13.

Safeway store coupon

I thought I’d share a special Safeway coupon that can be used on a variety of items. These coupons are often found in stores that are just opening, reopening, or holding some sort of event. Every so often they have little tables in stores with free samples of products. The product is usually a Safeway product- such as their Vitamin Water- and the person will have these coupons as an incentive to get you to buy.

I recently found a table that the person had completely cleared and they had left an entire tearpad of these coupons. I took several as they often last through the end of the year. If you happen upon them at your store grab as many as possible. You can only use one per transaction but you will find countless items that are free or nearly free with these coupons. This week I am using mine to get the Safeway croutons that are part of the mix and match promo. The croutons will be free. I also have gotten cans of beans, produce, beverages and tons of other items for great prices by holding onto these coupons.

It is always worth while to pop into a store that has a grand reopening or opening sign as they usually have tons of sample booths, special store coupons, an ad featuring special pricing and so much more. These coupons are not specific to the store you find them in.

New Coupon in the toolbar.

Click on the toolbar to the right to print the .75/1 Kernel Season’s Popcorn Seasoning. There are several flavors from Barbeque to Ranch to jazz up your popcorn. I have purchased these for $1.49-1.99 at Kmart and Walmart. If your Kmart allows IP coupons you can probably get two for free (or nearly free).

Today is the Home Depot class for ladies- attend the class, learn how to tile, and get a free $10 gift card. I plan to go as the class is only 1 hour and we are really hoping to tile our bathrooms and kitchen this year.

Sign up by clicking the Home Depot box on the right and make sure to TIVO Grey’s Anatomy. You will need a photo and rendering of whatever you hope to tile- I am looking forward to getting an accurate assessment of the scope and cost of our projects. Home Depot promises to show you tips to get the most bang out of your buck.
