Beautify Your Home On A Budget

VYotcbooke ~*~ Beautify Your Home On A Budget (NAPSA)—Creating a dream home at your old address is a lot easier with a few designs and decorating ideas that will brighten the room without lightening your wallet. These tips come from experts at Home & Garden Television’s companion Website, HGTV.com, and the HGTV Ideas e-mail newsletter: * Decorating with Seashells: Scout flea markets and tag sales for an item that needs some tender-loving care, then spruce it up with seashells you found on the beach last summer. For Your Little Leaguer: Create a baseball-themed room for your child. Hang old jerseys from the ceiling with dowels and fishing line for the stadium look. Old caps can line windows and an old mitt can be decorated to hold a TV remote control. * Decorate with Old Things Around the House: Use old lunch boxes as bookends in the kitchen. A plumber’s tool box is a great organizer for just about anything—from condiments to desk accessories. Accessorizing with Toys: Fill a wooden train with candy, stuffed animals and whimsical garlands for a fun party centerpiece. Color Therapy: Choose colors for your home to help put you at ease. For example, the color green represents newness, and orange is warminganduplifting. For more design and decorating tips, projects and instructions, visit www.hgtv.com.
