Decorating On The Cheap

Tweet

I have been looking for a new comforter set for my king size bed for months. The set that I have came with the bed when I inherited it back in 2015 and I knew it was about two years old then but its expensive and made to last, my problem is that its a dry clean only comforter and its time for me to change up. I have checked the cheaper stores and their new summer stock are in but all of them are still priced around $80 for a king size. The winter clearance is around $50 and I did not want any dark winter colors that were offered. A tenant sent me to one of the new stores in town that I have not been into, they have been there for less than a year, "Roses" is the name, but that was for something Tony had been wanting. When I got there I noticed how cheap the prices were, same merchandise as walmart and a couple other of the cheap stores. I seen comforters so I took a look, WOW! the prices are cheap, I seen a pattern that I liked and I bought an 8 piece set for ..... drum roll, $29.99! The set includes the king size comforter, two shams, bed skirt and a set of sheets with pillow cases! And the best part for me its machine washable so I don`t have to pay $30 to $50 to have it dry cleaned. Wait, I am not finished...... The curtains. The curtains I had with the other comforter were a golden tan color, I say golden because to me there was a hint of gold (yellow) that matched the trim and part of the design of the old conforter. Even with the new one I could use the same curtains because the pattern is gold and gray on a white background. And then I was at Walmart yesterday, getting tires. I looked over at the curtain area and .... Yes I did! I bought two sets of curtains, not black outs but one step before black outs, they are gray but the price is the best part, $9.98 for each set! Usually I pay $10 per panel or I make my own for about $10 per panel. So, I got new bedroom decor for $50! It does pay to look around and not just buy at one place. Next is a $10 gallon of white paint for this room. Hmm, I am wondering if I can find new lamps After all I am still under budget of the original price for just the comforter! Can you decorate something and it does not look cheap?
