A fabulous frame can be liberated from the ugly picture it houses, and an ugly frame can be painted. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg56gfJvoSd06hpqoEacFcpXVVCbO45ox5TSX-4TvuEM7Y_brDMem5fliCHq0ikjyTFz_Y8eSGHujQmHi4JdWdy4hIpv7WrWtF2VVmnSoIVXQ7KRzVglVU4-tUSgirxcggKqzX3nbFWhI4/s640/Budget-Decorating-Update-2014-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mirrors work wonders in any room. Have one cut to fit a tabletop or an extra large picture frame (which usually costs less than buying a big mirror). </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitOCpHud7ordujkzyck89XwYKKtTmsca0kVebXOWhDYsliMbf15kOC2aJdqmoUFo-jfIIGp-z6K0zWejqE3jW05AvH52rIdGARrFoaOJwxEowYJ3u9GpBNSsEyfTyGwJj0-fPKKo20T0Q/s640/Budget-Decorating-Update-2014-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I always say pillows make the room! Buy 1 yard of a great fabric, and take it to a dry cleaner who offers alterations.

A simple kit costs about $10. Almost anything you can drill a hole through can be a lamp base.

In the fall, when you'll be spending more time indoors, it's important to carve out a corner for yourself. Maybe it's a tabletop in the corner of your living room or in your bedroom. Fill a bulletin board with images of things you love: photos and mementos from trips, ticket stubs from a great show, cherished letters. Small collections of shells, rocks, and candles are simple things that are good for your soul.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Stephen Saint-Onge, New York City.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6SzPRtGzBHxlWzgMACixcpraLQYIRBoNJ-BPr06mNXIx7uvLztHzLRNVSTuIyon0KivxkCGAS5YuA6LYjkY0gTglqwGOBm_itoaBDbzr2Gh7NtTMDzBW6jBjPaBjTQu62KtPpAqq/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Add a Layer of Texture</span> </b></span></div><br />Anything with texture adds dimension.

The fabric softens the room and adds glamour.<i> </i><br /><i>Designer Erinn Valencich, Los Angeles.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMw_P8SYktjkjVd3swf08Cs2p3g4fNxuWY6lki5p_q8OvGoOoz4O2akDV7lKpnyyuZzHJBWEG4tirxX4Zvx9-B1UDLB_urvsUfSSi-b4sEFjnIKx8eDw6oJWdPkZ01z4L0aK2QV4hU/s640/Add-Seasonal-Warmth-easy-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Think Accessories</span> </b></span></div><br />It's all in the accessories.

(If the platter has a central oval edge, you have a built-in guideline.) Use a steady hand and a small brush to stroke chalkboard paint inside the edges of the guideline. Roll the center with chalkboard paint using a small smooth-surface foam roller.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSVZ8itNjk7uUwJ5L1i-RwMA9aD44b9yUSYiiITIy4rtKfXowM7kBpuGNLVyoAbjpHTsmGZ-Fwce54yb7pcf2SV6YAUk5GjqzOJiDzeLh28pzThD8HD_aW_B5i_bmmB72K9WB6yg8a/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Vanity Lesson</span></b></span></div><br />Turn an old medicine cabinet into a sweet spot for lists and notes. First, remove the mirror or inner panel. (If you can't remove the mirror or panel, cute a piece of chipboard to fit.) Paint the mirror or your chipboard piece with two coats of chalkboard paint, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Tip: If you use a mirror, prime the surface first. Pop the mirror back in, or use Krazy Glue to secure the chipboard cutout in place. Use chalk to spell out the day's duties.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkXSByOzkqc-e5Bc6SGlwdDUDQnfu4jUwklwOJn8_GTv5pUpF3TRmMaTovU4F5rCKfJZXXPiZ8gYQlN5YGmaQpZqbAWG40rzN5GH9TPOwhA50qOySE3eQ-1t8Ir3_L34xSHZJkBHwl/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Scheduling Pains</span></b></span></div><br />Transform a six-panel window into a home office calendar to ease your planning pains. Each day of the workweek is assigned a frame, and the sixth makes room for extra notes or magnets. Tape off the wooden frame with painter's tape. To make your calendar magnetic, spray several coats of magnetic spray paint on the front of the glass, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Then paint each pane with chalkboard paint using a paintbrush to edge and a small foam roller for smooth surfaces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUIGFqamj579VDcZWoJCgjX_DIKoZsxwybMWCzatDy_bDwJ7GRa7eDWdzXxQgfF4-wgQ16LLw_30R9BPiVGpGWY-m30E884QpaW6appWIm_Q9HT4Dro70qydoe2yLhJmnzNtKc3Ti6/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clever Containers</span></b></span></div><br />Add a little erasable oomph to your kitchen canisters with repositionable vinyl stickers that accept chalk marks (check <i>dickblick.com</i> and <i>wallies.com</i> for colorful options). Use a punch to cut out the labels. Remove the paper backing and position the label on the glass or wooden canister. The labels are easy to rechalk as you change their contents.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfV5F1eoWYP4wPqsTtjUKxUK6aY9Gv2iKumTyNLeVY8I2l8hznVm-DMb-I0AlArZKwQGe77DofValtbpC82vtvd1ZtyLqgqP_10fu_aPU7Dz2TMGTFuAm-BTuTgwcJlXgOtCr4x84P/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Mix it Up</span></b></span></div><br />You can find chalkboard paint at almost any crafts or art store or home center. But if you're longing for a hue that's not available on store shelves, concoct your own. To create your own custom color of chalk-ready paint, simply combine 1 cup latex paint in your desired shade with 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Use a paint stirrer to mix. During application, gently sand the dry layers of paint between coats with 150-grit sandpaper. Apply several coats for best color.
