Little Changes, Low Cost, Big Impact

I'm amazed at how little changes (for a little money) can make such a big impact on your home. It just takes a little patience, some creativity, and resourcefulness! Here are two examples from our little place:

Little changes: New paint color (Benjamin Moore's Quiet Moments), LOVE Sign, yellow stool, and some pillows that I made with napkins from World Market. 

Cost: Around 5 dollars for the cost of the stool and paint. I got the napkins for free with a ten dollar coupon from World Market. Did you know that if you sign up with them they send you ten bucks for your birthday? I made the sign with free stuff. 

Impact: From simple (and a little boring) to sunny and fun!

Little changes: New paint color (same as above), jute rug, black mirror

Cost: I had the mirror from my college years (I think I paid around three dollars for it!). The jute rug from TJ Maxx was $15.00 (a steal!), but I used a gift card and got it for free. Not too bad!

Impact: From dark and green to bright and light!

Does anyone else have any little changes, low cost, big impact spaces in your home?

If so, send me a link or an e-mail-- I'd love to show it off!
