Redecorate A Room Without Breaking The Bank

Denver | September 19, 2020August 12, 2021

Since I started blogging, one of the areas where I have been the most inspired is home design. I love the way furniture, color, patterns and eclectic pieces can come together to make the most beautiful room. I always thought that rooms needed to be pretty matchy-matchy to look good, but my eyes have really been opened by interior design blogs. We are planning to move in the next 6 months, so lately I have been paying attention to rooms that I love so that I can remember them as I plan what our next house will look like. I know that I want it to have color and simplicity while still maintaining a home-y feel.

In the meantime, while we are still living in our current house I wanted to incorporate a few of my favorite design trends. We can’t afford to do anything major right now since we aren’t planning to live here long-term, but by adding a few things here and there we can change the look of a room at a decent price!

Using the above picture, let’s look at a few quick things you can do to change a room.

Framed Wallpaper – $44.98

This is a newer trend that has become popular recently for several reasons. First of all, it’s a lot cheaper than nice framed artwork. It’s also pretty simple: find some wallpaper that you love and put it in a frame. The picture above shows a pretty large piece, but you can also do several smaller frames of wallpaper and make a gallery wall. The nice thing is that you can customize it as much as you want and switch it easily any time that you need a change!

Flowers – $19.99

Fresh flowers not only add pops of color to a room; they smell amazing, too! Flowers placed around a room can really add to the design of the room by bringing the color scheme together and adding visual interest to a room. If you aren’t into fresh flowers or think they’ll cost too much long-term, artificial flowers can be just as pretty and they last a lot longer. Try to use flowers in contrasting colors from the furniture and accents in the room so that they will really pop!

Chandelier – $250

Okay, so this one seems a little pricier, but a change in the lighting fixture can drastically change the mood and design of a room. It’s definitely worth the splurge. A chandelier makes everything look modern and put together. It’s also a major piece of eye candy in the room and really draws the eye upward. It doesn’t have to be super fancy and made of crystal. I found an antler chandelier that my husband would just love. Remind me not to show him…I don’t really want that in my house! : ) Try to find coupons to help lower the price.

Colorful Pillows – $29.99

This is the easiest one of all to do. Buy a few new pillows and the room will be completely transformed before your eyes. The key is to look for pillows in bright colors or with unique patterns. They don’t all have to match, just make sure they bring together colors in the room! The picture above has 4 different colors of pillows, yet they all work together to complete the look and feel of the room. My favorite pillows right now are the chevron pattern. I just can’t get enough of them!

Those are just a few less-expensive ways to design a room. These have been great for us in our home. Since we are planning to move, we don’t want to put a lot of money back into the house by redoing floors or painting walls. Artwork and pillows have really helped us to add color and interest to our rooms.

Look Dapper Like George Clooney

Denver | September 19, 2020August 12, 2021

George Clooney. The man that women swoon over and the great man with style that men wish they could replicate. The good news is that George’s style is actually quite simple. He sticks with neutral colors that match his salt and pepper hair. You see, it is possible to look rugged and dapper like Clooney.

With all of the hype of The Decendants, The Ides of March, and Up In The Air, it’s easy to see why everyone wants Clooney’s style and charm. I first fell for his charm while watching ER. I was pretty excited to see him jump over to the big screen and star in a romantic comedy with Michelle Pfeiffer on One Fine Day. He’s also been in several other films that I need to put on my Netflix list.

What do you think of Clooney? Do you like his style? He may seem like a complicated man, especially since he jumps around to so many different lady loves (even though I happen to like Stacy Keibler quite a bit), but in reality George is quite a simple guy. He likes to enjoy life and his choice of apparel definitely shows it.

You’ll most often see George in a classy tuxedo, a black tee-shirt and jeans, or something similar. Like I said, he very much likes to match his apparel to his attractive salt and pepper hair. Here are a few pieces of clothing that will make the guys (yes, you guys!) look like Clooney in no time.

Men’s Tee Shirt Long Sleeve by Dickies in Black – $13-$17

Simple and black, this long sleeve shirt is great to stay warm during the winter but handsome enough to wear in the spring too. Don’t worry about this shirt shrinking because it’s already made out of preshrunk cotton. The heavyweight cotton material will keep you comfy and collected.

I sense a cool Clooney look already!

Sears Coupons

Hanes Cool Dri Tagless Tee Shirt – 3 Pack – $42.95

Another great tee-shirt to consider is a soft and durable Hanes tee-shirt. This tee comes all set for you to wear with its contemporary fit and tag-free label. It is made out of a 100% preshrunk jersey-knit polyester fabric too! This type of fabric is great for a workout because it keeps away moisture or gets rid of it as you work out at the gym.

ShoeBuy.com Coupons

7 For All Mankind AUSTYN Relaxed Straight Jeans – $189

Yes, 7 Jeans are just a tad bit spendy, but they come at a price because they are so stylish! This happens to be my dad’s favorite pair of jeans – yes, you read that correctly! I have no doubt that Clooney also loves jeans like these too.

The relaxed fit jeans run true to size and have a straight fit. Look handsome and rugged wearing a great pair of jeans with a black or white tee and head out on a date with your significant other.

7 Jeans don’t stop with one single color or style, either. Find them in white, a standard straight leg and more!

Piperlime Coupons

Calvin Klein Suit – $650

This post wouldn’t be truly Clooney if I didn’t mention a dapper tuxedo! I happen to love this tux from Macy’s because it’s simple, handsome and very classy. Plus it’s by Calvin Klein!

If you’re looking for separates that might be more affordable, Clavin Klein has pants and tops at an affordable price. Find a great suit for your wedding, your friend’s wedding, or maybe just to take your sweetie out for Valentine’s Day! Now wouldn’t that be a nice surprise?! The hopeless romantic in me would love it if my boyfriend showed up in a tux with flowers! I can picture George taking Stacy out in a dapper suit just like this one!

20 Stores With No Sales Tax

Denver | September 19, 2020August 12, 2021

When you’re shopping online, you often account for things like shipping and handling fees. But sales tax can sometimes take you by surprise, adding as much as an additional 9% to your purchase price. Unfortunately, online stores are forced to tack on these taxes if they have a physical location (like a brick and mortar store or shipping warehouse) that operates in your state.

Although coupon codes and special discounts can’t be applied to sales taxes, there’s still a way to save. In many cases, most stores only apply sales tax to a handful of states. And, believe it or not, there are some stores that don’t charge any sales tax at all. In our list below, we’ve gathered up 20 different online stores that don’t charge a penny for sales tax. Even better, many of these stores also offer additional shopping perks, like free shipping and/or free returns!
