Bored with your stuff? and Broke?

I TOTALLY understand :) I showed you one way to "amp" up some old clothing (fix up old clothes)
but there are so many other little things you can do to your clothing, furniture, even accessories!
For example, look at an old cardigan, or even an old coat... maybe it has those plastic, generic buttons? Go to your local fabric store and check out their selection and switch them up! OR one thing I've done, is used some leafing paint (makes things look like metal) and painted over them! Actually looks really darn cute and makes the clothing look more expensive ;)
Same for things like cabinets and dresser drawers. Go to the local hardware store, find some cute new handles and switch them out! It's as easy as unscrewing the back and replacing. Super easy. Or, take them off, mount them to a piece of cardboard and spray paint them! 
Do you have all black appliances except for an old yellow fridge? Use some black appliance spray paint (found at any hardware store) and match it up! Tired of a lamp? Switch up the shade OR deck out the shade you already have with some ribbon or fabric or trim or even decoupage! No longer like the look of a chair/bench/couch? Change the pillows or paint it or even get new fabric and re-upholster it!
Spend a little bit of time in your local hardware or craft store and just browse all of the products that are out there today. Its amazing all the cheap little changes you can make that will totally alter the look of your room, clothing, etc...
