     Decorate your home with second-hand furniture. Ask friends and family if they have items they are not using. Take advantage of consignment resale shops, flea markets, yard sales and Craigslist. You may find something fabulous for a few dollars. Also, be sure to check freecycle, where you may be able to get something free. Perhaps it will need some paint, or maybe not. It might be perfect just as it is!

     Think outside the frame for cheap wall decor. Do not limit yourself to something that will fit into a frame. Rugs, quilts, beautiful scarves, saris, shawls, hats, dishes, children's clothing can all become wall art.
