			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There aren&#8217;t enough hours in a day or enough days in a weekend.  It is Monday already and time to talk about &#8220;Things I Like&#8221;.  One of my favorite things is decorating and redecorating the home we live in now and the home we will one day have.  All of this decorating is completely imaginary &#8230; I do it in my daydreams as I flip through the pages of a magazine or click through pages on the internet or walk through the streets of my neighborhood, drawing inspiration from beautiful things I see.  Money is no object in my make-believe design frenzy, but in reality I have a budget and can&#8217;t afford to buy new furniture and fixtures every month.  Instead, I have come up with <strong>a few low-cost ways to breathe some new life and color into any home</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-151"></span></p>
<p><strong>Pillows</strong>.  Better yet, <strong>pillow covers</strong>.  Just zip them over your existing throw pillows on your sofa or bed and give the room an instant color makeover.  Buying [or making] just the covers saves you from trying to find somewhere to store the pillows you aren&#8217;t using and makes it so easy to change things up anytime.</p>
<p>Try these colorful covers from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5279310" target="_blank"><strong>Meringue Designs</strong></a> in Provo, Utah.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-152" title="sorbetlinen" src="http://furiousshirley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sorbetlinen-300x253.jpg" alt="sorbetlinen" width="358" height="301" /></p>
<p><strong>Lampshades</strong>.  We just purchased two new shades for the bedroom this weekend.  Want to DIY some new shades?  Check out this great article from <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/roundup/roundup-revamping-your-lampshades-083909" target="_blank"><strong>Apartment Therapy</strong> on &#8220;<em><strong>Revamping Your Lampshades</strong></em>&#8220;</a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-153" title="lampshades" src="http://furiousshirley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/lampshades-300x300.jpg" alt="lampshades" width="353" height="353" /></p>
<p>You can also change up a room by putting up <strong>new window treatments</strong>, or adding an accent wall with a <strong>bold paint color</strong> or <strong>interesting wallpaper pattern</strong> [later in the week, I'll be talking more in depth about custom wallpaper]. <strong> </strong></p>
<p>You can <strong>refashion your bedroom in a snap</strong> with a new duvet cover.  There are loads of selections at <a href="http://www.thecompanystore.com/dept/Comforters/3100/dept.asp?dept_id=3007" target="_blank"><strong>The Company Store </strong></a>and they even have some great eco-friendly choices.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-164" title="duvetprint" src="http://furiousshirley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/duvetprint.jpg" alt="duvetprint" width="394" height="396" /></p>
<p>And for the kitchen, I came across these super cool <strong>chalkboard panels for your cupboards</strong> at <a href="http://www.wallies.com/item/W16004.htm?tab=chalkboard&amp;page=1" target="_blank"><strong>Wallies</strong></a>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-169" title="chalkcupboard" src="http://furiousshirley.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/chalkcupboard.jpg" alt="chalkcupboard" width="280" height="360" /></p>
<p>And yet <strong>one more way to refresh the look of your home </strong>is to gather up all of your knick knacks and accent pieces and re-disperse them!  Thanks for reading!  Come back tomorrow for posts &#8220;All About the Babers&#8221;.  XO</p>
