College Shabby to Sophisticated Adult

Shabby, worn, "hand-me-down" furniture is the typical scene starting out on your own.  Houston's Design Resource had some tips on turn your place into sophisticated and pulled together.  

Don't spend all your money on buying a house.  Furnishings and window coverings can cost a pretty penny.

To get the most bang for your buck use paint.



Slowly build up your house with a few investment pieces a year.

Never underestimate the power of yard sale, antique stores, estate sales and some good old elbow grease. 

Art work can be expensive so be creative...frame vintage posters, visit auctions, or paint your own.


Framing old rulers is a good way to add character to your home!

The table looks great! I would paint most of my furniture if it wasn't for my hsabund ... he likes the wood left natural. Oh well. :) I love your linen and lace collection! That's one of my passions too but I haven't bought any new ones for awhile due to lack of funds. I don't even mind the ironing either! Love, love, love your ironing board cover AND those gorgeous eggs!
