Thanks, Dollface! (Hee, that was fun to type!)

It's so easy to just spend spend spend while decorating because the home is so personal, you know? I love seeing creative little touches and innovative uses of otherwise ordinary objects. I use my old steamer trunk as a kitchen table!

I'll definitely give threadbanger a look, thanks so much for the link!

Great post! When decorating my apartment, having a budget is pretty important. This post has inspired me to try to be more creative with what I have already (and maybe make a few more cheap purchases).

I just heard that Threadbanger.com has a new video series with tips to DIY decorate your apartment on the cheap. It's worth checking out!

hopefully i'll be moving out by the end of the year, & we'll be decorating on a pretty tight budget [depending on our jobs]. we don't need to buy much right away; we've got a bed, couches, some furniture. . . there isn't much we need to buy, just a kitchen table & whatnot, & i have a lot of cookware & crap that people gave me when i graduated from high school [i was like "whoa! wait a minute! i'm not moving out into my own place anytime soon, i don't need this stuff yet!" but, now it'll come in handy when i move out]

luckily i have lots of artsy stuff that we can hang all over the place to take up empty space on the walls [my paintings plus the ones i've done i've done for andy & my photos & whatnot].

i just hope everything gets straightened out soon so we can both get out of our crappy living situations & have a place of our own that will actually feel like home. neither of us can stand it much longer :\
