Here at The Hazel Bloom, decorating, crafts, creating, and collecting all go together. I especially love using a little elbow grease - and a lot of creativity - to turn thrift store and garage sale finds into terrific pieces to decorate and furnish. Not only is it a blast to turn trash into treasure, as they say - I also save a ton of money.
Decorating on a Dollar
Sorry HGTV, you don't find much for just a dime these days. A couple dollars, on the other hand, can get you far!
With a little paint, some clearance and thrift store finds, and our own photography as art, we turned our boring, all-white downstairs bathroom/powder room into a warm, elegant room for well under $100.
