If you have some ideas to share, please be sure to see the form below."I have recently set up two of my children in apartments as they are both enrolled in colleges. The first thing we did was visit a Goodwill Store. We found common everyday things and put them to a 'new' use. For example, we found an abandoned gold fireplace log holder for $2.00. My son rolled all of his 'nicer' bath towels up and placed them in the log holder and displayed them in his bathroom. My daughter bought a large storage jar for $1.00 and went to Walmart and bought a huge bag of assorted candy and put the candy in the green storage jar and set it on her bar. It looks really cute."

"The BEST decorated room I've seen recently was furnished with items from a flea market. The most unique pieces were these flat wooden headboards (like the ones bolted to the wall in a hotel room). They were turned upside down with the decorative top facing downward and used as an extravagant molding on the top of the wall all around the room. It was truly breathtaking and it added prestige to the room."

If you google, promo codes, you should find lots of places to grab the required link or code to your favorite merchant."
