Easy updates without braking the bank!












Endtables the forgotten furniture....It is amazing to see what a lift new endtables will give to a room. The endtables pictured above in unique shapes and unexpected materials everything from resin to handcarved marble are from our own Pearl district store JD Madison



Replace your lamps. Lamps are like sculptures or pieces of art. Look for lamps to add colorful accents to your room. Gravitate towards interesting shapes...find something out of the norm. If you don't like the shade replace it at a lamp store...they have all kinds of shapes and colors and textural materials.
Re-upholster a favorite chair. Look up an upholstery school in your area and get a bid.Re frame some art.
You will be surprised to see what a new mat and frame will do for an art piece it can be like a breath of fresh air. There are many do-it-yourself framing shops to keep prices down.


Don't forget to sell your replaced items on Craig's list, give them to the Goodwill or give them away on freecycle.com

Re Paint a room. Paint color will give you the biggest bang for your buck. It may take some elbow grease to complete the job ...but oh what a difference a new paint color will make!
