Decorat-e-nomics

Economical. That’s how I would best describe my decorating budget. And I think it sounds sooooo much better than cheapo or tightwad.  Why spend a million bucks if I don't have to?!?!  Let's just overlook the small detail that I don't have a million bucks.  But if I did...hello Jeff Lewis I have a job for you...and can you bring Zoila along?  We really love her!  Ooooo...and bring the fluffy cat too 'cause he's really cute!

In the meantime...I'll just continue being "conservative with my resources."  Which really means = acquire free stuff and spray paint it black.  Works every time!
