Having a beautiful home adds a little joy to each day, and I want to share that with you. Every week the budget decorating site will be restocked with fresh tips, tricks and advice for making your home beautiful without breaking the bank. I'll also include news from the Bella Online site and whatever little tidbits of information that inspires me.

To sign up, look to the right of this article. You’ll see a box labeled Free Newsletter. Just type in your email address and you’re done. We're not going to send you to screen after screen to keep adding more information. (Don't you hate it when that happens?) We're not going to give your information away, or rent it, sell it or even share it. In fact, our programmers have created such a safe and secure program that I will never even see your email address myself, unless it bounces back to me. You can unsubscribe at any time, and you can forward it to friends and family. Especially when they ask "Where did you get that idea?"

Once you sign up, you’ll receive a confirmation notice. This just lets you know if your spam filter is letting us through. If you don’t get one, you’ll want to white list us. That just means you need to add us to your filter system or address book, so it doesn't end up in your junk mail box. If your email requires someone to go in and confirm their identity in order to email you, please have it set up in advance so that you can accept mail from Bella Online. You won’t receive anything you didn’t sign up for— no newsletters from other editors, no ads, nothing but my newsletter and any others you choose to subscribe to.

Budget Decor is here so that you can learn how to create special places throughout your home to reflect your style without spending a fortune. Inexpensive decorating is sensible, stylish, trendy, eclectic, contemporary, funky, unique and perfect for you.

I have six daughters and a minor obsession with redecorating. I'll be featuring photos, product reviews, resources, projects and advice for every room in the house.

I hope you also get a chance to visit our forums and share your decorating finds. Who knows, I might even use one of your ideas in my home (because great minds think alike!)

So sign up for the newsletter today and let's get started! If you know of any friends or family that would enjoy these ideas, you're more than welcome to share the newsletter and the site. The more, the merrier!
