Greetings from Budget Decor at BellaOnline.com!

I hope you are having a great summer. Among other things, I've been busy the last few weeks transforming my son's room into a spiderman theme. The most intersting part is a faux cinderblock wall that we painted in his window nook to give the impression of a city building. That brings me to my latest 2 articles that I hope inspire you with ideas to create fun rooms for your kids and to learn DIY skills to create the look and feel you'd like in your home.

Creating Rooms for Kids to Grow Into
Creating a room for a child to grow into is an important consideration when you are decorating on a budget. Most kids are ready for a change from their nursery decor by the time they are 5 years old.

Learn DIY Skills to Decorate Your Home
One of the easiest ways decorate on a budget is to do things yourself. Labor is the most expensive part of decorating, because you are paying for someone else’s skill and time. If you learn skills yourself, then you’ll be able to tackle many projects on your own.
