Round up a series of pretty frames, remove the art, spray paint them in a unifying color scheme, and arrange them on a wall.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJgatlR1Q5panl7lpjz1YHv67og2Hb-EyBguIIUPV1aFXtSnSIUf8pXdcQ8sBz0XOvdiYv5OaUQm644bCvhBpOmClJktB06_q9KWfkXC4axfyOaHUNyCCKF9dpa5aBvkOpykKfFundXYqc/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Painted Vases : </b>While one paint color is good, two are even better. Add in some glitter and you have a knock-out DIY project. Paint the outside of jars and glass containers with two coats of clay paint. We mixed several shades of pink with white to create a range of hues. For a touch of glam, mask off the top of the jar with painter's tape and cover the bottom with glitter spray paint.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0bUbCC-Io0AL5hUCZcwlkAKeXlL-ZefsVwp-HIaDdEQhKTgqiz68QjnxKbqOtAeQNG_kYxWSmWfIiM1gV4p5K3U7TN0kwCyOvYpQYnLdcmINRomVIt7JoQELzZSkQmEZUnJKj1XcK_dyd/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Be-Ribboned Lampshade : </b>DIY projects don't come any easier than this. Cut ribbons to fit around a lampshade and tie the ends in a knot to secure. For extra stability, secure the ribbons with a few dots of hot glue.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4vCjyacj6Ewy3LZa7R8s6IGM90Zeb-xur5Cv3YHW_eTtBba30if15xBROpmbamgpyheSi9PRX8_XuOZyyzP2yz7HW0Cz55RoHxUtxY-b18as6QTtbAIOCwANL4RrDrjWbYusEadI7LYTX/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lace-Patterned Vase : </b>Try a reversed pattern for something a little different. Wrap a wide scrap of lace around a clear glass vase to create this reversed effect. Use spray adhesive to affix the lace to the glass, then spray the glass evenly with white spray paint. Let it dry, the remove the lace to reveal the see through pattern.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvbPUoeGRwzpAR9JQOHQlYa8xR6Op5Ce6yUyn1PG5HGkdgybbbyRqSLYYA5osZUW23iBVPf-WEXG2WoXIlOPFy2s_URbzjEf4GkRjrjdIX0deUEJJrmtcFRjzzDXJRb2UVF05t-mlnkrL/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Pretty Table Runner : </b>Pink and orange are great for a warm, romantic look.

Draw your doodle on white paper and cut the piece of paper down to size (so that you can lay it over the item you'll be tracing the design onto). Cut a piece of transfer paper slightly larger than the area to be doodled, and tape it to the surface. Tape the pattern over the transfer paper. Using a pencil, firmly trace the pattern lines to transfer the design to the surface. Remove the pattern and the transfer paper. Using a paint pen, trace the lines and let dry. Cure the paint by baking the piece in the oven, following the manufacturer's instructions.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWRfI5rYBnqMwCfmZJzYrr8y7Jam455DAuPJ9ZSPFLy-1X8qq2uz1Yuc4YWq7EVV55vZRtiPNZ4diodxZraDJCDkDsNECh9P3RAbYGP7PNzHjMIDgoQjtzQbTY-I_N-sLMlmVz3YGOOpS5/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Table Skirt : </b>Hide the base of an old side table with a fabric skirt. Cut a piece of fabric to the diameter and height of the table, leaving extra for a hem allowance. Hem the fabric. Use hook-and-eye tape to attach the hemmed fabric to the edge of the table.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj53KVpOTgxRJPsgM2dZK5I99LVou8GKwVAOvsHswr8-W2jJ56biSvUQa7mgAGzML1YJ6p91lEsHy89akpH_gSuqlxr7Pyqt6m4sbgqdj4K5EDDQi6i-Ul-ehU6cIS8eCq9g8CApCczsldT/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Picture Frame to Serving Tray : </b>Reuse an old picture frame as a practical serving tray. Remove the glass of a large frame. Paint the frame in your desired color. Attach drawer pulls to the short sides of the frame. Insert the glass with a piece of pretty fabric or decorative paper behind it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmR2AFtWh4JyubgizcLq2ZHI1GM1EMTzpPjarQoOa_G095YGLnBWJWsJyUfTusyRPcqBR7HsL7ByFuVka6HUDQrAWKZSlN1z_51XzLiLg0MbCibg6lYFE87OehJ3KVCglurWR-GSzWnAI/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Decoupage Design Tabletop : </b>Decoupage a lovely design on a thrift store table. Paint the table with two coats of metallic paint. Cover with metallic glaze for extra shine. Let dry. Cut a scrap of wallpaper to cover the tabletop. Coat the top with decoupage glue. Position the paper, pressing carefully to remove any air bubbles. Cover with multiple layers of glue. Let each coat dry before applying the next. Finish with a spray sealant.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8oW4Xxr6OXWT0Ok1Qb_c6Nt0z-dUW3UATwYQ5zYjbFjiQCmR2sqdxAzZW1imuJVcwR73PLDWoZQvYXuWh8IwM2ZKAwzJreJ2ugXCTijUqPteToP1EGWoknLzuNJwU5ibbveqpPFa-8Jpf/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Fireplace Screen : </b>Create an easy screen to mask your fireplace or any space when it's not in use. This bold geometric print pops in front of the white fireplace and mantel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Here's how to make it:</b> Cut four pieces of 1/2-inch-thick particleboard to your desired size. (The screen's size depends on what you want it to cover. This fireplace is 32 inches wide; the screen is made from four 12x36-inch boards, which came precut from a home improvement store). Use interior latex paint to coat the boards in a color that complements your wallpaper (here, black). Cut strips of wallpaper 2 inches wider and longer than the particleboard. Apply a light layer of spray adhesive to one side of the board and to the back of the wallpaper. Press the adhesive side of the paper onto the adhesive side of the board. Start at the top middle and work your way down, smoothing air bubbles as you go. Wrap the excess around to the back and secure. Repeat for the other boards. Let the boards dry. Use superglue to affix small hinges to connect the boards on the painted side. Move the screen before you start a fire; this screen is for decorative purposes only.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRACjsaj3tNCwCF6x8JJsZyXRDnaCPpZoKMpyyG0fPNyifittmwvfs2s5m2823Xc5m_azgi9pHFkc_8XfkH2AdefeFQlkEmZqXiBQu__bFqzaYs2fJIvfRb2aDkcYTNtJBThMLWC5c0a-b/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Patchwork Shower Curtain : </b>Brighten early mornings with warm colors in a pieced-together shower curtain. Make this uncomplicated project for the bathroom.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL32Fcb4qUABEv3DfAhfOMTDl49rrVKoNJI6yxszH1b05l8B9IodR0UTF9mDPlg32nHPsumqnWAJayt707hUbvMv29Q0SnjriwVNfulthDvuiykQyjIn8YhvZ2R5ZdSzp3GeY9wF5kdVVa/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Floral Stenciled Dresser : </b>Nondescript wood dressers can often be found for rock-bottom prices at garage sales. To give them a dose of character and contemporary style, cover the top in color and embellish the fronts with stencils. Removing drawers in favor of lined and labeled baskets is another easy way to add color and charm.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbBAST4MWtqzi6z4Q98DbrDkNtSTdkJMMhpfsX5DzX49xZv1QAwdUcUBGXHCI1nBTnPKVucO1EYmNwYZGSu0qI2OqiAKaOkWnp0e8UTE_ebr20hyDeb_NOM2SlNWQbrCkPCpdLZ8lUJ5JH/s1600/2014-Fast-and-Easy-Home-Decorating-Projects-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Stylish Hand Towels : </b>Make plain hand towels stylish.

The oat-color burlap also grounds a bold patterned curtain panel.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>How to Make It: </b>Sew or use fabric glue to attach decorative trim to the raw edge of the burlap.

Add style and light at the same time by adding a band of sheer fabric across the top of plain panels.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>How to Make It:</b> Cut across the panel about 1 inch below the top edge. Sew a sheer piece to the 1 inch strip and then reattach the original panel to the bottom of the sheer (shorten the panel as needed to fit your window before sewing the raw edge to the sheer fabric). Use fusible web or fabric glue to apply decorative ribbon over the seams. Tack sheer ribbons to the back of the 1-inch strip and then tie them loosely over the rod.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="532" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZWW_eKVmXSIEIwAf1J1cZkzEX4-3Fw_IoXPKJV4fRuEUDw4p9qQ0kS5wG90Af-O4iJsgEoCvHtlLQoHi8xge2Q9Nc_F7u9iNkBeq0CQ0Ylv2CHIelWUMHgY9g5UWD5fyn-XLWv_TPrHg/s640/Easy-Window-Treatments-Update-2014-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Add Pretty Details </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add fun flair to a plain window shade with a pretty rosette.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>How to Make It:</b> Cut a 4 1/2x48-inch strip of patterned fabric that matches your bedroom decor. Press the strip in half lengthwise, wrong sides facing, and coil the strip into a rosette shape. Hand stitch the rosette to a circle of interfacing.

Light blue linen curtain panels add color and texture to a plain cream color window treatment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>How to Make It:</b> Cut 8 inch wide strips from ready-made linen curtain panels for each curtain. Create frayed edges by carefully pulling threads from the fabric along the sides and bottom. Place the 8 inch strips over the top of the plain panels.

Choose trim in the same color as the panel for subtle drama.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>How to Make It:</b> Measure the width of the curtain panel and cut six sections of fringe in the measured width plus one inch.

2014 Clever Bedroom Makeover from BHG : Before and After

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This bedroom was a real snoozer bland, charmless, and dated. But a budget-smart decorating makeover with paint, fabric, and easy-decorating tricks transforms it into a stylish retreat. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC7eQA6isEDAg-C_LCZmrQj-cfSOLoZFZsU5CoeyQ3Gc7uMcIx7Kf_yvdbtA6VTCspnhwfOz6hKYcnFkr25oOuvgf_gBEPoUMm48PwKZQzvo4279_514QVlADctOYUn_b3XFxkSP7aaE8Y/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">BEFORE: Bland Bedroom </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lacking personality and style, this bedroom was also uninviting and cold. But a budget-friendly makeover provided a fresh outlook.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5QCmbCFq4WxRtxSCZD8vIjFv0mGuOPm5SafKtYaPpy7ZYRyLXbYaZE4qKj9LnLhi_1EJzFMGPctjDIvvpJWXAcYwoIjRiEDYu8ZIBeun2G7bfKo-Lwv9fUcVb_BUVwCAR3sMVgDX9yEis/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">After: Bright and Cozy </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">A palette of cheery yellow, soothing slate blue, and creamy white takes the mood from dreary to dreamy and makes this small bedroom feel light, bright, fresh, and modern.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibuIUVbin0-EQ6zkyCTz0zW06l5eePa4sFRr6H4_Uj6LrKbVVbouEvQr9UI996ZkV2NPhsIx0CgvWsXLlbkBRfdehvT-2yTziv9q-xX-TwrxtquX3CKz77Ty31WJYDm_CpFjMbByC3C_5d/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Customize for Less </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stock kitchen cabinets from IKEA work great as bookshelves and create the look of a built-in for less. Leave off the backs so wall paint shows through -- it makes a small room feel bigger. Score a little extra storage: Use closed kitchen cabinets as nightstands. On the bed, one body pillow packs the same impact as throngs of throw pillows, and wall-mount swing arm lamps turn on function without taking up space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzOmse50nehzl0cWXhtGHjLGUsSmV6F7LyBR4RHhJ-7U-XS0CyPKJAbmLjy0ANnj-so_jUtecJqeERGT-ry8BB0wj25tSP6a3gO8L8eDeINdVFNTvAvRcA14EOnGlet0P7PS2996qa6bau/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Pleasant Surprise </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Line drawers with scrapbook paper for a sunny surprise every time you reach in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbE1uo877e40CGoIZKFQMasqJY_o5KB98c46cSPYqepeJZdYefSUBhC0dYEqBTsCMNoihGukUOzCDbC5QKkPV4pjPdFgSAP7dNXLdX_oebqV9uqT-KlHo9vGVGnhiVdC5hrSdaioy0v-S/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Store in Style </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">A vintage cabinet goes glam when old glass panels are replaced with mirrors.

Mirrors and brass add glimmer to a room that gets little natural light. Creamy white paint on doors and moldings also keeps things bright. Layering curtains over shades gives a luxe look. (We turned the fabric 90 degrees to get a room-stretching horizontal stripe.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcnresujMhOMXnd1A2HndBLTc6N64iMCgyceCgpGmBk7RooQKdhNVoyQGSFgJ139UX7H8IyOSX-lKz1VIoMih60OWUxHWi_TQLq5rXkQnl72LitZzadqSZ4mnlqtJiEy4JkkFqKEuSzSME/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Crowning Glory </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Curtain rods and rings make a modern connection to hand-forged iron hardware on doors throughout the 1930s home.
