How to Save Money on Home Design

How to Save Money on Home Design Rhiannon: Well we’re improving our bodies why not improve our décor, you can give your home a sheek new look without hurthing your wallet. Jeanette Pavini tells us how in today’s Better ways to save. Jeanette: Well if you got an eye for design you can transform your home with furniture and accessories that other people don’t want anymore. Check out your Yellowpages for recycling locations near you that deal with building materials. Stores like this one had unique fixtures, frames and other fun objects that can transform a home and you can find just about everything you’ll need at a steal. Many cities have these stores located adjacent to their land fills and some communities make sure that all materials from home remodels are reused. You can repurpose old objects a framed mere becomes a table top, gold spray paint transforms picture frames and you can find room sized remnants at carpet stores and for very little money you can find used furniture at consignment stores or many times you can negotiate a better price. Also check for stores that sell manufacture seconds for example a door with a minor scratch or a pot with a small chip. Remember there are no warranties on these items so choose your purchases very carefully. Rhiannon: No warranties and often no returns either, thanks Jeanette.
