Seasonal Décor on the Cheap

Seasonal on the Cheap

Determined to live in the artsy part of downtown Indianapolis, I was forced to make some tradeoffs to meet my 20-something budget. Things like cable TV got replaced with a rabbit ear antenna, and my all-access gym membership was traded in for the stairs.

But one of the areas I hate to sacrifice is décor. I’m pretty proud of my ability to make a goodwill find of a coveted piece. But decorating for the seasons has always been one of my financial pitfalls. I love when the weather changes in Indiana and my ability to decorate for the seasons is something rooted in more than just furniture and fabric. Decorating makes me feel at home. And while I’m “living the dream” in my city apartment, it does have the tendency to feel cold without a decorative touch.

So, this fall, I set out with the mission to make my place a seasonal mecca.

After researching ideas on sites like PlanItDIY, Pinterest and YouTube, I deduced that I could carry my décor through the change of seasons with a few simple purchases–three inexpensive glass tumblers and a wicker basket.

Using these items, I created an “everyday” look for the spring and summer months.

Then, when the gourds started to appear around town, I picked up an inexpensive bunch to add a fall touch using the same wicker basket. I also placed scented pinecones in tumblers. It’s amazing how differed a brightly colored table runner can make the space feel.
