When we moved into our house we had blank white wall after blank white wall. I decided wallpaper was the way to go. I specifically love murals rather than small repeated prints. They are like giant art, although much more affordable than large-scale pieces.

Once or twice a year we hit our local consignment store for kid clothes. My 8-year-old daughter had a growth spurt, so we're on the hunt for some new dresses and rompers. What can we find for $65?

Thrift stores are great too, but what I love about consignment stores is that you can sell your used clothes and use that money to buy clothes in the next size!
