How to Decorate For Less and Eventually For Free You think, "I don't have enough money" or "I can't afford a room like that." You want to create a comfortable, beautiful home, but you don't believe it's within your reach. The truth is decorating is expensive and frustrating when you:
- Try to keep up with the latest trends.
- Buy home decor you don't love (even if you get amazing deals).
- Feel the need to replace your decor every season or even every few years.
Imagine not feeling rushed to finish your home. Imagine enjoying your home in progress.With a different approach to decorating you can:
- Surround yourself with decor you love (no matter your budget).
- Find things you want to keep and never want to replace.
- Save money by passing on "disposable decor" and confidently buy decor you'll enjoy for years to come.
This approach isn't about penny-pinching, finding cheap deals, or dumpster diving (unless that's what you're into). Free Decorating is a strategy to
1) Free yourself from the tug to constantly replace and redo your spaces, and 2) Build a decor collection that allows you to reuse and re-decorate without spending money. It's time to shop smarter, save your money, and most importantly, love your home decor (well past the return date on the receipt).

When she's not "helping other mommies decorate," as her boys describe her work, you can find Jackie life-hacking and experimenting in her home, reading non-fiction books, and spending family time with her husband, two boys, and two border collies.
