Thrifty Round-Up: Flowers and freshen ups

I don’t know about you but Spring cleaning brings out the shopper in me and makes me want new stuff to spruce up my home for the summer months. Budgets are tight so I have to contend with thrifty solutions instead… I have been looking to the blogosphere for inspiration.

Jen at Love Chic Living has been sharing her top tips for home repairs on a budget (useful to know!)

Liz at Me and My Shadow has been beautifying her garden (with a ladder and a 50p crock pot!)

Anna at the Imagination Tree has been making art from recycled materials with her kids with these Fruit Box Flowers What better way than children art to jazz up your home on a budget.

And I well I have finally finished my son’s bedroom makeover on a budget. Fancy a look?

It’s short and sweet this week as I am totally full of cold. But hopefully the weather will warm up again very soon and I’ll be feeling sprightly for May. Have a fun month.

Keep thrifty!
