I love decorating, but it can be tough to come up with ideas to update your home on a budget. So lately I’ve turned to the Internet in search of inspiration. I’ve discovered some great blogs that focus on decorating frugally, as well as crafts (Hello Christmas!), household tips and DIY projects. Spend a little time exploring them, and I’m sure you’ll find something that will motivate a new project.

Makeandtakes.com
If crafts are your thing, check out Marie LeBaron’s blog, which is my go-to place for craft inspiration. I’m definitely going to make the acorn magnets to put on my fridge—who knew acorns could be so cute?

Thriftydecorating.com
Want to find a neat little product that can brighten your décor on a dime? Then this site is a must! Thriftydecorating.com has great instant updates for the home. Be sure to check out the candle covers—I want them in every pattern.

Junk Camp
If you love garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores, check out this site. Blogger Ki Nassauer shows how she turns her junk finds into true treasures (check out her bookend project). Now all the stuff you find can have a purpose, instead of gathering dust in the garage.

Tipnut.com
Do you find that household tips, DIY projects and cleaning hints get lost over the years? Enter tipnut.com, a comprehensive site of all different types of household tips and ideas. Got an ink stain on your sofa? Tipnut’s got a solution.

The holiday sanity secrets in the Home section will certainly help keep my head from spinning this season.
