Budget Mondays

Monday – 6/2/2014

It’s Monday – a painful day for most people, yours truly included. Sometimes it is made even more painful as we remember just how much money we ended up spending over the weekend.

Budget

It’s one word that can make people cringe, angry and sad all at the same time, a rare occurrence indeed. There are plenty of reasons for this – people are told at work that their budgets are being cut, their ideas cannot be funded because they are not in the budget, and in our personal life, our budgets don’t usually quite match up to our desires.

Our region has been fortunate enough to have had fantastic weather over the last several weeks, and this has also happened to coincide with beginning of the summer season. Backyard parties, pool parties, and other outdoor entertaining opportunities are a great chance to showcase your yard and outdoor features. In addition to outdoor entertaining, however, there are also ample opportunities to showcase your home to your guests — it is never too late for some spring cleaning and budget friendly home improvement. Let’s take a look at a few budget friendly ways to make your home look its best.

1) Paint
2) Have friends and family pitch in
3) Buy stock items and customize to your liking
4) Reuse items you already have laying around
5) Get creative with your accessories

Those tips, and more, are included below!
