Featured Budget Decorating Ideas

Summer is a great time to take advantage of Mother Nature's bounty. Find interesting decorating items for your preschoolers bedroom in the woods, at the beach, or even in your own backyard. Collect river rocks or sea shells to display in your preschooler's bedroom or make a collage of leaves for a unique wall hanging.

Flea Market Finds
Many household items that otherwise would end up in a landfill, can be dressed up with paint and a little elbow grease, to serve as fun and decorative accessories for your preschoolers bedroom. Celebrate spring time by recycling household items into fresh decorating accessories. Below are ideas for a recycled arts and crafts caddy, a play table, and a reupholstered chair, perfect for a preschool reading nook.

Custom Tea Tray
The next time your preschooler wants to have a tea party, why not serve it on your own custom tea tray? This tray is easy to make, using decoupage and photocopied images from your preschooler's favorite storybook. You can even create a tray to match the theme in your preschooler's bedroom, by using leftover wallpaper. Make snack time extra special for you and your preschooler!

Rooms That Grow With Your Preschooler
Are you getting ready to decorate your preschooler's bedroom? Thomas the Tank Engine and Barbie won't always be the ideal theme for your preschooler's bedroom. Instead of redoing your preschooler's bedroom as he grows, try using some of these simple techniques to create a bedroom that will grow with your preschooler. Ideas include using a neutral colored paint and easy-to-update wall borders. 

Chalkboard Window
An easy and inexpensive project for your preschooler's bedroom or playroom is a chalkboard made from a recycled window frame. If you don't have an old window frame handy, don't despair. Chalkboard paint is so versatile, you can apply it to most any surface, from plastered walls to closet doors. Let your preschooler's imagination run wild with their very own chalkboard!
