Decorating on a Dime: 15 Free & Affordable Home Refresh Ideas

[@mikki3961]

My mother would rearrange our home so often that my dad would just sigh when he came home. I do the same thing, my husband is always asking where things are, or saying where did we get that! It feels so good to see your favorite things in a new light.

[@alynneredmon9560]

As always. Loved❤❤❤ you changes.I’m still 😮making changes for summer, oops. Keep on keeping on with great ideas.You are fantastic, thanks again.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yes! Rearranging feels like having a whole room full of new things. And, my husband is the same. It’s handy that he rarely even notices when I buy something new! 😜

[@jamieboylan641]

😂 that’s cute. Your dad sighing when he came home. I love it when men allow their wives to just take care of the home with little to no fuss about it. 🥰

[@shellylemons]

I don’t rearrange my furniture but I do decor. We plan on remodeling soon and I have a list of items I want to buy secondhand. So far I have bought two mirrors that are $80 each on Amazon. I gave only $22 for both.

[@sc12351]

I’ve always done the same thing. My husband finally asked me just not to move the bed so often. I loved it and still love it just not as easy to do it by myself at 72🤣

[@poodlegirl55]

My daughter say I move cabinets like most people move vases. So I'm here for it Sherry!

[@lindawalker5591]

My girls say that I paint the walls so much that its a wonder there is room left to walk into the room from the layers of paint LOL!!!

[@jennifersetser9091]

I’m so glad to know that others rearrange a bunch,too! My family thinks I’m nuts,but some of them haven’t changed anything for years!

[@poodlegirl55]

@@jennifersetser9091 Funny that you commented today on my five month old comment. I just moved four cabinets the last two days!😄

[@stacia6655]

Thanks for reminding us to use what we have sometimes we forget that we bought something because we loved it and never think to move somewhere else, I loved the video today about 15 ways to update your home, it was a great reminder of all the beautiful decor that I already have and do not have to purchase anything. Thanks for sharing with the world.

[@sandramiller8183]

I’ve been doing these things all my adult life! Thanks for letting me know I’m not crazy! Especially rearranging! 😀

You are the QUEEN of thrift and decorate!! I bow down to you ;0)

[@annenickmom]

Sherry, all of these updates are so very much "you" and help us to see greater potential in what we already have. Watching and listening to your process for making changes is an inspiring tutorial for all of us who want to make our homes better reflect who we are. Thanks again for the time you put into these weekly videos.

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome, AnneNick Mom! I’m so glad you enjoy my videos! 😊

[@kathyirwin6854]

I’m sorry, but I just didn’t want this video to end… I am amazed with your home and decor and thoroughly enjoyed myself!!! 😂😂❤❤

[@robinwebb2160]

Beautiful 😍 I love switching around the furniture and decor in my house. My mother was the same! She also taught 1st grade. From week to week, her students never knew where they'd find their desks 😂❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Robin! I rearranged my classroom frequently, too-half of the kids would be excited for something new and half would complain!

[@serenakoleno9338]

As a classroom grandparent, it messes up trying to remember names. When you have nearly a hundred students in four classes. . . 😮

[@toosense]

Ha! Too funny! 😂

[@sallywest5634]

I often move furniture around and your so right it makes a room look fresh again and a lick of paint gives a whole new look to a tired piece. Love all you done today Sherry but my favourite this week has to be your adorable little Edgar, I could watch him all day lol. Xxx

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Sally! He carries that stuffed rabbit around all the time which I think is so cute.

[@HeyitsChar532]

@@CanterburyCottage awww. I love Edgar too!

[@grannygarden5887]

I loved the mantle and fireplace area changes the best and the green velvet ribbon did wonders for the lampshades. Rearranging is always so much fun and can literally Cost nothing. A win win combo. Thank u Sherry for all the ideas.😢

[@gaylnbowers7558]

I love to do that myself...moving and swapping things. Your refresh was lovely.

[@everyonehasone7818]

This is the "If you give a mouse a cookie" decorating that I swear by! At least, that's what I call it when my daughter notices new thrift and estate sale purchases in my constantly shifting house. If you move one chair, of course you need to change the table... so then you switch lamps, then insert the new bust you found for $2 at the thrift store, lifted by 3 vintage books you picked up for a quarter each at a yard sale! That means you need to swap pictures with the one in the bedroom....😂

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so RIGHT! I wish I had thought of that book-it is the perfect analogy for how I decorate, too!!! (I may have to use this in a post!)

[@donnamcl6134]

Sherry I just LOVE your home! Thank you for always sharing your ideas.

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! Thank you, Donna!

Oh, thank you, Barb!😊

[@valiaudet3415]

I'm with your mother. I move things all the time 🎉🎉

[@kerryclare3456]

I learned to sew, age 9, with a hot steam iron nearby. All the pieces you make, are crisp and tidy that way. So handy for hemming! (Probably made hundreds of garmets and drapes by this time of my life) Hint: Ironing is actually a shortcut! Thank you so much for your videos. They make me feel warm and fuzzy, and creative! ❤🎉

“If you give a mouse a cookie”: if you know, you know. Beautiful done. Looking to do some changes for fall. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yes!!! Several viewers have mentioned this book. I wish I had thought of that analogy!!! It perfectly describes my decorating process (and probably yours, too)!

[@TeresaLuna-xx4ed]

I enjoyed this so much! I do a lot of what you did and it makes things look new. All I have to do is move something to a different room and like you said it is a domino affect! So satisfying❤

[@user-ly8wp7nh5c]

I do the same too, always changing and rearranging and repainting .so refreshing! Sherry you are amazingly creative as always , love your creativity, energy and home ❤️❤️

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you so much! You are so kind!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yes! I don’t understand people who never move furniture after placing it in a room. Growing up, I rearranged my bedroom in every possible configuration-some of them were awkward, but you never know until you try!

[@christinecochran6034]

I love love love the piano panel on the wall!!!!!!!

[@RtTrningGrl]

I love the changes! Wow! How lucky to score those framed Currier and Ives prints! They look great where you hung them. The grass cloth looks great. The shelves on the side of the fridge - perfect, I love how you arranged them too.

[@MimiJ-f4n]

I'm about ready to move stuff around so good timing! I too, used to rearrange furniture but being 66, haven't done it in awhile. Thanks again for all your encouragement and ideas. It gave me the boost that I needed, although the furniture will stay where it is but all of the other things will make it feel fresh!! Also, I noticed that you have a very straight back!! Me, my sister and my 2 daughters all are getting terrible posture. 😢 You look great!! Thanks again for the inspiring video!!

[@SherryNerreau]

Wow! So many transformations Sherry. Some just by moving around your furniture from one room to another creating totally new looks! And the plate rack being used in the Kitchen/Library I found particularly lovely.

[@jeanjones7486]

So appreciate your ideas on all your new arrangements!👏👏👏👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❣️

[@lindafaierson6030]

Nice redos. You have such good ideas and are so energetic. At 74, I can't move furniture any more but I use to. Love your style.

[@janaebraden9377]

Thank you so much for the inspiration of just moving things around to achieve a new look. I'm always thinking I don't have this or that, but moving things around makes me feel my decor is fresh again. Sometimes a different perspective is all we need. Thank goodness for your weekly videos.

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome, Janae! I love to rearrange. When I was growing up, I arranged my bedroom in every possible configuration (and some of them were awkward)! 😜 It really does help you to see what you already have with fresh eyes. Have fun!

[@katherinepereira9088]

Dear Sherry, what pleasure it must give you to be surrounded by so much beauty. Since I love so many things, the maximalist and eclectic style is right up my alley. As you mention, once you start moving furniture, it does have a domino effect. I am also a great fan of peel and stick wallpaper! It's a great way to change existing furniture and other items. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I hope you will share photos once the event has happened. Thank you for sharing your vision with us.

[@constanceblair6625]

Love rearranging my furniture at least twice a year, giving my home a new look not to mention a deep clean. Thanks again for all the tips on best ways to arrange decor and books on shelving, been putting them to use here at home and I'm pleasantly surprising myself with what I've learned from you.

[@StephanyTraditionalHome]

I had to come back and say thank you for the tips. The one I did was take a picture (frame size and length) I had in my bathroom and took it to the fire place and it looks beautiful, according to me. I usually think outside the box, but it was you who help me, again, thank you. "New Fireplace Screen", No Outside Purchase Needed. Blessings.

[@yzolakitchi]

The winter prints are stunning! There's nothing better than having a good shift around of the furniture. I redid my living room a few weeks ago and it has made a huge difference to the look of the space 🙂

[@heatherwilson2575]

So inspiring!! I actually had to pause the video a few times to go "fluff" different areas of my home. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with all of us!

[@sherylcarter6242]

You inspired me to get some projects done last week, and now here you go again. Thanks!

Virtual standing ovation, Sherry! So many wonderful, inspirational ideas in one video!❤

[@caregiver1418]

I love it all. The Currier and Ives prints are my fav but all of your little touches never cease to amaze me. The glass case that you purchased is fantasic with the "outside" natural elements added. I so wish you had a channel where we could send you short videos or photos of our items to ask what you'd do with them or how to style them. I pick things up from the thrift stores always thinking that I have an idea for them....but when I sit down and try to be inspired.....I'm at a loss. You're great at what you do.

[@margaretdillinger5090]

You have such beautiful home. You always know exactly what you need to do and go at it. Love your creativity in making your house a warm inviting home.😊❤

I have had the same husband for forty six years this August , but I have to change the rooms up in our house all the time. I sometimes do a few tweaks , other times do a full on. I love what you did with the fireplace cover. I can not do fall decor, right now. I have almost as much as Christmas, but I am a summer girl and don’t want to think what comes after Fall. Your house is warm and lovely. ❤❤❤❤

[@jillbruce3624]

Hi Sherry. I love moving things around also. My husband used to joke with others saying he never walked around the house at night in the dark to prevent injuries. Haha. I think I am to try my hand at peel and stick wallpaper in an antique armoire we have.
