AP9 Shopping Essentials, IK9 Shopping Essentials Provides Cost-Saving Strategies for Do-It-Yourself Interior Designers

AP9 Shopping Essentials, IK9 Shopping Essentials understands the elusive dream that many share of having a famous interior designer visit your home and brighten your favorite rooms with interesting artwork and accents. The dream may be free, but the reality can be very pricey.

However, with a few savvy do-it-yourself pointers from AP9 ShoppingEssentials, IK9 Shopping Essentials, you can skip the expensive pro and overpriced artwork and create a high-end look for your home for a fraction of the cost. Best of all, you can truly claim that your creations are one-of-kind collector’s items!

AP9 Shopping Essentials, IK9 Shopping Essentials offers home décor projects you can do yourself:

Frame a family story. Re-using old picture frames to capture a fun family vacation makes for unique wall art as well as a good conversation piece. Glue a few photos, ticket stubs, postcards, even trinkets such as seashells, menus, or small souvenirs on sturdy paper to make a collage ready for framing. It can be small or large — the choice is yours for making a personalized accent for your home.

Bring a basket to life. Visit your local florist and bargain for slightly damaged baskets that can’t be sold at retail price. A little paint, ribbon, fabric and sparkly beads can hide small blemishes on baskets of all sizes. Your new treasure can be decorated with a seasonal theme or coordinated with your existing home décor. The attractive basket can store kitchen gadgets, beauty items, stationery, bathroom towels and other home accessories, or it can be loaded with baked goods to be given as a gift.

Make moving art. A homemade mobile offers a three-dimensional opportunity to creatively assemble and display small, ordinary, lightweight items. Use a wooden embroidery ring to hang colorful puzzle pieces, playing cards, dried flowers or holiday ornaments, or try your hand at bending wire into fun shapes for an abstract design.

Modify with mosaics. Revive the old table lamp that has been in the family for too many generations with colorful ceramic mosaic tiles. Save broken china pieces to decorate the top of an old end table. Dress up a mirror frame with jewel-toned glass mosaic pieces. Cook up a simple repeating pattern of checks, circles or stripes to add a new mosaic backsplash to your kitchen.
