Zero Dollar Decorating Challenge

I was watching Kelly from House of Aqua on Youtube the other day (if you haven't checked out her channel, you are missing out!), and decided to participate in her fun Zero Dollar Decorating Challenge.  The challenge consisted of decorating a space or room in your house without spending any money.  Sounds easy enough, right?  Well, it was a bit challenging for me because everything we own has its place in our home, but I still managed to pull it off. 

Let's see what I started of with...

As you can see, the layout of the furniture doesn't do this room justice.  The bookcase seems to be the focal point instead of the sofa and chairs, plus it looks a bit cluttered.

Now for the after.  By rearranging the furniture I was able to create a better conversation area, leaving more floor space to play with my son. :)

I moved the bookcase over to this wall and I really like it.  I also added a few more books and decorating items.

 

My desk area stayed the same since its the perfect size for this corner.

Even though the room did not change, by rearranging the furniture and adding a few decorating pieces I already owned, the room feels like a completely different space.  I had so much fun participating in this challenge, plus it didn't cost me any money.  Just like Kelly challenged her viewers, I challenge you to redo a space or room in your house.  You will be amazed at what you can accomplish with some free time and a little imagination.   

Thank you so much for reading!
