Garage sale and thrift store furniture bargains abound. Our home furnishings include many cherished family heirlooms, such as an iron bed my folks bought at a sale, or the hand carved bed frame purchased by my great-grandfather. Although upholstery material can be very expensive (think $25+ a yard), you can find it on sale.

Buy a dated, smooth-gliding rocker at a garage sale for next to nothing and customize it with several yards of fabric and a staple gun.

While we understand that many property owners do not allow tenants to paint with the latest trending colors, it is still possible to add some spice and texture to your home. You can visit garage sales, local flea markets and scratch and dent stores to locate used furniture that needs to be refurbished. Budget and Kid Friendly Fun.
