Picture this: you live in a fifth floor walk-up in the city with a glorious view of the brick wall of the building next door you overlook an alley filled with dumpsters or your main window looks directly into the apartment across the way which is inhabited by an ugly naked guy.
What to do?
Never fear! The folks at
Harriet Carter have the perfect solution for you in the form of "
landscape curtains."

Is anything more quintessentially Halloween than candy corn? I knew I
wanted to make a cute candle centerpiece but do it on the cheap.
One of
my favorite ways to help my money go farther is to reuse things I
already have in my home. I also am no Martha Stewart so most of my craft
projects are very simple.

Money Saving Tips

Are you in the midst of Fall decorating? It's a great feeling to walk around the neighborhood and see that my neighbors have either begun to decorate their front yards or in the process of doing so.
Not only do I like the pumpkins sitting along the front porch, but I love the wreaths showcased on the main doors of their homes. Something about those autumn wreaths made of golden bearded wheat, yellow lonas, and golden strawflowers puts me in the mood for Fall.
Fall decorating doesn't have to be expensive and in fact you can save money by doing DIY projects to give your home an affordable face-lift for the season. If you are short on ideas or need more inspiration, this week our
DealPros have some really cool projects that will keep you busy and give your home that seasonal touch. So roll up your sleeves, grab a pair of scissors, and get ready to make some masterpieces!

DealPro Tips
Hope you had a fantastic Labor Day weekend! Did you go on a mini-vacation or score some deals during the big weekend sales? I for one, went on a trip to Palm Springs. All I did was relax. My phone was off, never turned on my laptop and my brain was on vacation (
this has never happened to me before).
Whether you went on short trip to the desert or simply got to sleep in for the first time, I'm sure the time off was spent nicely. Our
DealPros had an eventful week as well. Everything from saving up to 50% on a vacation to discovering a garage sale that set up a "grocery store" with their stockpile (
yikes!).
Saving money on a vacationHow do you save money on a vacation? Recently, Lauren of IamTHATLady went on her family vacation to North Carolina and she made an impromptu video on
How to Save Money on Vacations. Watch her video to see how she was able to rent an entire beach house on the beach for a reasonable price.
On my trip to Palm Springs, we took advantage of my husband's hotel benefits because of his employment, and we ended up saving over 80% on a very nice suite. This let us splurge on the dining aspect of our trip which came out to be more than our hotel stay.

Image by Wonderlane via FlickrThere are some people who hate change and some people who love change. I happen to be one of those people that loves change. I'd rearrange my furniture every month and redecorate every year if my budget would allow for it. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
